She must do something, put she didn't know what. She moved, and Just as It her movement had broken Into a set pause, a car drew np at the curb. JervU jumped out, and at the sight of him Nan knew how frightened be bad been. "I'm so sorry to have kept yon waiting. I'm frightfully late, but 1 bad to go back" She said something she hid no Idea of what It was and then they were In the taxi, and she was star ing out of the window and trying to quiet the beating of her heart. Just for an Instant she caught sight of the edge of a bandage where bis left cuff slipped back. She was ready to swear that It bad not been there this afternoon. She got herself quiet, and turned round on blm. What made yon so late? I thought something had happened." "Well, something did happen." Bhe took a breath. "My tie wouldn't Ue." Nan looked at the tie. tt had a Tory ordinary appearance. Her yes, suddenly bright, gave him the Me. . "What has been happening?" "Happening?" His eyes met hers with hint of distance and a bint pf mockery. "Yes." The distance went; the mockery remained. "First news bulletin, copyright (reserved t" " yM." ' WW ' "Barometric pressure ' said Jer- Ms. "Is your wrist broken?" "Certainly not Why should it be?" "Barometrlo pressure." suggested Nan. "Nothing so original." "Please tell me." "There's nothing to tell." "How did you hurt your wrist?" Jervls leaned back Into bis cor ner of the taxi. "You might say I had bumped It up against a coincidence," "What sort of coincidence?" said Nan In x rhlsper. "A very neat one," said Jervls "very neat and pat You warn me against a villain In a taxi. I pro ceed to old Page's by subway not I'm afraid, on account of the warning, but because our agreeable conversation didn't leave me tlmo to walk. I see Page. I walk un eventfully to the bouse and put on my best tall coat I then stroll along the street to the cab-rack, and Jnst as I'm turning the corner a car swerves to avoid a dog and ends me spinning. It I hadn't seen blm out ot the tall of my eye and Jumped for It I'm afraid you'd bave had to dine iefe-4-lefe with T. F." "Are you hurt?" said Nan quick ly and lrrepresslbly. "The tall coat Is a wreck. That's what made me late. I had to fall back on my reserve, which really won't stand daylight" I "Your arm" said Nan. I "A messy cut efficiently ban daged by Jenks, who would be per fectly happy It I would arrange to bave a minor accident once or twice a week to keep bis hand In. He was a great performor with a .first aid kit In the war, and com plains that he's getting rusty. He buttles rather under protest I "Did you see the driver of the ear that knocked you over?" " I did not" said Jervls. "I saw nothing except a lot of vory line coloured stars, and when I stopped eelng them, there was no driver to see." "He didn't stop?" "He did not" ( "And you call that a coinci dence!" STEELHEAD GOING FAST IS PLAINT Dr. Cha. Wlborn, sportsman ot In ternational reputation, passed through Med ford yesterday, en rout to Cali fornia. Having Just returned from a fishing trip with Sane Gray and Homer Grey, well-known writers, hie talk while here was devoted to fish ing, and he expressed great regrets regarding the wane of ateelhesd fish ing on the Rogue. Dr. Wlborn made the trip by host frrao Orinto Pass to the lower Rogue, Just sfter fishing the Umpque. and announced that ateelhesd fishing Is now better In the latter stream. He haa been visiting the Rogue regularly for many years, snd upon each trip, he stated, has noticed a depletion of steelhead. Rogue river, once the angler's para dise, he atated, la being destroyed. The Interference of commercial fish ing with game fishing, he said, ts largely responsible for the depleted runs of ateelhesd. Dr. Wlbcun Is making plans for an extensive fishing trip to New Zealand. e Je, yWsljf aoun, as sfi angler and "I think we will both call it a co incidence," eald JervH. His tone wss light, cool, and even. Nan took a breath and eat back. She felt easily, coolly, airily put in her place. Her place was a long way oft, But by the time they reached the Luxe she had herself In hand. Jervls talked pleasantly and lightly all the way; she bad only to sit In her corner and listen. Ferdinand was waiting for them In the lounge. He looked very odd In evening dress. His tall coat was not only an arcbalo model, but It looked as If he had made a habit of sleeping In It for years. His white tie was ready-tied. Beneath the electrlo light his hair was like a newly scraped carrot A pro longed band-shaking attested his enthusiasm. "This Is topping," he said, and went on saying It at Intervals aa he piloted them to the famous Oold Room. He had an eager, affectionate manner that waa pure halm to Nan. For the first time, she could seo herself as Jervls' wife. F. F.'s ad miring gate approved her. It darted from ber to Jervls, and told Jervls that he was a lucky man. It you aren't hungry, yon can go Home, im going straigm through this menu and I shan't ssy that I mightn't have a second helping here and there. I've felt hungrier, but I ve never felt greedier." He skidded off into the story ol how be once walked from Vleuna to Berlin without a cent Nan enjoyed her dinner very much. It wu rather like a dream to be wearing a pretty frock and dining at the Luxe. In a dream there la no past and no future. She gave herself np to the dream, and a reviving tide of happiness rose in ber and blotted out everythlnc except the present She watched a new Jervls. She had never seen Just that amused sparkle In his eyes or beard that warm, bantering note In his voice. She listened In a smiling silence whilst they capped stories and re minded one another ot ridiculous or strenuous adventures shared. She learned by piecing scraps of their talk together that they bad knocked about Europe and the Near East for the best part of a year In one another's company. "I was doing awful articles on Great Ken's Hals, and Brigands' Shoei that's why we had trouble In Anatolia and What Criminals Like tor Breaktatt. The biggest rip of the lot began the day on bread and milk In a bowl with pink rosebuds round the edge." "You were writing articles. And what was Jervls doing?" said Nan. "Jervls was mending a bole in his head," said Ferdinand Francis. Was It fancy. Or did he hold her eyes with his for a moment? She repeated bis words mechanically. "A hole In his head?" With a wrenching sensation she looked ' away and saw Jervls frowning. I'd had a fall," he said. "I came down on some slippery rocks and broke my bead. I was Just home from Harvard, so I got a year's holiday and went racketing round with F.F. He picked me up Just as the tide was going to finish me off, and has stuck to me like a burr ever since." Do burrs pick people up?" said Nan. "I thought tt was the other way round." She laughed to cover the faint tremor In her voice, and was aware ot Ferdinand's eyes upon her. "Mrs. Wears, don't take any notice of blm. He's rotten at tell ing a story, and I'm a whale at It Besides, he was unconscious, and If the tide had drowned blm, be wouldn't have known a thing about It His restless, curious eyes thrust questions at her: "Am 1 going to tell this story? Do yon want me to toll It? If not why not? Yes why, why, why?" The high light In the brown eyes was like a bright elusive question-mark. Jervls' voice broke In on them. "There's nothing to tell. F.F.'s a professional yarn-splnner." "Don't you want the story, Mrs Weare- exclusive tale of eye-witness? Or do you know tt alresdy?" Panlo knocked at Nan's heart (Cepyrtsftl.
