So keen was her sense that more lay behind Mrs. Mellish’s laconic reply that she scarcely heard the clamorous telephone bell for which she had listened so long it left her voice quiet and level. “You saw Miss Rosamund.

Mrs. Mellish would have spared her, but she had forced her to speak. Well—since she had come so far, she must go the whole of the way. “You're sure you saw Miss Rosa- on, If there were more questions to be put, then someone else must put them—Ferdinand, or Mr. Page.

She felt very sick and giddy, but she managed to get up and to speak steadily. “Thank “you, Mrs. Mellish. You won't speak of this to anyone?” Mrs. Mellish recovered her poise. “It's not by any wish of mine that I’ve spoke of it now,” she said, and withdrew without haste, and with “the consciousness of high moral worth. It was some time later that Nan Tealized she was still standing as she had stood to see Mrs. Mellish go. The realisation came with a slight;sense of shock. It was some time since the door had closed, but she did not.know how long. Everything had stopped when the door shut; now it went on again with @ ‘little jerk, but slowly, un- id as-if it might stop again at any moment.

Had he only been kind because she must not be awake? She must sleep and know nothing because Rosamund was coming? Her mind filled with pictures, They came up like bubbies in dark water. She could see them coming, but she could not stop them. As each ome reached the surface of her mind, it floated there,.showed its iridescent colors, and broke in & epray like tears. She saw herself and Rosamund side by side. Jervis loved Rose mund. She saw Jervis comforting her— the curtain blowing in the dranght from the open door—the door be tween his room and hers. He wouldn't have left it open if Rosa: mund: had heen there. She trem bled:against his shoulder and was comforted. The door was open, and the eurtain blew. * She saw Rosamund with the suit- ease in her hand. Pree She saw other things. After @ long time no more bub- Dies rose. Her mind was dark and empty. She went up to her rooni, and at the first sound of her foot on the stair, there was Bran, keep- ing step with her. She locked the door upon them both; she locked the door into Jervis’ room. Then she undressed and lay down on her bed. A heavy weight of fatigue made all her limbs feel like lead. She lay down and covered herself with the sheet. With no in- terval at all, she dropped into the deepest depths of sleep. (Copyright, 1282, Lippincott) A litte tate of Servis’ whereabouts, Monday. THE ARTMAN PRESS PRINTING {Beef in the line?
