replace the receiver, when quick and warm there came to his ear a rush of auite unintelligible words. He wasn't to forget that he was coming to Jenny Ross' treasure hunt. They wouldn't begin while it was light "so we'd better meet about nine." He heard her laugh and say, "I can't stop either I've got a visitor. I'll be at the end of Nesta's road I can't remember its name at nine o'clock. Will that be all right?" He left the post office, reached the High street by way of Market street, and walked out to Ledling ton End.

It was all very well to say that he had got to keep an eye on Nesta Riddell, but how was it going to be done? Sandringham Drive offered about as much cover as a parade ground. There was the Kosy Kor ner Kafe at the near end of the drive. But the bother was that the beastly road had two ends. If he waited for Nesta at one end, she'd be bound to go out by the other. It all depended where she was going to meet the fellow.

If it was In Ledlington, she would pass the Kosy Korner Kafe, but if it was somewhere out in the country, she would come out on to the main road at the lower end of Sandringham Drive. He passed the War Memorial, and presently the Kosy Korner Kafe. If there was a point on the main road from which he could see both ends of Sandringham Drive, things were going to be a little easier. The driv wasn't very long, so he had hopes. Another minute more and the hopes were Justified.

For a distance of five or six yards it was possible to see both turnings. These five or six yards covered the lower gate and part of the shrubbery of one of those large out of date houses which have been abandoned before the encroaching tide of bungalows and villas. The drive was green with moss, the garden a mere tangle. Between it and the road ran a low brick wall topped by an unclipped hedge. The whole place bad a desolate, un visited look.

Jim pushed open the gate with some difficulty and walked in. Nothing could have suited him better. There was half a dozen places where laurels, laurustinus, lilac and yew crowded up to the unkempt hedge, and where he could stand and see without being seen. He had not to wait very long. In about half an hour Nesta Riddell walked briskly past th Kosy Korner and proceeded in tti2 Ledlington direction.

He had only to keep one turning behind her and follow on. In point of fact she never looked round, but walked briskly into the town, where she entered the London County and Westminster Bank. Jim went into a tobacco shop on we mean. the other side of the High street, bought a paper, and unfolding It, kept a watch upon the door of the bank. After about five minutes Nesta came out.

She stood for an Instant on the pavement, and then gave him the fright of his life by crossing the road. A newspaper held wide open makes a good screen. There was a moment's suspense, and then he saw from under the lower edge of his paper six inches of bright blue skirt and eight or nine Inches of rather light stocking ending in flimsy Imitation leather shoe go up nitely under suspicion of attempted murder, and beyond all question he had been in possession of stolen property. He didn't believe that he was Nesta Riddell's husband; he believed it less than ever since his talk with Min. But he could not I prove that he was not Jim Riddell unless and until the gap in his memory closed up and gave him back the lost weeks between the first of July and the fifteenth of August.

He might during those weeks have masqueraded as Jim Riddell, and, as Jin Riddell, have married Nesta but he didn't believe it. on Nesta's word, and, quite frankly, he didn't think Nesta's word was worth a tinker's damn. On the other hand, the Van Berg affair in some sort corroborated Nesta's statements. That didn't depend on Nesta's word. He himself remembered drinking with Elmer on the night that he was shot.

He remembered seeing the emeralds in Elmer's hand. And. most damning of all, he had found them in his own house In a secret hiding place known only to Caroline and himself. Men had been hanged on slighter evidence than this. Caroline mustn't come within a thousand miles of it.

He went on thinking about Caroline. (Cooyrisht. 1933. J. B.

Is making inquiries of Caroline about Jim KM nan, oer eousm wno nas kktw tangled in the mystery of the Van Berg emeralds and the shooting of their own er. Just as Caroline teiis tne consume she has heard nothing from Jim. Jim telephones. She make him understand she will meet him that night without "tipping off" Major Anderson. Caroline knows Jim had nothing to do with tak inc the emeralds, trot until his memory returns, proving it is a difficult matter.

