FARRELL'8 LETTER
AS the Toioter baa get Barbara
down In ins Tarn Market, "he
aw that lights were springing up
In tbs town, although It was only a
little after tonr o'clock.
She wa very tired. Her assistant
at the shop had been stupid, cus
tomers bad been trying and none of
her wholesale orders bad arrived
for a bouse she was decorating. She
made a dispirited way towards the
rooms sbe bad occupied until a (ew
days ago.
There, rising up behln the town,
was Upper Mallard bill, where Far
rell Armitage had spent one of bis
early years. Somewhere In its folds
was the terraced slope wbere the
Lodelys had bad their bouse and
wbere she, too, as a very little girl,
had lived and played In tbe sun.
Mot tor tbe first time she found
. Darban was
occasion to wonder by what strange
financial Jugglery ber tathor and
Mark's should have died ruined d
broken, while Cane, their partner,
bad prospered.
Bbe reached her old lodgings and
found, as sbe had siiBpected, that
Some letters bad not been forward
fa. '1 wuu only sayln' yesterday I
sstould ave to send them on to you,
apologised ber landlady,
- "When did they come?" demand
ed Barbara, tearing open the first,
which was addressed In Judy's
sprawling band, Mrs. Rtdd medi
tated profoundly and Barbara read
Judy's letter.
"It was funny you saying the
other day that you telt there was a
change coming to Kings Barn,"
wrote Mrs. Lodely. "Ton were right.
I heard from my sister this morning
and she Is coming back to live there
after all.
"I don't know I'm sure what we
hall do for a home, all plans now
being upset, but I thought perhaps
you wouldn't mind getting tbe place
oleaned up and packing our things,
the trunks are In the attlo.
"I thought perhaps you could let
me have a room In tbe Toxotor
bouse to keep the trunks until we
are more sottled, so tar all I can say
Is that Mark says be will be here for
a year at least, so I suppose I may
as well stay, too.
"Farrell Armitage baa been doing
verytblng for Mark's comfort, al
most too much. I must say In a way
I oan't see why he troubles. Per
haps you can make him out hotter
than me. He even talks of getting
fresh medical advice for Mark.
When Kings Barn is ready for band
Ing over, hotter leave keys with Mrs.
Rldd. Mncb love from Judy."
"Twuis Monday that come,"
vouchsafed Mrs. Rldd suddenly
"Monday, so 'twuis."
"You should bave sent It on,"
slghod Barbara, pushing It Into ber
pocket. "You -lid promise to for
ward letters, didn't you?"
In the course of the noxt tow niln
otes It became evident that the time
to sort, pack and remove Mrs. Lod
ly'a possessions to Toxeter would
be that very evening. Resignedly
Barbara faced IU She save Mrs.

on tbe following da. and to keep tbe
keys until called tor. Tben she tier
self went on to tackle ber share of
the pother.
As she turned In tbe direction of
Kings Barn sbe found that she still
held tbe second letter unopened In
ber hand. . Sbe stopped under a
street lamp and scrutinised It. A
square envelope, expensively heavy
and plain sbe started and thrust It
Into tbe other pocket.
It was, of course, from Farrell
Armitage. Well, b must wait he
must wait until she had accom
plished this urgent service tor Judv
and Mark.
There was another street-lamp
Just abead. Sbe walked past It, ad
juring herself not to stop, not to
read the letter Farrell bad sent ber.
Sho was not curious to know Its con
tents. Sbe bad no time. . , . She
turned and went back to tbe lamp
and opened bis letter.
"Dear Barbara, in my Ignorance
and general ofllclousness 1 bad a
couple of rooms fitted up for Mark
the sight of wbicb will, I tear, re
duce him to frenzy. Will you come
up and put them right? Farrell
Armitage."
That was all. Sho felt llloglcally
disappointed that he had found ao
more to say. Sbe did not for one
moment consider the possibility of
very tired.
doing what be asked. To work for
Farroll under Mark's sneering smile
would be Intolerable.
Doslilos, If sbe did go to London,
there would be Miss Raoul's com
mission first . She found that she
had passed the garage where sbe
must order a car to convoy tbe
Lodely luggage to Toxotor. She bad
to retrace ber steps and order It
It was to come In two hours.
Two hours gave her only Just long
enough, but as she lot herself Into
Kings Barn, sbe was glad she would
have no time to waste.
Sbe put on an old smock of Judy's
and dragged the trunks from the)
dusty corners. She tackled Mark's
room first, but be bad loft very lit
tle behind him.
When things were In place, she
said good-bye to the room and went
across to Judy's. . .
Here thora was more to do. Bar
bara, who had known ber so long,
was appalled at the Utter, Old
scarvos, old stockings, bits and
ends of ribbons Barbara took upon
herself to throw away at least ball
the accumulation.
Thore remained now the two
downstairs rooms and tbe kitchen.
Excopt tor Mark's books which had
to be packed separately, there was
little here belonging to either moth
er or son, A cigarette case of Judy's
lay on the mantelpiece, Mark's
gramophone was on a table. There
was a battered darning basket in
the drawers of a desk thore were
some papers.
Without examining thorn, Bar
bara lirted them out She added to
the collection some notepaper and
a fountnln pen and thou, on an Ira
pulse, sat down and wrote Farrell
Armitage that she was not tree to
come to London.. The truck wai
due, but not yot in sight Barbara
decided to run -lit and post her lot

on the threshold ot the house when
she beard someone move In the sit
