Farrell lias se cured Bar bu re's promise to postpone the wcddliiK a rear, so that Farrell can launch Mark as an artist, and linrbara can then make a choice between them without jiaaicap lor anyone Chapter 27 A ('HOKE FOR POOLE Kcnnctli Poole, looking as ruddy nnd smooth rr though he had risen from emht hours dreamless slum ber, helped himself largely to ham ana eggs ana said "I'll yaffle tills last one, if you're sure you-ve iinisued. I gather Mrs. Lodely breakfasts upstairs?" "She does." Armitage pushed back from the table and ocean lux uriously to fill his pipe. "So does ner son. At least, he did yester- uay. "I'm not sure I understand Lode ly's type enough to understand Lodely, Poole went on. "He cer tainly lost his wool Just before he went to his bye-byes. Couldn't fol low his line of temper, quite." He paused, before adding very casual ly i got the impression you could, though." Spoken In the best Poole man ner. 'Oh, Mr. Armitage, what a charming boy that secretary of yours is! something so sympa thetic about him.' " He dodged the box of niatclies hurled at him and Sobered. "Lodely has cause or, at least, ex cuse to bait me," Farrell admitted. "But I'm beginning to fear he dis likes me for the wrone reasons. There's nothing more obstructive to progress." , "Mind If I ring for some more toast?" asked Poole helpfully. "Why not order yourself an ome- uwnnww SEEING THE WORLD By Mary Graham Bonner Rip had come back from his romp, Topnotch had closed his store for the evening, the Ducks were wide awake, and all had agreed that they should decide that very eve ning just what was to be done about Willy Nilly's ears. Suddenly a flutter of wings could be heard outside and a quack-quacking and a knock at the door. There stood Mr. and Mrs. Quackles, the bride and groom. "We're back," they said. "We've traveled quite far, and we've decid ed to spend the rest of our honey moon In Puddle Muddle. We've seen the world." "Oh, tell us about the world, said eryone. "Well, It's like Puddle Muddle, )nly not so nice. It's really not so pnuch when you come down to it. Pur pond, our old roads, our old fields arc the best," Quackles said. "But what is the world like?" Asked Mrs. Quacko. "Well," said Quackles, "it's like this, only more of it. You go on and n and get very tired and you see more laud And you see more trees and you see another brook and you see a pond or a swamp. "Then you see some more trees and some more land and houses and some rocks and some poles. "Really," he explained grandly with a flourish of hlB wing, "the world is a whole lot of the same thing only spreading Itself over more ground." "That's a perfect description," said Mrs. Quackles. "A perfect description," they all quacked and barked and crowed. All of a sudden they hoard a knock on the window pane Knock-knock-knock. Monday "Knock, knock, knock." lette as well? You've got to keep your strength up somehow. "Now why in the world didn't you suggest that Just after the fish? You've spoilt what might have been an excellent breakfast." Poole turned his reproachful gaze from Armitage to the opening door and the reproach vanished. "Hullo! I say, Oaffen, you really arc a bit of a thought-reader, aren't you? Toast hot, thin toast a whole rackful of fresh toast borne in upon a thought- wave. ' "We haven't forgotten your break fasts, sir," said the beaming Gaff en. Armitage might get respect, liking, Intelligent response from his do mestic staff, but lie was amusedly awaro that it was Poole distant cousin, private secretary and unof ficial second-in-command who held their hearts. "We fancied you mlr;ht be glad to enjoy a good British breakfast ar;ain." "All the same, I put on nearly 10 pounds In New York," said Poole. "Mrs. Lodely, sir, has come down," said Gaffcn to Armitage. "She is in the drawing room. She would be glad of a moment with you at your convenience." As the door closed upon the but ler, Poole stood up. "By the way, Poole, I forgot to tell you, but Mrs. Lodely Is to be your holiday-task." Poolo looked horrified. "Haven't you got mining interests in Vesuvius or fishing rights around the Pole that I ought to see about instead?" he asked earnestly. "I mean, Mrs. Lodely's most interest ing and all that, but the only thing we have in common is that she went out with the Belvolr hunt one day last year and I went out with the Belvolr hunt one day last year. And It wasn t even the same day. "Well, you'll have to go on dls cussing that lamentable mischance xor at least another week," returned Armitage heartlessly. "I'll look after Mark, but I'd be