Im ieiliatcly after their marriage, the specter of Barbara's millions haunts their happiness and Itay makes It plain I lint he will not llvtt on bis wife's moncy,- Chapter 8 A BARRIER OF DOLLARS ; D"aRBARA and Ray both fell si JL lent. SUe was biting her lip to keep-back tho tears. He was . being so dlfflcult. Hon she wished lie would see things In the sensible way she did! Everything then ' would be wonderful, i She bad not expected him to keep on being stubbdrn about accepting her money once he hid given In sufficiently to marry her! But, by the look on his face, sho knew that It would bo useless to argue with him In bis present mood. "At least, won't you lot me give yoii' atii honeymoon abroad as a weeding gift?" He moved uneasily In his chair. It burt him terribly to have to re fuse her. and on this day of all days, too. the looked so sweet and appeal ing as sbe sat there. Iter hazel eyes fixed anxiously upon Ills face. There was no other girl In the irhole world who could compare with her, be was convinced of that, All the same be said: "I can't do it, Barbara. I'm aw fully sorry, ddnr, but we've got tb get this Btrolglit from now on." , She regarded him with a hurt frown, "1 don't see why it should mat ter which one of us has tho money so long as tt'a there. Think how much lucklor we are than most young couples starting out!" But he could not see It from nor point of view, "1 don't agroo with yoti, Barbara, 1 don't think a lot of money Is nl together, a blessing when you're young like we are. I'm normal hough to want to work for you and it hurts me to think lljat I'll never bq oblo to give you anything that you couldn't have bought as. easily for yourself." Ho broke off abruptly. "However, that's beside the point, For the . present I'm afraid you'll have to accustom your self to my blowing on that old aaio jihono, my dear." The girl's tooth were set over her lower lip and with Barnard thai was a dangerous sign. Ilcr eyes flashed uugrlly as she snatched her band out of bis. "It's that rotten old prldo ot yoursl You lot It keep, us npnrt fur three years and now It's going to ruin our honeymoon. How do you think I'll feel when the passen gers know that my husband Is play lug In the orchestra?" "We could keep our marriage a secret," he suggested. "Nx I don't believe- in that. I'd planned on our loavlng the ship at Southampton nnd going on up to London for a couplo of woolts, but, ot course. If you're bent In llnlsh lng this tour Just In order to make me feel small nnd foolish" Her voice trailed away and hurt, angry tears brimmed to her eyes Hay could not hold out In the faro of hor obvious misery. Desperate ly lie wanted to innko her happy. "Hitrbarn, Barbara, plen.si dnti'i talk like that. I'll do whatever you want mo to and, dear, I'll let you lend mo the money, I'll give you an I. O. U. for It." Sho agreed, allium :i alio smiled to herself. She took the nolo from him Inter, hut mure In tho light ot nn ninuslnri rnrco they were sing ing than anything soiious. Dusk was stealing over them; nil nround, In tho Ilols, llrthts wcro popping up; it was growing chilly on the veranda. I "Lot's go In nnd dance for a w.iiiu, sua iiiiirmuieu, as sue hooked her lingers conl,;htcdly through his. "And please don't row any mure this evening. Hay I want this to bu such a wonder ful night " "It will oe," he assured her, squeezing her lingers. "How could It rail to be? You and I . . ." "And Purls," she broke In, smil ing up Into his eyes. "Whero could you find a moro perfect trio?" Late that night they relumed to the hotel. They were tired, bolh ot them, tired and keyed up at the same time. It seemed to come over them sud denly, as they stood there beside the whlto twin bods, that they were actually married. They smiled at each other, faint ly and tremulously, each avoid ing the other's eyes. They might have been strangers, in Hint mo nieiii, meeting for tho llrst time under embarrassing circumstances. Indeed, Barbara was asking her self. It this tall, dark, lean man was uctually her husband. She felt that she scarcely knew hlrn. Of course, she had known lilw well three years ago, but she had seen many indications that be had changed. Nuw. suddenly, shj, felt a llttlo afraid of tho thing she had done: nhy of 111 in too. To hldo her em harassment sho commcncefl hum ming one ot tho jazz tunes to which they bad been dancing whllo sho tapped a' polntod-silvor-shod toe on' the lloor. Ray, too. seemed owed by the slrahgo unreallly of that moment. That Barbara I-nndon, whom for three years ho had loved, but loved as one loves the unattainable, should ho standing there as bis wife seemed Incredible. He wanted to take her In his arms, tell her ot Ills love, but, in that moment, ho wns more embar rassed than sho. Wilh a quick. nervous niovemeut he' turned away' and, crosulng to the dressing table, commenced doing something lusny and unnecessary to his lie. An arm chair had been placed Invitingly besldo tho glass doors that led nut onto a minute balcony. Presently, as Bhe camo over to him, ho put Ills anus' about her and pulled her down onto his knees iShe curled herself up on his Inp like n sleepy kitten, burying her face ngalnnl his shoulder. "Happy, Barbara?" Ills lips played with her linlr. A hare whlto arm stole nround his neck, holding him very tight. rVes. ll-.iy." Ho sat there, motionless for some time, staring out into the night. I'reseutly, a alight trowu wrinkled his brow and twice ha opened his moifth and shut It again. Klnally ho said: "Barbara girl, we've got to ninkd, a succtsB of this this marriage of ours, haven't wo?" Sho looked Into his fnco wonder ingly. "But, ot course, It's going to bo a success." Ho eclioed after hor, "Of course," then a moment Inter, as though lie had tried but could not keep back what wns In his mind, "hut don't think It will he easy. Wo'ro bolh pig-headed. You scored In our Ural bout today, but you're out going to do so every time." She sighed. Here ho was bolus dltllcult again. But sho had no In tontlon ot arguing with lilui then "How absurd you aro. You should know perfectly well that I don't want to 'score' ns you plit It. From' now on everything will a 60-30 proposition." Ho opened his month to say some thing rurlhcr, hut quickly she placed a mift-lalniorl hand over it. "Don't let's talk, nny moro now. Hay Wo only hurt eacli other when wo talk. Just lovo mo, tonight," Hay. . . . You do lovo mo . . . ?" Ho said chokingly: "I ilu lovo yon, Barbara," and drew her down moro tightly Into his arms. , PROCLAIMS FI Insurance Makes the Home Possible Klrklaml uiid (li-oi-jio Kli kl.irul.
