PACE SIX THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON MONDAY. OCTOBER 21, 1929 THE LUXURY Chapter It FAMILY Sever! week! later Barbara 'l Un cle Henry, oUierwisa Hearj Junes Vndaveer Landon, ni holdinf an informal court. He was entitled to do AO, for he was the oldest and wealthiest member of the Landon family, being several times a mil llonaire. The others, secretly hoping that ' some day some portion ol his mil' lions might come their way, came at bis bidding, to flatter, to cringe, to obey all except Barbara. She defied her Undo Harry and she loved him. "Barbara I" he exclaimed. "I never thought you'd marry a penniless fel low of no social standing whatso- ever! I had thought until now, that John had dona wisely In leaving you in full control of your money. If you had to get married abroad, you . might at least have bought a duke or prince when you were about it." "I dont care to buy a husband, thanks." Barbara retorted furiously. "Oreat heavens! What else have you doner You cant tell me that you haven't bought wis I enow wnen you pay all his bills: and house and feed him besides ... I think that you might have chosen one who would have brought more credit to the family!" Barbara was flaming by this time. "Stoo It. Uncle Henry, or 111 hit you." she cried angrily. "You dont understand Bay. lie doesn't intend to live aft me. He's going to work.' At what?" bluntly. "Why, he's trying to put some of his songs across." "Bah I" said her uncle with In creased vigor. "How far does be think he'll get at that? Anyhow, what does he Intend doing In the meantime?" "He he talks of getting a posi tion In an orchestra," Barbara con ceded reluctantly. "Do you mean that he Intends to get a Job blowing that abominable saxophone of his?" Mr. Landon fair ly shouted. "Fine thing for us to have a relative of ours playing in some cheap Jazz band! You can't tell me honestly Barbara, that you think it suitable?" lto, Barbara had to confess that she- did not. But he might be per suaded Into doing something else, she suggested. Her nele Henry might place him in his own office. . . "Hell I Don't you think I've thoaght or that?" the older man de manded Irritably. "I put It up to . him the second day you both return ed home. He was In his room blow lng''on that damned instrument of his-and Instead of stopping when I came in. he had the nerve to say, 'Wait a moment, will you? I want to finish working out tills tune that's running through my head.' "I sat there for some minutes white he made the most atrocious sounds I've ever heard. Finally I said, 'Shut up, young fellow, I haven't time to sit here all day lis tening to you.' He put aside his sax ophone at that and said, 'I see you aren't fond of music' We didn't seem to hit it off after that I of fered him a Job, but he told me firmly that he hadn't any interest In stocks and shares and that he Intended to stick to his profession." "Preposterous!" said Mrs, Ray mond Hlggins. a widowed cousin who had expectations. "Absurd! I never heard anything like It," said Mrs. T. Lawrentz. who had received a lawyer's letter from her dressmaker that morning and was wondering how to broach the subject to dear Uncle Henry. "These musical lellows never get anywhere," remarked George Lan don, the youngest brother and own er of a canning factory. "I went through college with one who prac ticed hours a day on his piano and now the poor goof Isn't earning one eighth of what I am." "It isn't necessary for Ray to make money," Barbara pointed out.

"Well, you can tell him my offer still holds good," said Henry James Van da veer Landon magnanimously, Barbara, being woman and very feminine one at that, was care ful to place Ray at a dlsadavntage before she even began the argument. She picked upon the hour before bedtime, when she was wont to alt curled on his knees. She had put on her daintiest negligee, a thing of chiffon and lace that had no warmth whatsoever unless you could call a ruffle of ostrich feathers somi protection for the throat a gar. ment that intrigued Ray completely because it was so entirely feminine and unnecessary. 6he perched herself on his knees, as usual, but there was a distrait air about her and she frowned. He saw that something had upset her and finally inquired: "What's the matter. Barbara? It took him quite a while to per suade her to tell blm and. when she did, she had the air of conferring a great favor. "You've offended my Uncle Hen- ry- "Do you mean because I refused a place In his office? It was might! kind of him, but, you know, that It ism in my line. "But I thought yoa wanted to be independent?" He set his teeth grimly. "You bet I do!" He did not add that, after three years of knocking around, he felt like a fun out of water In this elab orate establishment that his wife maintained. It was absurd but, knowing that In no way did he con tribute to It upkeep, he felt that It was an Impertinence on his part to even summon the butler for a glass of ice water. He half wanted to apologize to the man and hold the door open for him to pass out again. "I tried out for two orchestras today," he remarked suddenly. She clung closer to him. He liked the perfume on her hair. "But I don't want you to go Into a stupid old Jazz band, Ray. I want you to go In with my Uncle Henry. Wouldn't you try It for a time, IX only to please me?" His arms tightened around her while he tried to argue with her gently. "But, I wouldn't be any use in business. I'd make a fool of myself. .ven In college I hadn't any head for figures." "You could try," she pouted. "You would try If you loved me." "I do love you. Barbara." "Then If that's the truth you'll stop all this nonsense about playing in a jazz Dano. you ve no idea how humiliated It makes me feel. My rel atives and friends laugh at It I know they do. And you must see that it is absurd yourself ... I be lieve you'll make me hate you, Ray, If you go on being so stubborn." They continued the argument long into the night and. In the end, as she had on a similar occasion, she got ner way. Ray was at a disadvan tage when she was lying in his arms, her hands caressing his hair. Be sides, ne was sufficiently fair-mind ed to see, In a measure, her point of view. "Very well, Barbara, I'll try it out since you're so set on it. But, I warn you that I'll be worse than useless. She cooed with plessure, gave him one long, quick hug. "Ray, you darling thing. I knew you a end up by being sensible." But that night, as he tossed sleep lessly In his bed, he could not decide whether he had been sensible or Just a poor, weak foot. (To be continued) MRS.
