PXGE EIGHT fwtwif ttogoo Nothing by Patricia vVenlworth SYKOPSIS :Trytng to fight down her growing conviction that Jsrvi hat met with tout play, hit tole JVaa Wears fruitlessly questions the cold and distant Mrs. Mellish. The housekeeper will tell nothing. " On the tvay to ask information of Rosamund Carew. the shifty girl who threw Jervis over in an at' tempt to cheat him ol his fortune, .Ferdinand Francis remarks to l Van that Rosamund's mysterious ' friend, Robert Leonard, has been acay. Chapter 88 NAN ATTACKS IN'STANTLT Nan flashed round on Ferdinand. "When did Leonard got Where lu he been?" "He went away on Tuesday." "Thla la Thursday," aald Kan. Ebe paused. "Isn't It?" "Yes, lt'a Thursday all right. It was Tuesday we lunched with the Tetterleys. Leonard had crocked his car, you remember. He got It going enough to take him Into Croyston that evening. He ran It Into Brown'a garage lor repairs, and he dined and slept at the hotel. He bad breakfast there Wednesday morning very sharp at eight, and hired a man to take him out here In time to tend hla Incubators. He'a got a watertight alibi, you see. "No, I don't," said Nan. "If he was planning anything wicked, Isn't (bat Just what he'd do go away and pretend he wasn't here?" Ferdinand looked at her quickly ldeways. "I went to the George. He was Slaying billiards until halt-past eleven. The chambermaid called him at seven. - Hla car was In Brown'a garage out o action I went there and made sure of that." Nan's lips made an unwontedly hard line. But nothing more was aid until they reached the Tetter leys. Then F. F. looked quickly at her again, thought how pale she was, and said, "Well, I'm not on in this scene, I guess. I'll put the car In the hade and wait." Nan was shown Into the drawing room, a big formal room which Janet Tetterley used as little as possible. It waa still furnished after her mother-in-law's taate, Basher having proved extraordi narily obstinate when pressed to get rid of an ebony grand piano, two ormolu cabinets, and a quantity of water-color paintings executed by the late Mrs, Tetterley In a frigid style. . Rosamund was standing at the tar end of thla room. She held a elgarette In her right hand. She was dressed In pale yellow linen. As Nan came towards her, aha turned away to pick np a match box. Rosamund's strong white hands were perfectly steady. She blew out her first mouthful of smoke before she spoke. ' "Wanderer returned?" she aatd. "No," said Nan. I Rosamund drew at her cigarette. "He'a not here. Did yon think be waa?" Nan aald, "No," Main la the game quiet Tolce. Rosamund laughed. "I haven't aeen htm, and I haven't got him here. . And If you'll take my advice, you'll atop hunting round after blm. Good Lord, my dearl This Is the twentieth cen tury, and a man does occasionally go away for twenty-four hours without taking his whole family With hlml" "Yes," said Nan "Ferdinand laid that too." "It'a bound to be true It Ferdi nand aatd It!" Her voice waa In solent. Then suddenly abe curbed It. "I know Jervis pretty well, and It you want my advice which I don't suppose you do I should Bay let sleeping dogs lie." She had romalned standing. A long window let In a brilliant panel of sunshine which slanted to her feet. Nan was standing too. She came a little nearer and said, "Do you know where Jervis Is?" ' Rosamund's beautiful eyebrows fose. "That'a a little crude, Isn't Itr "Yes," said Nan. "I'm not wor rying about being crude I'm wor rying about Jervis. If he's all right, he may he anywhere he likes, and he may be with anyone he likes. It you know where he Is, will you fell me?" "I've told you that I don't know." "Yes," said Nan. "But you keep hjntlng that yon do, I should be ASK GRANGE IN FEEDING Letters, asking the cooperation ot the Oranges la a program to supply with feed, fowls and animate which eontrlbute to family larders, have been mailed by the Jackaon County Humane aoclety to all aectlona of the county, Mra. Sydney Richardson an nounced yesterday. Granges receiv ing the requesta are: Wlmer, Rogue River, Eagle Point. Bellvlew, Talent, Lake Creek, Phoenli, earns Valley, Jacksonville, Applegate, Central Point and Boxy Ann. The letter reads: "The Jackson County Humane so- elety has been appointed by the local atate relief committee to assist in the care of cows, gosta and chlckena In want of feed upon which famlllea are dependent for food thla coming win - ter. "In the past many problems of Albany. Reconstruction work com Kbit ts,Uiy,UK bt,yt been, cared Jot b 1 picked, ou Albany Poor pa. plant, j very glad It yon would atop hint ing and say what you mean." Rosamund gave a short laugh. "I don't mean anything. It I'm to be quite candid, I think you're making a damned fuss. Men will go off on their own and, knowing Jervis, I should say there'll be the devil to pay when he finds out that you've been sending the town-crler round after him." "Yes," said Nan. She fixed hei steady eyes on Rosamund. "You say men go off but do they gener ally go In the middle of the night without any luggage?" Something odd happened; bnt It happened so quickly that It would have been difficult to swear to. Nan had only an Impression that Rosa mund had begun to ssy something, and that before the words reached her lips the cigarette which she was holding slipped, sideways so that the red-hot tip burnt her finger. It was just an Impression. The cigarette slipped, and Rosa mund said, "Didn't he take any luggage?" Then abe went on without waiting for an answer. "That doesn't mean very much does It?" Nan aald, "I don't know." "Do yon want me to dot the Ts? I don't mind If yon don't." "I would like you to say what you mean," Rosamund laughed again. "Perhaps he picked up what he wanted in New York." "No," aald Nan.. "You've been ringing them up?" "Yes," said Nan. Rosamund blew a smoke-ring. "There la an alternative of course. If a man pays the rent of a flat, he very often keeps some things there." "You don't seem to have a very high opinion of Jorvls," said Nan. Rosamund shrugged her shoul ders. "I don't expect him to be a plas ter saint. If you do, I'm afraid you're going to get a good many Jolts. It I had married blm, I should have been quite philosoph ical about that sort of thing but of course I never' pretended to be In love with him." The stress on the "I" was of the slightest, but It was there. Nan's color rose a little. She kept her voice quiet. You are trying to make me be lieve something that you don't be lieve yourself. I'm wondering why." The ash fell from Rosamund's cigarette. It made a dusty patch on the line primrose linen of her dress. "Would you rather believe that he waa drowned?" The color In Nan's cheeks drained away. Her voice did not change. 'It's not a question of what either of us would rather believe lt'a a question of tbe facts. I want to know what Is true." Rosamund stood with her hands behind ber. "You're very detached," ahe aald. "Well then, here are your tacts. Twice this summer, while we were bathing together, Jervis had cramp pretty badly. The last time I had to help him In. I don't think he'd have got in It he'd been alone. Well you would have It you know."- A little more color ebbed away. Nan said. "Is that true?" "Certainly." "Then the servants would know about it" "It you think Jervis would be likely to go round telling people that sort of thing" "Did you tell anyone about It?" "Why ahould I? I didn't partlcu larly want to make Jervis wild with me Just then." "I see. Then nobody knew about tbls cramp but you?" "And Jervis," said Rosamund. "Yes, of course. Jervis would know It he had had cramp," aald Nan. She watched Rosamund's face, but It showed nothing. The sun daisied behind her, "You can't tell me anything else?" "I'm afraid not. Ring me up 11 you hear anything." "Yes," said Nan. "I'll ring you up when he gets back." She said, "Good-bye, Rosamund," and turned and walked out of tbe room.
