CHAPTER FORTY-TWO Barrett iri siowiy, suppose w* ait down and talk this o’.er? Juat what haa your mother toiri you 0" Elinor had dropped to the Toot of the chaise longue Hands clasped on her knees, she looked l.ke a frightened child on the verge of tears Barrett drew a chair near and sat down, leaning toward her. “Mother told me that that you have an adopted vm at the home of a widow who lives in the country. And that the child looks like ton. Why haven't you ever told me’ why did you adopt him, Barrett? I can't tell you that,” he heard himself answer in a dull monotone. Don't you think I should have known?" ' I don t know, he answered, still dully. I I told you everything that mattered. Barrett!" “When the affair involves a woman a man can not always tell everything—" he stated Her cheeks burned with anger roused bv a sharp flame of jealousy. So he was still sheltering thi; woman who had come before her' You admit you are sheltering Borne woman?" she asked Yes Elinor ' His eyes troubled her He was suffering Even through her own pain she saw *hat. You knew her—before you knew Die 1 " "Yes, dear—" "Lone before?" "Years.” a "You were very young—?” "Yes. and I haven’t felt young since except at those times when you have shown me that you cared for me “Please!" she begged, shrinking. 0 0 0 H E dropped his face to his hands, groaned and then sat rrect. shifting uneasily In his chair Then again, forearms on his knees, he sat forward, hut did not meet her eves. Instead, he l*>ked down at the rug at his feet If tie looked at her he knew he might easily blurt out the whole storv. “I wish you could believe.” he said alowlv and miserably, that things are not alwavs as they seem, dear that I love you truly and as you should lo loved, that I would never hurt you willingly. It's—lt's killing me not to explain!” * And yet you can’t because of some woman?" she questioned. He drew a deep breath that did nothing to aerate his sodden lungs. "No" he answered flatly. They sat for some moments, he looking down at the rug and she at lum. "Please go'" she said. "I’d rather be alone I want to think It all through—” Os course there was no thinking It through She could only tell herself that she had been a fool to expect more What had she seen In life but the same story, written with varying degrees of sordidness over and over again? One thing she knew, growing hot from resentment. and that was this child had a right to have a place near his father, to have all he would have had with a different birth. Her thoughts veered. For a while she forgot the boy—Barrett's bov. How she had loved Barrett and how frankly she had let him know it! Doubtless <she trembled at the thought, he had compared her caresses with others. a a a HIGGINS tapped on the door. and she opened it to take a note. Barrett had written. “Dear please eat some dinner. You could have it in your room. Don't make me more unhappy than I must be Please keep well B " "I'll have dinner here in my room. Higgins." she said. “I have a Blight headache—" "Yes. Mrs. Colvin. I'm sorry about the headache," Higgins answered and tiptoed away.

Elinor heard Barrett moving about at 4 and through the crack below the door she saw a light which continued to burn a-s long as her eves were open When the firs' of dav turned windows to oblongs of slate-gaay sh slept She woke to hear rain and to see the somber light that comes with a steady downpour. Barrett was at the breakfast table when she appeared. Higgins was in the room, and Barreft arose, greeting her as usual with a kiss. I didn't expect you down.” he said. I was afraid you hadn't slept well.” "I didn't. You didn’t sleep well either, did you?" "No. dear " Higgins was gone now so that the “dear" was not a pretense. She saw that he could not eat. and the mere thought of food nauseated her "What will we do?” she asked. ''lt's horrible for both of us!” Gr>6 knows!" he answered hollowly Barrett. I want to talk to you when you have the time ” Any time you sav,' he answered. After breakfast then. In the library?” If you like," he agreed. But what, he wondered, was there to be said? He pushed aside his plate and rose as she was rising. Bag THE library windows opened on a little square of court. Elinor sat down before one of the open windows, and Barrett drew a chair close, facing hers. But Elinor did not begin. She. too, was waiting. "Os course." she said slowly, "you can have a dlvorre " . He saw the ng pain In her eyes and his heart warmed He went on eagerly, "I suppose you'd ' want that. Is there any chance that you don't?" “No." she told him. "Not now. I wouldn't want people to know, for one t hing. Besides. I am as happy here a.s I could be anywhere, ff you don't mind. I'd rather Just stay on until you don’t want me—" “But, Elinor, tlint will make — life Imprisonment in this house for i you. I'll always want you here. I don’t see how I could let you go. I can't even imagine life without lyou, dear!" He was looking down at his hands which he twisted. She wanted to lava hand upon his arm and say, What is the matter with us? We love each other Why must we make each other so miserable?” But she could not; site could not. "What do you want?” Barrett asked slowly, raising his eyes to meets hers. "I think I'd like to go somewhere jin the country and try to make a home for that child." she answered. ; Your adopted son. It Isn't right for him to be kept away like that." "Very well." For a space they were both silent; then he spoke. "I have a chance to go with an expedition to j South America. Shall I go?” Her heart seemed to shrink, to grow small and become cold. "II you want to." she responded. (T Be Continued! LEGION POST ELECTS Dr. Carl ITerther Named to Head Hilton IT. Brown Jr. Group. Dr. Carl Herther has been elected commander of Hilton U.
