Ray insists, however, that he must make his own liv- g by writing jazz compositions ‘and playing in an orchestra. Ralph Henderson, an English- ‘man with an eye on Barbara's Yortune, is chagrined by her marriage but lays a clever plot %o separate her. from Ray. He Invites them both to a house- party where, hé hopes, Barbara will be-disappointed in her hus- ®and and grasp the opportunity ‘of marrying Henderson’s pros- Wective title—and debts.

You know I've invited the guests by wireless.” “What else could I do but accept for both of us?” Barbara remarked later to Ray. “I'd forgotten it completely until that moment. Bit of a blow to my pride the way | Henry's taken it. I was vain enough to think he'd be furious.” “He’s too clever to be furious,” Ray remarked under his breath. That same afternoon, just before the boat docked at Southampton, Len Hickson found Ray packing in their cabin. “I hear you're leaving us” the little banjoist remarked, “and I can’t say that I blame you. A man would be a mutt to work when there’s no need for him to do so. Lucky devil, you!” Ray felt his temper rising. “You're wrong about my not working, Len. I am going to work and work hard.” Len laughed derisively. “I guess your chief work will con- sist in keeping the other men off Baby Millions. No harm meant, sonny,” he added hastily. “Didn't mean to speak disrespectfully of the wife. Fine girl, I'm sure, but if -|¥ou don't see to it that youre in clover the rest of your life, you're a bigger fool than I think you are. Ray muttered something between his teeth: he saw the futility of arguing with Len and, as soon as possible, he left him and went up -on deck. quhchopegntmxorllewj minutes' peace and quietness, but, no sconer had he stepped out of the passageway than he heard Bar- bara's name mentioned. “Did you hear that Barbara Lan- jdon’s married that young saxo- | phonist?” one woman’s voice was saying. “Of course, my dear,” another re- plied. “Amusing, isn't it? They say he hasn't a cent to his name |but she has more than enough for both of them. And I guess that a penniless husband is a little lux- ury that Barbara Landon is well able to afford!” They both laughed and passed on down the deck while Ray stobd motionless, his hands clenched by his sides. So that was how they regarded him! As a luxury—a lux- ury Barbara was able to afford! He would have to get used to comments such as that, he told himself bitterly. Comic, wasn't 1t? He, Ray Lowther, regarded as a luxury; a lyxury husband. Sudden- ly as though he sow some ironical humor in the situ ‘isn, heé threw back his head and laush A week later were dining a: the Savoy hotel in London when suddenly Ray utvered an exclamation of surprise and half rose to his feet. “Why, if it isn't old Bill Foster over there! You remember the fel- low I told you about in Chicagd {who gave me my first chance in ‘e orchestra. This is great! I mukt rush over and have a wosd ith him.” “Where is he?” asked Barbara. “Over there at the piano . . . .

This she knew |to be unreasonable and mean, but {she could not help herself. “Any idea of taking a job over here, Ray?” Bill asked presently “I'd love to have you with us. One of our saxs hasn't been any too fit lately.” Ray laughed, a pleasant, excited laugh. “I wouldn’t be good enough for your bunch, Bill.” { “Forget it, you play a dandy saxo- ’phonc. You'd like it here. Three hundred a week and taking into consideration the private shows we play at, we're doing fine.” Ray was leaning across the table, his eyes shining, his attitude tense “Bill . . . . it would be wonder- g (oo A “Well, I'll let you know if there's| | anything doing—Been doing much | stuff of your own, lately, Ray?

" “Wouldn't what be great?” “To have my stuff tried out at a place like this! I'd even give a good deal to be standing up there and playing my old sax again now.” “You'd rather be playing in thel band than dancing with me?” she asked, & hurt note in her voice “Then, with a sudden vehemer “Oh, how I hate that old saxo- phone of yours!” He saw angry tears in her eyes and reached under the table for one of her hands. “You know, dear, I'd rather be with you.
