Farrel 75 Barbara’s love FE that tin Mime? ager —* vi ut aimost married, is aiding him—perhaps because of some past connection with Mark. Icila has brought the actress Patsy Raoul to witness Mark's arrivat at Farrell’s house. She asks Farrell if he is the patnter. Chapter 21 THE LODELYS ARRIVE RMITAGE, taking a thin hand, looked down into an ugly face with no redeeming feature save its vivacity. Patsy Raoul was swarthy and snub-nosed, her eyes were small and her mouth large, all her fea- tures a little awry as though one- half of her face did not quite match the other. Armitage sensed a strong personality, whether hostile to his type or not he could not be sure. “Do I look like the genius, Miss Raoul?” “You do not it. But then—me! I look like not anything but perhaps @ gargle. Yes. As you may sce them under an old church-roof. Yet T am a great, a unique genius who all I dee-sire must have.” She flicked a finger and thumb at Farrell’s two wirehaired terriers, who responded with all the quiver- ings, nose-pushings apd tail-rap- pings known to canine etiquette. “Ah, Mr. Farrell Armitage, you be dee-lighted these two to me Bive for last night?” “Last night?” ‘ “Farrell has probably never seen ? you act and even more probably neyer will,” put in Leila, She leaned in the doorway faintly smil- ing, very smooth and sleek and golden-brown. In accidental clash with her friend she was dressed in a deeper red, but it was, strangely enough, her softer colors that struck, the false note—not Miss Raoul’g scarlet... . “Then, these animals the more eem-possible to me refuse,” decided the actress. “If you will not pay to come to the thee-ater you must pay because you come not.” | Her ugly grin drew an answering gleam from Armitage. | “Has anyone ever refused you anything, Miss Raoul?” “Yes, one. And he died.” “Then Lam evidently a very brave man.” Patsy Raoul’s grin twisted, and under her dark skin a red tide well- ed, With a quick flicker of move- ment she produced a card from her ecariet Pochette and a jewelled pen- aT box for this night,” she eried, | n ‘I will you eom-barrass. If you see not me act I think you feel anger of me. If you then give these animals, ‘I shall think ‘you feel fear of me. If jyou give me not anything I think you feel love of me. Well, brrrave ‘man?” What was she—French? Ger-| ‘man? No, Armitage thought nei- ‘ther. And who had certainly cor nered him. ... He put up his hands 4n surrender and she thrust the card into his breast-pocket, } “You won't make any impression jon Farrell,” said Leila. “I asked ‘him to marry me only the other day jand he retused.”, | “But I would not permit ‘No’ for \him to say it!” cried Miss Raoul. “It fis only that he has a little caprice—" “At this juncture a merciful in- ‘terruption saved our hero from the embarrassment that threatened to suffocate him,” murmured Armitage, ‘moving into the hall, 4 Through the glase panels on el- ther slde.ot the door he had seek arrival of the Lachisse, His but- Jer and a footman appeared, as by |telepathy, from tle back of the house, the door was opened and the ‘chauffeur was observed assisting jthe square form of Mrs. Lodeiy td ‘the pavement. Armitage ran down to meet her. “It's really very nice of you to jeome at such short notice,” he said. |When she had done laughing he add- led: “Let Gaffen take your dress- ‘ing-case. He'll see to all your lug- age. Is your son with you?” / “You bet he is. Mark!" She whouted it over her shoulder, as though he were still in Kings Mal Jard. When there came no response ‘whatever from the heap of rugs in- wide the sedan, she laughed again. “The run bas been a bit long for him, I dessay,” she offered by way ef explanation. “P’raps someone’ll ‘help him out.” At @ nod from Armitage his ger- ‘Yants approached the car and Armi- Peeeeneganoneeeonoosas: tage entered his house with the lady, She was in her noisiest mood. The; introduction of Miss Raoul had to be effected fortissimo, and the ac-'| tress face was a study asehe waited in vain for a lull in which to express ber pleasure at the meeting. As for the terriers, they scuttled up the staircase and disappeared into the peaceful upper regions of the house. | “Got up with the early birds this | mornin’,” enthused Mrs. Lodely, “Always have to allow an extra hour for Mark, y’know, half an hour in ease anythin’ unexpected hap- peng to him!” Armitage felt Gaffen at his side, “Mr. Lodely, sir, from the car without your assist- ance.” “Mine? Can't Michfield and Thomas tackle his weight between them?” “Easily, I should have said, sir, Or I offered my own shoulder. But | Mr. Lodely is quite insistent, sir, that no one but yourself’shall touch him.” Armitage hesitated, His instinct was to ignore this whim, since it tle egomaniac, he ought to be kick- ed! But, of course, one couldn't kick @ cripple. On the. physical plane Armitage supposed, one conldn’t logically refuse a cripple anything. Mrs. Lodely, hurling the small Raoul, broke off to glance some- what anxiously at the car. Armitage went down to it again. “What's up, Lodely?” He had put his head right tato the sedan for only the faintest | movement had come from his guest. for a etudied languor, arched eye- brows and a good deal of “tempera- ment,” was confused by .the fact that Mark was not actually visible gt all. Then the rugs moved again and Armitage, peering, found him | Prostrate upon the eushions. “Very unconvincing, isn’t it?” murmured Mark, “But I'm afraid 1 Really do get heart attacks from ex- citement; and I really do have to be lifted in a special way. Generally, Barbara supervises it.” Armitage, genuinely shocked by the white lips, the twitching eyelids and the panting breath, could only beg to be shown how this [ting was to be attempted. Mark pantingly explained. “But, of course, if you don’t think you have the strength,” he added, “T can just stay here until I’m able to sari of myself. Then I shall only @ to hold by crutch. spacious sg of'your servants could manage | that, I’m sure.” “Just clear this floor, Michfleld, will you?” asked Farrell. Mark was eased off the seat and disposed on a rug while Armitage | walked round to his setond position. Then came the real pull on his muscles. He succeeded mainly be cause he felt it was imperative that | he should succeed. Slowly, like an | overladen beast, with Mark's full weight upon him, he mounted the steps and carried Mark into the | house. “Brute force,” he heard Mark murmur. admire it.” Armitage looked at him sharply but Mark had apparently tainted, Mrs. Lodely was insistent that no doctor need be summoned, “He goes into these faints and if he comes out of ‘em again.” She did |} mot even moderate her tones over the patient’s unconscious form, “It He feels a bit queer afterwards | he might like a drop of ‘brandy. | D’you say you've got an elevator, Farrell?” “Just like Mark,” said Lelia. Mark had been laid on a couch in the hall ana she sat upon the edge of it. With an abrupt movement she pushed back a lock of hair that ‘Straggled over his forehead. Armi- tage saw that she was pale under { she ; her rouge. “Clever Mark!” added, to no one in particular, ‘There was a moutent’s pause, and | then Mark violently sneezed. “Ah, 2-2-0!" Miss Raoul screeched out her mirth and then blew a sec- ond cloud of smoke into the pale face on the couch. “Sit!” she com- manded brutally, as to a performing seal. “YoOare perhaps one day the genius here, 1 am already today it.” And, as Mark opened resentful eyes—“No, you preetond even not so very well. You know that I am Patsy Raoul.” (Copyright, 1932, Julia Clest-tddams) Mark is entangied, tomorrow, in @ first-rate ‘quarrel, THE ARTMAN PRESS PRIN PHONE 51 LE ETE Ed Tanda ehh TING IN THE CITIZEN BLDG. for his lameness and half an hour | he doubts | whether he ean venture to move ; could be nothing more.
