Vis, who lay asleep In his soaked
clothes on the lush ledge.

her by the wrist as she leaned for

wrist with his left hand and pulled
her down on her knees She kept her
hold of the torch.

"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.

As soon os Old Toad had finished
his first ride In his birthday auto
mobile, the Puddle Jumper Toad-

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

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

you could have drugged him but
no, you must behave like a savage
and risk killing him! I won't have

"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

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

' What was the point of Kettm3

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.

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

carried her along. It was all like a
dream. 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.

ern business because of the difficul
ty In selling stocks which might

bonate. The best known method of
removing this scum Is to wash It
with a 10 per cent solution (by vol
ume) of muriatic acid, followed with
a washing with warm water to re
move the acid solution. This should
be done on a warm, dry day when

ably be necessary to repeat this pro
