WHERE 18 JERVI8T
NAN cam early to breakfast,
and Ferdinand Franela late,
Tflth bla red hair sticky and rum
pled from the sea. He had made
ome attempt to brush It, but except
for the color It looked a good deal
like the coat of a Scottish terrier.
Jervls did not come to breakfast at
ill.
"Alfred says be went out early,"
aid Ferdinand over bis bacon. "It's
(olng to be hotter than erer, so I
ftiess he's wiser to get through with
anything strenuous before the ther
mometer breaks."
By eleven o'clock Alfred was be
ing questioned.
"Did Mr. Weare say he was going
o be late?"
"No, ma'am.
' "Well, did he say where he was
rolngj"
"No. sir."
"Did he say anything at all, Al
fred?" I "No, ma'am."
"Well, did you see which way he
went?"
'' Alfred looked agonized. He was
shy lad with a strong objection to
Committing himself.
"No, sir."
Nan made a flashing guess.
"Did you see him at all, Alfred!"
"No, ma'am, I can't say I did."
"He wasn't there when you went
to wake him?"
"No, ma'am, I can't say he was."
There wasn't anything more to be
aid. It was the most ordinary
thing In the world for Jervls to get
HP and go out before the servants
were afoot. He would go down to
the sea for a swim at three in the
morning If the fancy took him. Since
'Nan had been at Weare he had been
out every morning. Once he had
walked into Croyston and break
fasted there because be wanted to
ee a man about a deal In sheep. He
night have done the same thing
(gain, and he would certainly be
(rightfully angry If he were pur
ued by fussy inquiries.
; Lunch time passed.' At four
o'clock she got np from her chair as
(Ferdinand came Into the library,
land went to meet him. When they
imet, she looked at him, and then
ilooked quickly away,
"We've got to do something," she
aid.
"Well, what do you want to dot"
"I don't know. I'm frightened."
"Oh, I wouldn't be frightened."
"He'd never etay away like this
iwould he?"
: "Well he might. But we'll do
llome telephoning and see If we
(can't get him. If he went Into
IProyston, he'd go to the hotel."
: Jervls had not been In the hotel,
nor In any of the other placea that
Ithey tried. They rang up the Tet
Iterleys, and Rosamund answered.
' "Did you want Janet? She's away.
IShe and Basher wont oft last night
jto put In a couple of days with his
klster. Jervls? No, he hasn't been
per. Has ha gone off? Well, he
jdoes, you know he always has. I
Mxpect he's forgotten he's married.
l shouldn't ask too many questions
lit I were you he won't like It." She
Uanghed.
: Nan's voice came small, and
teady, and clear.
"You haven't seen him?" .
"Not since yesterday."
Nan hung up the receiver. She
turned a composed, colorless face
kn Ferdinand.
1 "What are we to do?"
"What did she say?"
"The Tetterleyi are away. She
liars they went away last night Sbe
isaya sbe hasn't seen him. She says
the goes oft suddenly like this. Is
(that true?"
F. F. ran his hands through his
ringer hair.
"Well he's sudden. Jervls has
always been extraordinarily sudden.
It's his temperament. If he gets an
Idea, he doesn't want to Walt and
turn it over in his mind he wants
to get going and do something about
It quick."
"Without letting anyone know?"
Ferdinand rumpled his hair again,
"Well, he might give a telegram
to someone to send, and they might

