Jim Kandal det'r. mines to remain in huling at hit boyhood home Hale Place, in an effort to regain his memory of the last eta weeks, and ur.f male the situation in which he Ji.ids himself. He may. tor all he can vrove, be both the thief who took the van Berg emeralds and the husband at a woman he detente, Nesta Itiddell. Moreover, from what Caroline Leigh tells him, clues found bu the pmtre at tne van hero house scan to bear out Neeta'e story. Chapter SS THE LETTER pAROLIXB Interrupted Jim with a frightened, "Stay here?' "Why not? You ald Mra. Ledger only came once a week. If she was here yesterday, that glvet me Ave clear days. If I can't remember things by then, I shall send for Robert and put myself in his hands, He stopped In the middle of the floor. "And now you must go." Caroline got up. "Have you got enough blankets Are they aired?" He laughed a real laugh this time. "Who do' thlnk's been airing my bedclothes tor the last seven years?" "I don't know," said Caroline. "And you needn't laugh It's nice of me to want you to have dry blar kets. Don t you think so?" She came up close and stood on tiptoe, putting up her face. "Good-night darling ungratoful Jim!" He said, "I'm not ungrateful." In the middle of the short Ben- tence his voice changed. He would have stepped back, but she held him with a hand on either arm. "Perhaps you'll be grateful when you see what a nice supper I've brought you. I bought the things In town. Good-night!" She kiBsed him as If It were seven years ago, and she a child and be her all but brother. But all of a sud den her heart beat quick and hard. When she had kissed Jim last her heart bad not beaten Ilka this. She stopped back, too confused and troubled by her own feelings to be aware of his. She wanted to be out of the room and out of the houBe. She went to the door and opened It The dark passage lay before her. She stepped out Into It with her thoughts still In great confusion. Why should it make her feel like this to touch Jim's cheek with her Hps? She had always kissed him. What was there to moke this kiss any different fron. all the other kisses? His rigid silence escaped her. She was scarcely aware that he had taken up the candle and was follow ing. They walked along the corri dor and down tho stair without a spoken word. Words unspoken cla mored In them both. lie walked with her down the dark drive and through the sleep Ing village. At the cottage gate he broke the long silence. "You mustn't come again." "I must," said Caroline. "No, you mustn't." "I shall come tomorrow," said Caroline, and was gone betore he eould anawer. THE first mall In the morning brought a proposal In du form from Robert Arbuthnot. Patsy Ann glowed and blushed over It as It it had been the most ardent of love letters. She read It aloud In snatch es, with agitated and enthusiastic comments. It concluded: I have, for some time, nesn con sidering the question ol matrimony. I hope you know me U'oll enough to be euro that I should irlve sm-h a subject the most eerloui coneld ration before taking what I re gard ei an Irrevocable step. Prom the tenor of your conversation yea terday I gather that you would not consider a distant degree of rela tionship, eiioh as exists between yourself and me, as an Insuperable bar to marriage. May I therefore ask whether you could entertain the Idea of accepting me as your husbandT Patsy broke oft and dabbed her ayes. "He makes It sound so solemn doesn't he? I think It's a wonderful letter. Don't you? Pntay dabbed her eyes again. "I don't know how to answer It I can't write a beautiful letter like that." "I shouldn't try," said Caroline. "That'a Robert's sort of letter. You write your own sort, and perhaps he'll sit down at the other end and wonder how you did It." "Do you think so? Do you think I could Just say that he'a made me very happy would that do?" "Beautifully," said Caroline. As she said It the telephone bell began to ring. A acarlet Patsy caught up the receiver.

Prevosfs Beau ty Shop. NOW IS THE TO BUY 1 EVERYWHERE "Caroline If It's him 11 I say?" Then as Caroline, laughing and shaking her bead, was about to run out of tne room, there was a change In voice and manner. A puzzled look came over Pitjy'a face; her color receded, and her voice took on a tone of disappointment "Oh . . . Yes, she's here. Who shall I say? . . . Oh . . . Very well, I'll call her." She turned from the Instrument, which was fastened to the wall at the foot of the stair. "Caroline someone wants you. She won't give any name." Caroline took the receiver with 1 some Impatience. It was so stupid of people not to give their names. If you were cut off, you never knew who had been calling you. She sim ply hated that. There came to her along the wire an almost Inaudible voice. "Is that Caroline Leigh?" "Who la speaking?" "Is that Caroline Leigh?" "Yes. Who is speaking?" "Will you come and aee me? I want to see you very badly." "But who are you? I dldnt hoar " "I didn't say. I want to Bee you about Jim." There was a faint des perate catch In the voice before the name came out IT took Caroline a moment to get her nron vnlrft atnnrlv. 'Are you no, you're not Nosta." "Who Is Nesta? No, never mind I'm Susie. You know now, don't you'; Will you come and see me?" Caroline's heart leapt. Susie Vai Berg wanted to see her. Why? C all things In the world, she wantei most to sea Susie Van Berg. Sh wanted It ao much that she wa afraid to say yes. Could she go- might she go? Was there any pan slble hurt to Jim In her going? She couldn't see any. Susie Van Borg spoke again, a little louder, a little more Insist ently. Are you there? Will you come?" Yes," said Caroline, and had the feeling, like Robert, that she waa taking an Irrevocable atep. "How will you come?" said Susie Van Berg. "I would send the ear- but then the servants would talk " "They'll do that anyhow," aald Caroline with the ghost of a laugb. "But you needn't bother I've got my own little car. When shall I come?" The voice said, "At once." Corollne's thoughts moved rapid ly. She said, Not If you don't want to make talk. It Isn't as If I know you very well. It would be bolter it I came In the afternoon anyono can come In the afternoon." "What time?" The volco lluttorod. "Between live and six," said Caro line. "Will that do?" The voice said, "Yea." The click of the receiver put a full stop to the word. Susie Van Berg turned from the telephone, clutching with both handa at the pale blue satin wrap she was wearing. She had locked both doora before she rang up Caro line Leigh the bedroom door, and the door of the big dressing-room which she had turned Into a sitting room for horaolf. The communicating door stood open between the two rooms. The tolephone waa I the sitting-room. She had hung up the rocelvor be cause she had heard someone try the handle of the bodroom door. She stood for a moment, listening In a strained position, the light of the grey rainy morning falling cold upon her pallor. She had the type of looks which needs the sun. Her hair waa ao pile as to be almost sil ver, her eyes a forget-me-not blue. her skin as white as privet, with no more than a faint rose to tinge the cheeks, and deepen to the color of pink hawthorn In the lips. She stood there listening, and heard the handle tried again. In an instant she had stepped out of her slippers and, picking them np, crossed the floor and gone through the communicating door, moving without a sound. The bedroom blinds wore down, and the curtains drawn. The only light came from the sit ting room. 8usla Van Berg slipped Into the turned-down bed and, leaning over the edge, set her slippers down be neath it Then, pulling the clothes about her, she reached out her hand and rang the bell.
