'"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

Susie kn6w that In tier statement
ahe said that she came down to get
a book and heard voices Is 'he
study. 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"
