An old tag floated into Armitage’s mind, about all the world loving a jover. Mrs. Lodely was crooked)y smiling. “Well, 'm dashed!” She lit an- jother cigarette. “1 must say | lke @ man who speaks up for himself. Men used to, what's more, when | was a gel.” Incredibly, she was sim-, pering. “Look here, Farrell, if | lost my temper just now, forget it. And forget Barbara. She bas no thought in her head but Mark. She told you @s much, I'll: bet.” “Ob yes. She told me as much and more.” “Very well, then, that's settled.” Armitage took her nod as a dis- missal and escaped, though what it was that was settled he did not iow. A stupid woman and, added his caution, for that very reason @ dangerous and stubborn enemy. On the threshold of the big Grawing-room he collided with Poole. a “Lo@ely’s awake and asking for you,” said that innocent.. "1 went ‘up but I'm afraid 1 was rather a misfit.” He turned the misleading | candor of bis gaze upon Mrs. Lode ly, who at that moment issued forth from the inner room. “I say,” he announced, “I've just discovered that there’s a dog show on at Kern's: Are you too frightfunly busy, Mrs. Lodely, or—?” Armitage left him at it. Loyal Iad—Poole! Armitage went up to the bedroom that had been his own ‘It should be his again, too, by gad! (That was one thing he would stana jout for. If there was no decorator who could evolve a suitable bed: zoom for Mark, Mark could thun dering well s)~-> in the elevator. “Come in,” said the artist's voice. Armitage entered the bedroom. It was a big apartment but Mark i cleared a chair and sat down. “I don’t think you showed them to ae” “That was very remfss of mo,” said Mark at once. “I'll see that’ ft doesn’t tappen again.” Armitage opened his lips--and closed them. “You are under no obligation whatever,” he sald carefully, “to appoint me censor of your work, As to your assumption that I'm buying authority over you by of- fering you a chance to make good— well, it’s rather an unfriendly as- sumption, isn’t it?” Mark Ustened to bim with ap arently deep attention. “But I thought we agreed when ‘J came that we were not friends,” he said. tion Armitage re- lark’s thin, cool “Now you ere offended ie assume that if it is not liking for ‘me, It fs a Nking to be the patron. ‘Well, if it’s from neither of weaknesses that you invited me here, why ist?” Tt was Mark's faint aura of en- Joyment that betrayed him. Armt- tage was positive that Mark guessed the nspring of bis hopes. More the mainspring he vmight never trouble to discover, so, sure be was of Barbara, “Why are you doing anything at all for me, Armitage?” First the mother, now the son! \Baddenly Armitage realized that It jmattered not a whit whether the | pair of them knew the fall extent of {his bargain with Barbara. Armitage ‘permitted himself to show enjoy- ment also. |_ “What amuses you" demanded | Mark, off his guard. “The idea of your amusing your ;melf with me!" returned Armitage and continued to grin at him. i voles went o1—- THE ARTMAN PRIN PHONE 51 Armitage, and one day 1 suppose; you may be, you'll find you want to | hit the man who makes you appear | ridicnlous in her eyes.” | “Very possibly, But the weman | I love"—he said it quite deliber- | ately—“may find she prefers me to | the other after all.” “You know you ought to discuss | your idea of love with Barbara, | She’s great-on discussion. Always digging up love and haying a look at it and planting it in a different Place, And™then she wonders why | it doesn’t flourish.” i “Speaking of Miss Quentin, are j; you quite determined not to answer | her wire?” “I never correspond with any- | body and she knows it,” said Mark j and glanced at his breakfast-tray, j untouched beside his bed. ! {nyoluntarily Armitage’s eyes fol- lowed his, and fell. apon an en- velope that had not been opened. “Mark Lodely, Esq., care of Farrell Armitage.” “You've made absolutely no | breakfast, Ludely.” “I had no appetite.” Armitage forced his,glance away ~—and the first thing it encountered was another unopened letter upon | the mantelpiece. He supposed that | it ‘had arrived yesterday, He lost | Control a little and said— “Shouldn't someone—Mrs. Lodely or—or myself—sefid Miss Quentin a line? She may be anxious about you.” “Write by all means, Mother won't if she can dodge it. And ‘by the way, I've had a-good idea. Why shouldn’t Barbara cote up here | | and fit up that studio that you're | kindly giving me? “It would be | ® charity on your part to give her the Job,” ‘Ife an excellent {doa,” Farrel sald and, turning to face Mark agaif, surprised a look of childish frastration. “Perhaps you'll make clear,” be added, “when you suggest it to Miss Quentin that Melavie’s scheme can be scrapped or used as a basis tor ‘the new one, just as she’thooses,” “Malavie! Do you mean ‘to say shat you have had a studio designed by Malavie?” “Yes, and a bedroom adjoin- ing. But I've already told him. that 41 didn’t ‘think you would ifke the result.” “Malavie!” gasped Mark. “Good God, Armitage, I'm afraid you've thrown away ap enermous sum of money. You se2, Malavie’s is the super-scene painter in a limelight world, Of course,” added Mark ‘Kindly, “a Malavie studio might be ‘useful as a ‘stunt’.

It eased the tension a little. | “Oh yes,” went on Mark, “I sold some sketches last night to a fat woman named Constantia J. Jacob son.

And it is almost unbeliev- traordinary, unprecedented infla- ition of land values during that Sounder condition than any other time, such progress could have been made in the way of recovery as has been made. Qn Dec, 31, 1925, the desposits of the banks of Florida amounted to one billion dollars. The pub- lished statements of the banks on Sept. 30, 1932, showed that these deposits had been deflated to two hundred million dollars. The amount of deflation, to wit, eight hundred million dollars, is an amount of money greater than the total deposits of all the banks of any state in the south not except- ing Texas. And yet the publish- ed statements of the banks of this state of Sept. 30, 1932, showed them ‘to be in healthier and more liquid condition, having more cash as compared to deposits, than the banks of any other state. If there had been in the United States as a whole a comparable deflation of bank deposits, there would have been a reduction of from ‘sixty bil-} lions of bank deposits to twelve billions. Had such been the cise there would not have been a bank left in the country.

But contrast conditions now, especially in the south, with what they were at the close of the desolation, and destruction every- where. It seemed as if the south could never recover.
