Jim can remember only a few things from the past sir tr.eeks and eon help very little. Caroline continues the. fir.-- of her investigation." Chapter 32 IT 13 LOVE '"T IX)N'T believe Mrs. llodgers would havs told mo anything If the hadn't turned nut to be Nanus's Bister," Caroline continued. "I didn't recognize her, because she used to be thin like Nanna. and now she's exactly like a foather-bed. flut she knew me at once she e'' ' i't changed a bit." 'No you haven't," said Jim. And that was the last moment that be could have said It, because, In the very middle of saying it, Caroline topped being the dearly familiar child, half playmate and halt slstor, ;whom he had teas 3d, petted and Adored from the time she had first clutched at his hair with her baby dingers. Something happened, and she was a new Caroline a Caroline whom le knew, and did not know, whose luind on bis arm sont a tremor all oyer him. It was horribly disconcert ing and embarrassing. Ho lost the thread of what she was saying, be cause there was a pounding noise In bis ears. He looked at her, and then looked Quickly away. She wai a new, en chanted Caroline, who took his fireath with her warmth and beauty i enchanted, and enchanting. Jim took hold of himself. "I didn't hear what you said." Re looked no blghor than the d list ened which covered the bed, but be knew that sho t.-is looking at him. He hadn't tho faintest Idea what she had said, or what she was going to cay. It came like a bomb shell. "They think you wore In love with llfrs. Van Dorg." He looked up then with a sharply Interrogative Jerk of the bead. "With Susie?" "Yes." Her rycj woro very bright. ''Were youT You needn't say If you don't want to." "Well, I wasn't What put It Into anyone's bead that I was?" "That's what I was telling you," sold Caroline earnestly. "You see, Mrs. Van Horg's maid Is going about saying that Mr. Van Uerg was shot because bo found out somothlng be wasn't merit to that's to say, sho doesn't say It right out, she Just drops bints. Mrs. Rndgera calls her an ' 'intlng 'ussy.' And she says ahe says porhaps the emeralds ,weren't stolon at all, only hlddon to .make It look as If there bad boon a iburglary." "What damned nonsensol" "Jim, you didn't think I bellovod Ibei'I It was only I thought you liright have carod for her and itbere might have been a quarrel." "Well, I dldn t!" He tTot up and bogan to walk about the room. It was more than he could do to sit wllhln a yard of Caroline And hoar her ask hlra whether be was In love with another woman. SHE sat whore she was, barehead ed, her old brown coat opon over a croam shirt and shabby tweed klrt. Hor eyes followed him. "There wasn't any quarrol?" "How do I know?" It was damnable, but e didn't fcnow. "Jim you don't nilnd my tolling you? The hussy saya Mrs. Van Berg used to have a photograph ot you. She says It was always out until that night She says It has novor been out slnco." He stood In the middle ot the iroom frowning Intently. "I gave her a photograph they'd been awfully good to me. She may have had half a doion reasons for putting It away." He said It without conviction. Why should she havo put his photograph away like that? You'd think a woman whose husband bad Just boon shot would have something hpttrr to do. You wouldn't expect her to be fiddling with photo graphs. He began to wonder whether 6uslo Van Tlorg know that he had been with Kliner (hat night. "I was there," bo said. Klmer and I bad drinks togpther. I wonder U ARABS KILLED IN JAFFA, Pulwtlne. Oct. 38.

She may have heard more than she said she may have recog nised my voice." "Wouldn't she have said?" "I don't know we were pretty good friends she'd know I wouldn't " He broke off sharp. 8uppose by any horrible chance he and Elmer had had a row. Sup pose Susie had heard them quarrel ling. And then Elmer Van Berg had been found shot Would Susie have kept his photograph out after that! Or would eho have pushed It out of sight with nervous, shaking hands? He lost a bit ot what Caroline was saying somothlng about finger prints. Then he got it She was talk ing about Elmer's finger-print book. "There was a page torn out," said Caroline. He felt the shock ot that as she had felt It "When?" "Oh afterwards when the police found it You see, you were right about the drinks. There was a tray and glasses, and the police took the finger-prints. And then the butler told them about Mr. Van Berg's hook. He told them It was on the table, but when they looked for It It wasn't there. They found It stuffed down behind tbe book-case. And there was a page torn out" "A page torn out!" Then, sharply, "How did they know?" "The cook says she remembers the page. She hasn't told the police yet. Mrs. Rodgers says she won't unless she Is asked, hut they might ask her any minute. She says she remembers because there wasn't any name on that page, only Initials. I suppose she takes an Interest In finger-prints because ot her husband being a policeman. I suppose" "What wore the Initials?" Caroline looked at him piteously. It hurt too much. Her oarnatlon color was all gone. Her voice was a whisper as she said, "J.R." JIM laughed. His laughser had a bard edge to It "We're putting the rope round my neck all right" he said. "Jim!" "Thoy were my finger-prints I remember making them and putting my Initials thero. But Til swear" Ho stopped short. "What?" said Caroline quickly. He laughed again. "I was going to say I oould swear I hadn't torn the page out but I can't I can't swear to anything. Go on. Are there any more damning bits of evidence?" Caroline clenchtd her hands. "The cook's nephew saw you In the drive. Ho used to caddy for you a boy called Willie Bowman." "Willie? He knew me?" "Yea, he did. He told his aunt he said It was about midnight" "That's a bit of bad luok, hut It can't be helped. I don't seem to have covered my tracks very well do I?" He saw Caroline looking at him with loving, anxious eyes. The can dle light was bright on her ruffled hair. He looked away from hor and spoke from where he stood with his back to the hearth. "I've got to make up my mind what I'm going to do." "Yea." He squared his shoulders. "What 1 should like to do Is to open up the house, got In servants, and go about my affairs as I've a perfoct right to do." "Yes," said Caroline. Her eyes brightened. Jim at Hale Place Jim quite noarl It was like the most lovely dream. But she knew quite well that it was a dream, "That's what I'd like to do. What I expect I ought to do Is to go up to town and sea Robert Arbuth not " He paused. The pause lasted a long time. . . . "What I'm going to do Is what will look most horribly damning it things go wrong and It comes to a trial. I'm going to mark time." He bogan to pace the room again with a certain reatloss energy. "You see. It I come out Into the open, everyone will ask me questions, and every time It's a question I can't answer, I'll be making things worse. Where have I been and what have I been doing. Somotlmes I'm on the edge of remembering, too I want to give myselt a chance stay here and keep quiet" (Copyright, nti, l. a.
