Chapter IS
THE NEIGHBORS PEEK
HE JUST looked at her, marvel
ling. TM U the, . . .' 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

Gandhi Release
Rumor Is Spiked
NEW DELHI, India, Dec. 31. (AP)
Report from London that the vice
roy, the Earl of Wllltngdon, waa to
resign and the Mahatma Gandhi waa
to be released Jaruary 1 were de
scribed here today aa "pure Inven
tions." Fender and body repairing. Prices
right. BriU fibtt Hetel Worts,
ara
saying to me. 1 hate you only be
cause you have It In your power to
give Mark health and happiness
and fame.
"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.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31. (AP) A
presidential veto for the Philippine
independence bill passed Friday
was forecast today by Senator Bing
ham (R.. Conn.)
The head of the senate territories
committee told newspapermen he
feared President Hoover "could not
sign the Philippine bill in view of
the opposition of Secretaries Hurley
and Stlmson." but added that he
hoped the chief executive would.
Bingham expressed the opinion that
"If this bill Is not made effective,
a worse one will be passed next time
because of the selfish interests in
agriculture."

The skin of a man's tcreo "wtth
enough flesh attached to it to -give
It a quarter of an inch thickness and
with both legs attached but with th
head and one arm missing, was foil nd
early today at the incinerator plaint
of the city dump. 1
There were no marks of Identiflcai
tion and employees at the dump sali A
they had no knowledge of how it wa&uar
delivered there.
Police and deputy sheriffs express-
ed the opinion the dead man was the
victim of some skilled surgeon, pos
sibly crazed, as there were three In
cisions In the skin that had been
made with expert cure. One was in
the abdomen and two were in the
groin. Stitches were found in the
skin.
Edward Davis, a negro worker at J
the dump, made the gruesome discovery.