SOUTHERN OREGON NORMAL
SCHOOL, ASHLAND. Ore., Oct. 8
(Special) B P. Irvine, editor of the
Oregon Journal and member of the
Oregon Bute Board of Higher Educa
tion, delivered a very Inaplrlng ad
dress to the Southern Oregon Nor
mal School students at their regular
assembly Friday.
Mr. Irvine stressed the Importance
of doing some kind of work In the
world to be proud of. He said that
everyone should have very htg,n Ideals
and try to work toward them.
That school teaching, "If done In
the right way Is a wonderful thing
and that all school teachers should
be Justly proud of themselves If they
ean actually put good thoughU Into

the brains, of Vie student," wsa a
target It. That's a thing that's very
liable to happen. But I was think
ing I'd run down into Croyston and
make some inquiries."
Jervls had not been seen In
Croyston. He had not been seen at
the railway station. There was an
early train to town at seven-forty-
live. They tracked down the two
porters who had been on duty.
Neither of them knew Mr. Weare
by sight but the train bad been
quite crowded as there was a day
excursion.
The agent, a long melancholy man
with a thin neck and an embarrass
ingly mobile Adam's apple, proved
to be the type of witness who re
sponds Instantly to any suggestion.
Asked It he had noticed a tall gentle
man with black hair, he Angered bis
Adam's apple and looked vaguely
over Nan's head.
'Tall gen'leman? Black hair?"
Yes," said Nan. "Did you see
him?"
"Well, I might have."
"But did you?"
"Very tall gen'leman?"
"Six feet," said Ferdinand firmly.
The agent's eyes came down an
Inch or two. From bis manner It
appeared that It they had wanted
a gentleman of six-foot-three or up
wards, he could have obliged them
but six. ... He shook his head
mournfully.
'Well, I can't ssy as I noticed
anyone of that description."
You'd be likely to notice Mr.
Weare he's noticeable. Quick walk
strong build very black hair
holds his head up and looks as II
he'd bought the earth."
"Well, 1 couldn't rightly say I'd
know him."
'Was there anyone on the train
who might have been Mr. Weare?"
Well, there might have been."
The man brightened slightly.
"Was there?" said Nan.
The agent seemed to think so. He
stopped fingering his Adam's apple
and scratched bis bead In a melan
choly, ruminative manner.
They had to leave it at that.
When they were driving back
from Croyston, Nan said In a suf
focated little voice.
I dreamt last night that he
was dead."
Well, that means he's alive,"
said Ferdinand. "Dreams go by con
traries." But he didn't look at her.
Stop the carl" said Nan rather
breathlessly.
Ferdinand pulled up at the side
of the road. They were out of sight
and hearing of the sea. In a lane
with a straggling hedge on either
de. The sky over them was veiled
with something between haze and
tog. The hedges were powdered
thick with dust. It was very hot
and vory still. The light was piti
less glare without sun.
"I think there's going to be a
storm," said Ferdinand.
Nan took no notice.
"I dreamt last night that he
was doad." She looked straight In
front of her, and neither face nor
voice had any expression. "It was
a dreadful dream. There was a
dark place and I saw him he was
lying on wet stones it was quite
dark."
'How could you see him If it was
dark?" said Ferdinand. Nan was
affecting him very uncomfortably.
Ho made his voice as brisk as pos
sible.
"I don't know you can In dreams.
I saw birfi. He was lying on the wet
stones and his eyes were shut. I
woke up screaming, and he came
In."
"What time was it?"
"I don't know. I looked at my
watch aftorwards It was a quarter
to two."
"He was up at two perhaps he
went out then. What clothes are
missing?"
They hurried back to the house.
Alfred rummaged about for a long
while. He found trousers, a blazer,
a blue serge suit, dinner clothes,
socks, shirts and trunks were miss
ing. Moat Important of all, Jervls'
raior and tooth brush were not In
the bath. Hair brustios he bad left
behind: dressing gown too. But a
dozen new handkerchiefs were gone
Alfred remembered them particu
larly. "Why should he have taken all
thpse handkerchiefs and left behind
his balr brushes?" Nan asked In a
low tone.

point especially emphasised by Mr.
Irvine.
He also said: "When you give a
student an education you are giving
him something that never can be
taken away from him."
Plana are under way at the nor
mal school for formation of a men's
league. It la felt that the mens
league can do a lot In promoting the
activities and that By working with
the women's league the social life
will be boosted to new height.
