Carlolne got her Veath with a gasp. "Why did -on Bay ltt You oughtn't yon mustn't! Jim darling!" He caught her wrists and held them Id a hard, heavy grip. "Pull yourself together! Do you hearT Oh yes, you can It you like. You're just making it more difficult for ns both." She had been straining away from him, her voice broken and her whole body ehaklng, but at his last words (he went quiet and limp. He let go of her, and she drooped forward. It was just as If some spring bad failed. She said In a little lifeless voice, "Tell me." A vapor had passed across the address yoi laid to write to vom bank." "And you wrote t' "I wrote', and Aunt Grace wrote. I was staying with her at Craig ellachle. She asked you to come np, and you didn't answer tor three whole days and then you didn't write to me, only to Aunt Grace." "What did I say?" "You said you might bs able to come later on. And then you didn't write again till two weeks ago, and you said you might be able to get off on the seventh If Aunt Grace could have you, and you would take a steamer up the coast And then and then you never came." "That was the last you heard?" "Yes. Don't you remember any thing about it?" "No." "You said you remembered bits." He shook bis head impatiently. "I don't remember writing to you at all. The things I remember" He broke off. Vividly before his mind there appeared the things that he remembered a decanter and two glasses; a syphon with the light striking through it; Elmer Van Berg lifting his glass; the bubbles rising In It tiny bubbles racing up wards to the brim. That was on sharply colored piece. M.

The air was dark between - them; he could not see her face. She waited. Her silence made her teem a long way off. Ho began to speak In a strained, level voice. "I'm going to toll you br It Isn't easy, because I don't know where I am. You see, the last thing I remem ber la Isndtag at Liverpool on the first ol July, I romember getting Into the train for London, and after that there's a gap until I woke up In Ledllngton.". "What?" said Caroline. All the trobp wont out of nor. She sat bolt tprlght find stared at him through the dusk. "I was told I'd been rescued from fee Alios Arden found on a ledge en the cliffs after she broke up, and taken to the Elston cottage hospital. I was told that my wife hnrt fetched ne away." v "Who told you?" 'She did." "That Riddel! woman'. ' "Yes." "But why?" , "She showed me a marrlaite cer tificate." "Youra?" "She said so." "And you believed her I T SUPPOSE I did yes. of course I did. I didn't know who I was or how I'd got there I didn't know ary thing except what she told me. She ssld my name was Jim Rlddell, and that hers was Nosta Rlddell. Her brother and sister-in-law said the same thing. She said we'd been married at the Grove Road registry office. She showed me the certificate Of course I believed her." "But It len't true!" sold Caroline In a warm. Indignant voice. He was silent. "Jim It Isn't true!" He said, "I can't romeuilii. thing after the first of July " "Not anything?" She saw him wince. He num. "Bit of things broken up. worse than not remembering at all much worse." "You wrote me on the seventh of July," said Caroline quickly. "Where from?" "London. But you didn't give any any- It's was," Jim said. The sweat came out on his tore head. He said, quick and uneven, "I remember drinking with Elmer Van Berg." 'TpHE vapor passed from before the moon, and he saw Caroline like hor own ghost, looking at him with wide, startled eyes. She could not have told why the words startled her so "I remember drinking with Elmer Van Berg." Why shouldn't he remember It? What was there to startle her in that? He wont on speaking. "There wasn't anything about that In the papers I read them all this morning. But the tray and the glasses must have been there." A light norvous shudder paused over Caroline. "The papers?" she said. Ho nocldud. "I read thorn all. The tray and the glasses must have been there when they found Elmer." "Jim! What are you saying?" He said, "I wonder If they've got my finger-prints." . Caroline flung herself towards him and caught his hand. "Jim I'm frightened. What are you saying?" "I'm telling you what you wanted to know. That's one of the bits I remember drinking with Elmer Van Berg the night he was shot. Do you want to hear any more?" Caroline's hand clung to his. "Yes," she said. He laughed. "You won't like It. You'd bettor go home." "Tell me." She felt his hand twltoh. His voice changed. "It's not like remembering really It'a like seeing a lot of little pic turesbroken. Thore's one of a fog. And I can hear someone talking I don't know whother It's me or someone else. It's beastly. The voice keeps saying, 'Like a kid's green heads no one knows but me no one knows where they are a kid's green beads'" Ha stopped. She felt the muscles rise as ha clenched his hand. (Copyright, til.
