Chapter 41
THE MAJOR CALLS
AS JIM RANDAL entered the free
library la Ledllngton, a car
(topped at Miss Patsy Arbuthnot's
wicket gate and a small dapper man
pot out. He slammed the door of
the oar behind him, clicked open the
gate, marched up the path to the
front door, and delivered a smart
rat-tat.
He wore an air of military Im
patience, and after the briefest of
intervals his knock -was repeated,
land so loudly as to bring Patsy Ann
put of the scullery without waiting
to dry ber hand. Her consternation
was considerable at finding the
Chief Constable on the doorstep at
noh an hour the breakfast things
sot cleared away; her feet Patsy
was proud ot her feet In her old'
est shoes: and her hands and arms
dripping with the geranium dye In
which she had just Immersed an
aged pink sports ooat.
Her color rose. She put up a hand
to her hair, left a gruesome stain on
ber temple, and said In an agitated
jTolce,
"'Oh good morning. Major Ander-
hon I'm dyeing."
Hang it all, the girl looked as It
me had been killing a pig.
With this In the back of his mind,
he removed his hat and said, "Good
morning."
"I'm afraid I'm an early visitor,
be proceeded, "but I've come on a
matter of business. Perhaps I might
see Miss Leigh."
Patsy Indicated a ohalr, apolo
gized for the breakfast things, and
bran upstairs In despair to Inform
Caroline.
"Major Anderson ie downstairs,
and my coat's only halt done and
Just look at me!"
Caroline was dusting her dress
ing-table- She straightened up with
her back to Patsy.
"Major Andersont"
"Yes the Chief Constable on
business. What can be wantT He
asked for you. I must just get some
of this stuff off my hands. Do eome
down."
"All right," said Caroline without
moving.
She put on a little rouge and went
duwn.
Major Anderson was looking out
of the window. He might have been
admiring tho dahlias. He turned
she enma down the stair, said, "How
do you do?" and pulled a chair away
from the breakfast table for her.
"Miss Leigh," he said, "I've called
at what, I hope, Is not a very Incon
Tenlent hour to make some Inquiries
about well, about Jim Randal."
Caroline said, "Yest" Her voice
sounded deep and mournful It did
not shake; that was one comfort.
VJOW, Miss Lolgh," said Major
' Anderson "perhaps you would
n't mind telling me when you last
beard from Jim Randal."
"It was the beginning of August,'
ald Caroline.
'Can you give me the dote?"
Yes the fourth."
"Would you mind telling me what
Be said?"
"Oh no. It was Just a few lines. I
was staying with Mrs. Ogilrle at
Cralgellachle. Jim was coming there
too. He wrote to say he would take
a steamer up the coast"
"Did he say what steamer?"
"No."
"Did yon hear again?"
''No, we didn't"
Major Anderson leaned forward.
"Had you any reason to suppose
that he was on the Alice Arden?"
His small, sharp grey eyes fixed
Caroline.
"We thought he must have been,
"Why?"
"He didn't eome, and he didn't
write."
"I soe. You say he didn't write.
You're sure ot that? You're sure he
hasn't communicated with you since
the wreck ot the Alice Arden?"
"Quite sure," said Caroline. She
wondered whether this was a Ha
What was "communicating?"
"Now, Miss Leigh I believe you
wont to the Elston cottage hospital
In response to a broadcast message
stating that they had a man there
who appoarod to have lost his mem
ory, it was believed that his same
was Jim Rlddoll, or Itapdal. You
went merer"
"Yes."

"You didn't see the rnanT
"No bl wife had taken Mm
away.
"Yes, his wife and left no ad
dress."
"She said his name wai Rlddell,"
said Caroline. She hoped she did not
say It too quickly.
"You were satisfied that It eould
not have been Jim Randal?"
"Jim Isn't married eh said It
wa her husband."
"And you've heard nothing from
your cousin since then?"
The telephone bell rang 01 the
other side of the room. Caroline had
never been so glad to hear anything
In her lite. She went over to the foot
of the stair and lifted the receiver.
As she did so, Patsy's door openee
and Patsy's voice called to her.
"I expect that's Jenny to know
whether I'm coming to the treasure
hunt this evening. If It Is, tell her
can't
"I'm so sorry." said Caroline ovei
her shoulder to Major Anderson.
Then she put the receiver to her ear,
and heard Jim say,
"Caroline "
It was the most paralysing shock.
Jim telephoning to her and the
Chief Constable exactly threo yards
away, waiting tor an answer to hii
question: "And you've heard noth
ing from your cousin since then?"
PATSY was coming down the
stairs.
"I'm so sorry. Major Anderson, but
I was simply drenched with dye. Do
forgive me for being so long. Caro
line won't be a moment Jenny Ross
has got a treasure hunt this evening,
and I said perhaps I'd go, but I don't
think I will. I don't care for them
really, and after last night Wasn't
It a frightful storm? I don't think I
ever remember anything worse than
that last crack ot thunder. Caroline
was out and I was dreadfully nerv
ous." "Yes, yea," said Major Anderson
"Miss Ross' treasure hunt I hope
It will be fine. My nephew Jack Is
going, I believe. I hope there will he
no more thunder.
Caroline spoke Into the telephone.
"Yes?"
"Caroline, I've Just rung up to say
I've had to go off. You mustn't go
there again. Good-bye, doar."
"Walt," said Caroline. "Walt."
Her lips were so stiff that she could
hardly get them to move. How was
she to find words that would mean
nothing to Patsy and Major Ander
son and yet stop Jim from going
away where she couldn't find him
or get Into touch with blm?
She had to give hint Susie Van
Berg's message and to let him know
the frightful danger ha was In.
"I mustn't wait," said Jim. "Dont
worry."
"Where are you ringing from?"
As she waited tor Jim'a answer,
she beard Major Anderson say to
Patsy,
"Then you believe that your
cousin was drowned?"
" Then Jim:
"Ledllngton post office. I cant
stop."
Caroline's head cleared suddenly.
She bent down to the mouthpiece
and spoke In quite a natural voice.
"Walt a moment you don't forget
you're coming to Jenny Ross' treas
ure hunt do you? They won't begin
while It's light o we'd better meet
about nlno."
"What are you talking about?
Caroline, you've got to keep out of
this."
Caroline achieved a laugh.
"I can't stop either I've got a
visitor. I'll be at the end ot Nesta'a
road I can't remember Its name
at nine o'clock. Will that be all
right?"
"Caroline, you're not to cornel I
can't be ftiere."
"yery well. Til be there at nine.
. , . Yes, of course I'll come I
wouldn't miss It tor anything."
She hung up the receiver and
turned to face the room.
"That wasn't Jenny?" aatd Patsy.
"No," said Caroline.
Major Anderson rose to his feet
"It you have any news ot your
oousln " He stopped, said "H'm!"
and changed the construction ot his
sentence. "If your oousln should
communicate with either ot you, will
you ask him to get In touch with me
as soon as possible In his own In
terests" He checked himself for
the second time.
It was more than probable that
Jim Randal would never communi
cate with anyone again, since he had
either been drowned or else had the
very strongest motives for making
himself scarce. A bad business.
Used to be a damn nice youngster.
Well, welt
He got Into hie oar and drove
away.
