"Let'e become anavoldablv ai tent," the suggested, hurriedly un latching a French window. "And you'd better leave tomorrow, don't you think? Father hasn't quite the atamlna to relinquish the son-in-law ot bl prayers without making a grievance of It." Armltage followed her Into the garden. It lay dark ttd aromatic against Its fringe of Hrs and the autumn chill that last bitter-sweet breath ot . ellowlng leaf and iead flower stirred Leila's black balr and made play with her fantastic fringes. "In any case," she threw at him as they turned In the direction of the garage, "I don't imagine that you'll want to stay on It It's true that Barbara and Mark are to mar ry on Thursday." "But she mustn't marry Lodely on Thursday or ever. I want her to marry me." "Wanting her won't mean getting her!" "I've generally got what t want ed, provided I've worked tor It" "You're mad, my dear. Million airing has turned your head. You've bought so much so many emeralds for so man: women that you think you can buy Barbara." "Going 10 help me?" She regarded him through the beavy shadows. "D'you feel sure you'll get your emerald's worth?" "That's cheap and nasty ot you Leila. Yon kn w well enough why I'd like to give you something you care about" 8he walked on. He bad to keep close to her shoulder to bear her words. "All right: ril help you fall. Don't hate me afterwards, though. And don t forget the emerald." "We've a good deal to be thank' ful for," pronounced Mrs. Lodely. "Apart from .the shakln', Mark's none the worse. Bxceptln' In bis temper," sht added, with the laugh so familiar to Barbara that It was the drat thing she expected from Marka mother. Neither Barbara, In ber obalr by tb Ore, nor Mrs. Lodely, oomlng . forward to bestride the hearth in her mannish way, were big women: but they gave the appearance ot Ailing the sitting-room ot Kings Barn. The reason lay In the room. There were a great many small tables and large chairs In every eorner and on every ledge stood brlc-a-brao, and the over-flowered wall-paper was plastered with wa ter-colors ot no merit or interest whatsoever. When Mrs. Lodely moved an arm to take her ciga rette-case out of her pocket, she did It gingerly. Even so, a china ornament on the mantel-shelf rat tled and slipped dangerously near the edge, Barbara smiled, but It was a dull ful smile. She had never In all the years of her love and pity for Hark she bad never quite made up her mind about Mark's mother. Sometimes she liked her Immense ly. Sometimes no. It was Inde finable. Mrs. Lodely couldn't, alter all, help her loud, frequent laugh and her eve. .istlng tweods and the drawl that bad been "the thing when she rode to hounds In her girlhood. She couldn't help these things and on the other side of the medal, tbere was her unfaltering courage In facing poverty and lone liness and Mark. . . . "You'll come and stay with us In Toxeter as soon as ever you can?' be asked. "You betl My only chance ot gettln' away from this holel What about Christmas?" "Oh, before then, Judy, pleasel "It I come at Christmas 1 shall only be glvln' you a couple ot months to yourselves. Short enough!" "Why pretend that we shall bs the average, conventional boney mooners?" demanded Barbara, ber Irritation returning. "Our mar riage everything Is different from most marriages and our lives J. !S SANTA CLAUS. Ind Dec. ft (If) Reappointment by President Hoover today e! James T.

