.TERRIBLE SUSPENSE
MAN knew rery well what would
happen to Jerrla Weare's prop
arty U he died without children.
Everything would go to Roiamund
Carew Rosamund Veronica Leon
ard Carew, She bad typed old Am
brose Weare'a will, and she re
membered Ita provision!. It Jerrla
wasn't married within three months
and a day of his grandfather's
death, everything went to Rosa
mund. And It Jerrla died without
leaving a child, everything went to
Rosamund.
Rosamund Veronica Leonard Ca
rew ... Nan was unshaken in her
conviction that she had heard
Robert Leonard arranging (or an
accident to bappen to Jerrls. Per
haps Rosamund didn't know. Sbe
had gone on Into the house, and
She looked, half frightened,
Robert Leonard had come back to
speak to the driver, A faint cold
shudder ran orer Nan. Rosamund
Carew couldn't know.
She began to walk, and came out
of the ferry house. What was she
going to do nextr
There wasn't anything for her to
do. The affair had passed out of
her hands. She had warned Jerrla,
and he didn't believe her. Yet a
man who has been warned can
nerer go back to where he waa
before the warning. The weight
that bad been npon her lifted.
Sbe began to think about the
evening. If aha need not be fright
ened about Jerrls, how frightfully
exalting It would be to look for
ward to dining at the Luxe with
Ferdinand Francla. How extraordi
nary to meet him after all these
years I She had always wondered
whether she would know him again.
She got into a bus and sat there
thlnklrg how strange llto was, and
how Interesting. Ten years ago
Ferdinand Francis, walking on
Croyston rocks, bad chanced on an
unconscious young man and a fran
tic child of twelve. She shut her
yes and saw the rocks, the low
grey sky, and the sea coming up,
coming nearer, with Ita frightful Ir
resistible force. It was a picture
that had nerer faded. Like the
icar on her arm. It no longer hurt.
Then Ferdinand and the high,
kind rolce with Its unfamiliar ac
cent going right on through her
balf-oonsclousness. ... She was
most terribly pleased to hare met
him again. But not for tbe world
was be ever to g'Jeai that they
were meeting again. A grown-up
Mrs. Weare, couldn't possibly evoke
any memory of the halt-drowned
child of ten year's ago.
Nan got out of tbe bus. It sbe
was going to dine at the Luxe It
was quite certain that she must buy
herself a dress for the occasion,
and sbe knew Just what dress she
waa going to buy. She had bought
tor Cynthia, and bed resisted the
temptation to buy tor herself: but
there had been one temptation
which It had been very dluicult to
resist.

Laurel, Phone 737-J,
She opened the door ol tba shop
Suppose It was gone. ... The
pleaiiant dark girl who had been
so Interested In Cynthia came for
ward.
Nan had a sudden Idea.
"May I telephoned
"Oh. certainly."
She gave Mr. Page's number, and
then bad a nervous reaction. Sup
pose Vllllers didn't answer the
telephone. She heard the click of
the receiver, and the voice ol Miss
Vllllers.
"Hello!"
Nan felt a difficulty about giving
her name. She said quickly,
' "Oh, Vllllers don't tell anyone I
rang up. I only wanted to know
If Mr. Weare had arrived."
"Just come, dear. . , , Yes, that's
all right."
"Oh, thank youl" said Nan. A
feeling of happy relief bubbled up
In her.
She rang off and turned to the
now all-absorbing question of tba
grey dress. She put It on and
looked, halt frightened, at her own
resection.
"I'm golnf to rather a special
party tonlgtt," she said to the
nice dark glrL
The sice 'lark girl smiled.
"Well, you couldn't hare any
thing that suited you better," sbe
said.
at her own reflection.
She bought the dress, and the
coat that went with It, heard the
amount of the bill without a trem
or, and wrote her first check on the
account which Mr. Page bad open
ed In her name. It was not only
the first check on the new account,
It was also the first check she had
ever written. The dress wasn't a
dress a all; It was a symbol. It
meant that she was Nan Weare,
and not Nan Forsyth any more. It
stood for a plunge Into the un
known. , At half past seren she was ready
and waiting. She knelt In front of
tbe low dressing-table to see her
head In the very small mirror, and
then mounted Insecurely upon the
bed to catch a glimpse of her silver
feet.
She looked at her watch. Twenty
to eight. Sbe made np ber mind to
sit quite still and peaceful.
Tbe church round the corner
chimed a quarter to eight. Nan
lumped up and went to the window.
A 'toy went past on a bicycle.
Three or four pedestrians followed
him. A cart went slowly and noisily
by.
It was ten minutes to eight
Nan ran down Into the ball. She
opened the door, went out on to the
step, and stood looking up and
down the street.
Something waa begtnlng to say
horrible things to ber In a whis
per. She couldn't really hoar what It
was saying: she only knew that It
was something horrible. She stood
on the step In her grey coat and
her grey dress; and suddenly a
shadow which she could not see
came over the sky and darkened
her heart.
She watched a doten cars go by.
Not one of them stopped. The thing
that waa whispering to Nan came
nearer and spoke louder, "Jerrls
they're got him. He wouldn't take
your warning." The words rang In
her ears, clanging and echoing
back upon themselres. Tbe church
clock whirred, groaned, chimed
the hour.
