He could have found hit way blindfold, but out bere under the sky and away from hadowT trees, It was not so dark. The cloudless expanse above bis head was luminous and already pricked with stars. The moon bad (not yet risen. As be walked, bis thoughts cleared. If It was Nan who bad aared his life ten years ago at the risk of ber own, and If she bad Known this, tbelr whole relation was ion a different basis; It was pro foundly affected so profoundly, in fact, as to alter his entire point of hriew. He went back to the stinging hock ot Rosamund's defection on khe ere of tbelr marriage. He bad (believed tben, and bad since had Roll belief Intensified, that It was a khameless and callous manoeuvre Ito supplant him as bis grandfather's heir. To counter this, be must be mar- tried by the date Died In Ambrose Weare's will. Nan bad stepped Into the breach with her quiet proposal ithat they should marry as a mat Iter ot business. She had been very businesslike. She must have some' Ithlng for her trouble a percent age. She had, In fact, put herself mp for sale for ten thousand dol Sari. He bad not known then that be money was for ber sister, who wis now on ber way to Australia. Jervls was aware tbat be himself bad not bothered about being fair, By marrying Nan be spoiled Rosa jnund's dirty game, and tbat was all tie bad eared for at the time. In the last I hours be bad expert' need disposition to turn bis back on the events which bad led up to bis marriage. Tbey made a back ground Incompatible with Nan as be was beginning to know ber, 1 F.'s story made It Impossible lo blot things out. He felt Instead an overwhelming desire to know what bad been at the back of Nan's Blind when she proposed tbat bust' Bess arrangement. He bad set ber down as a shrewd opportunist catch' Ing at a marriage above her hopes. But, then, why not play her best card why not show ber acar and claim bis gratitude? The shrewd opportunist would urely have done this. And Nan, ac cording to F. F, had hidden ber trump card Instead of playing It She had bidden her parentage too, No opportunist worth the name hrould have neglected to claim Nigel Forsyth as a father. What bad been Bn her mind? Something glimmered among his (thoughts like a will o' the wisp. was a dancing point of light that turned a flickering gleam here and there and was gone. He would have married anyone, and picked her up anywhere. He had certainly been mad, and It was Nan who had atood between him and the abyss. The Igleam touched that None ot these things presented jthemselvet to blm In words. It ould hardly be said that he recog tsed what the gleam showed him. Wis conscious thought had not greatly altered as yet There was behind It a pressure which would compel It to alter. Jervls turned and began to wk!!i back by the way he had come. One Ithlng at least be could now explain rto his own satisfaction, and that wae Nan's extraordinary obsession With regard to Robert Leonard. He dldn't of course, believe the story pt Leonard coming down the cliff nd passing the pool. That was non sense part ot the obsession. No what had happened was (Quite obviously this Nan bad seen iLeonard somewhere on the beach lther that day or some other day. she had bad a shock, and was fever ish, and she bad got Leonard mixed p with ber fever. She had bad a bad dream about Leonard and had tacked It on to the things that had really happened. Jervls felt much better when he Bad settled this. It let Nan out and ALBANY, Ore,, Sept (AP) five business buildings In Browns ville were destroyed and several oth. era were damaged by lire early to day. Authorities estimated the total loss at about 1100.000. The fire was believed to have start, ed In the rear of a dry goods store. It swept through a barber shop, drug store, an unoccupied building and the poetofflce before It was checked by the brick wall of a bakery. The building formerly occupied by the town's only bank, which closed re cently, was badly damaged.

He got back to Wears to And the house dark except tor a light In the hall. Monk had standing orders never to sit up. He put out the ball light and went up In the dark. As he passed Nan's door, be beard the thump of Bran's tall and a faint snuffing sound. He said, "Lie down, Bran!" As he opened bis own door, the sounds ceased. He put on his light and undressed. Before be got Into bed be drew the curtains back, and fell asleep while he was wondering why moonlight made everything look so still. He waked with a start, he did not know how much later. Then he heard a sound Bran moving In Nan's room. Restless brute! But that wouldn't have waked him. Ha raised himself on his band, and as he did so, he heard a choking cry and in a moment was out of bed and at the door between tbe two rooms. It It was bolted. . . . But It gave to bis hand. He switched on the light, and saw Nan sitting up In bed under the crimson canopy, her eyes wide and blank with terror, and her Hps parted In a gasping cry. Bran, with his fore paws on tbe bed, whined and licked frantically at ber hair, her shoulder, her arm. As the light went on, be growled. flung round, dropped to tbe floor, and bounded to meet Jervls, thrust ing at him with bis head and mak ing anxious sounds in his throat Jervls bade blm He down, harsh- ly. His first thought was that the dog bad frightened Nan. Tben, as he reached the bed, he saw that her gaze was fixed neither on blm nor on Bran. It had no focus; it saw nothing. It was just a wide gate of fear. She was sitting stiffly upright with her hands pressed down upon the bed. Her short brown balr was wildly rumpled. Her face was of an agonizing pallor, ber eyes all star ing pupil. She had on a childish white night-gown, rather high at the neck, and beneath It ber breast rose and tell with each sobbing breath. Jervls sat down on the edge of the bed and -put a band on ber shoulder. "Nan what is It? Please don't be so frightened you're all right It was Just a dream." She trembled, and be put bis arm about her. "All right In a minute. Just hold on, and It'll go. Would you like a drink ol water? . , . No, I won't go till you want me to." 1 She was small and light to hold. Another of those dreadful shudders passed over ber. He felt her strug gle with It stiffening herself against bis arms until she was rigid. A sudden awkward tender ness tor her fear came up in him. Under his Impatient temperament he had a soft heart for children, animals anything weak, defence less, frightened. He patted her shoulder and tightened his grasp. "Look here, there Isn't anything to be afraid of. It was only a dream." She turned then, straining back against bis arm so that she could look at htm. "Did you dream it too?" "No. Look bore, it's nothing s dream's nothing It can't hurt any one you've only got to wake up Here's Bran telling you the aami thing. He's most awfully upsel about you." Bran bad bis fore paws on tbi bed again. The tip ot his tall moved deprecatlngly. He pushed hla bead forward and blew warm puffs ol air at her hand, her arm. "Feeling better?" said Jervla "What was It? Would you like to tell me?" Leaning against his arm, and looking up at him with those un naturally wide eyes, she said, "I thought you wore dead." Her voice was the lost ghost ot ltseif. He hardly hoard the words; yet they reached him, releasing some emotion which he did not un derstand. He did not try to under stand It, but it reinforced that odd tenderness. "I thought you were dead," said Nan. "BO I feel as if I ware dead?" Bis arm tightened about her. "I saw you In a dark place. Ton were dead." "Would yon mind. Nan?" be asked softly.
