PAOE SIX- MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE, MTCDFOKl), OREGON". MONDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1933 Outrageous Fortune BYyOPflS: Jim BaniaT, hWnt at Hate Place, hie boyhood home, triee to recover hie memory or events in the latt veeke. He cannot believe he etole the Van Berg emeralAt and ehot Elmer Van Vera. although the evidence point that fray. A flash ol memory connecte the emeralde with a eecret com- riartment in the Blue Room. He ooke there and te horrified to fled them. Juet then he is attacked, the emeralus enatched from him, and the attacker ttieappeare. Jim tracke the man to the elation, but he aete away. Chapter 39 MI88INQ TEETH 1,'ELL, be bad lost tba train. Had ho gained anything? He had leen the man's back for a moment a he ran across the platform. The light was poor, and he certainly hadn't seen anything that he could te sure of recognizing medium height medium build some sort of cap on the head a suit, not an over coat. Ho thought there was something odd about the man's right shoulder as be' ran his shouldor, or his sleeve. He remembered his own left' hand grip, that last wrench when the man bit blm and pulled free, and the sound of tearing cloth. He passed between the posts and took the path acroas the fields again, He was angry and tired, he had bump on his head, and a bitten wrist. He bad had the emeralda In bis grasp and bad lost them. A torn coat and a Ledllngton train were all he had to go upon. They did not provide him with very much en. eouragement. He came back to Hale Place dog- tired, missing Caroline by a bare Are minutes. He bad left tbe door wide open, and he found It closed. So Car oline had come. He thought she might be there still. He called her same. When there was no reply, he went forward Into the kitchen and groped for and lit another of the can dles she had brought him. He wanted to wash the blood from hie face, and to bathe bis bitten wrist. At the scullery sink be let tbe tap run and put his head under 1L Then lie took a look at his wrist. It was a good deal bruised, but tbe skin was only broken In one place. As be held It under the tap and the smear of blood ran off, he gave a start and caught up the candle In his other band. . Tbe mark of tbe bite showed plain en both sides of tbe wrist On the under side were elx indentations, all close together. But on the top of the wrist there were only four two on one side and two cm the other, and a widish gap between. Here at last was a real clue. The man who had bitten him had lost the two front teeth In the middle o( bis upper Jaw. TF YOU cannot go back or go for- ward, you must Just make tbe best of it and go whatever way you can. Jim walked back across the Holds In tbe early bouia of the morning and took the milk train into Ledllng ton. It reached Ledllngton at ten minutes to seven, which Is a cold, uncomfortable hour to arrive any where, but especially when you have so fixed destination and very little money. He bad a cup of tea and a sand wich, and put In time In the waiting room until be could buy a paper. He chose one of the more dramatic dallies, and was Immediately con fronted by a large picture of Pack bam Hall and a photograph, de scribed as unique, of Susie Van Berg wltb the emeralds all across the front of ber dress. It wasn't a very good photograph of Susie, but It was a speaking like ness of the emeralds. Jim wondered whether the burglar would see It, and what be would do It be did see It If be bad a grain of sense, he'd chuck the chain away Into the near est ditch and make himself scarce. That was assuming that he didn't already know what be had got But didn't be? What had brought him to Hale Place twice? Would he have come back a second time, and come back to a room which appeared to contain nothing steslable It he hadnt got wind of the emeralds? The emeralds would provide the mo tive. A room containing nothing but panelling, two china candlesticks, and an Immovable tour-post bed frankly would not It became most urgently necessary to find the bur glar. Jim had a pleasant picture of him self asking the forty thousand odd adult inhabitants of Ledllngton to bow him their front teeth. There didn't seem to be any other way of Identifying the burglar. Dutch Honor I.lnrtr. THTS HAOUS, Not. . ip) Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh were guests of honor Saturday at a ban quet attended also by Dutch and Dutch Indian aviation leaders and noted pilots, among them A. H. O. Fokker, the airplane rontructor. In NOW IS THE TO BUY He left the station at halt past eight and walked In the direction of the library. It would not be open un til nine o'clock, so be walked down the High Street, through Poulter's Row, and round the Market Square. Jim was passing tbe statue in Market Square when a girl who had Just come down Market Street with a basket on her arm stopped short not a yard away and said "Oh!" in a tone of so much surprise that bis at tention was arrested. A moment before, be had not known that there was a girl there, but when she said "Ob!" he saw Mln Williams staring at him and recog nized her at once. She had on a blue serge coat and skirt and a very neat little dark blue hat which brought out the gold of her balr and the blue of her eyes. She eald "Oh!" again, and her cheeks turned bright pink. It was an embarrassing encounter. There was nothing for It but to make it ordinary as possible. He said good morning, asked ber why she was out so early, and was about to pass on, when she stopped hlra. " A RE you In a hurry?" It was said timidly, hesitatingly. Her color came and went Only a very hard hearted person could have admitted to being In a hurry. Jim said, "Not at all. "Then If we could Just walk round the square" They began to walk. When they reached the colonnade which embel lishes tbe west side of the square, however, she turned to him with a look of embarrassed appeal. "Aren't you coming back?" She was brightly flushed. The effort to speak bad brought tesrs into her eyes. Jim was rather touched. "I don't think so, Mln." "I'm not one to interf:r: ?)ut she'e very unhappy." "Nesta?" She nodded. "I don't think It's on my account" She nodded again, blinking Sway a tear. "What makes you think so?" he said. Mln's eyes reproached him. "You've not been married a month." "I'm not admitting I'm married at all." She backed away from him. "You haven't remembered?" "I haven't remembered marrying Nesta." "Don't you want to remember?" He gave a short laugh. "Not that!" "It's dreadful for her," she said In a soft, distressed way. "I'm so sorry for Nesta I don't know what to do." "What mnkes you think she minds, Mln?" 'She's so cross," said Mln In genuously. "There Isn't nothing right from morning till night" He got a kind of hard amusement out of that He wanted Mln to go on talking, so he said, "You think she really minds?" "If It was Tom" said Mln, and turned quite pale. Tom's a very lucky young man, and I expect he knows It." He wanted her to talk, because an Idea was shaping Itself In his mind. When he had wakod up In her house, it was Mln who told him he was Jim Rlddell. Now it Mln had known him really known him as Jim Rlddell, and as Nesta's husband before the wreck of tbe Alice Arden, he wouldn't have to believe ber, but he would certainly have to take het evidence very seriously into ac count Mln blushed. "Oh. I don't know about that," ah) said. t Someone had turned Into tht oolonnade from Poulter's Row. Th last thing that Jim wanted was to attract attention. He said, "We'd better walk." And then, as they moved, "Mln I don't know about anything. For Instance, I haven't any idea of whore I first met yon." Mln said "Oh!" In a startled way. "It I'm Nesta's husband, I'm yonr brother-in-law." "That's right." "Then I suppose we're old ac quaintances you've known me for a long time." If she wasn't truthful, she'd say yea to that and land wit, both foot In his trap. The gap In his memory only covered the last six weeks. On the farther side of It were the seven yoars he bad spent orcmeas. He felt an odd relief when she shook her head "No." Copyrlpst, 1911, J. B. lpMlt Co.)
