MONDAY, JANUARY 2, 1938. ees ccessopes: 1999000 09990000000900900008000000000098 &YNOPSIS:) Barbara Quentin's fance, the aifted and cruel Mark ely, docs not know that Bar- bara has bargained with Farrell Armitage that Farrel have year im which to make her Jove hime Mark has already arranged to go to Armitage’s house im Lon- don the day he and Barbare were to be married. Farrell has agreed to try to cure Mark’s iameness, and to launch him as au artist. Farrell's ds Leila Cane, the irt he would have married had fe not fallen tn love with Barbara 4 hae Barbara has gone to ece ‘ark, Chapter 19 MARK'S PLAN Ve exclaimed Barbara. who usually at this hour vocal himself a dressing- gown, was in dress-clothes, the the perfection of exactitude, delicately *, pleated shirt and pearl cufflinks, Only his cruteh was the crutch of common every-day and even that managed to enhance his good looks and give appeal] to his halting prog- ress. “What, in heaven's name, has got you?” “I thought I'd have a dress-pa- rade,” said Mark, “A chap like Armi- tage gets himself up like this every night, you know, Has to, or his friends might forget what a perfeet jittle gentleman he is. Only, his jothes fit him most excellently well nd this whole thing’s wrong. HM was a foc' not to see it at once,” He made his way to Barbara’s chair id sank into it. Barbara came swiftly across the room and caught, the crutch as he let it sway towards her. (He still had not met*her eyes). “Armitage, of course, will expeet the sort of get-up they wear im “La Bohéme’—velvet coat -and soft shirt open at the throat and dove- grey trousers, strapped under the instep. God, shan't I look @ fool! "But, after all, he’li be paying for it.” Mrs. Lodely, not, knowing whether o take thir seriously or not, foend efuge in irrelevant suprise: “Well, I don’t snow-I always think vet looked nice in fancy D’you remember that time Pia Cane took you to an Albert Hall carnival or somethin’ up in London and you were an old man with a barrel-organ and she was a ‘sypsy-dancer in green chiffon, chained to your wrist? You ought to have had a prize, I thought, goin’ all that way. And I remember after- wards I asked her if she enjoyed herself and she said no, she hadn't particularily.” ~ “Strange!” mused Mark, faintly smiling, “! remember that I enjoyed myself, quite.” Barbara, still holding the crutch, still looxing at him, began absurdly to tremble, She knew that when her trembling passed into her hand the crutch would begin to rattle on the floor and Mark would turn his faint, dreadful smile upon her. She saw his smile as through an emerald mist; sensed, for a moment, how lightly the jewel had lain upon flesh that was smooth and bare, .. ‘The crutch was tap-tapping; an ir- sitating, intrusive rhythm, “Oh, thank you,” said Mark po Jitely. He took the crutch from her shaking hands, slowly and painfully Jifted it across his knees and propped it up next to him, against the man-, telpiece, “Thank you. L oughtn’t to. have troubled you to hold it.” Mrs. Lodely had returned to the fire. “It we do go up to stay with Mr, Armitage I s'pose both of us’ll need @ bit of smartenin’.” “Wait till we're at Brandish Place and I'll get clothes from Armitage.” “My dear boy, he’s not goin’ to keep us in clothes and pocket-money Just because he’s asked us to come and spend a few days with him! jAnd besides you can’t take money from a stranger—it’s thunderin’ bad ‘form.” “Oh, but I’m expected to dehave jbadly, my Judy. Really he'll be"cha- ‘grined if 1 don’t. Besides, 4 shail ‘Jest have got married to Barbara. iLarge hearted he-men like Armitage ‘mever refuse a little pecuniary as- wpistance to a weaker brother on his wedding-day.” There was a pause. Then Mrs, Lodely leapt gladly ito the breach, “There, now, | told Babs you could get married on Thursday just as ar ranged, if you did it before we start for Town! I'm sure if you do it first ‘thing on Thursday Babs'll be quite satisfied, won't you Babs?” “Has Barbara been dissatisfied be eause I haven't