She didn’t want to see Iris. De- spite the older girl’s treachery, her perfect willingness to ruin any number of lives to win for herself a comparatively small sum of money, nevertheless Buff’s con- science smarted when she thought of Iris. “Can she help it, the poor sap, that she has no gray matter?” Above all she didn’t want to see Tim. A curious feeling of hostility toward him had been growing in her mind. He had caused nothing but trouble since she met him. First there was the shock of his accident; then the long hours of nursing him, entertaining him; then the necessity—at least she had felt it to be a necessity—of establishing herself in Boulder for the winter. Then came Iris, and in her wake a whole series of quar- rels with Tim. “If I'd found cee at the ranch but dear old Webby,” she mused, slowing her car down as she neared Boulder, “I’d have hired a new foreman, left word for Atkins that he was fired, and gone on.” She brought her foot down on the accelerator in a defiant spurt of speed, and presently stopped be- fore her own apartment. There she carried out her plan to the letter. She told the sympa- thetic Mrs. Webb that she felt ill and was going to bed. “You sure look it, too,” observed the housekeeper. “Them blue eyes of yours are a couple of sizes too big for your face and it white as a piece of writing paper! Bed’s the place for you, all right. I’ll brinz you some soup pretty soon that'll put the strength back in you.” “And no callers admitted!” “Let ’em try to get in; that’s all I ask—let ‘em try!” was the belligerent assurance. A little before six George Weekes came, demanding ex- citedly to see Miss Buff. He was outraged when told she was in bed and in no condition to receive callers. Buff heard his protests. “But look here, Webby, she'll see me! Why, she called me— why, she was in Denver this very afternoon! She can’t be so awfully “In Denver, was she? No won- der the poor child came in looking like she was ready to drop! Driv- ing all.the way to Denver in the condition she was in to start with .. . I'm telling you, Mr. George, she’s hardly et or slept the last few Says. I've been telling myself she was sickening for something. Pneumonia, most likely, flu at the least. She——” “Has she complained of a pain in her chest?” George’s voice was anxious K, in’t the complaining kind, you ought to know that. But says she, her poor little face all white and drawn, ‘Webby dear, put me to bed and don’t let no one in. For I'm that sie,’ she says, ‘T can't bear the sound of nobody but you.’” Buff chuckled drearily. Drama was in the air, she thought. Web- by had caught the infection and was ing a nice little act of her own. Too bad to have poor George worried, but Buff had had all she could endure for one day. She heard him depart, promising to call later in the evening. An hour later a box of flowers arrived. Buff looked on apatheti- cally while Mrs. Webb searched for the card. “Mr. Timothy Cor- liss” it said; and that was all. 1, what did you expect?” the girl asked herself scornfully when Webby had withdrawn in Search of vases. “ “With heartfelt gratitude for saving my life?’ or “With ail my love, Buff darling!’” She bit her lip to still its trem- bling. Somehow she found that formal offering of flowers, the card with no personal word on it, harder to bear than silence. When Webby sailed in with two tall jars of roses, her young mistress bade her take them away. No Lack Of Attention AROUNL midnight, she was left to herself. It appeared, she thought bitterly, to have been her most popular evening. Mrs. Webb was kept busy between the tele- phone and doorbell. Van dropped im to borrow a few groceries: “If Fad happen to have a bit of steak lying around, Webby machree, it wouldn’t crush me utterly to take it in charge!” Various others of her friends called or called up. Some were so upset at the news of her indisposition that they sent offerings: a detective story, bor- owed a week ago from a circulat- ing library; a cup of custard which rovoked scornful comment from ebby; a plant from a florist, bear- ing many large leaves and a few violent magenta blossoms. .. . Buff had no lack of attention that ht. “ane was settling down to sleep Today’s Horoscope’ suffer privation before attaining the