should have gone out of your way to get engaged to me" Tt was Roberts idea. Uncle Ambrose was dying, and Robert thought he'd settle 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 flor you to put on.'' That anger came up in Jervis again. He jerked away from her.
 Stay wet if you likel Now look here-are you going to be sensible and pay up?"
 No" said Jervis.
 Not very grateful-are you? I've really been rather nice to you much nicer than Robert-and the least you can do is to be friendly. Whats he asking you now?"
 One hundred and fifty thou sand"
 Well, it'll be two hundred thou sand tomorrow, and two hundred end 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 hun dred and fifty thousand on me? We'll go off to Peru, and youll be rid of us. Come on-is it a deal?"
 "I'll see you both good deal further than Peru before I give you pennyl" he 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 hands and through her closed lids, and through her tears, and She looked and saw what she had seen once before in a dream.
 She saw wet stones, and Jervis lying on them, his head back and his eyes open as if he were dead. A wave of agony broke against her heart. She cried out in her sleep
The Daily Alaska empire., 1932-11-05

and woke, shuddering from head to foot <
 Nan got out of bed. She had dreamed that dream twice, and the first time Jervis had come to her. Now she must go to him. She was quite sure of this. Her fatigue was gone, and the trou- bic in her mind was gone. She had gone to bed crushed otwn by the thought that Jervis and Rosamund were together. This had gone too. She only knew that she had to find Jervis. She dress ed herself, putting on thin dress and a raincoat over it.
 She had unlatched the window, when a sudden thought turned her back to the writing table She found paper and pencil and wrote I'm going to look for Jervis. I'm going to Leonard's house first. l am quite sure he knows where Jeryis is" She folded the sheet and addressed it to Ferdinand Then she picked up an electric torch that was lying at the back of the table and went out of the long window.
 The thunder set her running. It was like a door banging behind her. She ran, and the wind that was blowing off the sea, came up and carried her along. It was all like dream. There was the same certainty, the same conscious ness of something with which req son had nothing to do. Nan had not thought of where she was go- ing. She had known.
 She came out of the lines and began to climb the road along the cliff, and here the storm caught her like a leaf. One veering gust flung her against the bank and held her there bruised and impo- tent. Spray drenched her. She fell twenty times. She was near the sheer drop over the cliff, again and yet again, and then, just as she could fight no more, the wind would lift and carry her along.
 She came to Robert Leonard's front door; felt for the handle, turned it and knew at once that the door was fast.

result of his revelation to her last
night. it certainly aaG not been this.
She turned and spoke from the win

perhaps it is pride; vanity; some
thing utterly weak and small that
makes me do this, but those are my
terms, Jim, and shall expect you to
help me to carry them out. :"
Very WELL" he said, after a mo-
ment of thought. 'As far as | am
capable of giving such an impression
the world shall be given the impress
sion that we are a blissfully happy
couple. +. ="
He swung round, strobe back to the
door and went out. And as he went
her voice followed him, saying quietly {:
Thank you, JiEa."
A few days later, when they were
out walking, he suddenly linked his
arm through hers, and said close to
her ear:
See that man at the top Of the
lane? Well. he owns the place next
to mine. 1t will look convincingly
blissful. if we pass him arm-in-arm.

going out by himself, he stopped and
kissed her forehead. and when she
raised her face, quickly, startled, to

She did remember, and, in conse-

But wher there was no one TO show
off to he seemed content to maintain
condition of neutrality. Armed
neutrality, perhaps. but he did not
make that too obvious. Sometimes.
and it rather bewildered her. they
seemed to be almost friends. At these
times ii was impossible to believe that
he was plotting revenge against her
and hers. Impulsively, one day. she
spoke this thought to him, and he an
swered instantly.
I'm not I'm on a holiday. More,
I'm on a honeymoon"
$50 we can call truce while this
honeymoon-lasts?" she asked.
Yes; if you like to put it that way"
he said. And that same day while
they were riding together, he looked
at her great deal. and out of long
silence said suddenly:
