CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR Barrett took the key from the lock of the door before he anm he said, ‘ I never have tried to hide the boy. Elinor." She moved one hand nervously. ‘The child has a right to live in your home," she said Insistently. “A real home eurh a* Aunt Bessie boys have It's horrible to be shunted from place to place. I know all about that!" He said nothing, staring dully out • the Sound Hasn't he a right—a real right—to live in your house?" Elinor demanded "Perhaps." he conceded She flushed with anger "How ran you doubt it?" she asked as close to stridently as she could apeak Barrett made no reply to that After they were seated in the car he asked. "Do you want to stop ’ the Thropes?" “Not today unless you particularly want, to." "No. he answered The necessary pretending before Bessie Thrope would be too difficult! Elinor was thinking of the child to be born in that small house they had just left Barretts child She had not told him about it At first, the secret had made hr wildly happy, but now all that was changed. It only made the situation in which she found herself more bitter, more hopeless. Barrett turned to look dowm at her and saw tears in her eyes. "My God. this is cruel. Elinor!" he whispered • More cruel than you know." she answered He smiled grimly at that. "I think not!" he said surely. a a a IpOR miles they traveled without speaking. When they reached home Barrett went to the library. There, alone and smoking hard, he tried to decide what to do about the expedition, whether It was best for her to have him out of the way. That would determine his course. Her feeling and her need. Nothing else seemed of any imp r* a nee to him They dined almost in silence. Even before the servants they no longer pretended devotion to each other. The strain was 'no great. In the midst of the dinner. Higgins answered the telephone and hurried back to the dining room. He said to Barrett, "Mr. Radnor savs he must speak to you. sir." "Bring the telephone, please," Barrett answered in a tone of complete disinterest. Higgins brought the instrument, plugged it in and set it at Barrett s hand. "Yes.'' Higgins heard. There was a silence and then a shocked. “Oh, no. Dick!” After a few more words Barrett stood up. "It's the baby!” he said. ‘ Something's wrong They brought him to town this morning for Winters to look after him and he’s worse Dick says Marcia's nearly wild. I’m afraid I'll have to go down ** mam ELINOR said nothing but she had lost color She sat staring at, her plate. Her suddenly trembling hands nervously fingered the silver. Here was anew peril—the loss of a. child. That, too, might lie before her. If she should lose her child she would have nothing—no one In the world—left! Marcia had Dick Radnor, a devoted husband who loved her with all his heart. Another thought cut her heart with knife-like thrust. Was Geralds mother living? Barrett turned at the door. "Goodby.” he said wistfully. "Goodby," Elinor answered. There was no softening in her tone and he moved awa% heavily. Higgins, entering with the dessert. said cautiously. “Mrs. Colvin, niav I speak to you about something that has been troubling me?" • Certainly, Higgins," she told him.

: but not as she would have answered a few weeks ago. The butler had never known any one to change so completely in such a short time. "I'm troubled about Mr. Colvin." he went on. rubbing his hands together m embarrassment. "He's not w-e]i, Mrs Colvin, and that’s strange because he usually has such excellent health. "I've never known him to be like this before I can t help but be alarmed about it. I've been with the family for such a long time. There's nothing I wouldn't do for him. Nothing! He's such a fine man. Mrs Colvin—" She flushed hotly. He saw her lav down a piece of silver and was sure she had been moved by his words. . Elinor, angry and close to tears, said distantly, "I think you need not worry. Higgins, Mr. Colvin is quite strong " But those fevers in the tropics.” he murmured. "They're very dangerous!" a a a ELINOR rose and found that her knee* were weak and unsteady. You may bring my coffee to the drawing room, she said. Yes, Mrs Colvin," th-* butler answered unhappily. As he arranged the tray he meditated that for all he knew he had only made a bad matter worse. But to stand by and see the storm clouds thickening was impossible. He couldn't do that. No doubt it was the matter of Miss Marcia's boy that was making all this trouble. Higgins knew that if he should so much as hint at what he knew about that affair he would lose his job and—far worse! his master's trust. He fumbled with a handkerchief and dabbed an “ye. Never before had he felt so old. Elinor was in the drawing room, sitting far back in a chair, when Higgins brought the coffee tray and placed it, on a low table before her. She had turned off the lights and the grav of an early summer evening filled the room. Curled up in the big chair, she looked like a wistful, uncertain youngster of 16. She had been thinking over wfcat the butler had said. Perhaps he was right. She had been too much concerned about herself recently to think of any one else. Suppose something should happen to Benue tt while he was away! Higgins had said the south teemed with fever. Barrett might grow ill and die—far away from her, without knowing that she did love him and could not help loving him, even while she despised him. • When Barrett returned at 10 o'clock Elinor knew frfim his step that something was wrong. She called out, "Barrett!” and he came quickly to the door of the drawing room. His face was white and drawn. "He's gone." Barrett stated with an effort. "Marcia's baby! Some heart defect—" She felt herself grow faint. “Oh, Barrett!" she gasped. "It’s bad.” he murmured. He dropped to a chair and she saw a muscle twitch at the corner of his lips ' Mind if I sit here a moment?” "No. of course not.” He covered his face with his hands. This, Barrett thought, was the worst of all. He had known, leaving Marcia, that he could never now break his promise to her. He could never tell Elinor the truth. (To Be Continued) grant” absence leave Settle to Suspend Farm Bureau Duties to Aid Wheat Control. William H. Settle, president of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation. has been granted leave of absence for several weeks to act as special adviser on national wheat control. He will assist M. L. Wilson. who has charge of the wheat control administration under the agriculture recovery act.
