Chapter 6
MYSTERY FROM THE PAST
AT nine o'clock on the morning
of August 16 Jervli Weare
m married to Nan Forsyth In St
Bartholomew's church. Outside It
Is a peculiarly ugly church. And
when Nan passed from the bright
morning sunshine Into the dusk of
the Interior she found It studied of
musty pew cushions and varnish
yerj depressing smell.
Mr. Page gave her away disap
provingly, and he and the sexton
wtre the only witnesses. She
looked once at Jorvls, and saw htm
as a tall, aloof shadow. She could
guess at the frown she could not
see. When he took her hand and
put the ring on It, his was hot and
dry. He rammed the ring down,
and there It was.
They got up from their knees
and went Into the vestry. She
Jervia Weare was married to Nan
Bartholomew's. 1
wrote herself tor the last time Nan
Forsyth.
"And now your father's name
here, Mrs. Weare."
It was the two things coming to
gether that took her off her balance.
Mrs. Weare and her father dead
In a far country, not knowing.
Tears stung In ber eyes; the regis
ter disappeared In a mist. She
closed ber eyes for a moment hard,
then, opening tbem, bent and wrote,
"Nigel Forsyth," and stood aside
while Mr. Page and the sexton
signed.
They taxied to the bouse in si
lence. Jervls' room was not dark Ilka
the church, and the two windows
were open to the garden. Nan stood
by the windows so as to get as near
to the garden as possible.
"What did you want to talk to me
about?" she said.
"I wsnted to tell you that Mr.
Page Is seeing about that ten thou
sand dollars. Have you a banking
account?"
Ha saw her smile for the first
time.
"Ob, no," she said.
"You will have to have one.
You'd better see Mr. Page about It,
and when you have opened the ao
count he will pay the money In.
Then, as regards yourself, I have
signed a settlement whjch gives you
five thousand a year."
The colour flamed Into Nan's face.
"I don't want you to. I can get a
Job."
Mr. Jervls Weare assumed a lord
ly tone.
"As to that, you can please your
self. Twelve hundred and fifty dol
lars a quarter will be paid Into your
account"
"I can't take It," she said In a
voice whose distress pierced Jervls
Weare's self-absorption.
He reacted with a feeling of
acuta annoyance.
"Do yon mind ecnslderlng my
position for a moment? Do you
really expect me to marry a girl
ind leave ber penniless? Why should
you have married me It you were
going to take up a position like
this?"
Whyl Nan could have laughed
and wept at the question. If they
had been In the Palace ot Truth,
B! WILSON'S WIFE
Hrs. Vera Wilson, who ten days
ago, tiled a complaint against ,ncr
husband. Clifford Wilson, allying a
statutory offense. ' failed to appear
when the case was called in Ashland
Juatloe court Friday, and the com
plaint was dismissed. The Joint
complaint against Mrs. Llla Payne of
Roseville, Calif., alleged companion
of Wilson, will be automatically dis
missed. Wilson was brought beck from Au
burn, Calif., laat Monday by the
sheriffs office.
At the hearing held before Jiistlre
L. A. Roberta at Ashland, a bitter
exchange of words with threats ot I
she would have said, "Oh, my dear!
Why? To save yon from being
robbed. To save you from the sort
of girl you might have married. To
save you from picking someone up
off the streets." But since these
were things to be bidden at any
coat, she frowned, looked at him
gravely, and said,
"I hadn't thought of It like that."
Her heart said, "Ob, my dear!"
Her lips spoke quickly,
"I quite see your point of view;
but it Is too much."
The hurt, angry child disap
peared. A rather lofty stranger
said In tones of Icy politeness,
"The deed Is already signed. I
would prefer not to discuss the
matter any more."
Nan gave a little nod.
"Very well, she said, "Good-bye."
He said "Good-bye" . with an air
of relief. Then, with ber hand still
In his, she looked past blm and saw
the photograph. It nung with other
groups above the mantelshelf. Nan
did not see the other groups at all.
She saw a lawn set about with
trees; an old man In a chair, a
woman standing beside him, and
i third figure a man walking across
the lawn, his back to the camera..
It was at the third figure that Nan
stared.
"Who's that?" she said.
"His nsme Is Leonard Robert
Forsyth, his 110,000 bride, In St,
Leonard a connection ot my
grandfather's. I don't think you
are very likely to have met him."
"You are thinking It's very strange
that I should ask questions about
Mr. Leonard, but I've got a reason.
Will you please toll me where he
has been for the last ten years?"
"Why do you want to know?"
"Because I think I saw him once
ten years ago."
"Why, the photograph doesn't
even show his facet"
Nan wasn't remembering a face;
she was remembering Just that
square thickset figure, and Just that
turn ot the head.
"Toll me." she said.
"What do you want to know? Ton
years ago ten years ago . , . well,
exactly ten years ago he was up
on visit from Latin America stay
ing with my grandfather. I remem
ber that because I know be was
staying In the house when I nearly
drowned mysolt out on Croyston
rocks."
Nan had turned very pale.
"Mr. Leonard fonnd you?"
"Oh, no. It was a British follow
who was taking photographs."
Ferdinand Francis rushed Into
Nan's mind Important, efficient,
and Immensoly talkative. And then
he was gone again, and sbo saw the
thickset figure of a man coming
from behind the Croyston rocks and
walking away towards the head
land. He was walking away from
her, and he was walking away from
Jervls, who lay halt In and halt
out ot the pool with a hole In the
back of his head and the tide com
ing tip. Sbe said b.'eathlessly,
"I want to know about Mr. Leon
ard. What happened to him after
that?"
"He weat baok to Latin Amer
ica?" "Where la be now?"
"Down at Croyston. Re's got a
chicken farm."
"Thank you," said Nan.
She put out her hand again.
"Goodbye," she said. She had
wanted to add something but
what?
