down next day, arriving In time
lor dinner with an extraordinary
assortment of luggage. Including
Ihe jellow Gladstone bag, a canvas
boldall, a uniform-case scraped and
battered down to the bare tin, a
typically British wash-basin with a
leather top, and some assorted par
els. All except the parcels were
plastered over with labels of eveiy
lhapa and color.
When dinner was orer, they had
toffee on the terrace, with the heat
dropping out ot the day and a
breeze blowing In from the sea. 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

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.
She wanted to convince Fordlnand,
to get him on her aide. She felt
warm, and alive, and sure. She
leaned towards him with her elbow
on the arm ot the chair.
"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. He went
down the steps and on down the
grassy slope.
"Now, Mrs. Jervls," said Ferdi
nand. "Jervls doesnt believeany
thing." "Well no he wouldn't Suppose
you try me I'm good at believing."
"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.
Ferdinand laughed a little.
"Keep right on," he said.
"Well, the bridge wont and Td
have gone too, only Jervls grabbed

His bright brown eyes mocked
her a little.
"I never did care tor an expur

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."
