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.

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."
