Barbara was tartled.
But " She gestured round the
room and the gesture was, to Far
roll, pathetic "We are to be mar

I had told you."
- "Oh yes, you told me! And I know
you will tell me next that you are
going to marry because you love
each other. But what you feel for
Mark Isn't love."
She lay back In the chair, her
heavy lids closed, her bands ex
haustedly upon her knees.
"Someone else has told you so
already I" he exclaimed. And, as
she nodded "Well, whoever It was
didn't make you sei sense, so I'm
going to. And I'm adding this bit
of news Mark doesn't love you."
"An but, you sen," she said, un
stinting, "he does. He does love
me."
"I think not ' A man who loves a
woman Armltage took breath for
the brutality of It "doesn't put off
his wedding-day tor a Jaunt to

A quiver ran through her and the
faint color that had crept into ber
face, drained away again; but she
did not open her eyes.
"Has he done that?"
"Yes. Next Thursday he'B com

"I wasn't going to pretend. He
has postponed our marriage before
and not even for sucb a good reason

Bewildered, astonished, Armltage
oould only give a quick laugh.
"All the same," he went on, cut
ting into his excitement, "he does
love me. I know it, beyond any
manner of doubt; In his own way,
he always has and In his own way
he always will. As for me, what
ever you call that feeling that 1
have for him, it's the strongest I've
ever known. The strongest, the
clearest, the most unchanging."
"Rot! It's nothing but a habit of
mind a fixation, don't they call It?

"Pity! Pity Isn't love."

He wheeled abruptly upon her.
"1 want you, Barbara Quentin, to
forget Mark for a few minutes, and
think about me."
She gave her faint, frank little
smile.
"I am thinking about you already,
I was Just going to ask you why
you Invited Mark to stay with you
on a day which you knew was his
wedding-day."
He had hoped for this.
Because 1 don't want you to
marry him on Thursday. Or at all."
Her smile vanished.
"I want you to marry me," he

Her heavy lids flow open. She
struggled up In ths chnlr and he
put out a hand to drnw her to hor

"You aren't Joking," she said half
to herself, staring up at him.
"No. Oh no, I'm not Joking. I've
waited all my life for you and now
that I ve found you I don't feel

for the probability of your turning

"In that one respect then," she
said very crisply, "I shall not dis
appoint you."
She dragged herself out of her
chair and turned away. He consid
ered that she looked lovelier in her
anger than tn any other mood, her
face stung to the pale rose color and
her eyes dark and bright and cold.
He watched hera without a glance
at the portrait on the floor, to where
she had laid aside her coat. -
"You'll take me back now,
please?" she requested, shaking out
too furs.
Oh yes, I'll take you back."
Armitage sighed sharply. "I'll let
you drive, too, if you want to. My
generosity of spirl) is an aspect of
me that I particularly want you to
study."
He could not see her face as she
bent over the furs, but he sensed
that again her mood was veering.
'We will resume our discussion,"
he said, carefully flippant. "And we
shall yet go to Bogey Cove by moon
light and either be devoured or per
mitted to drown."
"Have you told Mark why you
Insisted on Thursday?"
"No. You'll do that"
She still kept her face averted
but she put aside the coat.
She stood there for a few min
utes, by the door, and gazed back at
the Are she had -eft; she gave the
curious suggestion that it was tell
ing her something forbidding her
to leave It until or unless? Then
she walked back to It very slowly
and as though magnetized. She
dropped again into the deck chair
and sat leaning forward, her hands
clasped and drooping, her mind
utterly withdrawn from him.
He, too, had returned to the fire.
He stood with an elbow on the nar
row ledge above it and waited. She
was now so many fathoms deep In
herself that he knew the humilia
tion of non-oxistence; and yet he
was afraid to make any noise that
would shatter the delicate world
Into which she had gone.
All his life, he was to remember
these slow minutes these fascinat
ing. Inexplicable, maddening min
utesin which he waited motion
less for her to come back.
The quality of their Bilence had
nearly mesmerised him also, when
suddenly she spoke. Only her
voice, he thought, could float out
like that, eo low, bo clear one with
the firelight, the stillness, the night
hour,
"Is It possible," she said, "to
make a bargain with you?"
He still waited.
"If I promised to marry you with
out loving you, without even liking
or admiring you very much, would
you make Mark well?"
"No," he said politely. "No, I'm
afraid that wouldn't be at all pos
sible." He was so angry with her that
he dared not move.

The best dry leadership In the
house beer fight came privately from
the White House. Profeslonal dry
pomoters did not even alt together
in the gallery or speak to each other.
Mr. McBrlde of the Anti-Saloon league
was on one side of the chamber.
Bishop Cannon was Just as far away
as he could get on the other side.
Walt&r Newton, presidential politi
cal secretary, rushed Into the breach.
He called the congressmen on the
telephone offering suggestions. One

would only raise $125,000,000 In reve

Long In the Philippines fight.
The Louisiana senator fought long
and hard for the kind of a bill he
wanted. He made himself such a
nuisance the bill waa substantially
altered to suit htm. Sugar Importa
tions were reduced in deference to
Louisiana sugar producers. The bill
was passed. Huey went away on busi
ness or pleasure.
No sooner was he out of the way
than action started. House and senate
conferees reached a swift agreement.
Long's Ideas were disregarded. Al
lowances for sugar Importations were
Increased. The bill was alapped
through the senate without a vote be

sometimes weeks.
BITING REPLY BY
WASHINGTON, Defl. S0-(p) An
assertion that "the Democrats have
no program" was made in the house
today by Representative Schafer (R..
Wis.), In what he said was a reply
to "untrue statements" ty Senator
Robinson of Arkansas, minority
leader.
"The Arkansas senator," Schafer
said, "charges the Republicans and
Republican lame ducks with attempt
ing to block the Democratic program
to force a special session.
"He doesn't know what he is talk
ing about. All seven of the repre
sentatives from this state voted
against repeal of the 18th amend
ment. Why doesn't he use some M
his Influence with them? If six of
the Arkansas Democrat had voted
for repeal It would have passed. Only
one of the Arkansas representatives
voted for the beer bill. What about
this repudiation of their platform
pledges?"
Schafer said the Democrats had
made the tariff a campaign issue and
yet while in control of the house they
"hadn't even lowered the duty on
aluminum pants buttons, for all their
talk about Andy Mellon."
