"I am from Mr. Page's office. It's a business matter." He paused, detached, not really aware of her. "Toa are going home. Will yon let me speak to you there?" He stared for a moment longer. Then he said, "Oh, certainly." They went on together. The house rose up before Nan, heavy and square and grey. Jervis used a latchkey, and they went through the hall Into a room at the back of the house a man's room, littered With a man's belongings, littered also with what were obviously wedding presents. Two windows framed In dark velvet curtains looked out upon "Ten thousand dollars," said a falr-slied garden bordered with trees. Nan passed Into this room and felt its atmosphere close about her. The current had brought her here. Now It ebbed away from her. She was Nan Forsyth facing something that was going to decide all the rest of her life, and all the rest of Jervis Weare's life. For a moment she felt fear as she had never felt It before. And then courage rose In her like a Hood. Ha turned from the door and said; "Do you mind aaylng what you want? I'm rather busy." "Yes," said Nan. , "I'm In Mr. Page's office. Wben you came tn this afternoon yon lammed the door. It didn't latch. I waa In the office. I beard what you aid to Mr. Page." "You listened. Well?" His look hurt her beyond bearing. But Jervla Weare did not see her wince. His anger turned a cold dge upon this contossed eavesdrop per. "Well?" he ropoated. "I heard what you said to Mr. Page." she told him again. " Jervis walked to the table and atood thore. He must have been recalling his own words, for he was looking at her, really looking, for the first time. He saw a girl In a neat grey dress and a close black bat, a girl who held herself very straight tnd looked at him with steady grey eyes. Her (ace was pale, her Hps pressed firm ly together. She held her head high "You said that you must be mar rled by tbe sixteenth." she went on. "You asked him to find a girl who would marry you at 24 hours' no tice." "So that's It? You've got a nerve haven t you?" Nan said. "Yes," quite soberly. He burst out laugblng. "Well, why not? I haven't time to pick and choose. Since you over heard what we were saying you know that. So If you're really offer ing to step Into the breach perhaps you'll begin by giving me your name. OK, MONTE, Cal.. Aug. it.

I AP) One man was shot and slightly In jured and elaht ohera Buffered cuts and bead . Injuries this afternoon aa too policemen were called to halt a riot that followed an attempt to evict a family from their home. Twenty pnt persons wer arrested. "Nan Forsyth," said Nan. He took bis hand off the table and ?7nng a chair round. "You'd better alt down." He came round, took the writing chair, picked up a pen and Oiled It "Did you say Ante Foriytb?" Nan came forward. Her legs fell as If they belonged to someone else. She sat down a little stiffly. She was being Interviewed tor tbe situa tion of Jervis Weare's wife. It was like something in a dream. Bui there was Jervis, looking at her and repeating. "Anne Forsyth?" "No lust Nan. I was christened Nan." He wrote "Nan Forsyth," and without looking up asked her age. "Twenty-two." , "Parents?" "Dead." "Any near relations?" "A sister." She thought suddenly and warmly of Cynthia, and th dream shook a little. "Older or younger?" "Younger" She paused, then added, "Nineteen." Jervis had stopped writing. His pen dug holes In the paper. He didn't really want to know the an swers to any of these questions. She bad a well-bred voice. If she was In Page's office, she was likely to be a respectable girl. ... Nan, and set her, teeth. "Why are you doing this? For money?" There was only a moment's heal tatlon before she said, "Yes. I'm earning my living. I'm doing It because I have to." "Yes?" -said Jervis. "If I do this, I shall lose my Job, and I've got someone depending on me." , She felt better when she had said that But Jervis was staring at hen "Depending?" "Yes my sister. I couldn't Jusl take this on and leave her." He threw himself back In hti chair. "Well, how much?" "Ten thousand dollars," said Nan and set her teeth. Jorvls Weare regarded her with frank admiration. "You certainly have a nerve!" he said. "It's because of Cynthia. I can always get a Job." "And she can't?" Nan shook her head. She looked young, mournful and serious. The contrast between her appearance and what Jervis Weare bad Just de scribed as her nerve was so extreme as to be ludicrous. Jervis pushed back his chair and got up, . "So you. propose to turn ten thou sand dollars over to Cyntbla? And how much do you want for youp aelf?' "I don't want anything I can gel a Job." "And why should 1 give Cynthia ten thoussnd dollars?" Nan looked up at him with a per fectly steady gnte. , "You won't give It to Cynthia you'll give it to me. Mr. Weare left you a million dollars. The ten thou sand dollars will be my commis sion." Jervis Weare walked across ths room and back again. "All right," b laid, "you cas have your commission," , Copyright, Ills, MrvinttlU A photograph calls up d and dlatitrblna msmorlts In Nan's mind, tomorrow. CHICKEN SIEALERS DENTON, Md., Aug. SO.
