Outrageous Fortune
BYXOPX18: Susie rm Berg ytat
haa told Carolina Leigh that her
husband, Elmer Van Berg, and Jim
ttandal quarreled the night Elmer
uas shot, and the tcmnus Van Berg
emeralds were stolen. Susie believes
the quarrel teas over her, because
the had made bar husband jealous
ot Jim iust as a ioke. Caroline,
vho loves Jim, does not believe Jim
that Van Berg, although Jim Mm
selt cannot be sure, since his mm
orv has left him. Caroline, in the
darkness of a terrible storm, stum
bles into a room and hears the voice
ol Ke.ua Riddell. It is Kesta who
declares Jim is her husband!
Chapter 8t
' THE SEANCE
A N-OTHE-R voice answered,
Nesta's, .
"Tea,, the storm's iolna; oyer. If 11
draw down, river no.w."
'Caroline had'.nerer heard this
voice before, op any quite like It It
reminded her of a fly In treacle, ora.
voice heard In a thick muffling -fog.
It had a' peculiar 'soft toneles'aneet-
that blurred the words, and the pitch
never varied.
"Then we'd better get on with It,'
said Kesta. "That last crash put ma
Tight off but I shall have a train to
catch presently, and I've got to
know about Jim before I go."
Caroline had taken another step,
but these words halted her. She had
not meant to listen, but when Nesta
eald, "I've got to know about Jim,
she knew that she was going to lis
ten. If there was anything to know
about Jim, she was going to know
1L She heard the soft sound of some
one moving, and the gurgle of wa
ter or eoae other liquid. The smooth
toneless voice said:
"Look Into the pool."
"What shall I see? Suppose I don't
see anything." This was Nesta.
"I don't say you'll see, nor what
you'll see there's no saying. If you
don't see nothing, there's no harm
done. Look In the pool."
Silence fell on the room a ourl-
bus silence, enclosed by the sound
of restless, hurrying wind and dis
tant thunder. It was like the still
place at the center of the storm.
Caroline edged forward and looked
round the screen. ,
The room was full of a half light
except for one bright patch a light
directed downwards upon a bow of
dark blue glass which appeared to
be full ot Ink. It was about the size
of a hyacinth bowl, and It stood on a
stool with a worked cross-stitch top.
. On one side of this stool Nesta
Riddell was kneeling, and on the
other, In a low armless chair sat a
plump elderly woman. This must be
the other Caroline Caroline Bus
soil, Nesta Rlddoll's cousin, the
housekeeper at Packham HalL
She had a pale fiat face, pale and
plump, and a tight curled fringe of
faded hair controlled by a not. Her
hands lay In her lap. She leaned for
ward over them, watching Nesta.
There was no sound In the room
at all, and the sound of the wind
and the thunder was drownec In a
steady downrush of rain. Time did
not seem to pass; It stood still. Caro
line stood still, with her hand on the
edge ot the screen. She looked at
Nesta, and Nesta looked Into the
bowl of Ink.
ALT at once the silence broke.
Nesta said In her hard voice:
"I can't see anything but fog."
"Sometimes the tog oomes first,"
aflld Caroline BusselL "Maybe It'll
clear away."
"There's nothing but fogl" Nes
ta's voice awns fretful. She Jerked
back suddenly on to her heels.
'"There's nothing but tog going up
and down like wavos It makes me
giddy. I'm lot going to look any
, more, I didn't come all the way here
ito do the thing myself either."
Caroline Bussell spoks In her
smooth voice.
"Tou've not got the patience It
needs patience. And you mustn't
have your thoughts all churned up
neither you might as well go stir
ring up the mud In a pond and then
expect to see clear to the bottom."
"Do It yourself!" said Nesta sulk
lily. "That's what I cams here for, It
il could do It, I'd have done It at
home, and no need to come all this
way."
Caroline Bussell leaned down and
iook up the bowl of Ink. She set It In'
the hollow ot her lap and 'drew. the
lamp so that tho'llght-shone upon It."
All her , movements- were ., slow,
' smooth, and 'noiseless. The light
from the lamp shone down on the'
bowl ot Ink and on two pale, plump
bands and a fold of smooth brown

skirt Kesta Riddell was just a shad
ow now,
Caroline began to feel afraid. The
time seemed endless before Caroline
Bussell spoke, swaying forward a
little.
"Ask the fog Is lifting
Nesta knelt up. The movement
brought her almost to the edge ot
the llj;ht again.
"Where's Jim? That's what I want
to know. Where is he?"
Caroline Bustisll began to apeak
slowly and monotonously,
"I see the fog lifting waves
breaking a ledge on a cliff he Is
on the-ledge "
"What's the good ef that? That's
tht part I know! Come down to pres
ent day! Where Is he now?"
Carolina Bussell put np her hand.
Then she leaned over the bowl of
Ink. Her brooch caught the light

"Windows blue windows up
to the celling and down to the floor
no, that's curtain blue narrow
like silts windows like silts
narrow one, two, three, four I'm
In the middle of the room I must
turn round one, two, three, four,
five five narrow windows like
silts"
Caroline felt eold water run down
her spine. Caroline Bussell wasn't
looking Into the Ink pool now. The
bowl was In her lap, but her hands
had fallen; they hung straight down
at her aide 'Ike pale, heavy weights.
She had lifted her head, and sat stiff
ly upright with her eyes fixed on
some point above Nesta'a head. The
light that struck upwards showed
her eyes pale and set Her Hps hard
ly moved as she spoks.
"Five windows like slits
That was the Blue Room at Hale
Place. She had said blue. How did
shs know? Cold drops kept running
down Caroline's back.
"Is he there? Can yon see him?"
Nesta's voice was low but Insistent
"No not there." i
"What room Is It? Why do you see
It If ha'i tin rharV
"He has been there I can feel

no, not yet not now because of

NESTA leaned closer.
"What rnnm In It? WW a It?
Why do you keep on describing It?
Where Is It?"
Caroline Bussell sat silent
"Can't you see where It Is? Y6u
haven't told me anything at all."
Eight green stones " said
Carolina Bussell,
Nesta mads an abrupt movement
"Where are they? In that room!
Are they In that room?"
"Eight green " She swayed a
little, stiffly like a figure carved lh
wood. "Eight green atones five
windows like slits I am counting
the windows "
"You've counted them I" said Nes
ta angrily. "You don't need to start
all that agalni Get back to the
stones! Where are the eight green
stones?"
Caroline Bussell swayed from
side to side. The white ot her eyes
showed all round the . Iris. Her
voice dragged. '
'Five windows blue count
one, two, three, four, Ave hearth
door bed "
Where are the emeralds?" ssld
Nesta in a furious whisper.
Caroline Bussell gave a violent
start She said In a loud, heavy voice,
"He's alive," and the bowl of Ink
tilted orir. The Ink ran down over
her brown skirt soaking Into It The
bowl slipped off her lap and broke.
Kesta Jumped up with an angry
exclamation, but after that one vio
lent start Caroline Bussell sat quite
still, blinking her eyes. She did not
seem to notice the Ink that was
soaking Into her dress. After a mo
ment she said In a bewildered voice:
"Dld-you know that he was alive?"
Caroline took three steps back
wards and opened the door. The
dark winding stair was before her.
She went-down halt a dos'en steps
on tiptoe, holding 'her breath, and
then ran as ltithere, werewolves be-,
hind; her.
