Chapter II
A TRAGEDY IMPENDS
rB day cams up In sea fog
which lifted before eleven. It
ieft the grass grey with dew and
verr tree and flower hung with
Unr brilliant drops which made
rainbows In tbe tun.
Nan had slept late. She came
lownstalrs to And that Jervis bad
breakfasted and gone out. When
tbe fog lifted, she took a book out
on to the terrace and sat on the
low balustrade looking over to the
ravine. The grey stone of the ter
race was dry already, but the earth
In tbe formal beds was dark.
Nan looked up at ber window and
wondered It she bsd really stood
there in tbe dead of night and seen
Robert Leonard by a flash of light
ning. A little shiver went over ber.
She bad only to shut ber eyes, and
she could see blm against tbe pale
violet flare. She looked down at
Nan found herself on
Bran lying on the stone at her
feet with his nose between his
paws.
Jnrvls hailed her from under the
wall.
'Would you Ilk to come and see
the waterfall?"
She looked over the balustrade
and saw him below her, barehead
ed, looking up. A drop ot three feet
on. the terrace side was a good ten
to the path below. Jervis was gay
and smiling. He had very much
tbe look of being at home, He wore
an old brown sbootlng-coat and
knickerbockers. Bran got up, put
his tor feet on the balustrade, and
looked over at Mm, pricking his
ears. His nose quivered slightly. He
made no sound.
"I'd love to come," aald Nan.
"You'll want thick shoes every
thing's sopplne"
"These are the thickest I'ra got
I don't mind getting wet."
She ran down the steps In the
middle of the terrace, and he met
her, frowning.
"You'll get drenched. Why on
earth don't women have decent
shoes T You'll get absolutely
soaked." ,
"I don't mind. I haven't got
country shoes, because I don't live
in the country."
"You'll have to get some."
Her heart jumped. Would she?
What did he mean? Did he mean
anything? Did he want her to live
here? And It he did want her to,
could she do it? She didn't know.
She looked up ut blm with a faint
mile which 'became suddenly trem
ulous. She felt like a child at a
party where the other children
were playing a game she did not
know. She did not know Jervis'
game, or how ha wanted her to
play It. She wondered how he
would look, and what he would say,
It she were to ask him Just atrslght
' out.
The sound of tailing water came
Bearer every minute. On the ter-

race it was an undertone; but as
they went down the slope, it swal
lowed every other sound and rose
to a dominant roar. They turned
inland, and tbe path wound be
tween tbe trees. The thundering
rush of tbe water was below tbem
now, but the trees bid the tall.
Then the path twisted, and they
came out upon a flat open space.
From tbe right tbe beadlong stream
came 1 urrylng down a steep rocky
channel. A light bridge spanned it
at Its narrowest point a few yards
from wbere tbey stood. Below tbem
was the fall, the sound of It like
tbe sound of an avalanche.
Nan stood by the railing which
guarded the edge and looked over.
A mass of foaming water fell 40
feet sheer to a black pool. The
ravine narrowed to a cleft, and
within this cleft tbe water tell.
The sides ot It were dark and slip
pery. And beyond the black pool,
which lay In shadow, the sunlight
glittered on the sea. The spray
came up Into ber face.
"It's high tide, so you're seeing
It at its best. Watch that wave
come in."
Nsn watched, and saw a big
wave rear itself and come driv
ing through the mouth of the ra
vine, to break in foam and spray
against the spray and foam ot the
fall.
the bridge ahead of him.
"You get the best view from the
bridge," said Jervis,
"Dogs the sea always come up to
the pool7"
"Yes except at the ebb of a
spring tide. A high flood tide will
break half way up the fall. It's a
fine sight. Come and see It from
the bridge. Here, Branl HI over!"
Bran cocked his ears, lifted his
head, and raced ahead of them to
the bridge, where he turned with a
Joyful woof and then ran forward.
But as he came on to the bridge, he
checked so suddenly that he slid a
couple of feet on the wet planks
before he could stop himself. He
came to a standstill with all four
feet together, and Immediately
sprang back growling,
"What's up, Bran?" said Jervis.
"What Is It, you old fool? Hi over!"
The hair on Bran's neck stood
up. He backed gingerly, lifting his
feet as If he were en Ice, and
growling all the time. ,
Jervis strode forward and caught
him by the collar.
"Hi overl" he said. "What's the
matter with you?"
Bran beat with his tall, whined,
and pulled away.
"He's frightened," said Nan
rather breathlossly. "There's some
thing wrong .with the bridge."
Jervis' eyes flashed.
"He's going over if I've got to
3rg Urn'."
"Oon'tl" said Nan. "There's
something wrong."
"Shall I show you there isn't?"
Jervis lot go ot Bran with a sud
den contemptuous movement and
turned to the bridge.
Nan felt the agonising certainty
ot danger. Hor heart Jumped, and
before she knew that she was go
ing to do It she found herself on
the bridge ahead of him.
What happened after that was a
horrible confusion,-
