TREASURE HUNTERS
"TTI, Caroline I spotted you! You
were asleep we Jolly nearly
ran you down! Whom are you with?
Have you got your clue? Because
If you hare, you might Just as well
hand It on and save us trekking up
to the Tower."
With her first words, Caroline rec
ognised Kitty Lelroy, the daughter
of the Illnton doctor. She had Just
left school, and was a lively tomboy.
"Beastly unsporting I" said a boy's
Tolce. "You've got to And your own
clue. Besides, It won't be the Tower
I said so all along."
"Of course lt' the Tower!" said
Kitty. "It Is Isn't It, Caroline? You
know Jock Anderson, don't you
Major Anderson's nephew?"
"Well, I say it Isn't the Tower-
It's too easy."
Caroline was leaning out of the
window. Her one desire was to get
rid of them. If Jenn.' Ross had flxod
on St. Leonard's Tower.as one of the
clues In her treasure hunt, about
two dozen people might be here at
any moment.
"I should hurry up If I wore you
I think you're tho first."
"Well, what about you?"
"I've given up, said Caroline. "I'm
not feeling like treasure-hunting.
I'm going borne."
They ran off, noisy and laughing.
Fifty yards up the lane Jock
Andernon gripped Kitty by the el'
bow.
"Was that Caroline Leigh?"
"Yes. Why? Have you fallen for
her In the dark? You'll be one of a
crowd If you have."
"It looks queer. Kitty, can you
keep a secret?"
"Of course I can."
"If I tell you, you swear you won't
let on?"
"Yes truly." '
"Well, did you know a man called
Jim Randal?"
"When 1 was a kid. He's Caro
line's cousin."
That's It! Well, they think he
did the Van Berg murder."
"How do you know?"
"I heard the Inspector talking to
my uncle. Now look here what's
she doing In that car? While you
were gassing, I woJt round to the
back and put my pocket torch on
the number plate, and I'm prepared
to swear that's the car that passed
us a mile out of Ledllngton, and
when It passed us, there was a man
In the car. Where's he got to?"
"Jim Randal was drowned " said
Kitty Lefroy In a slow, bewildered
Tolce.
"No, ha wasn't ha was seen and
recognised In Ledllngton this morn
ing. "O-oh!" said Kitty In a thrilling
whisper.
"And what I thought of was this.
We've got to see whom she's wait
ing tor. I've seen thla Randal fel
low's passport paotogrnph myun
cle'a got 1U I suppose you wouldn't
recognise him?"
"I might," said Kitty. "Caroline
has photographs of him all round
her room. She's potty about him
always has been."
"Good girl! Then here's our plan
of campaign. You go back and say
I've gone to get the clue by myself
say we've quarrelled. That ought
to be quite convincing. Then get her
out of the car by hook or by crook.
This Is essontlal, because I've got to
Cut It out of action."
Kitty giggled.
"I say what a lark!" she said,
and disappeared down the lane.
TiTTY stood at the comer of the
" parking-ground and choked
with laughter. She had to wait un
til she could choke It down. As soon
as she thought she was fairly safe
ihe approached Caroline's car.
"HI, Caroline! Joyous reunion!
Why haven't you got your lights
on?"
"Why have you come back?" she
aid.
"Don't you want me?" said Kitty,
and felt a giggle rise In her throat
"I've turned my ankle, so Jock sent
me back. Anyhow, we've had a sim
ply biasing row, so he can Just go
and And his beastly clue himself. I
say, who Is with you? Is It Roger,
or one of the Lester boys?"
"No," said Caroline.
"aren't you mysterious!" She
tar aa exaggerated shiver. "I sup
pose you haven't got a thermos, or
lnythlng? I'm simply froien."
"I'm afraid I haven't."

"Then let's walk up and down. I'm
frozen absolutely.
"I thought you'd sprained yow
ankle?" said Caroline.
The horrid Vl wretch giggled
agala.
"You know--wltli a burst of
frankness "I didn't really twist It
at all Jock was such a beast, I
wouldn't go with him. Come on and
walk, Caroline."
Caroline opened the door and
Jumped out.
"What rubbish yon do talk,
Klttyl"
Kitty flung a vigorous arm round
her waist and began to dance her
along.
"You said that exactly like a
school ma'm. It you're not fright
fully careful, you'll get elderly be
fore you know where you are. I do
loathe elderlles! I think people
ought to be poisoned off at twenty
Ave. Don't you?"
Caroline couldn't help laughing.
"That would only give me another
three years."
"Do you mean to say you're twest-ty-two?
How grim! And you're not
even engaged?"
"It I get out of this, we'll get mar
ried" , . . Jim's voice and Jim's
words came back to plorce her heart.
For a moment she couldn't speak.
Then she turned back towards the
car.
"I'm sorry Kitty, but I don't want
to walk any more."
Somethlpg In her voice stopped
Kitty's flow of talk. They walked
back across the darkened field. And
then, Just as they came up to the
car, someone moved between them
and the hedge.
"HI, Jock Is that you?" There
was relief In Kitty's tone.
BUT It was Jim Randal's voice
that answered.
"I'm afraid I'm not Jock."
As he spoke, he opened the car's
farther door and got in.
Caroline got in too. She switched
on the lights and leaned sideways to
say,
"Why don't you go and sit In your
car, Kitty? You'll ad It warmer."
She turned back and pressed the
starter.
Kitty stood clear. It was really the
most frightful Jest. She only wished
she could see their faces.
"What's the matter?" said Jim.
"She won't start."
"She oughtn't be so cold. Shall I
tickle the carburetor?"
"Please."
Kitty was In ecstasies. She came
nearer, and Inquired In a muffled
voice, '
"What's up?"
"It's all right she'll start now."
Caroline pressed the starter again.
It whirred, but there was no re
sponse from the engine.
Jim Randal went round to the
front of the car and began to crank
hor vigorously. The little car
bumped and rocked. The engine re
mained lifeless.
He came to the far window pres
ently. "Have you got a torch?"
"No."
"Jock has," said Kitty, leaning on
the door again. She lifted her voice
In a piercing scream. "Jock! HI I
Jo-ock!"
"Coming!" Jock Anderson's voice
came from the other side of the
hedge. He called again, and turnod
the corner, running.
Caroline's heart went as dead aa
Jemima's engine. What was behind
all this?
"HI, Jock!" said Kitty. "Caro
line's car won't start, Where's your
torch?"
A brilliant beam of light cut the
darkness and played on Jim Ran
dal's face. Caroline saw something
written on It which she did not un
derstand. Now, when everything
was going wrong he looked as she
had not seen him look this side of
seven years gay, confident, and
ready to meet the world.
'Sorry," said Jock Andorson. He
turned the beam of his torch away.
Caroline felt weak and helplesa
and she wanted to cry. She heard
an exclamation from Jim. He came
back to the window.
"Caroline, it's no (to.
"What's the matter?"
'It's the coil. We'll have to ask
for a lift."
She switched oft the light and
got out on his side. For a moment
they stood close together botwoen
the car and the hedge. In that mo
ment his hand covered hers and
pressed It hard.
She put her Hps to his ear. She
said In a soundless whisper.
'That boy Is Jock Anderson, the
Chief Constable'a nephew. There's
something wrong."
