Psw Seven mm I Nothing Venture Ay i Patricia Went wor Ih ' Chnpter. 6 Nan Forsyth follows Jervis who rages because hU fiancee. Rosamund Carew, has Jilted him at the last moment to cheat him of his grandfather's large fortune. Unless he marries In three days Roaomund will succeed him as . heir. Nan Is spurred on to help Jervis by the. unconfessed love she has felt for him since ns. a. child sne saved him from drown-' . ing. She also is tortured because her sister Cynthia, madly in love. Is prevented by poverty from marrying. CHAPTER 0 TWO lKmi.KMS otvi-:i "X want to speuk to you." Nun s"d to Jervis. , -' "Why?" ' "I am from Mr. Page's office. It's a business matter." He paused, detached, not really aware- of her. "You are golnpr home. Will you let me speak to you there?' He stared for a moment longer. Then he said. , "Oh, certainly." They went on together.

Two windows framed in dark velvet our tains looked out upon a fair-sized garden bordered with trees. Nan passed Into this room and felt Us atmosphere close about her. The current had brought her here. Now It ebbed away from her. She was Nan Forsyth facing something that was going to declCe all the rest of her life, and all the rest of Jervis Weare's life. For a moment she felt fear as she had never felt it before. And then courage rose in her like a flood. He turned from the door and said, "Do you mind saying what you want? I'm rather busy." "Yes," said Nan. "I'm in Mr. Page's office. When you came In this afternoon you slummed the c'oor. It didn't lotch. I was in the office. I heard what you said to Mr. Page." "You listened. Well?" Hia look hurt her- beyond bearing. But Jervis Weare did not see her wince. Ills anger turned a cold edge upon this confessed eavesdropper. i "Well?" he repeated. "I heard what you said to Mr. Pace." she told him again. Jcrvlo walked to the table and i stood there. He must have been re culling his own words, for he was looking at her, really looking, for the i first time. I He saw a girl In a neat grey dress and a close black hat, a girl who held herself very straight and looked at him with steady grey eyes. er iace was pale, her lips pressed firmly to gether. She held her head high. "You said that you must be mar ried by the lGth," she wont on. "You asked him to find a girl who would marry you at 24 hours notice." So. that s it? You ve got a nerve, haven't you?" Nan said, "Yes," quite soberly. He burst out laughing. "Well, why not? I haven't time to pick and choose. Since you over heard what we were saying you know that. So If you're really offering to step into the nreacn per imps you u begin by giving me your name "Nan Forsyth," said Nan. He took his hand off the table and swung a chair round. "You'd better sit down." He came round, took the wrltlng- chnir. picked up a pen and filled it, "Did you say Anne rorsytnr Nan came forward. Her legs felt as if they belonged to someone else. She sat down a little Btiffly. She was being Interviewed for the situation of Jervis Weare's wife. It was like something in a dream. But there was Jervis, looking at her and re peating. "Anne Forsyth?" "No just Nan. I was christened Nan." He wrote "Nan Forsyth," and with out looking up asked her age, "Twenty -two." "Parents?" "Dead." Any near relations?" A sister.' She thought suddenly and warmly of Cynthia, and the dream shook h little. "Older or younger?" , "Younger " She paused, then added, "Nineteen." , . Jervis had stopped writing. His pen dug holes In the paper. He didn't really want to know the answers to any of these questions. She had a well-bred voice. If Bhe was in f ago s , office, she was likely to be a re spectable girl. ... I Why are you doing this? For money?" There was only a moments hesi tation before she said. "Yes. I'm earning my living. I m doing It because I have to." Yes?" said Jervis. If I do this, I shall lose my job. and I've got someone depending on me." She felt better when she had said that. But Jervis was staring at her. "Depending?" 'Yes my sister. X couldn't Just tuko this on and leave her." He threw himself back In his chair. "Well, how much?" "Ten thousand dollars," sold Nan and set her teeth. Jtrvis Wears regarded her with frank admiration. "You certainly havo a nerve!" he said. 'It's because of Cynthia. I can al ways get a Job." And she can t? Nun shook her head. She looked young, mouruful and serious. The contrast between her appearance and what Jervis Weare had just described as her nerve was so extreme as to bo ludicrous. Jervis pushed back his chair and got up. "So you propose to turn ten thou sand dollars over to Cynthia? And how much do you want for yourself?" "I don't want anything I can get a Job." "And why should I give Cynthia ten thousand dollars?" Nan looked up at him with a per fectly steady gaze. "You won't give It to Cynthia you'll give It to me Mr. Weare left you a million dollars. The ten thou sand dollars will be my commission." Jervis Weare walked across the room and back again. "All right." he said, "you can have your commission.' (Copyright, 1833.