goal. The mind is a little too is danger of adverse influences “That DeMuth girl was here a little while ago,” she said. “Td have come and told you then but Mr. George called up\again and talked my arm off.” “Tris—here?” Buff commented faintly. “Mad as a wet hen, too! When I told her ‘you wasn’t well she said she was glad to hear it and no more than you’ deserved. I said a few things my own self then, Miss Buff. Tl say I did! There’s a snake in the grass, if there ever was one, and so I told her.” The girl in the bed held her ace. She had not foreseen that ‘Tis would come here; she had not, as a matter of fact, given much thought to Iris once her scheme was exposed. It troubled her a little that Tim should have. told the other girl of Buff’s activities, But she was too bruised and sore to mind another ache. She fell at last into an exhausted sleep; roused once to murmur, “Tim,” in a grieved tone; then sank fathoms deep in healthful slumber, At all past ten the next morn- ing Van drifted in, drowsy-eyed and wishing to “borrow” some food for breakfast. Webby’s usu- ally cheerful face was glum as she supplied his needs. At the door he remembered to ask: “Miss Buff better today, I hope?” “She’s better,” the housekeeper said briefly. A few minutes later George Weekes telephoned and was given the same information, “Fine!” he said. “Is she up? Can I set her, Mrs, Webb?” “Not today; she said not today, Mr. George.” “Well, give her my best and tell her I’m coming out tonight any at to chat with you about er. Atnoon Tim arrived; a Tim who was stern and tired looking; a Tim who, oe warm heart told her, needed food and comfort. “Pm sorry you can’t see Miss Buff today,” ‘she began glibly. “But you'll let me fix you a little bite of lunch? An omelet, now, and a bit of broiled ham——” ‘She Ain’t Here’ E shook his head. “Will you ask Miss Buff if I may go in and speak to her for just a minute? I won't stay, I promise not to tire | her; but I must see her, Webby.” “She said most particular she conan see anybody today; not a soul.” He looked alarmed. “She's really ill then? I thought .. .” He did not tell her what he thought, but fixed his eyes on her anxiously. Her own broad face grew troubled. “No, she’s not ill; not to say ill, exactly. I think it’s more that she—that she wants to be left alone. Today anyhow.” He nodded. “I can understand that. Tell her so for me, will you? Tell her I’m feeling like being left alone today, too.” Tt was late in the afternoon of the second day before Webby’s ingenuity, not to say cheerful un- truthfulness, failed her. Tim and George came together to the apartment. There was purpose in their stride, in their voices, as they demanded to see Buff. “Or if she’s too ill to have visi- tors, we want the name of her doctor,” was Tim's stern edict. Webby sighed, recognizing that the psychological moment was upon her, “She ain’t here,” she told them simply. “Not here! Great Scott!” Tim ran his fingers through his hair and turned wildly toward his friend. “She’s been taken to the hospital! She was a lot sicker than we knew. What hospital, Webby? The Community? Get going George... or perhaps we'd better talk to her doctor first.” “She ain’t in no hospital.” “Not? Then where——” “I don’t know.” Webby rubbed one fat hand over the back of the other. “All I know is that yester- day morning——” “Yesterday morning? But she “Shut up, old man, and let her tell her story,” George advised. “Yesterday morning she got up around six and asked me would | I get her some breakfast while she packed. She——” “Packed? Say-——” The housekeeper looked at him patiently. “Mr. Ti all I got to ¢ ‘im, say is do you want I should tell you | about Miss Buff, or don’t you?” Tim scowled. “Carry on!” “While she packed—that’s what | T said. And she was shutting a suitcase when 1 called her’ to breakfast. Ske had me come in and sit down while she ate, ani give me instructions. They was’ —she fixed an eye which was at once apologetic and defiant on her listeners—“to give out to anybod: that asked that she was too sick bee “py Ae a while. She sa jo keep it up as long’s could; ard I done so.” cet This time it was Weekes who spurred her to further speech. ‘And Miss Buff? What did she do? Did she tell you where—_* “No, she never.
