F." 1 Kan did not know that she was going to run, but she found herself running breathlessly, blindly on.i When at last she stopped running, she had no breath In tier and she wna shaking Jrpro head to foot. 6 he had turned a corner and was In a street she did not know. She stood still npt thinking get ting back her breath. Then Bhe be gan to walk again mechanically, her mind pulled tills way and that by her clamouring thoughts. Bhe set to work to quiet these thoughts, to make them speak reasonably. It was very, very difficult, because, instead of being calm and, Judicial, she was quivering with 'fear, not for herself, but for Jervls. Robert Leonard had come out of the house. He had spoken to the driver of the tajci. She tried Jto put together what he had said. The more Nan thought, the more an anguished fear took hold of her. For 10 years she had believed that Robert Leonard had struck down Jer vls Weare and left him to drown on Croyston rocks. Now she believed that there was to .be another attempt upon his life. Robert Leonard had said. "Me Is sure to walk he Is crazy for exercise." Bhe was quite sure that the "he" was Jervls. The driver was to "drive dangerously." If "he" took a taxi, ho was to do the best he could. He was to risk prison, and ho was to earn twenty -five hundred dollars. An accident. The word sprang Into her mind. It seemed to make a loud noise there. Nan felt as if someone had fired a gun close to her ear. The word deafened her. An accident to Jervls. That was what they had been planning. As the noise of the word died down, he found herself walking quickly and thinking clearly. The train got in at 4:16. She must meet Jervls and tell him what she had heard. She looked at hex watch. It was five minutes to four. If Jervls was com ing up from Weare she could catch him at the Twenty-third street ferry. Of course he might be coming from anywhere else. She reached the ferry with two minutes to spare. Sho wasn't fright ened any more. She would see Jer vlfs, and everything would be all right. Ho came striding up. Nan ran aft er him, let him clear the crowd, and touched his arm. He turned, stared, took off his hat. The ferry house becamo a place where anything might happen. It had the true at mosphere of romantic adventure. Nan was so Inspired by it that a dimple came out on cither side of her smils as she said, "You didn't expect to see me?" "Did you expect to sec me?" he asked. tfnv nodded. "I came to meet you." "Did Page tell you I was coming up?" Sho shook her head. "Nobody told me." "Then how did you know?" said Jervis Weare. Nan saw the dark color rise in his face, and wondered what had brought it there. Her dimples trembled away. She said quickly, "t'l tell you how I know. I've got things to tell you important things." They wero standing still, with a stream of people flowing past them. A fpt man swung a bag of golf clubs within half an inch of Nan's ear, and as she ducked and stepped aside.

P7 U0U Handled By Broomfield & Richardson she heard on exclamation, &4d out of the stream there burst J small thin man with ginger hair ana bright twinkling eyes. X;He had a Gladstone bg in one hand, a tin hat-box In tl.e other, a camera slung from his shoulder, and an extremely ancient rucksack bound like a hump upon his back. He buret from the stream, cost the hat-box clanking upon the pavement, bumped down the Gladstone bag, and vcaught Jer vls by one hand and the'wrlst of the other the second hand -being occu pied with his suitcase. .He pumped both arms up and down-with en thusiasm. iSV V "Well, If this isn't the pest tlng that ever -happened)"-- ,V .. Nan looked on breathlessly, and saw Jervls break intb a smile.-- "Pranclst" he cried. -" -- . The little man puffed- harder. "Ratherl. This is tho-best thing I've struck since well, there Isn't any since about it. I'd rather have run up against you than have gotten an invitation to tea with Mussolini with carte blanche to print every word he said and photograph him while he snld It and I can't say more than that. So far he's eluded me. I've in terviewed President Hoover, and Ramsay MacDonald, and Clemenccau, and Trotzky, and the unfortunate late czar, and Gene Tunney, and Dean Inge, and Don Bradman and Al Cap one; but so far MuBsollnl has eluded me." Jervls continued to smile. : "You'll collect a crowd, F. P." "What else do I live for?" said Mr. Francis. He turned, holding Jervls by the arm. "I've got to apologize for breaking In " HIb bright brown eyes darted a question at Nan;i his manner intimated plainly , that he awaited an introduction. "Let me Introduce, Mr. Ferdinand Francis," said Jervls. The next moment Nan's hand was being Bhaken by one that felt very thin and very strong, and Mr. Fran cis high-pitched voice was saying earnestly, "I'm very glad to meet you but he hasn't told me whom I'm very glad to meet." Before Jervls could speak, Nan said, "Mrs. Weare." The darting brown eyes went from her to Jervis and back again to hex flushed face. Mr. Francis still had his left hand on Jervls' sleeve: with his right he continued to shake Nan's nana. - , . "If that Isn't great!" he Bald. "Mrs. Weare. I must say all over again how pleased I am.. Where can we go and talk?" "I've got an appointment with my lawyer," said Jervls. "But after " "You'll both dine with me. If you're engaged, Just telephone them and say you're dead. What's the good of a beneficent invention like the telephone if It can't get you out of an engagement? We'll dine at the Luxe in our gladdest rags. I've a dinner Jacket in my trunk I've tails somewhere I'll go the whole way anc buy a white tie. We've Just got tc celebrate!" He beamed brightly upon Nan. "If you knew what a lot I've heard about Rosamund, and how badly I've wanted to meet you " Mr. Francis stopped there,, because with his left hand felt the' sudden Jerk' with which Jervls drew back, while to his right was communicated a tremor. Nan's hand quivered for a moment in his and then wftened. Mr. Francis released It, stepped back a pace, darted a searching glance from a pale girl to a horrl' fled young man, and exclaimed, Logs tt. "I sayt Have I cropped a brick?" voters, according to the county's ro "I'm riot Rosamund." Nan said port to the secretary of state Mon- qulto simply. "My name's Nan, Please don't mind It wasn't your fault a Mr. Francis recovered himself. It took a good deal to disconcert him. I and ho possessed recuperative pow-1 ere of the first order. Ho combat- ulated them in a manner quite tin- tinged with self -consciousness and added to -Nan: 1 "He won't tell you how he fought 20 brigands in Anatolia, or the story of the one-eyed commissar but I will somo doy. I've no false modesty it doesn't pay in my profession." f Nan smileu at him. . "What is it?" she' said. "Your pro- fesslon. I mean." A Rolling Stone." said Ferdinand Francis with a flourish, Ho picked up the tin hat-box and the Gladstone bag. , "Lord, F. F.I" said Jervls. "Where did you get that relic?
