Outrageous Fortune BYXOPBIBt Carotins Leigh has left Jim Randal, her comm. hiding at Hale Place, where he was reared, while she goes to London to look up Nesta Kiddell's mar rlags record. Neeta says Jim Is her hueband, and that he not only stole the Van Berg emeralds, but shot JSlmer Van Berg. Jim's memory is gone, althouah he recalls drinking uith Van Berg. A u-omafl on (ha train remarks that the notice are taking finger print from glasses found at the van Bergs; Caroline follows her, learns that a gage is milting from the book in which Van Berg kept the finger prints of hie friends and that the misting page bore the Initials "J. tt." Hhe flnde nothlna conclusive in London, ercrptlng the former addresses of Xeeta and her husband. Chapter 11 ON THE TRAIL CAROLINE! turned to the left, and she turned, to the right; then she turned to the left again and ar rived at Saracen Row. It was a narrow street of prim, decent houses. No. 14 was about half way down on the right-hand side. She rang the bell, and presently the door was opened by a thin mid-die-aged woman In a Ulae overall. Her drab hair was curled across ber forehead under a net She looked as It she had been lnter rupted In the middle ot her cook ing, for her (ace was flushed and damp, and there was a dab of flour on her sleeve. "Why do you always "I'm. so sorry to trouble you," said Caroline, "but was a Mr. James Rlddell living here In July?" "You've made a mistake," said the thin woman, and moved to shut the door. The smell o' cabbage came up behind her. Caroline took a Quick step for ward. With one part of her mind she wondered why people who lived In small houses nearly alwaya had cabbage for lunch; with another part she was thinking, "I mustn't let her shut the door." , "Oh please," ahe said "won't you try and help me!" "I don't take gontlemen lodgers." She had a tight voice and a polite accent. "He gave this address," said Caroline. "Ton don't know thp name at all?" "Sorry I don't," said the thin wo man, and made such a decided movement to shut the door that Caroline stepped back and next moment found herself looking at the shabby letter-box. The cabbage was but In, and she was shu. out. Whoever Jim Rlddell might be, It seemed pretty clear that he had given a false address. She won dered what had made him pitch on this one. Perhaps the name bad stuck In bis mind. Saracen Row It was the sort ot name that might stick. And us for the number, 14 was as good as any another. SKIS went back to drove Road and rang the bell ot No. I. Here was quite a different type of landlady a stout rolling person with a bibulous eye and an easy, jolly tongue. Ot course she remem bered Miss Williams "Why, she was marrlod from here and a pity she couldn't have a proper wedding. After all, you can't get married that way only once, with a wroath and a veil, and white satin slippers." "Oh, yes," said Carolina. "And (bout Miss Williams?" "Ah! She's In the handsomo, haughty style, I was more clinging a way with me, If you understand what I mean a bit on the playful side. It goes down with the gentle- men especially If they're In the strong silent way thomselves. It's PHOENIX CIRCLE MEET PREVIOUSLY ENJOYED PHOENIX, Oot. 34. (Spl.) An Item In Sunday's paper, advertising a meeting of the Neighbor of Wood NOW IS THE TO BUY the little fellows that fall for' the big upstanding girls." Caroline's heart Jumped. She said quickly and breathlessly, "The man Miss Williams married was he small I" "Never set eyes on him. Tes, you may well look surprised. 'The mys tery man,' I called him, and One and angry she was 'And what do you mean by that, Mrs. HawklnsT' 'Why I said, 'when a young lady keeps her young gentleman as dark as you do yours meeting hint round the 'corner and not so much as letting him see you home well, she must expect remarks to be passed, and whether she expects It or not, passed they will be.' "Really, you know, she'd a violent temper, for I'd hardly got the words out of my lips, when .he was through the door and banged It so hard that my first-floor-front came out on the landing to know what was up. 'Tempers,' I said. 'And mys tery or no mystery, I'm sorry for the man that marries her, for she's one ot those that'll have the upper hand or bust herself.' " "Was she here long!" said Caro line. "Took the room (or three weeks and came and went. You've got to live three weeks In a district before yon can get married there, so she make fun of Robert?" left a bag, and she'd be here for day and gone for a week and I'm not saying I wasn't Just as pleased, because the opinion I got ot her was that If she'd been here the whole throe weeks, she'd hare been run ning the show, and me doing odd Jobs and cleaning the boots and knives." Caroline felt an affection for thi bibulous lady. She felt that way ahout Nesta herself. She was a little cheered; but at the same time she didn't really seem to be making any progress. "And you never saw the man she married?" "No one In this house so much SB set eyes on him," said thefat wo man regretfully. IT was after six when Caroline got got back to the cottage. Shs found Pntsy Ann sitting pensively on the honrth-rug. She had a thimble on the middle linger of her right hand, and some blue velvet, a needle-case, a spool of silk, and two pairs of scissors In her lap. But she was not sewing; she did not seem even to have got as far as threading one of the needles. When the door opened, she was gating Into the Are, which was on the point ot going out. Without turning her head, she said. "nobert Arbuthnot has been here. "My poor thing! What's gone wrong now?" "I don't see why anything should have gone wron." "Robert doesn't generally come unless It has. Why, It's only a month slnco he dropped In to say your Boot Sugar bonds had de faulted on Interest. What Is It this time?" "Robert came to lunch." "He always does and breaks the glad news over the coffee." Patsy's head came up suddenly. "Why do you always ni.-ke tun ot Robert? I think It's very wrong ot you! I'm sure it's very good ot him to take so much trouble over our affairs besides), this vas different." fCopyrljst, Ill, J, a. Ltpplncott Co.)
