Chapter 47 A GASTLY TEA PARTY Rosamund's footsteps woke Jer- Vis, who lay asleep In his soaked clothes on the lush ledge. Me shot out a hand and caught her by the wrist as she leaned for ward and called his name. He lelt her stiffen and fall back. His grip tightened. She began to try to wrench herself free. He got her other wrist with his left hand and pulled her down on her knees She kept her hold of the torch. After a moment Rosamund laugh W. "You needn't hold me so fiercely!' Jcrvis' grasp relaxed. He drew his hands back through the bars and was humiliated to find that they were shaking. Rosamund flashed the light on his face and exclaimed "Are you all right?" That comes well from you, fcaid Jervis. ' What's the matter?" "Nothing. I'm thirsty." "Damn! said Rosamund. The torch swung round in an er ratic circle as she Jumped up. Next moment she was round the bend. He could hear her running The dusk wont black. Robert Leonard heard sounds In the kitchen and went In, to find Ro samund coming out of the pantry with eggs In one hand and a Jug of milk in the other. She set a kettle boiling on the oil stove. She turned on h m In a cold fury. "I didn't say you were to starve Him!" "Dead men don't eat." Don't push me too far!" said Rosamund. "I got him out of the house for you, and you went back on me by hitting Mm over tne neaa CUNDOWN J Ml'IN; ri'DDI.KS By Marjr Calum Hornier As soon os Old Toad had finished his first ride In his birthday auto mobile, the Puddle Jumper Toad- stor. and It had Jumped over even' puddle In turn, all the others want ed ride.'. Toodles, Mother Toad, the other Toads. Top Notch, the Rooster all liad rides except Rip. the dorr, who as a lillle too large, ond Willy JUIy, who was much too large. He felt that a quarter-of-a-cylin-car wasn't quite powerful enough to carry his fat body, or bin enough for him to manage even if li? hun;j his Ion less over the side. 'I think I'll take a ride down the road and show the Quackers of Qtinckerville my car," Old Toad said, "and also Flotilla Botilla will V'.itit to see It. She is being a little careful after lier illness and couldn't conic down lor the party." So Old Toad started of with came of the other Toads riding with him. Mr. and Mrs. Quacto and the Ducks rode In the Duck coupe, and Rip. the dog. and Willy Nllly walked. There were throe puddles to Jump before they reached the road lead ing to Flotilla Botilla's house. The Puddle Jurrpcr Toadstcr Jumped over them in fine style, but then, along a straight piece of road, the car stopped and simply would n't move. "I guess I'm earning too heavy a load," said Old Toad, and so Mother Toad and Toodles and sev eral of the oilier Toads Rot out. But stll the car wouldn't move. "We're stuck." said Old Toad with a look of misery on his Toad fare. ACROSS 1. Aitlnmtllv 4. ("Iiess piece 9. Sheep-killing p.irrut !, Limit custom 11. Huh 35. Creek letter 17. Viaduct la. Allows 21.