married her nae “Now you know well enough never meant anythin’ Ike that! " protested Mrs. Lodely, as she heaved | herself to her feet and, announcing loudly that she would see about some supper, got herself out of the j room. As the door clashed shut behind her, Mark’s head fell forward. His lips were white and his whole frame twitched sharply. In an instant Bar- bara was kneeling by his side, her arm across }"; shoulders, the other hand seeking to hold him up. “Lean back, Mark. It’s all right, £ have you safe. Lean back, dear.” An anguish shook her heart. Oh, | to have the power of a man like Farrell Armitage! Not only his wealth but his sureness, his single his strength, nervous and physieal—to be abje to pick Mark up and carry him out into the sunshine that was bis by every right. His eyelfis finttered just as she began to think that she must call Judy to bring a stimulant. She had perhaps framed the name, for Mark whispered “I don’t want ber. She makes such a row. Keep her away for a little longer.” “Poor dear Judy!” She bent til) her face rested against his head | “She’s rather a wonderful mother, really.” “She might be if she didn't make such @ woise about it. One reason } shall always need you, Barbara, is that you are my tranquillity.” Incredible happiness to hear him murmur; that. Incredible happinese to feel bis weight against her shoul der, his Janguid hands ander hers. 4 tide of peace washed up over the conflict of her thoughis and the world went empty of everything but Mark and herself and his need of her. White ash powdered and fell from the burning log into the fire, .. Never his, You're mine, Don't you Know it? © Every nerve in her leapt, startled. Someone had spoken in her ear? Be- fore she could stop herself her head had jerked up and round, her eyes ° raking the shadows of the room. | ‘Don’t you know it? Tt echoed in her ears--no, not in her ears, ip ‘her mind. Farrell Armitage was speaking in her mind—and her mind had responded with instant reeog- nition! A muffled exclamation from Mark as ber violent movement shifted his head smartly to the chair-back. “Barbara! And I calied you tran- quilt” > She mage no plea for forgiveness. She withdrew ber arm from him and, stumbling to her feet, peered about her. “My darling beautiful, is there a 7” “No. Yes.” She was panting. “1 thought I heard—Did you hear a voice say—something?” His eyes were so bright, so amused, that she almost believed he could read her secret, What i* all that had passed last night were spread before him, like a book? What if the miles between this house and | that other new one were uncounted, mere walls of glass? _ “The wedding is to be at nine, Barbara, instead of twelve. After which, my girl, you'll come‘aboard. the plutocrat’s car with us and stay at Brandish Place, too. He won't mind, He'll probably like it—I should say he’s the kind that rather enjoys having a pretty creature hanging upon his every word. It’s futile to toil when you can wallow. Besides—” the gleam in his eyes deepened, but not because of her— “besides, there may be no need for toil any more. I've g t Armitage.” “What do you mean?” “Don’t snap. You've a beantiful voice and you should alwaye speak slowly and beautifully, ...1 mean that when a big monied brute tike that thinks he'll patronize art with @ capital 4 the rest is easy, Oh, f know a lot of these rich louts get sick of their protegés and drop them, but if you look into it you'll | find that the protegés asked for it, | all right. When I geteto Brandish Place I shall-ask nothing for my own sake but everything for the sake of Art, “So that {fs all settled,” he yawned. “And we shall have a ‘honeymoon after all, Barbara, but under the millionaire's roof.” “Not “When do we marry, then, if at all?” “Not for at least a year.” He only smiled, (Copyright, 1932, Julia Cleft-Addamey Into the tangle, tomorrow, comes the electri Patsy Raoul, THE ARTMAN PRESS PRIN PHONE 51 SeOTOTTTETETETATE Ee: | SUBSCRIBE FOR THE CITIZEN—20e WEEKLY | BLL ISIVZIIIIIII IIIS.
