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.
"but he's crnzv with the notion of

Uncle Harry. At least I can try."
"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.