And I swear to you most sol emnly that if you do him any harm III give you away!" "Have it your own way," said Leonard. He shrugged his shoulders and went back to the front of the house. Jervls remained Btaring into the blackness. And then the black turn. ed grey, and Rosamund came round the bend of the passage. Slie had a blanket over her arm, and she was carrying a tray a little in front of ner, and on the tray there was candle in a guttered candlestick, a teapot, milk and sugar, half a brown loaf, a rough chunk of butter and a couple of eggs with one chipped egg cup between them. Rosamund set down the tray close to the bars and stuck the can dle on a ledge about three feet above the floor. "I've been as quick as I could.' she said in a perfectly matter -of- fact voice. Then she pushed a cup through tne bars. Jeivis hands clos ed on it hard, but a third of the tea Jeked from the cup before he got it to his lips and drank. Better have an egg next, said Rosamund. "They're very soft boiled I knew you'd hate them raw." She was cutting and butter ing a piece of brown bread. Jervls eyed the knife. It looked sharp, but ne couidut reach it. "Why doesn't Leonard come him self?" he said. 'Conscientious objections to feed ing prisoners." "Are you really married to the swine?" I am. So you sec I had to Jilt you. stupid anair wasn't 11?" ' What was the point of Kettm3 engaged to me?" I don't mind telling you the while truth." She paused and blew out a nalp rlnnri nf smoke. "I've Iwn married to Robert for ages one o! il tne lool things one does. It was lust before I came to Weare. The great idea was that I should do the angel niece at Uncle Ambrose, confess all. and get him to provide handsomely for us." She sliruirged her shoulders. "Well, of course I was a fool. Robert ; came to stay, and Uncle Ambrose j simply loathed him you remember.' it was just before you had that ac cident on Croyston rocks." . "Accident? said Jcrvis. "Wasn't it one?" j "Leonard tried to do me In." j "Who told you? said Rosamund. : Nan. She saw him. I didn't be lleve her." No you wouldn't!" said Rofa inund. There was a bitterness in her voice. "Well. Robert Had to get out of the country. He went to South America, and I didn't know whether he was dead or alive for elqht years. men he wrote to me, and last year he came back." "None of this explains whv you should have Rone out oi your way to get engaged to me. It was Robert's idea. Uncle Am brosc was dying, and Robert thought nea settle a good bit on me if he thought I was going to marry vou Like another cup of tea? And then you'd better get those wet clothes off. I've got a blanket for you to put on. ' That anger came up in Jcrvis again. He Jerked away from her. "Stay wet if you like! Now look here are you going to be sensible and pay up? "No," said Jcrvis. "Not very grateful arc you? I've really been rather nice to you much nicer than Robert and the least you can do Is to be friendly. What's he asking you now?" One hundred and fitly thou sand." Well, It'll be two hundred thou sand tomorrow and two hundred and fifty thousand the day atler. I'm holding Robert back, but I can't go on holding him back. We've been pretty good pals, and why shouldn t you setle one hundred and fifty thousand on me? We'll go off to Peru, and ynu ll he rid of ns. 9. Young rata 10. OM cloth meavura 11. Malt liquor 1.

Nan alept, and as she slept she areamea sne was in a dark place, weeping bitterly. Then there was light. It shone through her hands. and through her closed lids, and through her tears, and she looked and saw what she had seen once before In a dream. She saw wet stones, and Jcrvis lying on them, his head back and ft is eyes open as if he were dead A wave of agony broke against her heart. She cried out In her sleep and woke, shuddering from bead to root. Nan got out of bed. She had dreamed that dream twice, and the iirst time Jervis had come to her. Now she must go to him. She was quite sure of this. Her fatigue was gone, and the trouble In her mind was gone. She had gone to bed crushed down by the thought that Jervis and Rosamund were together. This nao gone too. She only knew that slie had to find Jervls. She dressed herself, putting on a thin dress and a raincoat over It. . She had unlatched the window, when a sudden thought turned her back to the writing-table. She found paper and pencil and wrote. "I'm going to look for Jervis. I'm going to Leonards house first. I am quite sure he knows where Jervis Is." Slie folded the sheet and addressed it to Ferdlnund. Then she nicked up an electric torch that was lying at the back of the table and went out of the long window. The thunder set her running. It was like a door banging behind her. Slie ran, and the wind that was blowing off the sea came up and LITTLE Oltl'HAN ANNIE o ii . i r, . i- i ' e.ini , MU.V"WTfV . f GEE, I WATEO TO 55ir55 ( 'MAOIK1S A GUV LlteY" ( OUT NO- A.

There waa the same cer tainty, the same consciousness of something with which reason had nothing to do. Nan had not thought of where she was going. She had known. She came out of the lanes and be gan to climb the road along the cliff, and here the storm caught her like a leaf. One veering gust flung her against the bank and held her there bruised and impotent. Spray drenched her. She fell twenty times. She was near the sheer drop over the cliff, again and yet again. and then, Just as she could fight no more, tne wind would lilt and carry her along. She came to Robert Leonard's front door, felt for the handle, turn ed it and knew at once that the door was fast.
