NAN HA8 A MAD IDEA
NAN beard Jervls strike the
table.
"My position oh yes, she knows
It, and I know it, and you know It.
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?
