BYKOpmSl Van Fun alum.
into Icnouledtf0 o o plot be
tween Jeberl Leonard and a.taxi
driver to run down an unnamed
perton the it ture U her husband,
Jervlt Wear. Bhe alto believe
it wot Leonard who attempted
Jervit't lift ten yearn beore.,
when the taved him. Since the
day of the reecue the hat loved
Jervit deeply, but he hat married
her only at a meant of Having tor
himteft the fortune which Aota
mund Oareui, hit lormer lancet,
tried to eecurt lor hereelt by jilt'
tng Jervit. The departure ot
Jian't titter Cynthia, with her
husband, for Awtrafa maket
ttan bitterly lonely.
ItJAN did oat know that she was
lolnf to run, but alia found ber
alt running broalbleasly, blindly
on. When at last aba atopped run
Sing, aba bad no breath In ber and
ha was abaklng trom bead to loot.
Sba bad turned a corner and was
In a street she did not know.
Bb atood still not thinking
getting back her breath. Then she
began to walk again mechanically,
her mind pulled this way and that
by her clamouring thoughts. She
et to work to quiet those thoughts,
to make them speak reasonably. It
vat very, very difficult, because, In
stead ot being calm and Judicial, she
was quivering with (ear not tor her
self, but lor Jervls.
' Robert Leonard had come out ot
the house. He bad spoken to tbe
driver ot the taxi. She tried to put
together what ha had said.
The mors Nan thought, the more
an anguished fear took hold ot ber.
for ten years she had" believed that
Robert Leonard had struck down
Jervls Wears and left him to drown
on Croyjtori rocks. Now she be
lieved tbat there was to be another
attempt upon bis Ufa. Robert Leon
ard bad said, "He Is sura to walk
he la crasy for exerclae." Shs waa
quits aurs that the "be" waa Jervls.
The driver waa to "drive dangerous
ly.'' If "he" took a tail, he waa to
do the beat hs could. He waa to risk
prison, and be waa to earn twenty
flve hundred dollars.
An accident The word eprang
Into ber mind. It seemed to make a
loud nolss there. Nan felt as It some
one bad flred a gun cIobs to ber
ear. Tbt word deafened her. An
accident to Je:.vls. Tbat was what
pier had been planning.
Aa th nolaii ot the word died
Sown, she found herself walking
quickly and thinking clearly. Tbe
train got In at four-fifteen. Sbe must
meet Jervls and tell him what she
. had heard. Shs looked at her watch,
It was fire minutes to four. It Jervls
was coming up from Wears abe
could catch him at the Twenty-third
street ferry. Of course hs might be
coming from anywhere else.
Shs reached the ferry wltb two
minutes to spare. She wasn't fright,
ned any more. Sbe would see Jer
vls, and everything would be all
right.
Ha cams striding up. Nan ran
after hln, let him clear the crowd
and touched his arm. Ha turned,
Stared, took off his hat The ferry
house became a place where any
thing might happen. It bad the true
atmosphere of romantlo adventure.
Nan was so Inspired by it that a dim-
ale came out on either side ot her
smile as ahs said,
"You didn't expect to see me?'
"Did yon expect to see met" he
asked.
Nan nodded.
"I came to meet yon."
. "Did Page tell you I was com'
log up?"
She shook her bead.
: "Nobody told me."
"Then bow did yon know?" said
Jervls Wears. Nan saw ths dark
colour rise In bis face, and won
dered what had brought It there.
Her dimples trembled away. She
aid quickly.
' "I'll tell yon bow I know. I've
got things to tell yon Important
things.
They were standing still, with a
stream ot people flowing past them.
A fat man swung a bag ot golf-clubs
within half an Inch ot Nan's ear,
and as she ducked and stepped
aside, she heard an exclamation,
and. out of the stream there burst a
(mall thin man with ginger hair
and bright twinkling eyes. Hs bad
Oladstons bag In one hand, a tin
hat-box In the other, a camera slung
trom his shoulder, and an extremely
ancient rucksack bound like a hump
npon hli back. Ha burst from the
stream, cast the hat-box clanking
upon the pavement bumped down
the Oladstons bag, and caught Jer
vls by one band and the wrist ot the
other the second band being occu
pied with bis suit-case. Ha pumped

