Mark, you remember Far rell Armitage who used to come to our parties frob; Upper Mallard Tlcarage? That would be while you wore In France, Babs. You weren't there. Mark, show Mr. Armitage" "I'm glad you're not seriously the worse for your accident," ald Far rell, sitting down near tbe couch. He kept hli attention upon Mark. He bad bowed to the girl and re ceived a welcoming murmur that was not echoed by her eyes. Then he had Ignored her. But he did not need to look at her to be aware of everything about her. The way her nnlr sprang trom her wide, low forehead; the way her hands lay lackly round a dark leather case. "I'm glad to have the chance ot thanking you for your timely aid," aid Mark Lodely charmingly. (Ar mltage admitted the cbarm.) "1 don't otten 'fal! but when I do 1 feel totally unable to get up again." "Mark, Mr. Armitage Is Interested in your" "I remember your coming to play In our garden, Armitage a great, hulking brute you were and you put a bigger brute, a cousin of mine, well into tho lily-pond. I couldn't sleep that night tor joy." "And I couldn't sleep for well, I bad an Interview with the vicar when I got home," Armitage recol lected grimly. "Lord, that dear old man had a wonderful stroke In those days I" Barbara bad turned her face to ward! him and he allowed himself casual return of her glance. Tbe darkness was passing from her eyes but her lips still suffered. He felt a great longing to see her smile. He began to talk easily, entertain ingly. He had traveled, worked, watched men and women travel and work there must be something out ot all that to make her smile I He talked through Mrs. Lodely's laugh and presently she stoppod laughing and became genuinely amused. Mark's negligent charm .quick ened to excitement to admiration.' His eager comments begged for more. More llfe-rnioro fun more, morel Only the girl at the Are nei ther laughed nor spoke. Armitage abruptly turned to hor, checking himself In mid-anecdote. Her eyes and be had been right about them, they were deep hazel had grown friendly, rather wistful Unchallenglng. Her 'ovellnoss was like a sudden rush of light and be neath that and beyond It was his feeling that she was his. 'This It the this it $hel" ... He thrust , everything from him but his strategy. "I'm forgetting," he said. "1 sit garrulously here while tbe question remains unsolved as to why my dancing-partner has left me In the lurch." Tbe eolor rose under the white petal skin. "You mean me," Mr. Armitage? But I wasn't going to dance td night, was IT" "Not" Armitage reminded himself to be very gentle and casual. "Miss Cane must have got confused. She rc'uht ms -Icr." tc a d"ncc y Jolly dance with tbe promise of a wonderful partner and then told me to out along and (otch her." "Oh, those little hops at the As sembly rooms I" cut in Mrs. I odely. "People young people, you know, subscribe and bring tholr own part ners. Oldn't know you were mixed up In It, Babs?" piactlclly Insisted. But I've never da' jed there. I can't imagine why she thought I should tonight" She looked with a quiet simplicity to wards Mark. ' "Aren't you Leila's partner, Armi tage?" smiled Mark. "No, I'm odd mr.n out If Miss Quentln won't come along," said Armitage, thinking of the somewhat startled youth whom Leila had dug out ot his evening studies in order to bolster up the situation. "Not tljat that's of the slightest account, though, It you don't feel like It, Miss Cuentln?" ion a world of good!" urged Mrs Ltidely, boisterously. "It's ridicu lous you bottlln' yourc!t up here because Mark don't dance!" Again her train of thought was patent. Armitage could be kept in the circle, even If only for the time It took Barbara to change her dress. "I wonderif you'd care to show me some of your work, LodeIy7" "Of course he would! Mark, show Mr. Annitage oh, anythln'l There's plenty ot It, I'm sure! Only, unfortunately, a whole cupboardful has gore over to the new house at Toxeter and In any case the key's lost and the door'll have to be forced It any of those canvnes are ever to see the light again!" Mrs. Lodely laughed, deatenlngly. "But surely AM It - ft BATTLES RESCUE CHICAGO, Doe. 34.

Chapter XVIII IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE Just think 1 It was Christmas Eve Just as It Is today and this little fairy was setting out to help Plnoc chlo. Away she flew ver swiftly. And guess where she was going? To a little children's hospital. She knew It didn't have many toys and that It didn't have much money to buy them. When she arrived, the head nurse we feeling very sad because she didn't know how she ws.i going to make Christmas happy for the chil dren. The little fairy flew right up on the nurse's shoulder and whispered, "Why don't you write Santa for the funniest clowu he has and then all the children can lie In bed and watch blm dance?" Tne nurse never guessed it was a fairy talking to her, but she sat down end wrote Santa a letter and asked for Just what the fairy had told her. Then she rushed out to the mall-box and slipped the letter In. But the little fairy snatched It right out so she could take It back to Santa. "Here's a letter we forgot," she said as soon as she arrived. "Well, well," said Santa, "we can't forget any letteri." Then he read It, and shouted, "Ho, there, here's a whole bunch of little children who Just want a funny clown bring me one Oh I Bring Plnocchlo. Hell have children to piay with all the year long." I can tell you that shout made Plnocchlo happy. He stood light up and did a cart wheel and a couple of little Jig steps. And Inga, who had been watching, smiled so hap pily, because she knew she was going to some dear little girl, and she want ed Plnocchlo to be Just as happy as she was going to be. "I'm so glad, so glad," she cried, and the two of them Joined hands and danced all around the toyshop floor. "Now, my children, 8anta said, "this Is our list day together. I hate to see you go, but I know ?ou will do a great deal of good In the world. Always remember me." "We will;' shouted the toys. "Come and see us when you can." Then In bustled Mrs. Santa with her arms loaded with cookies and cups of steaming hot chocolate. "We certainly must have a last party," she cried. "In a minute you'll all be tiding through the snow filled sky and you'll need something warm to start on. So they had a fine party and Pln uccnlo did his last dance for the toys. Just as the clock struck six Santa began piling the bags of toys Into his huge sleigh, and the elves h tic ti ed up hts ftnt "elndeer so that he could start out on his trip. Tomorrow morning will be Christ mas. And Just as soon as it's light Just as the clock struck six, the elves hltitted ud Santa's reindeer so he could start out with his load of toys. you'll be running downstairs to see what Santa has left. Look very close for remember some little girl Is go ing to get Inga, the beautiful magic doll, and it may be you. Then, too, some of the soldiers and toys I've told you about may be in your stocking. As for Plnocchlo, he's sure to make the little hospital children happy, for he's bubbling, over with happiness himself. Above all, remember to love your toys, for they will love you.

What's all those sketches down by your teet, Babs!" "Show them If you like, Barbara," came from Mark. Something odd, Armitage thought, behind his per mission. With a quick movement the girl swept up the skeiMies and put them down at Mark's side. "No," she said. "Yon show them, if you like." Armitage watched the two ol them look at each other. "I'd rather you put them on the fire for me," said Mark. Then, at last, Armitage saw hor smile. . . . Ho secants aware that Mrs. Lode ly was arranging matters.
