Chapter 36 UNWANTED GUEST ERE y’are, miss,” said the taxi-driver. Barbara got reluctantly. out, dis- missed the cab and stood at a loss in fromt of Farrell Armitage’s house. It was evident that there was merry-making within. The house was brilliantly lighted. Barbara gripped her suitcase firmly and at- tacked the front door. “Mr. Armitage?” “Mr. Armitage is not at home, madam.” She had put down the suitcase and pow suddenly wished that she could sit down on it. “Then I should like te see Mrs. Lodely.” A woman tn ¢ wonderful evening coat was talking to someone at the back of the hall, someone who gleamed and glittered and: who seemed faintly familiar to Barbara. How wonderfully these two were. dressed! Her own grey tweeds and the pretty scarf that had’ looked so charming on a railway journey now seemed merely dowdy. The foot man was eyeing her doubtfully, “Mrs. Lodely bag retired,* mad- am.” “Then please tell Mr, Lodely that Miss Quentin is here.” Barbara, growing irritated, had given her name with intense clear- ness—and one of the gorgeous fig- ures In the background turned, “Barbara, What in the world?” “ it was Leila who came darting, towards her, a very magnificent Leila in a filmy green gown pow- dered with gold. “I came because Mark wired for me,” explained Barbara, feeling more than ever out of place ag the sound of music came throbbing down from the upper part of the house. “He said he wanted me to come at once Your father was aw- fully kind; he sent me by road to Taunton.” “Mark said he wanted you? What the devil for?” “It is Peg toy ere grs wy to want to see his flancée,” Barbara reminded her goldly. Why was Leila so hostile? Barbara followed Lella’s straight bare back into a room full of be: tiful things, shabby things, piles ot books and two dogs, all in a com- fortable, interesting muddle. She knew at once that these surround ings could never in this world be- long to anyone but Armitage, She dropped into an enormous. wicker chair by the fire and the two ter riers came up to inspect her, “You look tired out,” commented Lelia, very nonchalant on the op- posite side of the hearth, “I imag- ine you'd like to reat here till the Party has gone home—if you insist on seeing Mark tonight, You know it’s midnight already?” Barbara's annoyance grew. “If it is Mark’s party, I don’t see why I shouldn't go to ft, He prob ably expects me.” “Have you brought a gladder rag than that with you?” Leila’s glance at the tweeds and the scart was quizzical. “No, I haven't.” “Then I advise you to stay dows here, my dear. Mark has no use for the stains of travel at the mo ment. Let me tell him you've,ar rived.” “Very welll” Barbara knew he was being ungracious, but she did not care, “I'll wait here till he comes. Judy's in bed, I hear? Is abo 17" “Not in the slightest. She was fuffy because Mark wouldn't intro duce her to bis friends. I'll go and tell Mark.” She lounged off and the terriers simultaneously leapt on ta Bar- bara’s lap, turned round three times and settled themselves to sleep. She must have dozed, too, under the warm burden of the sleeping Gogs. For when she struggled ap- right In the creaking old chair the clock on the mantelpiece told her that it was nearly two. ‘The Gre had gone out. She shiv- ered and pulled on her coat again. She felt angry, furiously bumiliat- ed, and decided tha’ travel-stained THE ARTMAN PRESS jor not she would go upstairs and find Mark for herself. She tad in the past conceded tea much to bis weaknesses, his helpless appeal. Vaguely aware that she was changing ip ber attitude towards him, she told hersélf that she loved him more, not fess. Loved him too mueh.to let him spoil their happi- ness. She weni quickly up the big stair ease. A door in the upper hal! stood pen @ little, revealing a long line of bookcases; evidently a library. She was a little way up the sec. ond flight when she saw, out of the corner of, ber eye, the door of the library swing wide. “Babs! Well, I'm dashéd! D'you know I thought it was you, but 1 said to meself it can't be Babs, t said, creepin* about at this time of the night! I was tryin’ to fing a hook | could read. Are you lookig’ for Mark?” “Leila told me you were’in bed," said Barbara, feebly following a beckoning finger. Mrs. Lodely ted the way down a side corridor and iato a bedroom that wag most obviously hers. She was @ peculiar