THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1929 THE LUXURY HUSBAND LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE Recrimination By Harold Cray 7r PAGE SIX 1 Chapter 31 DISASTER "Look out, the floor 1 giving a way!" All eyes in the direction of the voice. There, to their instant hor ror, they saw boards breaking away irom the sides of the wait During those first moments they seemed incapable of graping the impending calamity the hastily erected floor, unable to stand the strain of it all, was in imminent danger of collapsing under their very feet! When this fact finally forced U telf upon them, they made, one and all, for the stairway. But here they found their exit blocked. The ele phant, equally frightened, had placed it huge, unwieldy frame against the stairway. The wild animals, too, had broken loose. Women screamed the floor creaked and rocked periously. How much longer would it hold? Barbara, since the first outcry, had stood as though stupefied in far corner of the room. Hender son had left her. Now. suddenly .becoming aware of a strange noise at her feet she looked down to sec1 the jaguar crouching before her' ... as terrified, poor brute, had she known it, as Barbara herself. She screamed wildly and loudly.1 She swayed dizzily and closed her eyes. Then she heard footsteps run ning towards her. Looking up she thought that she must be Insane. For it was Ray, close beside her. "Ray!" she screamed. Quickly he had ripped the black cloak from his costume and had thrown it over the frightened beast's head. The next moment his arms were about Barbara, crushing her to him with the hunger of months of yearning, his lips bruis ing her face with the intensity of his kles. "Barbara, my dear! Oh, my dear! . . .' She clung to him, half swooning with the intoxication of her Joy. . . . To be held In Ray's arms once more ... to know that he loved her. Nothing mattered except that. Ray, keenly aware of the danger, was hurrtng her towards the stair case. The elephant still guarded the exit, the mob seething about him. The noise of the ripping of boards had increased: the floor wobbled dangerously; It seemed about to cave in. It' was Ray who . prevented a calamity Ray who, on a moment's irrptration. rushed up to the band platform and seized the singer's megaphone. Through this he shout ed directions to the terrified dancers. With the help of the boys from the band he cleared the mob from around the talrway. himself I finally succeeding in getting the elephant to move. At any moment he might have bnen trampled under its great feet. Bnrbara. watching him, thought that she must faint from the fear of It, the fear of what might hap pen to Ray. Barbara and Ray remained In the hall until the last, gaining the gar den Just in time to hear a sudden, deafening sound behind them as the huge floor caved In and, with a mlghtly roar, collapsed. In the scuffle that followed Bar bara lost sight of Ray. One mo ment he was bv her side, the next he was gone. 'She called him once, twice, without reply. She searched everywhere. vainly. desperately. Where could Ray have gone? She ran to the front of the house where automobiles were Jamming mnd pools of fear. She couldn't believe Ray had left her again left her after those moments she had lain in his arms after his ki-spes had scorched her face. Minutes twsscrl: the mnlnrltv of At; it oss t.

Frantic she became, rushing along the driveway, searching the faces of those who passed her in limou- sines or taxis . . .not hearing their murmurs of sympathy, of regret, watching only for Ray. Be found him it last In t taxi, on the point of leaving. Without a thought for appearances she rushed down and rapped frantically on the window. "Rayl . . . Ray! . , He looked up. Seeing her he rose Immediately and got out of the car. "You'd best go on without me," he murmured to Bill. "I'll follow presently. For a few moments they stood on the steps, without speaking. He was so very stiff and straight -she lt almost afraid of him. Her hand touched his sleeve. "Come inside, Ray. I want to talk to you. . . . She turned to climb the stairs but, when he didnt speak, nor at tempt to follow her, she said, her voice cracking suddenly: "Ray how can you be so cruel?" That seemed to pull him together. "I'm sorry, Barbara. But can't you tell me what you have to here?" She tried to make her tmile plausible, the smile to hide the pain in her eyes. "I want you to come Inside, and when still he hesitated, "Don't be absurd, Ray. You ace as though we weren't married and I was try ing to vamp you!" He came at that. Invariably, the be?t way to get around Ray was to ridicule an attitude of his. He fol lowed her up the steps and into the great stone mansion that had housed Landons for three succes sive generations! She led him upstairs. He fol lowed her mutely, not knowing where she was leading him. But when he saw she had brought him into her boudoir, a dainty slip of a room In white and gold, he stood motionless in the doorway. She saw the look and it hardened her, stiffened her resolutions to have done' with this nonsense of veparation. She essayed a desperate laugh. "Don't be so dramatic, Ray and sit down!" He seated himself oil the chaise longue, a slender thing of gold with absurd pink taffeta cushions. He a en ted himself gingerly as though in the past months he had become unaccustomed to the bou doir of a lady of fashion. "What Is It you want. Barbara?" Then, casting her pride to the wind and throwing her cards on the table with the reckless impul siveness that was Barbara, she spoke, her voice grown husky. "It's you I want, Ray. . . . Oh, my dear, I've wanted you every minute you've been away!" He started, overwhelmed by what seemed to him the unfairness of her attack. ... Ho tried to rise but now she wa beside him on the lounge, her arms holding him down. "You wouldn't leave me now, Ray? Not after what happened to night? Ob, my dear, I couldn't bear it. Swear to me you'll never leave me again." (To be Continued) HOUSE OWNERS MOVE SI lverton Among the changes made In people moving the past few days are the W. E.
