SUDDEN DECI8I0N
MRS. Rodgers tank her rata to
a sepulchral whisper.
"Thar was a tray with whisky
and loda and two glasses In Mr. Van
Berg's stndy, and the police took 'em
for Anger-prints. And Mrs. Henry
says to me, 'That wasn't no plain
straightforward burglar,' she says.
.It a burglar comes In on a gentle
man In the middle of the night, they
don't, sit down and hare drinks to
gethernot much they don't,' she
says."
"Were the glasses full or empty?"
aid the ehy young man.
"Empty down to the last drop,"
said Mrs. Rodgers. "And what's
more but there, p'raps I didn't
ought to repeat that." '
"I'm sure none of as will let It go
any farther,' said the elder Miss
Boring.
. "Well, I don't know aa Td better,
seeing as Mm. Henry wouldn't ha'
sold me If It hadn't been for me
arerhearlcg what passed between
her and Mrs. Van Berg's maid."
Caroline's heart began to beat
hard and fast. What was she going
lo hearT She felt as If at any mo
ment this fat good-natured woman
might aay something that couldn't
rer be unsaid again something
dangerous, something that might
hurt Jim.
Everyone was begging Mrs. Rod
gers to go on.
"Wall, I dont know as I ought
That's Ufa worst ot talking you
run on, and then you can't take It
back again. Lor bless me If we
haven't gqt to Meade already! and
perhaps Just as well, or t might hare
said more than I ought. Now, I
wonder If anyone 'ud be good enough
to hand my basket out after me.
It's a deal easier to got out back
wards when yon come to my site."
The train jerked and clanked to a
standstill. The shy young man
opened the door. Mrs. Rodgers
backed out, took her basket, and
bade the carriage at large an affable
farewell.
lyil'HOUT having thought of It
' beforehand, Caroline found her-
aelf saying, "Please may I pass?"
She had to say that because the
choolboy was standing right In the
doorway. He moved as the guard
am along to shut the door.
Caroline said In a soft breathless
-roles, "I'm getting out," and jumped
down on to the platform just as the
train began to move. She didn't wait
for the guard to acold her.
Mrs. Rodgers was already giving
p her ticket. Caroline ran after her
and caught her up just outside the
station where Meade Hill runs steep
ly up between hedges full of bram
ble and'elder.
Mrs. Rodger stared at her In as
tonishment, and Carolina realised
that she had no Idea what she was
going to say. It must have come
ever her suddenly that she simply
couldn't let Mrs. Rodgers go, and
bow that she had caught her up
aba aald the first thing that came
into her bead.
"Can I help you with your basket?"
Mrs. Rodgers looked her up and
down. . -
"What's a young lady like you
want to carry my basket for?"
"I'm going your way."
"And how do you know what way
Fra going, miss?"
Caroline looked rather as If she
Bad been caught stealing jam. Her
lips trembled Into a smile.
"1 r-ran after you," she said.
Mrs. Rodgers set down her basket
in the road and nodded.
"Honesty's the best policy. What
brought you after me? For by the
- look of you you hadnt any thoughts
of getting out here."
"No," said Caroline," "I should
truly like to carry your basket" She
picked 1t up, and they began to
mount the hill.
"And that's what you cams after
ma for, I'll b boundl"
"No I cam after you because I
wanted to talk to you."
"That's straight anywa And
what hay yo got to sayt
"I didn't want to say anything. I
wanted yoi to tell m what Mrs,
Henry told you."
A t R8. Rodgers swung her ampVt
black skirts In silence. They Just
cleared the dust of the road. Hsf
color deepened as she climbed.
"Mrs. Rodger "
Mrs. Rodgers turned a streaming
crimson fac upon her.
"Talk on this '111, I can't" ah
panted, and Caroline had to get wbafc
comfort aha could from that
At the top ot the hill there was a
stile, and on the step ot the atil
Mrs. Rodgers seated herself and
prooeeded to get ber breath. Caro
lina stood before her with the bas
ket and fslt her courage slip and
slip away.
"Well?" said Mrs. Rodger at last
Caroline looked at her Imploringly.
"I'm going your way," Caroline aald.
"Well, since we're 'ere, we'd best
have It out."
Caroline spoke before all her cour
age loft her.
"Will you please tell me what Mrs.
Henry said?"
"And why?"
"I thought I'd like to know." said
Caroline rather faintly.
"And why?" said Mrs. Rodgors In
an even slower and more porten
tous manner.
Caroline began to speak quickly.
"You were telling us as the train
stopped, and I I wanted to know.
You were telling everyone in the
carriage."
Mrs. Rodgers nodded.
"What's taken light can bs told
light 'Twasn't nothing to them, no
more than It wasn't to me. Stands to
reason ererybody'U talk about a
murder and this Is as good aa one
by all accounts."
Then won't you tell me?"
I dunno " said Mrs. Rodger. Sh
parsed her Up together and cast
an odd look at Caroline. "Do you
know where I'm going?" she said
with apparent Irrelevance. "No, I
don't suppose yo do. WeH, I'm
walking aoross the field by this
here footpath to Stowbury to spend
the day with . my slater, Harriet.
Brown, that used to be Harriet
