1 1 SYNOPSIS: Barbara, deter- mined to learn the truth of Hendorson’s charges, goes to the building in which Rita has her apartment. Driven by despera- tion, she crawls up a fire-escape to a window of Rita’s suité. A few minittes later, Rita comes home and with her is—Ray. Barbara ic dazed by her discov- ery and ‘leaves her hiding place. When she returns to her taxi, however, the decides-to wait in the cab, confidenily expecting that Ray will soon leave the building. For two hours she kecps her lonely vigil and fin- ally goes home in despair. Ten |shoulder. finutes later, Ray leaves the building, having worked longer than wusual on a particularly difficult tune. EXIT—AN ENGLISHMAN ©On the drive home from the iron- |advance money on such a flimsy| feally futile vigil before Rita Gil-| Mhore's apartment, Barbara defi- nitely detided to marry Henderson. A sense of bitterly hurt pride| @rove het to this decision. She de- | elded on telephoning him the first thing 'in the morning. For the| femainder of the night she would | try to sleep. Bhe did try. She tried in a per- sistent, determined fashion. But, i spite of that she lay awake un-| til dawn. Eventually, when she did.sleep, a flightmare tormented her. Sudden- 1y she opened her eyes, immediately | ©0nscious that her telephone was ringing. Bhe picked up the receiver. _“That you, Barbara? It's your Uncle Henry. I'm coming right to the house. Must see you im- liately.” 8he felt more than surprised. Mr. Yandaveer Landon was an excep- fionally busy man. It was most| fihusual for him to honor his niece By a visit during an hour usually Feserved strictly for business. So fntent was she upon not keeping| Bim waiting that she complc(ely: forgot to telephone her decision to| ‘Henderson. Mr. Landon was pacing the sit- fing room when she finally came| down. { “Morning, Barbara. Can't y you | are looking well.” | Barbara smiled wanly. | “Late night,” she explained. “Been out with that fellow defson?” “Yes. Why?" | _/Her uncle cleared his throat.| ‘b\en in characteristic manner came | directly to the point i ““yWhat's all this I'm hearing of you and him?” “Barbara stiffened slowly to face him. “Meaning that we've been seen about a good deal together?” “No. I've just heard that you ;‘hnd divorcing Ray in order to| tgry him.” arbara’s eyes widened. Mr. | Tandon decided that, whatever she | fnténded doing, she didn't look too happy about it. | “Who told you that?” Barbara| #isked wonderingly. “I only decided it myself last night.” “That 50?” Mr: Landon paced the clirpet once more. “Then there's! Béen some fishy business going on,} my dear, and I think you'd bette: hear of it.” | As he spoke he threw himself| @own into the only rocking-chair. | “It’s like this. Yesterday a fel- 16w, name of Freeman, called into my office—he arranges for loans or those In need of financial as- | $istance. After he'd hemmed and hawed for several minutes he in-| ilred, as discreetly as possible, | what truth there was in the rumor | that my niece intended to divorce| her present husband to marry; Ralph Henderson. Then he told me, after I had bamboozled him into it} that the fellow had been obtaining| Joans from him on that understand- | ““You mean—that Hendy's been! ficwinx money on the strength of Hen- | | and turned] Tying me?” Barbara's voice was| one gasp of amazement. Her uncle nodded.

How contemptible to borrow money with the intention lof eventually paying it back out of | hers! She remembered how repeatedly he had sneered at Ray for the | method he chose to make his live- | 1ihood, How, under the circumstances, had he dared criticize Ray? For |the first time Ray's desire for in-| | deperidence appeared commendable | ad of annoying in her eyes. Mr. Landon awkwardly patted her | “There, there, my dear, it must have been a nasty shock to you,” his voice was purposely gruff to | disguise the tenderness behind it “Damnably unpleasant business.” “But uncle, surely they wouldn't| proposition?” | “They seem w unave. And I've no’doubt he made out a good case. There are always gamblers willing to risk money on & chance of some presentable fellow carrying off some heiress with whom he is known to be frequently associated.” Her anger had passed. Her chief emotion was amazement at the ef-j frontery of the man. Suddenly, noticing a vase of mauve orchids, she burst into a mirthless laugh. #1 suppose even those orchids were eventually to be paid for out of my money!” Then, a moment Ray would have died rather than have done such a thing!” The last remark had slipped out of her unconsciously. Immediately she regretted it, hoping that her uncle would let it pass without com~ ment. But he didn't. “Your mention of your husband, Parbara, brings me to a point about which I have been meaning to speak to you. You've decided upon getting a divorce? She nodded, staring straight ahead of her down at the carpet,! as though there was some mystic writing on it she was trying to de- cipher. “On what grounds?” | “Incompatibility, I think.” Not even to her uncle could she bring herself to tell of Ray’s seem- ing unfaithfulness. “Well, that’s up to you, Barbara. | C: y that I thought much of 2ay, myself.
