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

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!"

faint tingo of nnl-urR4 color kt hetr

"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

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.
