SYNOPSIS: Enraged by the realization that their friends know he is powerless to protest against Barbara’s violent flirta- tion with Henderson, Ray de- termines to take a decisive step. Henderson leaves their apart- ment for a visit in Boston, hop- ing the strained relations be- tween Barbara and Ray will reach a crisis in his absence. And Ray deliberately plays into Henderson’s game. He bluntly tells Barbara he cannot con- tinue his present existence, he has quit his job in her uncle’s office, intends to make his own living—and that he is lea her! Chapter 23 “THOSE GRIEVIN’ BLUES” Barbara's face went hot with sudden anger. Ray was calmly tell- ing her he was leaving! At last she spoke. It's that rotten old pride of yours again. Anyhow you've got your independence. Aren't you working in my uncle's office?” He threw back his head and laughed a sarcastic laugh that sounded foreign on Ray’s lips. “Independence? It's a joke. Why the $35 I earn each week would- n't support me a day in the style you maintain!” She could not keep back a hurt cry. “Ray, what's made you so bitter? Don't you care for me any more?” He turned away from her so that she might not ‘see the tortured look in his eyes. “Look at me, don’t you love me?” She laid a hand upon his arm. “I do—that's the worst of it.” “Then, if you do—if you care enough . X “8top,” he cried suddenly angry, and he pushed her hand roughly stand.

She said, with a sort of, choking cry. “Get out, Ray. Get out before you make me hate you more thn.n I do already. ~You've a perfect right to leave me but you've no right to stand there torturing me as you're doing now!"” That night a distraught Ray paced up and down in his room, miserably going over the whole! scene in his mind. Wretchedly he wondered how he managed to make ' such a mess of things. His intention had been to discuss the whole situation sensibly. Instead |he had bungled it, hopelessly, ir=! |reparably. Now, in all probabil- | ity he had sacrificed her love, pre- ! {vented all possibility of a future reconciliation. | His last glimpse of Barbara tor- itured him. The memory of the forlorn droop of her shoulders, the littleness of her in her short white evening gown, almost melted his resolution. A dozen times he open- down to her, But each time he realized: before he had reached the staircase that | such an actlon would mean re-| nouncing everything for which he! fought. It Wpuld mean giving in! to her entirely . . . all along the! line. Surely, he argued, if ;he loved him at all, e should. 8 the huthiliation ‘of his! present i tion and would wait until he Yelt entitled to claim her. In ‘an endeavor 'to distract Soon he found words' fitting them- selves in with the tune, words that seemed to have been born in his| brain without any effort on his| part. “I could not believe, from his arm. “I know all that you're going to say. The trouble with you, Barbara, is that you want me to sacrifice all along the line Love isn’t enough, Barbara. I've tried it and I've found that it isn't sufficlent compensation for the loss of one’s self-respect or for the sac- rifice of one's ambition.” Barbara had gone very white. She seemed to realize for the first time that she was up against some- thing serious. Presently she spoke, in a voice unusually humble for her. “But if I were to say that I wouldn't object to your writing “You wouldn't object?” he took her up sharply. “If I needed any. further convincing that would have| done it! You'd look upon my work| with amused toleration. It would never enter your head, would it, to be proud of my profession?” His tone made her angry. “I said I wouldn’t object. You can hardly expect me to go into ecs- tasies as though it were an emi- nently suitable means of livelihood for you!” The pause was significant. “You see, Barbara,” he said life- lessly, all the fire now gone out of him, “you will never be'able tb. grasp my point of view. I'm sor- ry. There's nothing morei to be}; said.” She turned away from him qulok- ly. . She was a fool, she told her- self, but she wanted desperately t0, throw her arms about him and beg him to tell her it was all a hide~ | derstand his wanting to leave her ous nightmare. She could rot‘un= solely for the reasons he had given. He turned towards her with-a sudden, pleading gesture. “I didn't mean for us to hurt each other as we're doing, Bar- |bara. I wanted to talk it over sen- sibly and make you understand that I didn't intend my leaving you to be final.” “No?” “No. I meant it only as a tem- porary measure until I had made good. Bubconsciously, Barbara, you will never be able to respect me juntil T've proved my metal. I hoped, later, when I'd succeeded,] that )oud let me come back to you . . “And in the meantime,” she in- terrupted sharply, “I'm to await your lordship’s pleasure? You seem to forget that there are other men in the world . . . " “I don't, dear. If you find some- one in the meantime that you care |for, you're to consider yourself jus- tified in divorcing me.” {sat’ huddled in an armchair, But this she considered the last’ That I could ever yrieve But I've got those' grievin' Grievin’ 'eause I'm leavin’ blues. | I may go away, But I'll be back some day, With those grievin’, leavin’, ' grievin’ blues. “I'm singing, ‘Wind, wind, Blow my grievin’ blues away.

She had been thinking how, at times, your very love for a.person makes you more | capnble of misunderstanding them, of burting them. Suddenly she raised her head and listened incredulously. Could it | be Ray ‘playing his saxophone, pla; at a time like this? As the notes became louder, more detinite, she sprang to her feet with & ‘choked cry ‘of heartache and rage,"beating one clinched fist against the palm of her hand. Of all that she had endured from him that night, this seemed the final in-: sult! How little he must feel their parting if he could play jazz in this' brazen manner right in her very Home! Bhe' tonceived in that moment an intense’ hatred for that saxophone of his, almost as though it had been human. She longed to lay her hands on it, to break it, to smash it to bits. She had a fan- tastic notlon that it was at the root of ‘the’ whole awful misunder- standing. She stood there, straining her ears to listen, wilfully torturing herself. Each note seeming like a knife thrust, she was almost con- scious of actual physical pain, She endured it, how long she did hot know, her nerves ragged, until the telephone bell rang out shrilly, momentarily drowning the jazz iabove her. (Copyright, Dial Press) A telephone call definitely marks the parting for Barbara and Ray. Continue the story to- morrow.