both arms up and down with sa
thuslasm.
"Well, If this Isn't the best thins
that ever happened!"
Nan looked on breathlessly, and
saw Jervls break Into a smile.
"Francis I" be cried.
The little man puffed harder,
"Rather I This Is the best thing I've
struck since well, there Isn't any
since about It I'd rather bavs run
up against you than bavs gotten

and Ctemenceau, and Trotzky, and
the unfortunate late Czar, and Gene
Tunney, and Dean Inge, and Don
Brad man, and Al Capone; but so
far Mussolini has eluded me."
Jervls continued to smile.
"You'll collect a crowd, F.F."
"What else do I live for?" said
Mr. Francis. He turned, holding
Jervls by the ami. "I've got to apolo
gize for breaking In" His bright
brown eyes darted a question at
Nan; bis manner Intimated .plainly
tbat he awaited an Introduction.
"Let me Introduce, Mr, Ferdinand
Francis," said Jervls.
Tbe next moment Nan's hand was
being shaken by one tbat felt very
thin and very strong, and Mr. Fran
cis' high-pitched voice wss saying
earnestly.
I'm very glad to meet you but
he hasn't told me whom I'm very
glad to meet"
Before Jervls oould speak. Nan
said, .
"Mrs. Wesre."
The darting brown eyes went from
ber to Jervls and back again to ber
flushed face. Mr. Francis still had
hla left hand on Jervls' sleeve; wltb
hit right he continued to shake
Nan's band.
"If tbat Isn't great!" he said.
Mrs. Weare, I must say all over
again how pleased I am. Where can
we go and talk?"
"I've got nn appointment with my
lawyer," said Jervls. "But after"
You'll both dins with me. II
you're engaged, just telephone them
and say you're dead. What's the
good of a benellcent Invention Ilka

Just got to celebrate!" He beamed
brightly upon Nan. "If you knew
what a lot I've heard about Rosa
mund, and how badly I've wanted
to meet you "
Mr. Francis stopped there, be
cause his left hand felt ths sudden
Jerk with which Jervls drew back,
while to his right waa communicated
a tremor. Nan's hand quivered for
a moment In his and then stiffened.
Mr. Francis released It, stepped
back a pace, darted a searching
glance from a pale girl to a horri
fied young man, and exclaimed, 1
"I say! Have I dropped a brick?"
"I'm not Rosamund," Nan said

fault a bit"
Mr. Francis recovered himself, 11
took a good deal to disconcert him
and he possessed recuperative pow
ers ot the first order. He congratu
lated them In a manner quits un
tlnged with aelt-conaclousness and
added to Nan:
"Hs won't tell you how he fought
twouty brigands In Anatolia, or the
story of the one-eyed commissar
but I will some day. I've no false
modesty It doesn't pay In my pro
fession," Nan smiled at blm.
"What Is It?" shs said. "Tonr
profession, I mean."
"A Rolling Stone," said Ferdinand
Francis with a flourish.
He picked up the tin bat-box and
the Oladstons bag,
"Lord, F.F.!" said Jervls. "Where
did you got that relic? I thought ths
last Oladatone bag faded out before
the war."
"It's a good little bag." said Ferdi
nand, "and a real antique Into ths
bargain. It I was to tell you that It
had belonged to the late William
ESwart Gladstone himself what
would yon say?"
Nan saw Jervls laugh, and felt
the thrill of a young mother whose
child does something new. She
hadn't acn blm laugh before.
"What would yon say?" said Mr.
Francis.
"I should say you were a first
class liar, F.F." said Jervls.
