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. ,
