Be yond question be knew her she was the woman towards whose love he had been shaping since earliest years. And there she sat, found at last, his destiny woven Into the pearly gUks at her breast there she sat and Insulted hl-i as grossly as he had ever been Insulted: rated him lower than aoy man, woman or beast bad ev rated him yet. "Yon Ignorant, conceited, lovely little fool!" he added; still In his most civil tones. " 'Barbara' doesn't the name mean a barbarian, a strangert You are only a bar barian evidently, strange to the ways of real men and women. What a lot I am to teach you about life!" He saw her face flame and whiten. He went on, choosing bis words, placing hit. blows. He was not In the least sorry for her it was Mark he was hitting through her, by her own choice. It bad to be. "You see, such a lot of beauty Is offered to any man," he told her "any wealthy man, 1 mean, with reasonable health and an ordinary appoarance. It would sicken you If I were to describe to you one-half of the number of beautiful women who have been willing to make their bargains with me. It would sicken you and, because you're a blind little snail town bat, you'd think I was boasting, whereas 1 should simply be dispensing with nock modesty. ... So we'll take the list as read and refrain from add ing your name to it." She cried nut: "Because I was stupid there's no need for yon to be brutal I" "On the contrary, there la every need. You're very strong, you know, Barbara, and It can only be by strength I'm to release you from Mark. Mark I Take your mind off him for a moment, your whole mind. Push him aside for a very tew minutes and stand up to me as a free womat as 1 am a (roe man. "When I strike at your pride and your beauty," he went on, "Btrlke back at my weakness and my pas sion I'm not a cripple, you know. or an old woman, or an Influential client. I'm your equal In strongth: In some ways, I'm to be your mas ter; In others your servant. But JUBt now we're enemies so stand up to me, yon little slacker, and hll'" She had struggled to her feet In her flrst furious amazement; but It seemed to him that he had plucked her out ot her chair as he had plucked her back from the truck wheels In that tar-off time that was not six hours ago. She faced him across four feet ot unstained floor, a piece of old carpet, and the emerald she had tor gotten. Yes, at last she had forgot ten Mark. , , . Armltage, using her 'anger as a key tc lock Mark out, proceeded to make her ungrler still. "You couid hurt me, Barbara Quontln, U yea knew how, just as 1 can hurt you. Well, Inarn how to hurt me, when needful. We shall often desire to hurt ach other Perpetual pity, you know, Is not a bracing state ot nJlnd. You're pitied too much, you've lost tone, you've (one to sleep emotionally. When you wept over Mark, you were a mother who bad lost a child. Now you're a woman who is most In tensely loved. Well?" He waited. He saw her swallow -convulsively At last "Yon may say all that you have to say. Mr. Armltage, and then you'll leave this house my house and Mark's." "Better!" he approved. "There's a savagery under that. Once you feel definitely that you hate mo, we've made a start." "Yon flatter yourself there. I don't hate yon for what you've boon MARION TO LEVY BALTSM.

"You actually have It In your power and Instead of doing It you quibble and moralize about tbe na ture of my love tor him! 1 didn't know 1 didn't dream that anything aa ungenerous as you could exist!" "Belter and better! That's real ly a very good dig because It has shown me up to myself. I'm almost sorry that I can counter It." "How7" "By agreeing to do all those tbingt for Mark." Shetook a.i uncertain step back wards. He thought ehe swayed a little and he stood ready to catch ber. She stared at him, her eyes wide and fixed. "You m(&n that?" "Certainly 1 mean It! Of course, 1 can't promise you health and suc cess for blm aa If they were a penny's worth of candy. But I'll do my utmost And you. In return " He paused and saw the terror darken in her eyes. "No, no," he said gently. "You've lived too long among half-shadows and hidden meanings and lord knows what Real life Isn't a bit like that. ... 1 want you. In return for my willingness to remodel Mark, to promise me that you won't marry him, well or 111, for a year at least." "In a year, will be be well?" "That's for tbe doctors to say; but probably In a year It will oe clear what kln of a life can be made for blm." For a moment sbe was silent; then she burst out passionately with: "How can 1 understand you? Af ter all you've said to me, how can I believe that you'll do these things for Mark? Whether they're suc cessful or not, 1 shall marry him. What do you get?" "You." "I've told you and told you why should I want to marry you? "Because when Mark's well, mak ing money, enjoying himself, you'll be splrlt-tree. You'll be tree to choose your man. and you'll choose me. . I'm a sounder choice than even a rich, famous, cheerful Mark, and you'll know It," "Never!" "Well, will you give me that year?" She did away, now, and he caught her. She lay against his shoulder tor the second time that day and for the second time he laughed down at ber. "Give me that year?" "Yos." She made no effort to escape his arm and he quietly held her. "Very well. And on Thursday 1 start work on Mark. And now I'll take you back to Kings Mallard." He felt hor sliako her bend. "No. I want to stay here." "As you please." He drew the wooden chair towards him with his foot and lowered her Into It. She sat as though ooreft ot strength; nevertheless, ne thought there was a faint disappointment In the set of her Hps and be laughed once more, but tble time silently. "Aa you ploase," be repoeted. He stooped, picked up the emerald and held It out to ber. When she drew violently away from It, be dropped It Into his own pocket and, without any kind of farewoll, he left her. As he slammed the door of the odious little house behind a tin be suspeeted that Inquisitive ourtnlns fluttered next door. He glared at them as ho got oaoK Into tne Dovit let. . "Give 'em something to talk about," he muttered: he drow a rug over bis knees, turned up his coat collar and lit a cigarette. Smoking, thinking, watching, he lot tbe hours slip by. The lampt In the neighbor-bouse had long been extinguished, the moon had dropped behind the cathedral, but through the Intervening fanlights, Barbara's gleam came faintly out to him. Once he thought be heard her footsteps but he did not Investi gate. He kept bis watch over ber and believed that she knew It. Between Ave and six o'clock h got out of the car, stamped briskly upon the stubs of his many ciga rettes and drove quietly back to Kings Mallard. (Copyright. Inst.
