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.
