Outrageous Fortune SYNOPMS: Jim Randall ri vutins hiding in Hale J'lace, his Iwvhuod home, while Caroline I. dun trie to help him untangle the dangerous situation in whifh he finds himself. Us has lost all memory ol the past six weeks, and numerous clues point toward his having stolen ths Van lierg emer alds, and having shot their owner! Caroline is startled by a telephone fall Irom dueie Van Bern asking that she go at ones to see Mrs. Van Berg. And to mat: the situation more piaucnt, it just has dawned on Jim and Carotins that they lavs each otherl Chapter Si AT PACKHAM HALL A S Caroline followed s tall young footman up the Imposing stair case of Packham Kail, she looked about her with Interest. She had not been In the house since she was a little girl The footman handed her over to Mrs. Van Berg's maid. Caroline came back to the present with a Jerk and took a good look at the " 'Intlng 'ussy." She saw a middle-sized per son of very discreet appearance with i manner nicely attuned to what might at any moment become a house of mourning. As they turned Into a long corri dor, one ol Elmer Van Berg's nurses passed them, going In the dlroctton of the stairs, a pretty, rather hard featured girl with bright blue eyes. What could Caroline lay They turned again. Louise opened a door and announced "MIbb Leigh " Caroline passed Into. the amall alt-ting-room and heard the doorioftly closed behind her. The room was very warm; that was Caroline's flrst Impression. It was like, coming Into a hot-house. There was a tiro on the hearth and a scent of pastilles In' the air. Though It was not yet six o'clock, the cold, wet daylight had been shut out - Two lamps with pale blue shades filled the room with a light that was rather like moonlight. The room was most unmistakably that of a pretty, spoilt woman. Susie Van Berg herself lay on a couch in front of the Are, banked up with cushions. There was n silver cushion under her bead, a pale pink pouffo behind her shoulders, and a three-cornered vlobt cushion Just slipping to the floor as she made a startled movement Caroline was startled too, Stio didn't know what she had expected, but not this. The setting was so elaborate, so artificial. Susie Van Berg herself looked like someone In a play. She wore one of those gar mcntB one sees in catalogues frilled, beflowered, embroidered georgotte pyjamas In pale blue shad ing to green, with a satin coat to match. But the eyna which she died on Caroline aa she made that movement to rise were the tyee of a fright ened child. A dry, hot hand clung to hers, and the voice that she had beard on the telephone said: "Caroline Leigh?" Caroline nodded. "Won't you alt down? Where will you sit? Come here beside me on the sofa so we noedn't talk loud." She slipped her feet off the couch as sbe spoke, pulling herself Into a silting position. CAROLINE took off her tweed coat and sat down. "It waa very good of you to come," said Susie Van Berg. She spoke as If the had not quite enough breath for what she wanted to say. ' Caroline saw her with compassion It was obvious that she had wept bitterly during the last few days: ber eyes had a drowned and faded GIRL SUICIDES AFTER SWEETHEARTS DEATH TACOMA. Wash., Oct. 31 (AP) Heart-broken over the recent death of her fiance, pretty Ruth Little, 30, killed .herself at her home here last tilRht, fir I tin a blunt from a shotgun NOW IS THE if Wm&H TO BUY 1 EVERYWHERE look. Her hands kept plucking at one another, and from time to time a nervour tremor shook her. Yet her nails were carefully reddened, her pale hair Immaculately sot, and her Hps made up In an artificial curve. She had a lost, tormented look. Caroline's soft heart was a good deal moved. She put her hand on the twi3tlng, plucking fingers and said: "What can I do for yo, Mrs. Van Berg?" Susie Van Berg drew her hands away. "It doesn't matter nothing mat ters. Why did you come?" "You wanted to see me." "Yes It was good of you. But It's no use nothing's any use." There was a pause while Caroline tried to think of something to say. What could she say to unhapplness like this? She didn't know. Susie Van Berg flung round with outstretched hands. "What shall I d.o If Elmer dies?"6 "Perhaps he won't" "But it he does it he dees!" SHE Jumped up with a auddan sue. prising energy, ran to the' iota and opened It, For a moment sh'e stood looking out into the corridor. The she came back, her blue wrap to such unhapplnesi? trailing, her hand a her shlo, and faint tingo of nnl-urR4 color kt hetr face. "There's, no one thoro," she Ba'ld, and sank hack Into the sofa earner again. After a moment she said; "Louise llstons I think she talks I suppose they all talk. I am afrnld to spoak, yon know. There are the doctors and the nurses, and the ser vants, and the police. I'm afraid all the time tf saying something something " "Why?" said Caroline. She looked straight Into Susie Van Berg's frightened eyes; her voice was steady and doop. Susie went on speaking In a des perate, fluttered voice. "It's awful not to have anyone to spoak to. That's why I asked you to come." "Did Jim talk to you about me?" Susie nodded. "He talked about you a lot he thought the world of you he want ed ua to pieot Mon are funny like that If two women aro fond of them, they can't see why they won't be fond of each othor, Rimer's like that too." A little animation had come to her as she talked, hut with the Inst word a nervous shudder took her again. "What Is It?" said Caroline gently. "I felt I'd go mad It I hadn't some one to apeak to. I thought you would be safe because, whatever I told you, you wouldn t want to hurt Jim." "Jim" Susie looked at her out ot panlo strlcken eyes and whispered: "I've killed Elmer." Caroline strnlghtoned herself. She said, "Nonsense!" and her own voice comforted her and made her feel sure that what Suale had Just said could not possibly be true. Susie shook hor hesd. "You don't know. lis was Jealous I made him Jealous of Jim. It was only nonsense. You said nonsense, didn't you? That was all It was. One oughtn't to he punlshod like this Just for a hit of nonsense It isn't fair. Elmer wouldn't want me to be punished like this.' "What did you do?" said Caroline.
