WANT to speak to you," Nan
said to Jervis.
"Why?"
"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.

Rioting Follows
Family's Eviction
DETROIT. Mich., Aug. 2d. 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," ,
