TRIES TO HELP rfERE was no letter from Jervm next day. Nan did not know that she was counting on one until the mall had come and brought nothing. She looked at Ferdinand, and Ferdinand exercised come In genuity. "Buck up. Nan, here's a thing he might hare done a thing 1'to done myself when I've bad my mind all taken up with something. He might have written a note to leave here, and hare gone away with It In his pocket. If he finds It, he'll send a wire but he mightn't find It till he get back home. It's a thing might happen to anyone. "Why, In my own town there was the case of Reggie Lawson. Poor old Reg had got It bad. He was Just a shadow Cornelia Van Blen's shadow. And then all of a sudden he disappeared and everyone was lure Cornelia had given him the Bitten. Nan and Ferdinand "By and bye Cornelia began to look shadowy, too. She'd never been robust, but she got so poetlo looklng that she nearly, wasn't tbere at all. And then one day she got a cable from Cape Town, South Africa. It said: , " 'Letter proposing marriage Just found pocket wlntor suit can you forgive love you to distraction ca ble reply or shall go craiy Reg.' " Nan had been looking down at her plate. She had made a very -fitful breakfast. She heard Ferdi nand's voice, but she did not really hear what he wai saying, because bar own thoughts were speaking so loudly all the time. She felt sud denly as If she could not sit there and listen to tbem any longer. Her face changed, ber mouth quivered. Ghe pushed back her chair and got tap. "I must go and see Mrs. Melllsh," she said. She proceeded to the housekeep er's room, and was received with lira. Melllah's usual austere rospect respect not In the least person al, but Indicative of the fact that Mrs. Melllsh knew ber manners. Today Nan approved the menu without so much as reading It, She stood, and Mrs. Melllsh stood. She aid, "Yes, that will do very well,'" and continued to stand, looking past lira. Melllsh In a manner which was secretly resented. "Was there anything further, Ka'aml" she said In such a polite controlled voice that anyone less absorbed than Nan covld scarcely fcave missed the offence behind It. Nan did not start, but she came out of ber abstraction and turned her eyes upon Mrs. Melllsh's face. . "Yes," she said. "I wanted to Esk you whether yon or the maids eard anything on the night Mr. Wears went away. We think he bas written, and that the letter has been mislaid." "Yes, ma'am T" Mrs. Melllsh's tone waa not really a very encour aging one. "It anyone noticed anything," laid Nan, "It would be a help. Some ne mry have beard blm moving kbout. It would be a help If we Jl RELIEF PRESENTED AT Mrs. Donald a.

We arc " 8he paused for a long time, and then said, "anxious.1 "Yes, ma'am," said Mrs. Melllsh. Her plainly banded hair made the neatest possible frame to her plump, pale face. The hair was Iron grey. In the morning Mrs. Melllsh dressed to match her hair, in a strong Iron-grey material which suggested In the most In sistent manner reliability and mor al worth. "Will you ask If anyone noticed anything?" "Certainly, ma'am," said Mrs. Melllsh. She left Nan to a feeling that she had been knocking Imploringly upon a door that was not made to open. Then, as she stood waiting for Mrs. Melllsh to return, it came to Nan that It was not so much that the door was not made to open, aa that It had been deliberately slammed In her face. She stood tbere and thought about this. Why do people slam doorsT Either because they are angry, or else because they have something to bide. There wasn't any reason why Mrs. Melllsh should be angry with her. Had Mrs. Mel llsh by any chance got something to hldeT had a silent drive. Mrs. Melllsh came back Into the room with the alow walk of a com fortably covered woman who is concerned with her dignity. It ap peared that nobody had noticed anything. "And you, Mrs. MelllshT Your room Is the nearost," "No, ma'am." Her eyelids came down over her rather pale and prominent eyes. There was the effoct of a blind be ing pulled down. First the door of the house had been slammed, and now the blinds were down. Nan found Ferdinand In the atudy. "I want to go and see Rosamund," she said. "Why?" Nan put her hand to her cheek. "She talked too much on the tele phone I suppose It was yester day." "How do you mean, she talked too much I" Ferdinand's eyes dart ed questions. Nan pushed back her hair. "She doesn't talk much to me as a rule. She wouldn't speak to me at all unless she simply had to. But when I telephoned to ask her If aha had seen Jervia, she talked a lot." "What did ahe sayt" "I think she was trying to make me angry. I can't remember what she said It wasn't worth remem bering." Her chin lifted a little. "I Just wondered why she said so much." Ferdinand frowned. "Do you want me to drive you up there?" Nan nodded. They had a silent drive. When they came to the place where the wheel had come off Jervls' car two days before. Nan, on the seaward side, looked down over the cliff with a steady thoughtful gase. She turned her eyes from the sea to the squnre ugliness of Robert Leonard's house. "Leonard's been away," said Ferdinand. (Copyright, JHt, Llpptneatt) Whirl Nan should find sym- Eathy, tomorrow, the finds only Ittor acorn.