"I wonder it you both thoroughly realize that my job keeps me out all day, every day?" "'Course we do!" returned Mrs. Lodely heartily. "But Mark won't mope for bis shabby old mother even It he is left alone at borne. He'll make friends. Fill the house with 'em. You'll come back to find em all amokln' and drlnkln' and talking'" "We shan't be able to afford very much hospitality of that kind. Judy, dear. Not at first anyway." My dear gel, Mark naturally won't sponge on you for things like smokes and drinks he'll pay tor em out of his own pocket" "Ob, I know," agreed Barbara hurriedly. And In case of emergency, thero's his legacy, the three hun dred poundt from bis Aunt Alice." She puffed out smoke again and laughed. "Funny to remember 1 once paid that for a fur coat!" Poor Judyl" At once Barbara was filled with the passion ot pity that Mark and bis mother could al ways arouse In her. "Dear Judy, lite hasn't been fair to you!" "Ob, my dear gel, I'm not com- plainin'l It's on you children that plnchln' and scrapln' comes bard." "On Mark, yes, very bard. I can manage perfectly. But you'll see, I'll take good care of Mark." She made a little grimace at the bric- a-brac "Anyway, my rooms will be barer than these. One advan tage of not being able to afford much furniture!" "Look here, Babs, If you dont mind my sayln' so 1 believe Mark feels It a bit when you talk about 'my rooms and 'my' Income and all that Ot course, In theory, there's no earthly reason why a woman shouldn't make mere money than a man and spend It on both of 'em, but the way things will be with you two, in an ol cathedral city Uks Toxeter well, any man would feel It Especially If he's as sensitive as Mark. Mark'll feel It very badly." Barbara looked down Into the Are. No sense In arguing with Judy on such a subject as this. Instead "1 must bs more careful," she agreed lightly, and added "I think I'll go up to him. It's only Just nine and he never sleeps before midnight does he?" "Not otten. But 1 don't know whether he'r In a wicked mood," concluded Mrs. Lodely, and this time her augh covered a distinct Ill-ease. "Poor Mark!" said Barbara soft ly and lett the room. Mrs. Lodely listened to her foot steps on the stairs tor a moment and then, pitching away ber ciga rette, ant down in the empty chair by the tire and took her close cropped grey bead Into her hands. It was the attitude ot despair, the pose ot detest But when she moved slightly and showed her eyes to the Are and the orowded room and the autumn eve ning outside, they were not the eyes of the oonquered. They were absorbed, calculating, patient and, withal, fundamentally stupid, "Once they're married" ah said aloud, checked herself with a cautious glance round her, and tell again Into ber reverie. Barbara, on her way to Mark, turned aside Into Judy's room to borrow some powder and fun a comb through her hair. Also, to brace herself against the mpment wben Mark's mood should turn Its cruelty upon her and exhaust Itself upon her -teadfaatness. . . . She stood In front ot the long glass and seriously studied herself face, figure, hands. Her beauty was Important to ber because It was through her beauty that she reached Mark. He might be cruel, but to her bis cruelty would always be tbe crying of the ailing child; she bad other mem ories of blm and while tbey ruled he held her lite in his thin hands. She lett Judy's room, sighing a little, and went lightly across the landing. On this landing tbere was a settee with the springs bulging out a grandfather clock that wouldn't go and a bamboo plant stand. Mark's room, however, was tolerably clear. Mark, In pajamas and dressing gown, wss lying on n couch near the fire. Barbara quietly took a chair opposite him and then, fear ing that tbe room was chilly, lifted a log from th basket and put it on. It was ; thick tor the small grate and .. fell with a clatter back on to the tire-Irons. Mark laughed. (Copyright. Itjt.

SYNOPSIS: A dwarf who bu vtolcn all of Santa's keys la Imprisoned In a cave by two dolls, Inga and Plnoc cblo, helped by - fairies. They want the whistle the dwarf uses to call to gether his toads who are hiding the keys, which he stole after the dolls burned his sister, the witch. Chapter XVI Getting the Keys Letting tbe dwarf out of his prison was harder than locking him In. The elves wove hundreds of ropes of long grass and made little harnesses for Inga's tiny donkeys. Then, they wound the long grass ropes about the rock and all the little donkeys pulled hard. Finally the rock moved a few Inches and the dwarf squeezed out as fast as he could. "You're nothing but thieves!" he cried, shaking bis fists at Inga and Plnocchlo. He was so angry It looked as though he were going to hurt them. So the little elves grabbed blm and held him. "Now we're going to whistle and call all these toads of yours," said the woods fairy, "and when we do we'll expect you to command them to drop the keys so that these two little dolls can take them back to Santa." The dwarf looked very frightened and he agreed to do It. So the fairy took the whistle and blew on It three times, and up bop ped all the little toads. m IT MEANS CATC4'Nt VvteuWow sea A- HeBdON L-Aud.4-AN1 ILL AM 77. r.3 km, 7..

"Now what shall we do to the dwarf?" asked the fairy. "Maybe he's sorry," suggested Inga. "Let me talk to blm." She walked up to him and said: "Don't you know that you could be very happy If you gave up our way of living. We have such a good time at the toyshop. But we work all day long at making people happy. I'm sure Santa would give you something to do If you promised to be good1 "Well, It does get lonesome around here now that my sister Is gone," ad mitted the dwarf. "Would you ask Santa about me?" "We'll do better than that. You can come back with us and ask him yourself." "No?? we must hurry," said Plnoc chlo. So the two dolls got Into their little coach and amid loud cheers from everybody, they were off with the dwarf riding In the high coach man's seat. t It wasnt long before tbe dolls again spotted the roots of Toyland, and It seemed Just a minute before they were bursting in through the Toyshop door.