Chapter 42 TRAILING NESTA Jim Randal went into the library, but he did not stay there long. He did not even ask for the file which he had come there to look at. The past and what had happened in the past was nothing like so important as the present and what was likely to happen in the immediate future. He sat down on one of the sun upright chains, shirt his eyes, and went over what Min had told him. Nesta had come down in the small hours at, the summons of a handful of gravel thrown up against her window.

She naa Deen away the two worn steps of the bake shop next door. He was so near that he could hear her rather strident voice asking for milk chocolate. He moved farther down the street and presently she came out and walked back along the way by which she had come, and at the same brisk pace. He watched Nesta disappear round the curve of Sand ringham Drive and went back to his shrubbery. The day passed with Intolerable slowness.

It did not rain, but ffle hung low and the air was full of damp. In his own mind he felt quite sure that Nesta would not meet the man until it was dark. He could have wished that they were in December instead of August, for even on a gloomy day like this it would not be dark until after nine. And Caroline was coming here at nine o'clock. He had tried to stop her, and she wouldn't be stopped.

He fell into thoughts' of Caroline which were angry, impatient, ten der, and passionately self accusing. iol Tie naa no oudukss 10 ici ior someunng over her get mixed up in this affair at come back, and then mediately fn he were not Nesta Md gone oui again as deU's husband, he was verv defi bringing with her something, presumably money. Min had then heard her say "Its all I've got." and something about keeping money in the house; after which the man said a lot of things she didn't hear, and one that she did. She heard him say. "Don't be late." What he made of it was this Nesta had given the fellow all the money she'd got in the house, and was under an agreement to meet him next day with more.

If he was right, Nesta would be drawing money out of the bank some time during the day. Some time after that, she would meet the fellow. And when that meeting took place, it jad Williams would be areatlv to his own advan iage if he could contrive to make in unobstrusive third. He had to keep an eye on Nesta Riddell's movements. Meanwhile tie was going to risk a telepTSone sail to Caroline.

From now on she had got to keep right out of the business. She had got to be told that, and that re had left Hale Place. He crossed over to the north side of the square, went into the post office and rang up Hazelbury West. When Caroline's voice came' to him after that long strange pause, his heart jumped. He sa'd what he had come there to say, and heard Caroline say "Wait." She said it twice.

What was the matter? Was It because he had said good bye that her voice was stiff and dead? He said, "I mustn't wait. Don't worry." He was a fool to have said that, because the thought of Caroline worrying filled him with an insen sate desire to zo to her. "Where are you ringing up from?" He told her. He said. "I can't StOD." His hand made a movement to PIECES OF EIGHT YESTERDAY afternoon, Buddy Armstrong, son of Mr.

Rice, Ar landa Mertz, Charles P. Dipple and Charles A. Derr. Their terms of service range from 26 to 31 years. Charles R.

Hoffman, superintend ent of mails, acted as toastmaster, and the dinner was attended by twenty eight postal employes. The three former postmasters in attendance were George, F. Stack pole, who took office in 1899; F. Eckbert, Jr and Allen A. Orr.

W. Bruce Van Zandt, a retired ru ral mail carrier of the Lewistown office, was also a guest at the din ner, it is said to have been the only gathering of its kind held here which was attended by all the living former postmasters. Of the three retiring postal employes, Harry E. Rice has the longest term of continuous service, having entered the service October 16, 1902, as an auxiliary or substitute city letter carrier. February 13, 1905, he was made a regular carrier and has served in that capacity ever since.

Arlanda Mertz, assistant postmaster, has the next longest term of service of the four who were retired, having entered the service as a general delivery window clerk July 1, 1903, serving in that position until July 1, 1926, when he was made assistant postmaster.

Dipple became a postal employe July 1, 1902, and later was out of the service for three years but returned as a clerk and was later made a city carrier and has served in that capacity until the present.
