JERVI8 TO THE RESCUE
TI7HAT do you want?" Jeryia de
ls mended o( Rosamund, who
tool below bli window looking up
at him, tha moonlight grey upon her
faca.
"I'll tell 70a If you come down.
Don't wake anyone."
Ha hesitated, frowning; furiously.
What waa this all about! He turned
hli wrist and looked at the luminous
dial of his watch. It waa two
o'clock. What on earth waa Rosa
mund playing at?
"Jerrls, I'm In perfectly dam
nable hole."
He aatd, "All right wait a min
ute," and turned back Into the room.
He got Into some clothes a ten
nis shirt, flannel trousors, blazer,
socks, and shoes. Then he went
down to the study, opened the win
dow, and got out.
"What's the matter?" he said.
"My car broke down."
"Where?"
"About three miles away, on the
main road."
"Well, I'll waka up Mrs. Melllsh.
She'll hare a room got ready for
you."
"No no I don't want to do that."
She came suite close and put a
band on his arm. "I want to get
back. Janet Tetterley doesn't know
I'm out"
"What hays you been up to?" said
Jervls.
"Thai's not your business."
"What do you want me to do?"
said Jervls angrily.
"Make lesa noise to start with,
and then lend a hand with the car."
"What'e tha trouble?"
"Fre ditched her. We could get
her out together, but I can't budge
bar alone, and there Isn't likely to
be anyone passing for tha next tour
hours or so."
Jerrls did not know what prompt
ad him to say,
"You're alone?"
"Well, would I corns and dig you
lent In the middle of the night It I
wasn't? I don't walk three miles In
renlng shoes tor tun."
: "All right I'll get tha oar out and
run you back."
Rosamund's hand closed on his
arm a strong hand for all Its white
ness. "No, you can't do that it'll giro
the whole show away."
"What la there to giro away?"
said Jervls.
"Well, to ha quite frank," said
Rosamund, "I can't afford another
scandal on the top of turning you
down. It Isn't all jam as It la.
Janet'a under Basher's t h n m b ,
though you wouldn't think It Basil
ar's a prude, of tha first water when
It comes to bis own womenfolk. It
he knew I'd been out all sight, he'd
never hate ma In the house again."
"And H'a not my business where
you're been?"
"Well la It?"
"How can yon get back without
omeona finding out?"
"It's as easy as mud. Tha aeoond
chauffeur sleeps over the garage,
j Ton couldn't waka him If you drove
in, truck through the room. I've got
'a key, and I can take her In the
.same way I took her out, without
anyone being the wiser.'
Bo she couldn't have gone out
much before midnight. Queer busi
ness this.
"Well, we'd better be getting
along," he said.
Rosamund moved, let go of his
arm, and stepped out ot tha shadow.
The moonlight touched her uncov
ered head and took all the gold out
lot her hair. It lookod trey with
threads of silver In It. Her face, her
hands, and tha column ot ber throat
were Ilka Ivory eeen through water.
She was wrapped In a black Chinese
shawl whose embroidered flowers
vera like faint ghosts whose color
and sweetness have died and been
-forgotten.
I She moved beside him, walking
lejulckly and In silence. She could
Ikeep pace with him without effort

contrast to the habitual bluntness
of her speech. She did not speak
now until tbey were past the gates.
Then she said In a mocking voice,
"Don't you want to know where
I've been?"
"Not particularly."
"No wonder I Jilted youl Tou
don't care whom I've been meet
ing?" "Why should I?"
"Do you?"
"No. I don't"
"No healthy curiosity?"
"I'd like to know what you're
driving at"
"I'd like to know myself," - said
Rosamund, her voice harsh on the
words.
They walked on without speaking
for a couple ot hundred yards. Jer
vls couldn't help a feeling of ex
treme nervousness perhaps It was
tha fact that his rest had been dis
turbed in so curious a manner.
Nan had dreamed that he was
dead. It wasn't an omen, ot course,
because he waa an Intelligent citi
zen of the twentieth century who
hadn't the faintest belief In omens
and tabus. Yet he could not put It
out of his mind.
Nor were his nerves due to his
strange errand. Nan would never
have demanded such a thing at such
an hour. Nan would not have gone
out on a shady venture; It she had
been caught with a ditched car at
I o'clock in the morning, she would
not have made unreasonable re
quests of the neighbors. Not even
ot her husband.
Yes. The more be thought the
less strange this early morning visit
was. Rosamund was a demanding
person. She was never a consid
erate person. Probably It had
seemed quite the proper thing to do,
this business of flinging pebbles Into
someone's window to save her own
skin. He felt bettor.
Then he asked:
"Are you going to marry Leon
ard?"
"Should you mind it I did?"
"Not In the least But I should
think twice before I did It it I were
you."
"Why?" said Rosamund.
"The man'a an outsider."
"Thank you ne'e my cousinl"
"Everyone's got some dud rela
tions. Are you going to marry
him?"
"No," said Rosamund.
"Well, that's damned sensible of
you."
Rosamund moved a little farther
away from him.
'You've made such a sensible
marriage yourself haven't you?"
Jervls said nothing. Quite sud
denly, when she said that, ha saw
Nan aa he had seen her settling
back against ber tossed pillows; her
rumpled hair, soft and brown; her
little tremulous smile; her eyes
clear shining after rain.
Sensible? That wasn't tha word
for the marriage that had brought
Nan Into his life. Who wanted to
make a sensible marriage? He had
taken a leap In the dark, and It had
landed him In a place ot extraordi
nary enchantment You weren't
sensible In an enchanted place.
He threw hack his head and
laughed. What a Jest lata had
played on hlral What a gorgeous,
rollicking, enchanting lest! Ousts
ot laughter ehook him. He wanted
someone to share It with him. But
he couldn't very well share it with
Rosamund. It was Just like fate to
thrust Rosamund upon him at thla
Juncture.
She had crossed to the other side
ot the road. They had reached a
bend whore halt a dozen wind-driven
thorn trees stood above the hedge
on one aide and a row ot elms cast
a dense shadow serosa the road
from the other.
"Here's the car," said Rosamund.
"We haven't come three miles."
"It felt like tour In these shoes."
The road dipped Into the shadow.
The car stood In at an angle to
wards tha hedge. The place was
as black as overhanging boughs
could make It
"Yii ought to have left your
lights on," said Jervls.
Rosamund dldnt answer. He
heard her move, hut he couldn't see
her.
He opened the door ot tbe car and
leaned forward to awltch on the
lights.
