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.

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.

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."
