Nan It hurt and t- 7cr4 to find Aar Husband, Jer ;a, Joubt fSal sfts hat told Ifts truth about her family to Hoea jtund Cartw, JerviM" former Ion cie, and Hoeamund's malicious friend Janet Temrley. Goaded by hie attitude, unnerved by fear tor hie life, Kan ttinpe at Jervte the etory of her unhappy child' hood ae the almost forgotten child of Nigel Foreylh, the famous el ylorer. Chapter it A CURIOUS SURPRISE tERVIS shrugged hli shoulders at Nan'a passionate outbursL - - No, be thought. Nan can't par tor what Roaamuad did to me when Ibe threw ma over. Neither could he forget It; ao longer waa It poa ilble to t rat Rosamund's sex. To break tbe tension, Jervls turned abruptly awa and, picking up the volume of Who'l Who, went ever to the shelf and put It back in Its place. He atood (or a minute or two looking at flrst one book and then another and whistling softly to himself. The tune bother ed Nan because ahe couldn't put a name to It. Bhe would hare given the world twice over to undo what Rosamund had done to blm. Bhe wondered whether ahe would ever be able to undo IU Just now, when hla eyes had laughed, ahe had aoen the bit ternesa and the hardness that were nnder tbe laughter. It hurt more than wben he frowned. He frowned easily, and It meant very little; . but when he laughed, ber heart ached for blm. He tuned away from the book shelves and came baok to the win dow. Hla face wore a bantering look. "Well, I'd like to know just why you married me, and Just wbat'a at the bottom of all this nonsense about Robert Leonard. A deaf and dumb Idiot can aee that you've got It In for blm and I must say I d tike to know why." Nan tipped her bead back, met bis eyes, and aald seriously, "He's trying to kill yon." "Yea, you aald that before he rode me down In a tail, and he arranged for the bridge over tbe ravine to rot In the spray. Come, you know. It's not good enough! But what I do want to know la why. What has poor old Leonard done to be cast for tbe part of first mur- lererT It seems a bit far-fetched, lon't Ton think? And It would In terest me quite a lot to know what put It Into your head." "It's no use my telling you," said Nan "you wouldn't believe me." "I'm afraid I shouldn't But you're probably of a very hopeful dispo sition you might try." Bhe shook her bead. "It wouldn't be any uae." "How can you tell It you don't try?" A smile just touched ber lips and was gone again. "You're never going to believe anyone again. It would be waste of time." "You might convert me." "Could I, Jervls?" "I don't think so, Nan. But then that makes It all the more exciting (or you. There's always an off ehance." She had been atandlng looking np at blm; now ahe came a step nearer. "He la trying to kill you." "How Intriguing! Have yon any notion why?" "It's something to do with the money." , "I'm afraid that' where you slip np. Poor old Leonard's not In the running he wouldn't get a penny. It's distinctly to his Interest to let me linger on and touch me tor an occasional ltd bill. "Does he do that?" (That meant that he waa bard up perhapa des perately bard up.) "He does," aald Jervis. "Bo you see I'm more use to him alive than dead." "It he killed yon" aald Nan. Bhe atopped, because It waa a dread ful thing to say. "Yes do go on. It he killed me?' "Rosamund would get every thing." He gava her a sharp glance. 80 ahe waa working round to bis will. Bhe evidently didn't believe In let ting tbe grass grow nnder ber feet. He nodded. "Yon seem to know all about It' OREGON CITY, Ore., Sept. 17 (AP) Sheriff A. T. Mats Thursday announced Walter Johnson, 30, toad eonretaed he killed Nsltale Vereuoe, 64, whoee body waa found In hla barn at Clackamas Sunday. Johnson waa arreated by Sheriff Mam. who found In hla poaaeaslon a pair of blood-stained overalla which anrwered the description of those worn by a man seen by neighbors talking to Verezzoe the day of the murder. The sheriff aald Johnson admitted he chased Verevaoe about the houae and yard with a club and finally cornered him In the barn and beat him to death. He denied he had atabbed the man with a pitchfork which waa found near the body cov ered with blood. Sheriff Mbm said first degree mur der charge would be filed against Johnson. 1 aet Hanking Tn Munle BUDAPEST, Sept. 17.

"You'd got as far at 'Rosamund would get averthing.' Aren't you going on?" "No It a no use," said Nan. Jervis laughed. "Rosamund gets everything so in case Robert Leonard abould feel an overpowering urge to remove me and marry Rosamund, tt mignt be a good plan it I put temptation out of bfa way by making a will In your favour. Is that It?" Nan felt aa If aomethlng In ber must break. She didn't know whether It was ber pride or her love. There waa a feeling of an guished strain. She said, "No I" with a little cry. ' "Unfortunately my hands are tied, ao I can't oblige you. I can make a settlement on my wife, but the estate and enough to keep it up on goea to Rosamund undor my grandfather'a will, falling a direct heir." "I knew that" "Then I don't quite see what you were driving at." Bbe came quite close. "He Is trying fo kill you," she said. "I don't know why I think It's because of tbe money. Ferbaps he wants to marry Rosamund I don't know. But I know that he's trying to kill you." He looked down at her with hard amusement "You're very aerloua'over It" "I am very serious." "And why' Don't you want to b a widow?" "No," said Nan, very pale. Jervla laughed outright "What an odd taste, my dearl" ' Before ahe knew what he wai going to do, he took ber by tbt elbows, swung her oft ber -toot and kissed her on the mouth. He wai still laughing when he put hei down. Bbe was as white as a aheel and trembling violently. "Why, what's the matter?" h aald. She turned and ran out of thi room. Jervla atood frowning at the door. What a to-do about a klssl He threw up hla bead and laughed. He didn't know why be had kissed her, and he certainly didn't know why ahe bad run away. One could not have expected a shrinking delicacy from the girl who had offered herself to a stranger tor ten thousand dollars and a settlement of Ave thousand a year. No to do her justice, she hadn't asked for Ave' thousand a year; she had only atood for her ten thousand down. 1 He stepped over the low window slll and walked up and down tbe terrace amoklng, until the sun went down Into a rose-coloured bate. Monk found him there watching the aunset He presented a long en velope and a message. "Mrs. Weare baa gone to bed with a headache, air and these are the papers you wished to aee." Jervla took them to the study. Bp abe bad gone to bed with a headache. He wondered It he had made her cfy. A faint tinge ot triumph Just touched his mood. He bad lived ten years in the same house as Rosamund, and he bad never seen her weep. Nan'a llpa had trembled when he touched them ahe had trembled from bead to foot and had run away she had looked as It abe waa going to cry. Perhaps ahe was lying In the big four-post bed cry ing her heart out He had a picture of her In his mind, lying there In tbe shade of the red curtains, with bar head on her arm and her face hidden, weeping scalding teara. For some obscure reason the picture gave blm a feeling ot pleasure. He tore open tbe long envolope which ahe had sent blm. There were halt a doien letters on thin foreign paper, and a slanting pencil scrawl signed Nan. It aald: Here are my father's letters some ot them. Please lot me have them back. There waa a blister on the corner ot the paper. It looked as It a drop of water had fallen there. 1 Copyright, list, Ltpplncott) A pathttlo story ttlra Jtrvlt. To morrow, to make a great ehangt.
