It began as a whispered facts became known, until it domi- nated the conversation everywhere; rumor which grew in force, as the| Henderson jplans—a crafty scheme to separate Barbara from Ray. InJe ¢ “You might tell me what you | were doing yesterday.” i I was getting married,” Barbara {announced calmly. : “Getting married?

You're a sweet thing,| but hardly necessary on a hondy- | moon.” | And with that she was gone be- fore Cora Trenton-Jones had rec- [covered sufficiently to utter a word. Ralph Henderson was the next tu‘ disturb her. He arrived simul- tancously with the steward, bear- @ZE on decks, in the lounges; it even penetrated to the kitchens, Cora Trenton-Jones found her- iself the center of an eager, ques- tivning mob who invaded her state- room before she even had time to dress herself. All through the moerning they came, in a never- ending stream, Barbara herself be- ing the first. Mrs, Trenton-Jones had returned to the ship very late the preceding night, tired out, her head dizzy with the names of various hotels to which Henderson had dragged her. Having given her steward instruc- tions not to call her in the morn- 'ing she still was asleep when Bar- | bara stole into her cabin and hug- ged her awake. “Trenty darling,” she murmured, “I'm so happy.” Mrs. Trenton-Jones' eyelids flut- tered faintly, then she tried to re- sume her sleep, but, presently, raised herself. “Is that any excuse for waking me out of a perfectly good sleep?” she demanded. Then, with the memory of yesterday unpleasantly vivid in her mind, she added cross- ly, “Anyhow, you've no right to be happy.” Barbara opened her eyes and purred innocently, “But why?” And Cora Trenton-Jones launch- ed into a graphic and realistic de- seription of all she had suffered the previous day. Barbara was rocking herself to and fro with laughter. The older woman regarded her in a hurt and angry suemc {.ng an immense box of candy. Mrs. | Trenton-Jones considered that she needed it to help her withstand the shock of Barbara's announce- ment. She knew that she would be blamed for Barbara's latest esca- pade; the girl's relatives would be furious, asking how she could have let such a thing happen under her very nose. She " felt uncomiortably aware that she should have taken more interest in Barbara's affairs, but to do so would have necessitated en- argy and energy of any kind Cora ‘ Trenton-Jones deplored. Besides, she had not thotight Barbara in- terested in any man aboard unless it were the Britisher. | If only it had been the Britisher, she reflected bitterly. He, at least, had a title in the offing to ex- change for Barbara’s wealth. They could not have blamed her so much for that—but a penniless fellow in the orchestra . . . | Ralph Henderson’s face was a mottled red as he stood angrily chewing his under lip whilst he waited for the steward to with- draw. “What'’s this I hear about Bar- bara having married that saxo- phonist?” he burst out, directly the cabin door was closed. Mrs. Trenton-Jones sighed. She felt bette rafter a walnut cream. “I'm afraid it's true.” “Great Heavens!” he spluttered. “You sit there and tell me it's true. Sit there and calmly munch choco- Jlate creams.” P L | natur [thought it was all off.

But, by e, she was a peaceful woman, instead she began another piece lof candy. She was enjoying her- self for the first time in days. No man is worth dieting for,”| she thought to herself. 1 Aloud, she said, “Knowing Bar- ra as I do, it can’t possibly last.” “You don’t think so?” ‘Of course not.” appeared to be thinking, for he sat for some minutes on the end of her bunk pulling at Hhis mustache. Presently he said, “It might be worth trying.” “You see,” he explained, “I'd in-| vited Barbara on a house party and she'd accepted. When I first heard | of this—this tomfoolery of hers—I ask the fellow along too. Ought to sicken her of him quicker than anything, seeing him in constant | association with—well, with men! who are gentlemen, you know.
