Mr. Francis" bright brown eyea looked ippreciatlvely from his coffee to a bed of flame-coloured snapdragons, from the snapdragons to Nan In a green frock, and from Nan to Ferris. . "No more accidents?" Ferdinand Francis came down the next day. There was a little dragging si lence before Jervls asld in a cssual tone, . "Only the old bridge above the foil." Ferdinand, jerked round In his wicker chain "Not really! And It fell?" "What a dramatic mind you've got, F.F.. The timbers were rotten With the spray" "Rotten were they and with the apray?" Jervls nodded. "The bridge fell. And was there anyone on It when It fell?" Jervls got up and stood halt turned away, looking down towards the ravine. "Nan had a narrow escape," he said. "She'll tell you about-It It you want to know." Ferdinand certainly wanted to know. He looked at Nan, and found her changing eolor. "There's nothing to, tell, Mr. Francis." ' "Oh, I Imagine there's anme thing." "No, there Isn't" Then, as Jervls looked over his shoulder with a ear donio gleam In hla eye, she colored and said stumbllngly, "I ran on to the bridge. It cracked, and then It fell. Jervls pulled me up." "My eye!" said Ferdinand. "Can't someone do better than that? Haven't you got a few extra sylla bles about you, Mrs. Jervls? I feel as If I could do with them If you have." "Bran wouldn't cross It," said Nan only Just above her breath. "I knew there was something wrong when Bran wouldn't cross It" "I'm an Inquisitive man," aald Ferdinand, "and I'm feeling the atraln ot this conversation protty badly. It someone doesn't tell mi what happened soon, I'm going to be a first-aid ease." Jervls had been listening Is a careless attitude, one knee on the balustrade. His sudden smile came and went again. It gave hla face an extraordinary charm. He looked at Ferdinand with affection. "Very nicely put F. F. I'm afraid I only deal In dry facts tbat'a why TIRED OF HOOEY W A6H I NGTONT, Sept. 30.

That was last nlgbt; but It mlgia have happened In another worlo. She had folt drained and dumb, a sort ot ghost In the dark. She did not feel In the least like that now.

"I'll tell you what happened "That's better," said V. V, Jervls got up and strolled awaf. "When the thrills are over vol can wander down to the ravine and view the remains," he said.

"There's so little to tell. There's nothing that I can prove there'i only the feeling, the frightfully strong feeling." Ferdinand nodded. "As you say, you've 'got a hunch'. Well, I take a good deal ot stock In hunches myself. You tell me all about this bridge business." Nan told him about waking up In the night and looking out ot her window and seeing Robert Leonard by a flash of lightning. "And what does Jervls say to that?" "He says I couldn't possibly have recognised him all that way off." "Well, there's something in that." ' "I saw hlra," Insisted Nan. "Right Now wbat about the, bridge?" "Jervla took me down to see the fall, and when we came to the bridge Bran wouldn't cross It he wouldn't go onto It at all. He knew." - Fordlnand nodded. "I've seen an elephant do that In Burma It Just stood there and trumpeted. Qo on." "Jervls was angry with him. He tried to drag him on to the bridge " She stopped abruptly.

"I never did care tor an expur gated edition it puts too much strain on the Imagination." "Tbat'a all," said Nan hastily. "Nonsense! All? And how did you come to be on the bridge? Bran wouldn't cross, and you knew there was something wrong, and ao you went onto the bridge yourself Just to see what would happen." He bad the satisfaction of seeing hor cheeks burn. "Well that Is true, Isn't It?" he said. Nan Jumped up. "You'd better go down and look at the bridge." "It I'd got a hat on, rd take It ofl to you, Mrs, Jervls!" said Fordl nand.
