CHAPTER FORTY • Continued) “Barry—she began again. “Yes. darling?” “Barry, what makes mother I don t know Just how to express It- b;t why does she iook at you *<• slyly sometimes? The way she i d:d this af'ernoon 1 It's almost as though there was something you and :he knew that was a secret." Lord, dear, you know your mother be?er than I do' How would I know why she does anything?" "I don't know why I asked. ' Elinor said slowly, ‘ but I thought you did know. Barry. Somehow I've felt that you did I don't know how to express it. but I thought I could see aversion—or shrinking :n your face These last few weeks I've thought I could tell what you were thanking just by looking at you. You have such an honest fate. Barrett." He hoped he did not at the moment. But It was true. And Elinor had vef>n that lit- was hiding som“thing from her There was nothing for Barrett Colvin to do but curse the luck that had led him into s ich a trap CHAPTER FORTY-ONE ELINOR rose slowly. She felt 1 suddenly plunged bark into the old existence of deceits and di.shonesty. wishing so hungrilv that codes might be right, and true, yet being certain they never were. “Barry, she said. “I can't live if things aren't -as they seem You know how entirely my heart is yours " “Os course I do!" he exclaimed He caught her in hLs arms to kiss her hungrily. As suddenly as it had swept her. her fear faded She laughed. 'lt's just that I've been worrying about nothing at all. isn’t it?" He nodded, face pressed against her throat and hidden there. He didn't want her to read his eves, revealing his terror at what she might think if she knew about Gerald. He had never broken a promise hut he did not see how he could keep the one he had made Marcia, if keeping it should make Elinor unhappy "I didn't understand mother's look, dearest, but it was foolish of me to take her seriously," she admitted. "Yes. darling, it was.” “It bothered me all evening " “Darling!” “You do love m “You know I do!” he faltered, tightening his arms about her And that was the end of the matter—for the time.
IT was on a day in rally July that Lida decided it was her "duty" to toll Elinor thr entire story. Lida always had been capable of turning a wish to a moral necessity. She had felt the scorn Barrett could not keep from showing for her and this was to be her revenge. Never had any man looked at her as Barrett had her daughter's husband, her son-in-law! His eyes, whenever they me: hers, were remote and chill. He could not have shown more aversion to a beggar of the east. Lida assured herself that tinder the circumstances Elinor would be able to extract from Barrett a huge amount of alimony. This done. Lida was sure she could have about what she wished. Elinor hated quarreling over money—hated quarreling over anything at all She would do anything to maintain peace. "She must leave him! He isn't fit to be her husband!" Lida thought. She must be brave and stand by her rights!” But Elinor did not comply with Lida's suggestions. She received her mother in the drawing room That was a beginning that Lida, who wanted a boudoir intimacy in her daughter's house, did not like.

THIS RED TAPE
"It's frightfully hot!” Lida said as she sat down. “Why don't you get away?" “Barrett has to be in town Just now He's helping Doctor Detries.' Elinor answered It was for her a wholly convincing reason. What had her mother come for? Elinor, who knew her so well, was aware that when Lida seemed concerned about any one it was likely to preface a stab in thp back Her eyes grew troubled as she waited. a a a ELINOR sat back and Lida began. The color faded from !he girl's cheeks. She closed her eyes a moment, then opened them. It was true that each week Barrett went away for a long day. Objects in the room that she knew well became suddenly remote and misted She must not let her mother see what this.talk was doing to her. y “All that I want,” Elinor heard Lida saying, “is to help wou in your struggle toward truth You must leave this man. to build a strong, fine life for yourself! And I will help you—’’ Lida was astounded then to hear Elinor laugh A long, unsteady, almost hysterical laugh. Lida cculd not believe her ears. Why, Elinor!" she exclaimed. “I don't understand you at all!” "No. of course not. Mother. I am not going to leave Barrett. You thought I would, didn't you? And I suppose you thought I'd collect a large sum of alimony—” He certainly should support you after he's wronged you so!” “I’m not going to leave him and that's final. No decent woman would leave a man who has done as much for her as Barrett has for me! Every one would know about it if I did that! The story would get out. Later, perhaps. I will, but now. And I think you'll have to excuse me now. The heat is bothering me a little— ’’ Higgins let Mrs Stafford out of the house. His stony expression did not change as she smiled at him -ondeseendingly. Higgins had een Elinor go up the s'airs and know something was amiss. He was certain that her mother had said something cruel *o her. and Higgins was devoted to Elinor. As soon as the door closed the butler hurried up the stairs. “Mrs. Colvin." he said after tapping at her door, “can I bring you a glass of iced tea and some sandwiches?" He waited a long minute. Then quite steadily came th? answer. ■ Thank you, Higgins, but not now. I'm not feeling very well. I don't want to be disturbed, Higgins, please ” “Yes. Mrs. Colvin Certiinly.” he replied, sure that his suspicions had been correct.
O arre TT eame in eagerly a little before 6. He had. been gone since early morning. He had missed the tea hour with Elinor and was eager to see her. He had been helping a group of archeologists lay their plans for a trip to a part of South America which he had once longed to visit. The house seemed unusually quiet. Where is Mrs. Colvin?" he asked Higgins. "She is in her room. Mr. Barrett. Mrs. Stafford called, and Mrs. Colvin excused herself She wont to lie down and asked not to be disturbed." Barrett s face lost color. He hesitated a moment and then, all his eagerness drained from him by fear, mounted the stairs. He tapped on the door that was closed between their rooms, heard Elinor say, "Come in if it s you, Barrett." Not "dearest" or “Barry," but “Barrett." He opened the door. She was standing, wrapped in the yellow negligee, by a window. He saw that her hands were tightly gripped, and knew that if he could touch them he would find them cold in spite of the day’s heat. “I'd rather you didn't kiss me. please." she said breathlessly as he neared her. "You may be quite certain," he said, "that I never shall unless you’d much rather I would. 1 think you know that?" ' Yes, I do." she answered. There was a pause and then Elinor said slowly, "Mother’s—told me." (To Be Continucdl SCHOOL HEAD SPEAKER J. Malcolm Dunn to Address County P. T. A. at Garfield Park.

Jean, after watching the hidecus dancing natives a moment, remarked jokingly: "Tune's not bad—but I don't care for the words! Do they always dance when they go shopping?” "That's not a dance.” replied her father. "They're invoking their gods to get them the best of the bargain.”
