It I'm not married by tbe fifteenth that's rrbst Rosamund's reckon ing on. I Old y:u I'd let you know why I'd coo. In a minute. I've come lo flai '.ft bow I can do ber In. Glie iV.nls she's got me. but there's nothing in ray grandfather's will about marrying ber. I've got to get married by the fifteenth but I've not got to marry Rosa mund Carow. ' Find me any girl who'll marry me at twenty-four hours' notice!" "Mr. Jorvls Mr. Jervls! A mo mint. niAiisA. You have three days your grandfather's will specifies three montns ana nay as me He Jerked round, and ehe period. We have alwaya spoken ot the period at three months, and . possibly Miss Carew" He broke oft with a cough. "No, no, one shouldn't Impute such motives not without absolute proof." Jervls Weare bad stopped pacing the room. : "I've three clear .days? Good! Jou have only to find me a wife." Mr. Page had got hit professional rolct back. - "Mr. Jervls, you must give mt time for consideration. There are other courses open to you. In tbe circumstance! I have no doubt that the court would extend the time. There It also breacb ot promise." "And make myself the laughing stock ot the whole country? I'd rather let ber get away wltb It and I'll see ber In Tibet before I do that." Hia (1st struck the table again. "Mr Jervlsl" . "She'a made a fool of me, and I'll make a fool of her. Who'll be tbe fool when ehe picks up The Times on the seventeenth, and sees that I'm married 'On the 16th In stant, at Bu Oartbolomew'a, Park avenue, Mr. Jervls Weare to Miss Blank Dash.' And that, you see. la where you come In. You've got to Oil in the blank and the dasb." At tbla point Nan became aware ot the alow, heavy beating ot her heart. It teemed to be knocking tgalnst her side. There came a drumming In ber ears, to that she eould not listen and she must, must listen. She beard Mr. Page protest. And then, so loud that.lt came through the loud beating of her heart, Jervla Wen re's voice: - FORTUU)D. Aug. S. (API Kmll 0tors, 03, rooming house proprie tor, waa in a aertoua condition In a hospital here today, and a tenant, Mrs. Mary K. Abramton. 110, wu In Jail accused of the shooting which occurred last night when the two quarreled. An argument which started over politics, gave way to a charge by Stora that Mr. Abranuon had used "ewear wor1a" over the telephone, resulted in the woman slapping the landlord and ended, wltneuea a:d. when Mra. Abramton went to her room, returned with a revolver and ahot the man. after he had ordered her to pay due rent and get out. Phoenix to Hear Rev, Peterson PHOENIX, Aug. 39. (Bp).) Sun day morning Rev. Peterson of Wruh Inaton will preach at the Preaby terlan church. It la hoped that Rev. Peterson will also be present for the evening service, but this la not def inite. Three tier body fir. S3 35. Quality and measure guaranteed, Med. Fuel Co. IH, til, "If you won't help me, I'll belp myself, II I have to pick ber up off the streets!" With those words In her ears, moving almost as If hypnotized by tbe Idea that was forming within ber sadly disturbed mind, Nan took up ber bat and left the office wltb out a word to anyone. She closed the street door behind ber and crossed tbe street. She waa not tired any more. She felt as If aha were being carried by a strong cur rent. And ber heart had stopped thumping against ber aide, wblcb was a great relief. She walked a little way, and tbon back. As she turned again, Jervla Weare was striding down the street, and, still without any sense of effort, she quickened ber pace so as not to ba left too far behind. She had no thought that It would be difficult to come to speech wltb him. She hoped that he was going home to tbe cool-looking bouse In East Seventieth street, which waa one of tbe things that would pass from him to Rosamund Carew If be did not marry wltbln the time set by bis grandfather's will. Nan lifted ber bead. Neither the house nor anything else that waa bis should pass to Rosamund Ca rew. The current that waa carry ing her along waa a current of pro tectlve lore. Ten years ago she saw hie fact out with pain. htd taved him from drowning, and be had never known It Now the was going to save him again. Ros amund shouldn't rob him: neither should he rob blmsolf. She dreamed sometimes, even after ten years, of tbe rocky pool with the salt, cold water coming In on a flood tide. She felt bit weight on her straining childish shoulders, and the sea flinging ber against Jagged rock. Then tht would wake and touch the white tear on her arm and go over the whole adven ture In her mind. Sometimes sht wondered whether sht would ever come across the little man who bad come to their rescue Ferdinand Francis. Such an extraordinary fellow. Jervls Weara walked ttralght on, giving her enough to do to keep up wltb him. Nan became more and more certain that be waa going borne. She came up with blm Jutt at ha waa crossing Into Seventieth street. The sun struck hot on tht dark rusty green of a little tree. Tbt street was ampty. She spoke hit name as her foot touched the curb: "Mr. Weare He flung round, and tht taw hit face cut with deep lines of pain and rage, hia black browt meeting over hot dark eyes. "What It It?" 1 The hot dark eyes hell not the slightest recognition. She said, "Mr Weara I'm from Mr Page's office.'' That was quite an easy thing to tay. But could she, dart the go on? Copyright.
