She felt stricken. Not because of anything Judy wight say or think. Judy had never seally mattered. But because in that one spurt of indignation her. spirit had taken am eager step to wards Farrell Armilage and she | kuiew it end was gfraid.. .. “Babs?” Judy’s tone had changed. Judy, hor cigarette hanging from the cor- | 44 ner of her mouth, sounded almost thaid. “There’s no need for us to quar rel, Babs, fs there? 1 certainly | nog didn’t mean to run Farrell down if you didn’t.” She appeared to real. ize the depths of her own muddle- ment. “What I mean to gay {s, there’s no need for any compart sons as they're always odious.” Barbara walked over to a basin, found a glass and drank some cold water. The shelf above the basin \was full of the generat mess and stickiness that Mark's mother seemed automatically to create. Her presence lay on the quiet, solidly _Sppointed room like @ film of mould. pale colors. Oh, if only. someone | Would take Judy off her hands fon, ever! “I'll go up to Mark now,” she gaid, when she had drunk her water, “You must do as you like.” “Just one minute before you go, Babs!” Judy had lumbered in front of the door and Barbara had to stop and listen. “I’m sure 1 don’t want to offend you—and everythirig 1 do or say seems to offend you, lately.” Judy was, for Judy, quite apolo- getic. “But as*Mark’s: mother, 1 feel 1 ought to know how things stand. You are goin’ to marry Mark, Babs—surely?” “Ot course, Judy! Why do-you doubt it?” “Well, Farrell’s goin’ about sayin’ he—well, you evidently ain’t 'think- in’ seriously about him, so there’s no need for us to go into it. But there's somethin’ I'd like to tell you fm case you're thinkin’ life with Mark and me might come @bit toe bard on you.” “If it's any more about your get- ting a job, we can’t discuss it now. Heaven knows what time of night tt is!” “It's nothin’ to do with jobs for @ny of us. It's about a—an—inherit- ance.” “Whose?” asked Barbara. She was by now almost desper ately fatigued aud the cold water, though it had steadied her nerves, bad brought a feeling of faintness, The sandwiches she had had seemed a matter of days ago, Judy’s talk about an inheritance could wait, couldn’t it? And whose in- beritance? “As to that, I'm not in @ position $ say,” returned Mrs, Lodely, with unusual precision. “All I want you to know is that when you've man ried Mark, there'll be a good chance of us all never havin’ to do another band’s turn so long ag we live.” “But whose money will it be— Mark's?" Mrs. Lodely swallowed nervous- “What's Mark's will be yours and what's yours will be Mark’s, I sup- pose, my dear gel.” Not UN afterwards tid Barbara realize the evasion behind the words. She moved impatiently to- wards the door and Mrs. Lodely gave way Ddofore her, “I'm going up to Mark.” repeated Barbara and stepped ont again into the strangeness of the house. She came back to the staircase— i was still then a Hight bigh up, outside her vision was turned out and everything Deyond the turn of the stairs was fe darkness. involuntarily she paused In her ascent and at once Mrs. Lodely’s voice whispered be- bind ber. eee | acAee pSaiahie pe in’ or somethin’, I'll bet. Come on, let’s go and see.” Mrs. Lodely, who had dragged a coat over her kimono and now pre- sented an even more strangely “Ro, hemian” spectacle, pattered t her and led the way upstairs. Here @ faint light guided them, a light that set Barbara’s nerves on edge, for it was a sickly yellowish green, “There!

Mrs. Iy ind aleappeared fm the wake of the dancer. Barbara looked back at him, wait- ing for him to welcome her to this gathering of his friends. A young man had captured the plano stool and was playing loudly and formlessly. Mark sat up on his conch and reached to a table behind him, He appeared to be writing something—no, he was drawing. His hand hovered, swooped, curved, ag though it had a separate life of its own. Barbara could not look away. Her eyes were still fixedly upon him when he spoke smilingly to a lovely girl whose head was near hig shoulder. She jumped up and drew from the wall an ease). She arranged it and he handed her 4 white square—evidently a sketch to prop upon its ledge, Barbara saw the girl look at the sketch, then towards herself in the doorway; she hear her squeal of silly laughter. Barbara backed, turned and ran. Mark was going to be cruel in front of those people. No, she couldn't nity that! She couldn't stand She ph in panic towards the seainbond, peaulag aside vague, ob- structing shapes—for this landing Was still in darkness. Just at the turn of the staircase, she paused and peered back. She had heard a voice say some thing about “Shows him up pretty plainly, the dirty little bounder,” | and there in the doorway where she had stood was a tall man's form, big shoulders bearing a brown head; gil else was ip shadow. She plunged on, ignoring the fact that there was an elevator, almost supping and falling in her anxiety to be gone from his house, She gained the big hall—-there was a servant here, elderly, upright, “Where is my suitcase, please?” she gasped at him. But before he could make any answer she had seen ft half tehind @ cough. She snached it up, pulled open the door and ran out.
