Carlolne got her Veath with a
gasp.
"Why did -on Bay ltt You oughtn't

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

"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.

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

first ol July, I romember getting Into

there's a gap until I woke up In

"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

v "Who told you?"
'She did."
"That Riddel! woman'. '
"Yes."
"But why?" ,
"She showed me a marrlaite cer

"She said so."
"And you believed her I

office. She showed me the certificate
Of course I believed her."

"You wrote me on the seventh of

"Where from?"
"London. But you didn't give any

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.
