CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE ELINOR broke the silence. SM sa;d in a nesi’ating, uncertain tone, Barrett—" He turned toward her Yes?” he answered "Do you wan' very much—to go on that expedmon'’ No. but I thought perhaps you'd rather have me out of the way. That was the oply reason I considered it.” I'd rather you didn't go ” she said Slowly. Oh. Elinor!” He had risen and stood with caster, pleading eyes fixed or. hers. But she was not yet ready to tell him the truth that she loved him and wanted his haopiness more than her own. that 'he wan'ed him near when their child a-as born T think you ought to become heater acquainted with your boy—with Gerald.” she said, her voice hard again You mean tha* I should be with you in the country?' he questioned quickly. Yes Don't you think so?” ‘ If it won't bother you to have tne there.” he said slowly. For a momon’ he had hoped for *0 much more than that He added, still in that weary tone. I love you more deeply than you'll ever know, El.nor The one thing I want is your happiness ' Then quickly he left the room Elinor cried stormily. sitting huddled in the big chair which made her look so small. For the first time since her mother had told her about Barrett's ward. shame prompted some of those tears. She was small, she knew. Small! And she could not seem to help being so If she stretched a hand toward Barrett she would see another misty hand go out to him. If she dreamed of kissing him again she saw another woman held close in his arms. She groped her way upstairs later, and for a time in her room stood by the closed door, wanting to open it. She wanted desperately to say to Barertt, I love you. I love you! I want you to be happy. That s all that matters!" But she could not do it. a a a

DAYS passed in which Elinor shopped to equip the new house In the country. She began the task eagerly, glad to have something to occupy her time, something to think about. Soon, however, that first, interest paled. She could not take heart in furnishing a home where Barrett and she were to meet as strangers And she could not forget the misery in her heart while salesmen and women displayed draperies, furni* i ture and rugs. Bessie Thrope came to the rescue. Bessie was constantly at hand with helpful advice. For her. the shopping expeditions were, a source of delight that would have been quite complete if Bessie had not been worried about Elinor. She didn't like the girl s listlessness and disinterest It wasn't anything . that one could talk about and that made the situation worse. Small Gerald arrived to take his place in the household and. from the moment she first saw him, Eli- ; nor's heart warmed toward the child. He, at least, was in no way responsible for the state of affairs, j All three of them went out to! the home in the country. Higgins went with them and soon had the household routine running smoothly and efficiently. One evening after a long day of work at his desk, Barrett wandered to the porch at the side of the house where Gerald, with Elinor's help, was making a fish net from some bits of string. Just as with human relations, the string would tangle disastrously now and then. • Sexton and I are going fishing tomorrow.” Gerald told him. "and Aunt Elinor's helping me make this

He was like a different child since they had come, and he adored Elinor. mam P'ROM down the hill Sexton whistled a bob-white call—the i boy's secrpt signal which half the neighborhood understood perfectly. Gerald was up in an instant. "It's Sexton.” he said eagerly. ‘May I go. Aunt Elinor?” We have to dig oait!"

Barrett asked I want to talk to you about something Do,” she said, head bent above the net. ' I wondered if you wouldnt like to ask Bob Telfare out for some week-end—or pernaps longer," he suggested. It wasn't easy, bot he had done it! Thank God, he'd managed to get the words out. Bob's been a good friend,” Eli- I nor answered levelly. ‘l’d like to have him come, but not unless you care to have him—” "Your home is the place for your friends," Barrett said. "It’s your home, too." "Lets have him next Sunday if he ll come.” "If you like." she agreed. He could not help but warm to the fact that she seemed to care so little. I'm still rottenly jealous." he thought remorsefully. you see Marcia when you were in town yesterday?” Elinor asked. She had hardly seen Barrett since his return. She and the Thropes had had a moonlight picnic on the beach the night before and when they had returned. Barrett had been working.

a a u ELINOR had learned, seeing the door of his study closed, that her whole day had been lived through with the thought of a moment's talk with him. The closed door had made her fpel like a child for whom there is no convincingly close tomorrow. She had gone to bed to lie there wakefully thinking "He may be at work again before I get down in the morning—unless I'm up early.” Barrett preferred to avoid en-1 countering her unless it was necessary. Seeing her made every-! thing so much more difficult. A hundred times he had been close to blurting out the truth of Marcia's secret. He wanted to tell her, to say, ' What do I care about a promise? What do I care for hon- | or? Nothing matters to me but you and your love!” But he could not allow himself, to do that. He had made his vow to Marcia. Now he said in answer to Elinor's question about Marcia. "I ran in to see her for a few minutes.” "How are things?” “Bad,” he told her. She caught her breath. Fright darkened her blue eyes. “Poor Marcia!” Elinor whispered. 'Yer. poor girl! Dicks about at the end of his rope. He wants to get out of the house, begin to take some interest in life, but she i doesn't want to. Twice he's found her in the nursery unconscious ” 1 Barrett studied Elinor then with a deep concern. He had noticed before how deeply distressed she seemed over Marcia's tragedy and it troubled him. ' Marcia has spoken of coming cut to see you." he said quickly. ' I'd be glad to have her." Elinor said warmly. “Tell her to come any time.' Again she raised her eyes to Barret, and again he thought, "What do I care for a promise? How can I kepp a vow that is making you miserable?” But he did not tell her.. Instead. with a few murmured words, he went back to his study. (To Be Continued.)
