IMPORTANT NEWS
"IirEUE not old friends ?"
W "Oh, no," said Mln again.
"Mln when did yon meet me
Urst?"
He got a round blue stare.
"Oh, you know."
"I'm afraW I don't. Shall we turn
and walk back again? I don't sup
pose anyone knows us, but you
never can tell. And now when did
you meet me flrst?"
"Oh, but you do know that yon
can't have forgotten so soon ! " .
"So soon?"
"It's not a week," said Mln. "You
tan't have forgotten!"
Jim felt a rising xcltement.
"Not a week? Do you mean you
"You are!"
She nodded again solemnly,
"All right, we'd better take an
other turn, and you shall tell me all
about It. Who's the man?"
"I don't know It I ought."
Jim didn't know either. He only
knew that he as bound to get It
out of her It he could. He said grave
ly. "You've got to tell me."
She twisted the handles of her
basket
"I've never been a mischief
maker." "You won't be making mischief."
She gave him a frightened glance
curiously mingled with virtuous
pride.
"Throwing stones up at her win
dow, and long past midnight!" ehe
said.
"A man threw stones up at Nesta'i
window last night?"
Mln gulped and nodded asraln.
"I heard the pebbles against the
glass, and I saw him under the other
window Ncsta's. And he said her
name Just Nesta, not Mrs. Ridden
at all. And then be said, 'Come
down.' "
j
"T SEE. Then Nesla went out?"
Mln nodded.
"I hoped It was you, and that you
were making It up."

"Nesta must have known her own husbandl"
never saw me before Nesta brought 1
me from that hospital at Elston?"
"No, never." She looked up at him
with an air of childlike candor.
"Then It was Nesta who told you
I was Jim Rlddoll?"
"Out she couldn't have made a
mistake. She must hare known
her own husband "
Jim asked abruptly,
"Hadn't Tom mot me either?"
"Oh no."
So that was that Jim felt as If a
heavy paving-atone had been lifted
off his back. It It was only Nesta
wbo Identified him as Jim Rlddell,
he was prepared to lay very long
odds that be wasn't Jim Rlddell.
They reached the end ot the colon
nade once more,
"I mustn't koop you," he said.
Mln blushed again.
"Oh. won't you please come back
with me and Just see her? You don't
know what mayn t come ot It It you
go on staying away. Won't you
please come back?"
That very delicate extra sense
which sometimes warns, and some
times discerns things ot which we
have no evidence, became suddenly
active In Jim. Instead of saying
good-bye he turned and began to
walk slowly back along the colon
nade. VfIN, flushed and encouraged,
1,A moved beside him with sran'.l
quick steps. Married people oughtn't
to live soparate, mother always said.
, . , She found she was saying this
out loud:
"Mother always says"
"Well?" said Jim. That odd un
classified sense was alert and wait
lng.
"1 don't hardly like to."
"Oh come you were going to tell
me what your mother eaya. I'm sure
yon can manage that."
"Mother always says married folk
should stick close, because It they
dont "
"Yes It they dont?"
"There's room for a third botwsen
them."
Jim got a hunch.
"My dear Mln, aro )..u trying to
warn me?"
They had reached the corner
again. Mln stopped and fnoed him,
nodding.
"When did you find out that It
wasn't me?"
"When she came back. She opened
the door and came In. It was begin
ning to get light, and I could see
enough to know that It wasn't you."
"What happened?" snld Jim.
"She went to the gato ngaln, and
gave him something."
"She gave him something? You're
sure it wasn't the other way about?"
"I think It was money," said Mln.
He was wondering whether It
was the Van Berg emeralds that had
changed hands over the gate ot Hap
plcot at three o'clock In the morning.
For this was what he thought his
hunch had done for him he thought
It had brought him hot on the track
of his burglar.
The train be had missed and last
night's burglar had caught, would
have reached Ledlington in very
nice time to allow ot Nesta being
serenaded with a handful of pebbles.
Out in that cose the man who had
taken the emeralds must have known
exactly what it wns that he had
snatched in the Elue Room. And he
hadn't come there blind. He had
come there to get the emeralds.
"You heard something?"
Mln nodded.
"Nesta said, 'It's all I've got'
and something about keeping money
In the house."
"Is that all you beard?"
She shook her hoad.
"No he said at least ho said a
lot more than what I'm tolling you
but all mumbly like as It he'd got
something In his mouth."
Jim restrained himself.
"What did he say?"
"He said, 'Don't be late,'" said
Mln with a gasp.
Don't be late. . , . And he spoke aa
It he bad something In his mouth.
Perhaps it was a gap in his upper
Jaw perhaps It wasn't Jim's head
whirled with possibilities.
"Anything more?" he asked.
"He went off. and she came In."
He got no more out ot her than
that
At the lower end ot the colonnade
they parted.
He crossed the square and went
into the llhrnry.

HELD IDENTIFIED
PENDLETON, Ore., Nov. 7. (AP)
Cornor J. A. Folaom. of Umatilla
county announced today It appears
to be quite well established that
the ike le ton of a child uncovered
Saturday near Milton, was that of
Cecil Brit tain, who was four years
old when he dropped from sight
July 19, 1900.
The child was the son of R. L.
Brlttaln of Walla Walla, a photog
rapher. The boy was the' object of
one of this region's greatest search
es, and at one time more than 200
men assisted by bloodhounds, sought
trace of him. The best detectives
In the northwest were unable to
solve the mystery of the disappear
