The day had turned to heat; the last of the how was none, and fierce Bun boat down upon the damp ground; far away on the hori zon heavy piled up clouds suggested thunder. Nan took a book to a scat on the shady aide of the lawn, but she did not read. The book lay on her lap, while her thoughts moved restlessly about the broken bridge. She had a shock, and It had left her shaken. Jervls had been as near death as he could ever be until death took him. She did not think of how near she had been herself. Bho thought of Jervls taking that long step forward on to the bridge, of the bridge crack ing, of the violence of Its fall, and of the roar of falling water. She opened her book at random and began to rend. The words passed over her mind like water passing over a stone; they left no mark. She shut the book, and saw Jervls crowing the lawn toward her with Bran at his heels. "Are you going to withdraw It?" , NO, "After Benham's report?" Nnn flung up her head. "Ho tried to kill you!" "That's nonsense. The bridge fell because It was rotten and I'd put off having It seen to. As a matter of fact. It was Leonard who directed my attention to it not a week ago Ben ham reminded me. I don't like Leon ard he's not a man I've ever cared about, but he's a family connection, and I think you ought to take back what you said." Nan got up. She took a step to ward him and stood still. "This Is the third time he's tried to kill you," she said. She saw hts face darken and then change. He was looking past her, and she turned Involuntarily. Janet Tetterley and Rosamund Curew wore coming across the lawn. Nan braced herself, She felt taken unawares and defenceless, but she called on her courage, and It rose. Alfred brought chairs, and pres- word, and she did not see him till dinner. ...

Rosamund sat, for the mast part, lighting one cigarette from another and talking little. Once when Nan looked up she found herself meeting Kosamuud s eyes. Behind their won dcrful bluo a (definitely h f tile something met and then Instantly cvaaea tier, nan fell a little shaken; sho did not expect Rosamund to like her. An armed neutrality was the oesi inni cow a do hoped lor between them. Tho two did not mako a long visit. As they got up to go. Tetterley mado a restless movement towards Nan. "Oh, by tho way, Basher told mo to bo suro to ask you about your peopic. Nan gazed at her. She did not repeat tho word Bashor, but sho con trlvcd to produco tho Impression of naviug (tono so. Tetterley Jerked her emaciated shoulders. "Basher's my husband. He's got it into his head that you may bo related to some Porsyths he used to Know, l told him it was moat Im probable, but he said to ask. I be lieve ho was In lovo with one of them. They used to live at a place In Connecticut, and one of the sons went off digging up Old Testament places In Chaldea. Basher says he was quite well known In his own line." "Nigel Forsyth." said Jervis. Tetterley nodded. "That's It. He wrote books about It. I don't read them myself, but Basher gloats over them, and he par ticularly Aald I wob to find out If you are related to these Connecticut Forsyths." Nan's color rose. "Yes, I am." "Not really!" Her tono made this an Impertinence. Tetterley knocked tho ash off her cigarette and said, "Basher will be thrilled." After which sho turned with one of her abrupt movements and de clared that they ought to have gone 10 minutes ago. Neither she nor Rosamund took any leave of Nan, who was left un certain of whether to cross the lawn with them or to remain where she was. Sho mado a tentative move ment to follow them, but they were already somo distance away; she would have had to run to catch them up. No one of the three looked round. She hesitated, stood looking after them for n moment, and then returned to tho tea-table with grow ing certainty that sho had done the wrong thing. A few minutes Inter sho got up and walked to tho house, her cheeks burning and her courage very low. She met Jervls In tho hall, and he looked at her with a cold anger. , "Why didn't you come to see them off?" "You went without me." "You should havo come too." Sho said, with a simplicity that' checked him. "1 am sorry. You went off so quickly at tho end, and I! thought It would look foolish If I ! ran after you." , Me puasi-d on without another' 4tddfc4j!i4&622&426 I PERSONALS liv Mr. Win.
