4 heard Elinor eay, "But,

f Barrett Colvin. Lida real
ized. She did not want to have 6or
rott Colvin devoted to Elinor! She
wanted him to admire her; to recite
her good qualities to Miss Ella Bex-
ton who waa devoted to Barry and
obviously easily influenced by him.
A tragedy It would be, Lida d-
clded swiftly, for Aunt Ella to leave
the bulk of her fortune to Elinor.
And Aunt Ella was quite likely to
leave) large part of it to anyone
Barrett Colvin admired. Elinors
taates were too simple; Elinor would
have been perfectly happy living
on the smallest allowance while Lida
simply had to have money! Elinor,
of course, would give her mother
what she needed, but Lida did not
want her daughter In the position
where she could give, nor have her
capable of spending what she pleased
and where she pleased. Elinor would
he altogether too generous with such
people as the Toropes and Philip
Sexton.
"Any young girl Is better off for
control," Lida thought often. She
could always make herself comfort
able concerning any lie and assure
herself that whatever she wanted
was the thing that was right.
She tiptoed a little closer to the
drawing room doorway and stood
clone to a billowing curtain, pressed
ugiiinst the wall. Elinor was saying,
"But I ve never known anyone so
fine aa you are, Barry. It's ridic
ulous for you to keep harping on
age as you do!'
He blurted out, "I want you to
have the best."
There was a silence. Then Lida
heard his deep-drawn breath and
knew he had kissed Elinor.
"I didn't mean to do that before--."
he said and hesitated. He
was going on, Lida waa aure, to flay,
"before I asked yon to marry me."
Oh, but she could not have that!
T.ide moved swiftly toward the draw
ing room door. On the threshold
she paused, knowing the picture she
made.
"My dear, dear, dear child!" she
exclaimed tremulously. She saw the
color drain from EHnor'e face and
her eyes grow big and dark. Elinor
had on a new dress and was wearing
her hair in the way Lida had de
clared to be nbsurdly theatrical. Bnr
rett Colvin did not like the Interrup
tion, she saw. He was flushed and
looked sullen. But she would manage
It so that he would thank her and
later, with a little more managing,
he could bring bim to heel.
The envioua malice asserted Itself
and brought a tinge of pink to Lida's
lovely skin. It would be an absurd
marriage for Elinor, she decided.
Elinor would be far happier married
to some poor man, puttering about at
housework as Bessie Thrope did, try
ing to stretch pennies and nickels,
than attempting to manage the house
hold of a millionaire.
"Be a little glad to see me, please,
dear!" Lida begged wistfully of Eli
nor and very tenderly kissed her.
She saw a question In Barrett Col
viu's eyes which she knew (with sat
isfaction) had been put there by Eli
nor's turning a cool cheek for that
kiss.
Lida laid her email hands on, Eli
nor's shoulders. "I can't tell yon how
good it is to see you, my darling,"
she said, her voice full and throb
bing. "I've missed you ao mucb."
"It's going to be ridiculously eaay,"
Lida thought. But she mustn't leave
them alone until she has had a
chance to speak to Barrett in pri
vate! "Darling," Lida said, pulling off
her gloves, "would you do something
for mother?"
