TheAstonishingAdventure of Jane Smith “ontirued from Yesterday's Lady Heritage seemed to be in a frowninig mood.. This, it appeared was not one of the days when she disappeared behind the steel grating with Ember, leaving Jane to pursue her appointed tasks in the library. Instead, there was a general sorting of correspondence and checking of work already done, with the result that Jane found herself being pla upon, as it were, by a jet or spray of hot water. The temperature varied. but the spray was continuous.

Ember looked at her very curiously. Jane had often wondered what his queer cold eyes reminded her of. Curiously enough, it was now, in the midst of her fright, that she knew. They were like pebbles—the greeny- grey ones which lie by the thousand on the scashore. As a rule they were dull and hard, just as the pebbies are dull and hard when they are dry.

If Ember wished to talk, let him talk. She was still shaky, and not at all in the mood for fencing. “Well, how do you like being here? How do we strike you?" Ember spoke -quite casually, and Jane though t was strange that he and Henry ould both have asked her the same question. Her reply, however, differed. “I don’'t know,” she said. “Don’t you? My dear Miss Renata, what a really extraordinary number of things you—don't know! You don’t know what frightened you, and you don't know whether you like us or not.” Jane's temper carried her away. h yes he said viciously, Be Quick To Stop That Cold F you act immediately you can stop nine colds in ten.

Wonderful, isn't she?’ -“Oh yes” sald Jane. ‘“She's the most beautiful person I've ever seen. Too beautiful, don’t you think?” 1f she desired to interest Jeffrey Ember, it appeared that she had suc- ceeded. His attention was certainly arrested. “Why too beautiful?” Jane had an impulse towards frank- ness. “I think she's too * * ¢ every- thing. She has so many gifts, it does not seem as if there could be scope for them all.” Ember looked at Jane for a mo- ment. Then he looked away. In that moment Jane saw Something—she could not really tell what. The near- est that she could get to it was “triumph.” Yes, that was it, tri- umph. As he looked away he said, very low, “She will have scope enough,” and there was a little tingling silence. He broke it in an utterly unforseen manner. With an abrupt change of voice he asked: “Ever learn chemistry?” “No,” said Jane, and then won- dered whether she was telling the truth about Renata. ‘“'M—know what a formula is?" Jane put a dash of ignorant con- viction into her voice: “Oh, I think so—oh yes, of course.” “Well, what is it She looked puzzied. “It's difficult to explain isn't it? Of course I know late; and er—‘formal’ But something learned, isn't it? Ember's sarcastic smile showed for a moment. With a horrid inward qualm Jane wondered whether she had overdone Ronata's ignorance. “A formula is a perscription,” said Ember slowly. “If you remember that, I think you'li find it all quite simple.
