PAGE FOURTEEN MEDFOTID MAID TRIBUlsT!, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27,- 1933. 1 I Outrageous Fortune tYS'OHSIS: Caroline Leloh had hoptd that her trip to London would solve the mod pussle that surrounds the status of Jim Kan rial, her coualn. Jim cannot recall the events of the laet si weeks; Ketra Hidden has told htm that he is Jim ttiddell, her husand, and that he has not only stolen the fa metis Van tterg emeralds, but has shot Rimer Van Berg, their owner. Carolina fust has gone to Hale Place, where the bewildered Jim is hiding, to report her futile errand when, in the dark at the foot of the stair, she ts paused by a fleeing in truder and then by Jim himielf. Jim returns empty-handed and ex plains the situation to Caroline, Chapter SI JIM'S STORY TIM went on I " "He obviously hadn't teen ma. Well, then I thought I'd find out what he was up to, ao I went after him and the light was halt way up the stairs. I let him got to the top, and go off to the right, and then I follow ed him. He turned off Again and came down here. When I got to the door, he was shining hit torch all round the room. "I thought I'd rather like to know what he was after, I It was rather odd 1 felt as It I did know. He put down the torch, pulled out a box of matches, and struck a match. He was Just going to light the candle "I ought to on the mantloplece, when 1 walked into the room. I ought to have wait ed, but the hoavy householder got the hotter of mo thore was some thing so damned riling about the way he struck that match!" He gave a short laugh. "I said, 'What the something are you doing here?' and he dropped the match, grabbed life torch, charged right In to the mlddlo of me, and banged the door in my face before I got my breath back. It makes me sound like a stiff, but he was most uncommon nippy. It was like trying to get hold Of a cat I wish I'd seen his face." "You didn't whon he struck the match?" "No. He had his back to me. The whole thing didn't take halt a min ute. As I stepped into the room, he dropped the match and butted mo. I hoped you'd seen him." "What did he want?" said Caro line. Jim looked past her with a strain ed expression in hie eyes, "I I don't know " Thore was a pause. lie made a movemont as if shaking something oft. "He may have 'mn a burglar or Just a com mon or garden" tramp." "Yes," said Caroline. Why did ne look like that? She ranio a tittle nearer, "Jim what's the matter?" HB was frowning la puisled way. "I dreamt about this room It's Just come back to mo." "Thcro Isn't anything odd nbcut ithat. Why shouldn't you dream about It? I often dream about plaoos I know." "Thore was something odd about It. A round room, with fire windows like silts that's the way I dreamt about It Why? We've always called It the Blue Room. Why didn't I dream ot It like that? I mean" his frown decponed "why should I make up a perfectly new description of It and dream ot that?" "I don't know," said Caroline. "You can do anything In a dream they're quite mad." She slipped her band through hie arm, "Jim, Ive got elmply heaps to toll you." EX-BLY POSTMASTER FREE ON PROBATION PORTLAND, Oct. 27. (,7, Thom as B.

He pleaded guilty several weeks ago. NOW IS THE PliPlliiHfl 1 jfil few TO BUY ah Her eyes were as eager as a child's. The things that she wanted to tell Jim crowded together In her mind, jostling and pushing one an other tor first place. The last comer had lt( "Jim, I've been to London," aha said, and pinched his arm Quite, hard, "What forr "To sea whether It was you who signed that old register. I thought If I went and looked we should know." He had a moment qf sickening sus pense. He said, "Well?" Quietly enough. "I know It wasn't you but " "But wb it J" Thore was the giddy feeling ot being uncertain where the next step was to take him. "It wasn't a proper signature Just a sort of blggledy-plggledy print ing. And me clerk remembered that It was because Jim Riddell had his right arm In a sling." The feeling ot giddiness Increased. "But you haven't bad anything wrong with your arm, Jim. You haven't have you? And that proves that It wasn't you." HE was looking across at the shuttered window opposite th narrow window with the blue cur tains, the window that wan like t have waited." silt He -was silent. She was get ting frightened, when he said, "I'm afraid that doesn't prove anything. A crook might have very good reasons tor not giving away a specimen of his handwriting. You didn't get hold of anyone who could describe him?" "I trlod," said Caroline. "I did try, Jim. But the woman at the address he gave said she never took men lodgers, so he must have given a false address. Then I tried Nesta Williams' place. Her landlady was terribly chatty and all that, but as she never set eyes on Nesta's young man It wasn't much good." Jim sat leaning forward' on the bed, his elbows on his knees and rathor a blank look on his face. It was as If he had put up his shutters and behind thorn were setting out Caroline's puzzle pieces. They fitted into the bits that Nesta had given him and the bits which he himself had been able to produce. Up to the time of his landing his memory was perfectly clear. Thore was a six weeks' gap, The pieces fitted Into the gap. Ho had landed on the first of July. He might have married Nosta Williams on the twenty-fifth. If between the first and the twenty-fifth he had run off the rails and ooncelved the orasy Idea ot rob bing Elmer Van Berg, he would prob ably have taken steps to cover bla tracks. Why, even it crazy, he should have married Nosta Williams was beyond him. Ho rockoned it as a form ot suicidal mania and left It at that , "I've got heaps more to tell you, Jim," said Caroline, She began to pour out the story of her Interview with Mrs, Rodgers. "I didn't know that I was going to follow her, but when she got out ot the train, some thing just yanked me out of my seat and pushed me on to the platform, and the next thing I knew, we were climbing Meade Hill practically hand in hand, and I was Imploring her to toll me all." "What did she tell you?" (Copyright, JJJJ, J. B. Llpphwort Co.) Jim laarna some vary dtaftirbfr-o thlnaa, tomorrow. PENNSYLVANIA REPEAL BALLOTING UNHINDERED HAiimsmma. pt., oot. st.