grateful if you could take the lady off my hands. Do the usual shows with her and so on." "Right you are, gov!" Armitage left tho cheerful morn ing room and sought out Mark's mother. "I hope you got some sleep?" he asked. "Slept like a dog I always do!' When she had laughed, she con tinued: "I hear they'll have done the elevator Job by tomorrow night. You don't tell me it's your habit to cut up your house to suit everyone who comes to stay with you for a few days?" "I'd been planning to extend the elevator mm it lor a long time; evaded Armitage. "As for this talk of a few days, surely you'll give us longer that that? Poole has only just got back after a tough month In the States and he's looking for ward to a little fun." "He seems a nice, cheerful sort of boy," nodded Mrs. Lodely. "Bit callow, I should say, what?" "Hardly," murmured Armitage, struggling with recollections of his secretary's peculiarly sophisticated encounters with life. "At any rate, If you'll let Poole amuse you while Mark Is busy, you'll be doing a favor all around. McLoughlin, the Watcher cartoonist, Is interested in Mark al ready; he rang up last night and he'll come round and see him this evening." "Did he really I Well, It certainly does seem as if Mark was to have his chance at last and I'm sure I should be the last to stand In his way his own mother! Only" 'Only?" 'Only, If you don't mind my say- in so, my dear boy, I don't for the life of me see what you're dobV it all fori After all, it's one thing lo give a strugglin' artist a couple of useful introductions and a weeks holiday and quite another to build him an elevator and a studio and put up with him until he's ready to leaver' "What about getting Philhay to ACROSS 1.

Sir Robert Philhay, the Donewttci'7 But I thought he'd retired." Mr. Lodely looked, for once, startled and Impressed. "He lia, but It's my experience mat a man can always be lured out of retirement by a case that's battled hu colleagues." Mrs. Lodely smoking fast, stared at the ground. A faint fear shot tnrougn ArmUagc he had not fore seen difficulty with Murk's mother and he felt he would have liked to think out his line of attack. He said lamely "I gave your son his telegram last night, but I could not Induce him to send any answer." "Telegram?" Her thoughts were elsewhere. Then "Oh, yes. Prom tlaroaro. "Yes." Sho looked up sharply, spilling ner ash. "Barbara," she repeated. Armitage was tense, waitinfr. "If you don't mind my sayin' so, my dear boy" that some, deadly opening! "you surely aren't think- in' In any particular, personal way about Barbara? ' "It Is true that I hope to persuade Miss Quentin to marry me instead or your son." "You'll never do that," said Mrs. Louciy. She said It casually as casually as she dropped her half-smoked cigarette upon the Aubusson carpet anu stamped It out with tier big, shabby shoe. "You'll never do that if I have to lay down my life to pre vent It. You can't understand, but It's a matter of getting Justice for Mark his marryin' Barbara. And if needs be, I shall tell 'em both why." Into Armitage's mind flashed the memory of what Leila had said at South-the-Watcr. "I may have ab solutely no right to all this. It may be really Mark's." And Armi tage remembered his own rejoinder "Or Barbara's." Armitage felt anger rising. What cadgers and suckers they were, mother and son I They took and took and took from Barbara; her young strength was caught In their weakness her life tied down under their feet and dark with their shad ows. "Anyway, put the notion out of your mind," Mrs. Lodely told him. "You'd get the same advice from Bubs, too, If you talked to her about it. If you don't mind my puttln' It plainly, she doesn't like you. She told me so." "That certainly doesn't sound hopeful for me," admitted Armitage, equably, "And now I'm all the more duz- 2licd as to why your'e doln' so much for Mark. I sh'd hove thought you'd do less, If anythln'l" She peered at him with sudden suspicion. "Seems to be unnatural that you should wish him welll" Armitage laughed aloud she was so obviously crude In her emotional life. "I've asked you to stay on here with your son," he pointed out. "If you still don't think he's safe in my house I can't, I'm afraid, convince you otherwise. But Miss Quentln Is quite confident that I don't plan to poison his food or throw him down stairs, even If I do look upon him as rival." "You she " Mrs. Lodely was actually gaping at him. "Does that mean you told her you wanted to marry her?" "Certainly, I told her." (To be Continued) Bridge Club Guest Woodburn Mrs. R. L.
