Chapter 4T A OHAfcT'.Y TEA PARTY nOSAMUND'S footBteoi woke Jer via, who lay asleep In hli soaked clothes on the nigh ledge. He ahot out a band and caught bar hy tba wrist ai aba leaned tor ward and called his name. He felt ber i tiff en and fall back. Hla grip tightened. She began to try to wrench herself tree. He got ber other wrist with bla left band and pulled ber down on ber knee. She kept her hold of the torch. After a moment Rosamund laughed. "You needn't hold ma ao fiercely!" Jerrls' graap relaxed. He drew hla banda bacli through the bare and waa humiliated to find that they were shaking. Rosamund flashed the light on hla face and exclaimed, "Are you all right?" "That comet well from yon," aid Jerrla. "What's the matter!" "Nothing. I'm thirsty." 'Damn I aald Rosamund. The torch awung round In an er ratio circle ar she jumped up. Next moment she waa round the bend. He could hear her running. The dusk went black. Robert Leonard beard sounds In the kitchen and went In, to find Ro samund coming ont of the pantry with eggs In one hand and a Jug of milk In tbe other. She had set a kettle boiling on the oil store. She turned on blm In a cold fury. "I. didn't aay yon were to atarre bin)!" "Dead men don't eat" "Don't push me too far!" said Rosamund. "I got blm out of tbe bouse for you, and you went back on me by hitting blm over tbe head. I oould hare brought him hese, and yon oonld hare dragged blm but, so, yon must behave like a savage and risk .killing him! I won't bare it: And I swear to yon moat sol emnly that If you do him any barm ril give you away!" "Have It your own way," said Leonard. He shrugged his shoulders and went back to tbe front of tba house. Jerrls remained staring Into the blackness. And then the black turned grey, and Rosamund came found the bond of the passage. She thsd a blanket over her arm, and she was carrying a tray a little In front of her, and on tbe tray there was a candle In a guttered candlestick, a teapot, milk and augar, half a brown loaf, a rough chunk of butter and a couple of eggs with one chipped egg cup between them. Rosamund set down tbe tray iclose to the bars and stuck the can Idle on a ledge about three feet , labors the floor, "I're been as qulok as I oould,' She said In a perfectly matter-ot-Ifact voice. Then she pushed a cup through tbe bars. Jerrls' bands closed on it bard, but a third of tbe 'tea Jerked from the cup before he got It to his Hps and drank. ' Better hare an egg next," said iRoaamund. "They're rery soft ,bolled I knew you'd hate them jraw." She was cutting and butter ling a piece of brown broad. Jerrls leyed the knife. It looked sharp, but Ihe couldn't reach It "Why doesn't Leonard come him laelt?" he aald. ' "Conscientious objections to feed- ling prisoners. "Are yon really married to tbe Iswlne?" "I am. So you see I bad to Jilt Woo. stupid affair wasn't It!" "What was the point of getting ;ngagea to mer "I don't mind telling you tbe whole truth." She paused and blew out a pale cloud of smoke. "I're been married to Robert for ages one of the fool things one does. It was Just bofore I cams to Wears. The great Idea was that I should do the angel niece at Uncle Ambrose, confess all, and get him to prorlde handsomely for us." She shrugged her shoulders. "Well, of course I waa a fool. Robert oame to stay, and Uncle Ambrose simply loathed him you remember, It waa Just be fore yon had that accident on Croy Iton rocks." F FOR AUTO TRAVEL , As the result of opposition voiced by Oregon people traveling through northern California, authorities In that state have consMared abandon tng the checking station located one mile thla side of Punsmulr hy the California state highway patrol, ac cording to word received here by state police officers. state authorities here explained yesterday that many of the com plaint are mads by the Oregonlana, as they do not understand why the Btatlon la being conducted, and they become Irritated at being questioned by the officers there. All cara traveling over the highway there are stopped and checked, and by thla means the largest share nf stolen cara from Oregon taken south, are recovered through cooperation of the California atatlon. Not only the autoa but persona wanted for law notations or qestlon Irigs are often detained, by, lbs Call- "Acciaeaif ' eaia jorvia. "Wasn't It one!" "Leonard tried to do me In." "Who told youT aald Rosamund. "Nan. Sho saw blm. I didn't be lieve her." "Nor-yon wouldn't!" aald Rosa mund. There was a bitterness In her voloe. "Well, Robert had to get out of the country. Ha went to South America, and I didn't know whether he waa dead or alive for eight years. Then be wrote to me, and last year be came back." "None of this explains why you should have gon out of your way to get engaged to me." "It was Robert's Idea. Uncle Am brose was dying, and Robert thought he'd settle a good bit on me if he thought I was going to marry you. Like another cup of tea! And then you'd better get those wet clothes off. I've got a blanket for you to put on." That anger came up In Jerrls again. He Jerked away from her. "Stay wet if you like! Now look here are you going to be sensible and pay up?" "No," said Jerrla. "Not rery grateful are you? I've really been rather nice to you much nicer than Robert and tbe least you can do Is to bs friendly. What's be asking you now?" "One hundred and fifty thouaand." "Well, It'll be two hundred thou aand tomorrow and fro hundred and fifty thousand the day after. I'm holding Robert back, but I can't go on holding him back. We've been pretty good pals, and why shouldn't you settle one hundred" snd fifty thousand on me? We'll go off to Peru, and you'll be rid of us. Come Is It a deal?" "I'll see you both a good deal far ther than Peru before I give you a penny!" be said. Nan slept and as she slept she dreamed she was In a dark place, weeping bitterly. Then there was light It shone through her bands, and through ber closed lids, and through her tears, and she looked and saw what abe had seen once be fore In a dream. She saw wet stones, and Jerrls lying on them, his head back and his eyes open as It he were dead. A ware of agony broke against ber heart She erled out In her sleep and woke, shuddering from head to foot Nan got out of bed. She had dreamed that dream twice, and tbe first time Jerrls bad come to her. Now she must go to him. She was Quite sure of this. Her fatigue was gone, and the trouble in ber mind was gone. . She had gone to bed crushed down by the thought that Jerrla and Rosamund were together. This hud gone too. She only knew that she bad to find Jerrla. She dresaed herself, putting on a thin drees and a raincoat over It She had unlatched the window, when a sudden thought turned ber back to the writing-table. She found paper and pencil and wrote, "I'm going to look for Jerrls, I'm going to Leonard's house first I am quite sure he knows where Jerrls la." She folded the sheet and addressed It to Ferdinand. Then she picked up an electrlo torch that was lying at the back of the table and went out of tbe long window. The thunder aet her running. It waa like a door banging behind her. She ran, and the wind that waa blowing off the aea came up and carried ber along. It was all like a dream. There was the same cer tainty, the same coneclousness of something with which reason had nothing to do. Nan had not thought of where she waa going. She had known. She oame out of the lanes and be gan to climb the road along tho cliff, and here the storm caught her like a leaf. One veering gust flung her against the bank and held her there bruised and Impotent Spray drenched her. She toll twenty times. She was near the sheer drop over the cliff, again and yet again, and then, Just aa she could fight no more, the wind would lift and carry her along. She oame to Robert Leonard's front door, felt for the handle, turned It and knew at once that the door was fast. fCopyrlsM, lm, ItpptoeorO Nan finds strange and ttrrlale tjlnoe, tomorrow, in mat hsuse f horror. fomla trafflo men for police head quarters here. "Cooperation received from the California traffic department by Ore gon officers is one of the greatest alda In checking on law violations," the state officers said, "and the peo ple from this state should do their part In helping maintain the lookout headquarter! just south of the state line."
