IVJESTA was a brave woman, but
aba m taken moat utterly by
surprise. She tried to oall out, to
push blm away, but ber rolce oboked
under hla grip. The blood sang In
her ears, and the darkness was full
ot flery sparks. Then quite suddenly
he was tree. She sat back on her
heels, gasping tor breath. The
parka died out, and abe beard him
cay In a sharp, bewildered voice.
"Who's there t"
Be repeated the Question again at
jsnce.
"Who's thereT Speak, osot you!
(What's happened?"
Nesta stumbled to her teat.
"You're done your best to strangle-
me.
She heard him say, Tm drench'
Next moment he had
ed"i and then, "What are you doing
here?" And with that, he was out of
bed and switching on the light.
All Nesta's nerve had not kept her
Jrom a sharp recoil which took her
hack to the mantelpiece.
' He stood against the door and
looked first at her and then at the
had. He might well say that he was
drenobed. Wheu Nesta threw up her
.band to try and push him away she
lied still held the bowl of water.
Dt struck his shoulder, overturned,
and sent a cold cascade down his
(back.
The shock ot U biought hun broad
awake. His hands let go their hold.
He'd been strangling someone.
Who? Good Lord where was he?
iWhat a nightmare! He'd been
dreaming. But this wasn't a dream,
ifor there was Nesta with her hand
at her throat; and thore, tipped up
Ion the bed, was a yellow china bowl.
Tba bed Itself showed a large wet
patch where the clothes were flung
(back.
He awung round on Nesta.
' "What's the meaning of this?"
She had been frightened, and now
lehe was angry. She could not bridle
Tier tongne.
"You dangerous brute! You might
liave killed me!" Her rolce broke
on a sob of pure rage.
"I'm sorry bpt what were you do
ing In my room?"
"I'm your wife!"
"I don't think you were here as my
fwlfe."
Nesta flung up her head.
"What d'you mean by that? You
talf kill ma one minute and Insult
)ms tha next!"
"I don't think It's as bad as aU
'that You can talk all right" He
stopped and ducked shsrply. There
was a rough lump of pink and grey
quarts In the middle of the mantel
piece. Nesta bad swept It off and
pitched It at his head. It missed,
crashed against the door, and fell
heavily.

wrists.

Nesta had ceased to struggle. Now
she suddenly leaned towards him.
"Where have yon been?"
He dropped her wrist, stepped
back, and looked at her, frowning ,
"I dont know."
"Yon must know. Tom said"

"What did I eay!"
She laughed, half angrily.
"You said you'd lived in some

"And lt'd have been lucky for you
It you hadn't taken one to Fackbam.

She came up close and slipped an
arm about his shodldors. "Come,
boy It's nothing but common sense,
and you owe me something."
When she stopped, he put a hand
on her arm.

She looked at him coolly.
"You oalled out In your sleep I