Ggure under-the softly shaded lights.. Her. mannish | form was clad in flannelette pyja- mas, over which she had wrapped a kimono very much tumbled and soiled. “I bad. a row. with Mark. about all these people he’s invited here,” she said, pushing @ cigarette be tween her lipe and starting her usual bunt for matches. “He says they ain’t ny sort and | say any- body’s my sort provided they're nice and jolly and no uolsense about ‘em. “So 1 went to bed early, but | eouldn’t get to sleep and. well, there was some dancin’ and singin’ goin’ on so I was just slippia’ up to watch it when you--" “But you weren't going like that, Indy dear!” “Well, I don’t know why 1 shouldn't, Mark’s -yery keen on this bein’ one of these Bahemiau sort of parties with people etrallin’ in just gnghow, sol thought—" She broke off. and appeared to grasp the riddle of Barbara's presence for the first time. “But what are you doin’ hero?” Wearily Barbara explained. “Whatever made him send for you,” she said after a panse, “you won't see bim tonight, if you take my advice. You don't want to quar- rel with him.” “Why should we ‘quarre)?” “My dear gel, you know. what jark canbe whes he’s in, # wicked mood. And he’s been in big wiek- edest ever since he came here.. I'm not. sure Farrell,-though be means well, he’s the soul of generosity, so’s his young secretary, Poole—I’m tt sure Farrell don’t deliberately work Mark ap into being—well— devilish, In ¢act—" “In fact?” \* Mra. Lodely hesitated. “Please go on, Judy.” “Well, my dear gel, if you will have it, I'm pretty certain Farrell bet Mark you wouldn't come if you were sent for. And Mark said of eourse you would. Neither of ‘em really wanted you here at all.” “That’s a tie,” said Barbara im- mediately. She had to thrust her hahds deop into her pockets to keep them off the big, highly col face that gaped at her, How dared Judy--how dared she—! “If ho told me himself he had done it, 1 woulda’t believe it!” she added passionately, “He |s absolutely in- eapable of a bet like that!” A gulp trom Mrs. Lodely wag fol- lowed by a@ splutter and, finally, speech, “Well, I'm dashed! Snappin’ my head off like that! All! said was that I thought they'd bet about it. Tm sure I can’t help my thoughts. ‘As tor your gettin’ up on your high horse about the rightness or wrong- ness of it, I didn’t know Mark was supposed to be such a paragon all of a sudden. Personally, | think | it’s just the kind of thing he would bet about, if he were out of temper with you or anyone else, | admit it's bad form, bat Mark's Mark. We agreed about that a long time ago.” “Mark? I don’t mean that | couldn't believe it of Mark!” j “Oh, I see.” drawled Mrs. Lode. ly. “It wasn’t Mark you were flar | in’ wp about--it was Farrell Armt | tage.” “We may havo agreed that sui fs—outside most codes and conven- tlons,” sald Barbara, “but we! needa’t suppose other men are all |! at his level!” | } (Copyright, 1982, Jutia Cleft-Addams) ilk pAgainet her wilt, Monday, Bar. | ra is forced to raise Mark bis true valve. war ee PRINTING PHONE 51 eseeecoooene , HE TSRRE O C IN THE CITIZEN BLDG. eoeeeces THE KEY WEST CITIZEN | Naticn’s “Main’Streét” Leads Winter Motorists.

Highway officials of Augusta and other cities located along U. &. Highway-No. 1 report that motor traffic is surprisingly heavy considering the severe cut the depression has made on the poe- ketbook of Mr. Average Motorist. Aware of limited purses and in keeping with the newest eco- nomic policy, towns and resorts joeated on the highway are mak- ing every effort to give visitors to the South this winter a great deal for a modest expenditure. This is evidenced ‘not only by re- duced hotel and lodging rates, but* by the maintainance of sporis and other attractive events on a scale comparable with past} ~ years. This will be.of interest to thousands of motorists who are seeking complete relaxation. U.S: Highway No. 1, over which-the bully of South-bound traffic is coming, is in_ perfect condition for travel. The pict- uresque highway is now hard paved for its entire 2,432 miles stretching from Fort Kent on the Maine-Canadian borderline along the Atlantic Seaboard to , Key West, Florida. Its route, in pre- Colonial days an Indian trail, is filled: with the romance of three centuries of American his- tory and passes near atmost every landmark sacred to loyal Americans.
