And there she sat, found at jest, his destiny woven into the pearly silks at her breast—there she sat and insujted hi as grossly as he Aad ever been insulted; rated bim lower than any man, woman or beast had ev - rated him yet. “You ignorant, conceited, hovely Uttle fool!” he added; still in bis most civil tones. “ ‘Barbar’ — doesn’t the name mean a barbarian, @ stranger? .Yoy are only a bar darian evidently, strange to the ‘ways of real mep and women, What @ lot J am to teach you about ifort” He saw her facd flame and whiten, He went on, choosing ‘his words, placing hi: blows. He was not in the least sorry for her—{t was Mark be wag hitting throngh her, by her own choice, It had to be. “You see, such a lot of beauty ts offered to any man,” he told her “any wealthy man, 1 mean, with Teasonable health and an ordinary appearance. {t would sicken you if ‘ 1 were to describe to you one-half of the number of beautiful women who have been willing to make their bargains with me. It would sicken you and, because you're a Dditnd little smal).town bat, you'd think { was boasting, whereas | should simply be dispensing with mock modesty. ... So we'll take the. dist as read and--refrain from add- ing your name to it.” She criea out: “Because 1 was—stupid there’s Bo need for you to be brutal!” “On the contrary, there 19 every need. You're very stropg, you pay Barbara, end {t can only be strength I'm to release you pins Mark. Mark! Take your mind off him for @ moment, your - whole mind. Push ‘hits “aside fora’ very few minutes and stand up to me as @ free womar a8! am a free man, “When 1 atrike at your pride and your beauty,” he went on, “strike back at my weakness and my pas- sion—I'm not a cripple, you. know, or an old woman, or an influent client. I'm your equa) in strength; in some ways, I'm to be—your mag ter; in others your servant. But Just now we're ehemies—so stand ~ hag me, you little slacker, and er” : She had struggled to her feet in her first furious amazement; but it seemed to him that he bad plucked her out of her chair as he had Plucked her back from the truck ‘wheels in that far-off time that was not six hours ago. She faced him across four feet Of unstained floor, a piece of old > carpet, and the emerald she had for gotten. Yes, at last she had forgot- ten Mark. ... Armitage, using her » anger as a key tc lock Mark ont, proceeded to make her angrier still, “You gopld + hart .me,, Barbare Prenaene you knew how, just. ean ‘ou. Wellé learn bow’ hart me, ha ha We shall » often desire to hurt each. other. * Perpetual pity, you know, is got @ Dracing state of mind, Pou've pitied teo much, you've lost tone, you've gone to sleep emotionally, you wept over Mark, you were a mother who had lost a child. Now you're @ woman who {s most in tensely loved. Well?” Ho waited, He saw her swallow convulsively At last— “You may say all that you have to say, Mr. Armitage, and them you'll leave this house—my house and Mark's.” “Better!” he approved. “There's ~@ savagery under that. Once you feel definitely that you hate me, "ve made a start. ; ‘ou flatter yourself there, 1 @on't hate you for what you've been saying t6 me. & tate you only be- cause you have it in your power to give Mark health and happiness and fame, “You actually have it in your power and instead of doing it you quibble and moralize about the na- ture of my love for him! 1 didn’t know—I didn’t dream that anything as ungenerous as you could exist!” “Better and better! That’s real- ly @ very good dig because it has shown me up to myseif. I’m almost sorry that I can counter it.” “How?” “By agreeipg to do all those things for Mark.” She took aa upeertain step back- wards. He thonght she swayed a little and he stood ready to catch her. She stared at him, her eyes wide and fixed. “You mean that?” “Certainly 1 mean it! Of course, 1 can’t promise you health and sue- cess for him as if they were a penny’s worth of candy. But I'l) do wey utmost, And you, in return” He paused and saw the terror darken in her eyes, “No, no,” ho said gently, “You've lived too long among half-shadows and hidden meanings and iord knows what, Real life isn’t a bit like that... , 1 want you, in return for my willingness to remode) Mark, to promise me that you won't marry him, well or il), for a year at least.” “In a year, will he be well?” “That's for the doctors to say; but probably in @ year it will be clear what kine of a life ean be made for him” For a moment she was eitent; then she burst out passionately with: “How can | understand you? at for Mark? Whether they're suc: cessful or not, I shel marry him, What do you get?” “You.” “T've told you-rand told you-- why should I want to marry you? Ever?” “Because when Mark’s well, mak- ing money, evjoying himself, you’l! De spirit-free, You'll be free to choose your man, and You'll choose me, fm a sounder choice than even a rich, famous, cheerful Mark, and you'l! know ft.” “Well, will you give moe that year” She did sway, now, and he caught her. She lay against his shoulder for the second time thet day and “Give me that year?” “Yes,” She made no effort to escape bis arm and he quietly held her. “Very well. And on Thursday } start work on Mark. And now I'l) take you back to Kings Mallard.” He felt her shake her head. “No, 1 want to stay here.” “As you please,” * He drew the wooden chair towards into it. She gat ay though vereft of atrength; nevertheless, he thongnt there was a faint disappointment in the set of her lips and pe laughed Onge more, but this time silentiy, “As you please,” he repeated. He | stooped, picked up the emerald and held it out to her. Wher any kind of farewell, he left ber.

He kept his watch over ner and believed that she knew it. Between five and six o'clock got out of the car, stamped riety ' upon the stubs of his many ciga- rettes and drove quietly back to Kings Mallard.

MILIAN) j | Well boys, Roy Hamlin is back | as fight promoter which means that we ought to see some dandy ,Scraps this season, f i Roy, a true lover of all sports, ‘has arranged an all-star card for the opening night which will be} Friday night December 30 at the jAthletic Club. There will be 42 |rounds of real scrapping divided ia ithe following manner: | Four 8 rounders, one 6 and one, will appear in this show. Ed Wagner, a ‘North Carolina lad, who got his first boxing lesson in Key West with Billy West, wil} j be seen in one of the feature bouts jagainst ome of Florida’s toughest | welters, Young Russell of Tampa, !* jbetter known as the “Palmetto Panther.”- In the next 8 round} feature, Willie Norwood, once picked by Jack Dempsey as the best {prospect for a lightweight cham- pion in Florida, will battle Young} | Figueredo, the local flash who has | been going great guns in Miami all jthe year. Joe Bacardi, who calls West Palm Beach his home, will trade ;punches with Felix Gonzalez, a ljoeal southpaw, who has won the jadmiration of many Miami ring fans. When last seen in a ring ithese two boys staged a great scrap. In the other of the 8 round bout: |Maxio Santana. a sweet little fight- ing lad, will try his young stamina with that of Young Fer- nandez, a veteran of many ring jbattles, Santana is in good condi- tion and should give his older op- ponent plenty to worry about. Bobby Waugh and Young Pelican will meet again. This will | probably be their hundredth meet- ing in 4 local ring. Somehow the promoter feels the crowd will be disappointed without their appear- ance. They are scheduled to swing hay makers for 6 rounds, As a curtain raiser, Promoter Hamlin has booked a couple of darkies to scrap 4 rounds, Joe Mills yersus Al Curry. These boys will furnish the fans with some , |real action while they are wajting for the other boys. Mr. Hamlin’s intentions are to bring back the fight game and feels that the only way to do this is to igive the public their money’s worth and this very thing is being done in his first show this year. Forty- jtwo rounds of classic boxing i |being offered for a price that will suit anyone’s pocketbook, depres- |sion or no depression, this show is fw orth triple the amount that will | be eharged.
