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,

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."

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(

said, and pinched his arm Quite,
hard,

"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?"
