He fol- lowed her up the steps and into the eat stone mansion that had hous- cd the Landons for three successive generations. She led him upstairs. He fol- lowed her mutely, not knowing where she was leading him.

She essayed a desperate laugh. “Don't look so dramatic, Ray— and sit down!” He seated himself on the chise lounge, a slender thing, gold with absurd pink taffeta cushions. He seated himself gingerly as though in the past months he had become unaccustomed to the boudoir of a lady of fashion. “What is it you want, Barbara?" Then, casting her pride to the {wind and throwing her cards on the | table with the. reckless impulsive- ness that was Barbara, she spoke, her voice growing husky. “It's you I want, Ray . . . Oh,| my dear, I've wanted you every minute you've been away!” He started, overwhelmed by what seemed to him the unfairness of her attack. . . . He tried to rise but now she was beside him on the lounge, her arms holding him down. “You wouldn't leave me now, Ray? Not after what happened to- night? Oh, my dear, I couldn't bear it.
