CHAPTER 23. A CURIOUS SURPRISE
Jervis shrugged his Shoulder

A CURIOUS SURPRISE Jervis shrugged his shoulders a Mans passionate outburst.
 No, he thought; Nan can't pa, for what Rosamund did oml when she threw me over. NeEhe could he forget it, no longer wa it possible to trust Rosamund' sex.
 To break the tension, Jervis turn. ed abruptly away and picking u the volume of Who's Who, wen over to the shelf and put it bacl in its place. He stood for a min ute or two looking at first ons book and then another and whist ling to himself. The tune bother ed Nan because she couldn't put a name for it.
 She would have given the world twice over to undo what Rosa mund Carew had done to him She wondered whether she would ever be able to undo it. Just now when his eyes had laughed, she had seen the bitter ness and the hardness that were under the laughter. It hurt more thar when he frowned. He drowned easily, and it meant very little but when he laughed, her hear ached for him.
 rya +,,r,,ad ou,a,, fro,,, tho k1ool~ shelves, and came back to th1 window. His face wore a banter ing look.
 Well, I'd like to know just why you married me and just whats at the bottom of all this nonsense about Robert Leonard. A deaf and dumb idiot can see that you've got it in for hinr-and I must say I'd like to know why"
 Nan tipped her head back, met his eyes, and said seriously.
 He's trying to kill you"
 "Yes, you told me that before he rode me down in a taxi, and he arranged for the bridge over the ravine to rot in the spray. Come, you know, it's not good enough! But what I do want to know is why. What has this poor old Leonard done to be cast for the part of first murder? It seems a bit far-fetched, don't you think? And it would interest me quite a lot to know what put it into your head" . !
 "It's no use my telling you, 7 said Nan.-"you wouldn't believe me" sss
 I'm afraid I shouldn't. But you're probably of a very hopeful disposition-you might try"
 She shook her head
 Tt wouldn't be any use"
 How can you tell if you don't try?"
 A smile just touched her lips and was gone again.
 you're never going to believe anyone again. It would be a waste of time"
 You might convert me"
 Could I, Jervis?"
 q don't think so, Nan. But then that makes it all the more excit- ing for you. There's always an off chance"
 She had been standing looking up at him, now she came a step nearer.
 He is trying to kill you.'
 How interesting! Have you any notion why?"
 Its something to do with the money"
 I'm afraid that's where you slip up. Poor old Leonard's not in the running-he wouldn't get pen ny. It's distinctly to his interest to let me finger on and touch me for an occasional $20 bill"
 Does he do that?" (That meant that he was hard up-perhaps des- perately hard upD
 He does," said Jervis. So you see I'm more use to him alive than dead"
 "If he killed you" said Nan. She stopped because it was a very dreadful thing to say.
 "Yes-do go on, if he killed me?"
 ''Rosamund would get every thing
 He gave her a sharp glance. So she was working round to his will

MERCER PLAN

Embodying several compare
lively slight changes discussed at
the recent public hearings, the
revised street car merger bill has
been forwarded to the Senate
District Committee by the Public
Utilities Commission.
Upon receipt of briefs and re-
drafted bills from others who
made suggestions at the hearings
thc Senate committee will hold
an executive session, probably
next week, and vote on the meas
ure.
AS sent up by the Public Utili-
ties Commission the bill would
restrict the consolidated street
car lines to the operation of
street cars and buSSes.
Several witnesses cited that the
original draft had a clause which
might be construed as permitting
the company to go into taxicab
transportation-which traffic ex-
ecutives said they had no inten-
ton of doing, at least for the
present.

EASY WAY TO MAKE
FINE HOLLANDAlSE

Many home-makers, when dining
out, have been thrilled by the
luscious Hollandaise sauce served
on broccoli and asparagus. They
have been delighted by the zest 1t
gave, and have wished they might
serve fine Hollandaise at their own
family tables. Here Is the answer
to their desire! An enticing mock
Hollandaise sauce can be prepared
easily and successfully. and most
inexpensively. Home makers need
envy the hotel chef no longer.
The secret of the recipe below
Is the use OF concentrated evapo-
rated milk. 1t Gust In half the but
ter requirement OF the usual Hol-
landalse. In addition, It makes pos
sible the inclusion of all the con-
stitutents of whole milk. Holland
aise-lts golden color which con-
trasts so wildly with the vege-
tables, and its piquant flavor
makes many things such as cauli-
flower, more attractive and pala-
