f TERVI3 want striding down the
V drive and, once outside the gates,
tnrned Into a Held. 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

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

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.

It let Leonard out It explained
everything perfectly.
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.
