TRUTHS FOR BARBARA
JfECHANICALLT Barbara went
l on collecting the document
that still bestrewed the table. Judy
had aald that ot her, that aho was
Jealous ot anyone else's power to
help Hark. And she had denied that
the accusation was Just. She still
denied ttt
It all the millionaires in the world
banded together to help him, tor
whatever reason, she would bless
them and praise them. But when a
girl, her rival tor Mark's favor, had
to buy him off with a sum of
money
"I must pay yon back," she said,
1 have beon saving bard lately but
now that I'm not to be married
tor at least a year, I can afford to
let some ot It go. Don't let's argue
about this at least."
Leila suddenly began to shout
at her again.
"Yon call everything 'argument'
that yon want to close your mind
to. Any discussion, any contradic
tion Is 'argument' and you won't
listen. Probably you're not listening
now, you're telling yourself that
s" I'm trying to stop your marrying
, Hark because I want him.
"That's quite true, I do want him,
or I think I do. Or perhaps you're
telling yourself that I want to
marry Farrell because I like him
so much. That's true, too; when he
told me he'd fallen In love with you,
I aald I'd help him get you."
'fYou bad no right to promise.
Ton knew"
"Knew! I knew you and Mark
were engaged and planned to
marry I But what ot thatT Engage
ments are broken sometimes. Mar
riages don't take place. Businesses
are sold or just neglected. Interior
decorators drop Tozeter whether
' Tozeter likes It or not and dash up
to do Jobs tor famous aotresses and
, millionaires.
"Life Is a hazard and a risk, Bar
bars, as well as looking ahead and
saving and working, it's funny I'm
no manner 'of use compared with
you, but I can see that you're los
ing such a lot. You plod and wait
and feel quite sure yon love Mark
and don't love Farrell and It's your
duty not to listen to any argument
about either and all the while real
lite Is riding by!"
The room was full ot the smell
ot the lamp and the mustlness ot an
old house, Barbara thought Irrel
evantly how she had always hated
: Kings Bnrn. Well, at any rate, what
: ever happened, Mark would never
have to live here again.
"Go and And paper and string,"
suggested Leila In' her normal
tones, "and we'll pack up this lit
ter." Barbara went obediently. Paper
and string should be In a kltehen
drawer, but she was not surprised
when she could not find them.
While she rummaged she remem
bered, In a miserable confusion,
that the emerald pendant was now
In Armltage's possession. Her face
aoorched. She would have to ask
him for It and, somehow, without
explanation, let Mark have It back.
"There's a piece ot paper here,"
called Leila.
Barbara gathered up all she had
been able to find and returned to
the sitting room. Leila waa busy
with a wrapping ot her own con
trivance. "It's newspaper from the bottom
of a drawer," she said. "Messy,
ler.t It? And not too strong. We'd
better use what yon found for an
outer covering."
"It makes a smaller parcel than
I thought," remarked Barbara, pre
occupied. Leila folded and turned and fas
tened diligently.
"How are yon getting back to
ToxeterT The last 'bus will have
Cone by now."
"There'll be a train later. Or I
can walk. It'a only my bead that
la so tired. Exorcise will clear It"
Til drive you," said Ljlla, over
riding all this. "My car's Just down
the road. And look here, could you
possibly put t up for the night
at ToxeterT I never felt less like
Bouth-tbe-Water."
"I could, hut I think you'd hate
It A eamp bed; and bread and
cocoa for supper. Besides "
"Whatr
"I've got to see your mother to
morrow about some panelling and
I don't much like deceiving her."

Barbara
Leila turned out the lamps and
marched EarbTu out ot the bouse.
She seemed determined that no sen
timental farewells should be taken
of the place. She piloted Barbara
out to the car, threw the parcel ot
papers Into her lap and still In
silence drove down the road and
began to skirt the town.
"You always make me sound
such a prig," said Barbara, to her
own surprise. There were tears In
her eyes. "And I'm not, really."
"You don't sound like a prig. Yon
sound steady and steadiness la out
ot date. And you sound beautiful,
and It's not fashionable to have a
beautiful voice. I don't wonder
Farrell Armltage "
"I wish you'd drive more care
fully," protested Barbara In desper
ation. "You very nearly ran over
that old woman 1"
"I've very nearly run over so
many old women. Sit tight now,
when we're over Upper Mallard bill
I shall let her rip."
Barbara sat tight She was not
frightened; eh loved speed. She
remembered how Farrell had let
her drive bis big car and, later,
bow he himself had driven, bis
hands sure and steady on the
wheel, his eyos sure and steady on
this very road.
Leila was letting the little scar
let car lip but this was not speed.
This was Just going too fast It
didn't give one the same sense of
power, the same absolute confi
dence. She was Just beginning to realise
that she would like to be driven by
Farrell Armltage again, when Leila
shot Into Toxoter, and drew up at
the gate of the new bouse.
Barbara Jumped out As though
she had only now received the gift
of sight she eyed her bouse, her
unmade garden, the Lodely luggage
on the front path (not on the back'
porch as the gnrago man had been
directed), the ugly wooden shed In
which she worked. Ob, It was all
so raw and she had jeon so proud
ot It!
"You can't put your car any
where, I'm afraid, Leila."
"I'll leave It out, this once. It's
going to be a mild night ... I say,
Barbara, you needn't worry your
good little head about my deceiv
ing ways. I want to dodge seeing
mother tonight but I shall very
probnbly want a chat with father
tomorrow. Now let's battle with
Judy's Junk."
In spite of Barbara's protests,
Leila insisted on taking the larger
share of the task. Heartily cursing
their weight and complexity, she '
hauled and hoisted the Lodely
things Into Mark's quarters.
Then she helped to prepare a
room for herself. By the time
supper was ready they could par
take ot It In an almost Intimate
allonco. The lost comradeship ot
childhood hovered. Leila, thought
Barbara, was nice, she was honest
deep iown. It was amatlng that,
when Farrell could have married
her, he should ever have preferred
anyone else.
"I'll turn In, Barbara. I'm fright
fully grntotul to you tor letting me
be here."
"I'm frightfully grateful to you
tor not calling me Dabs. Judy al
ways does and "
"Judy! She makes me sick I"
Bho swung oft and Barbara, too
tired even to put away the supper
things, went to bod also.
But she was not too tired to
dream. Again and again aha
dreamod It that she stood in a
darkened room and listened to the
volcos ot people she could not see.
But she knew who they were.
Mark's voice she beard and
Judy's, Leila's and Sugar Cane's.
Some telling hor this, some that;
and when eho put her hands to
her ears, they spoke loudor. Only
Farrell Armltage was aot there In
that hoavy, unhappy darkness. And
whon she woke, at dawn, the tears
were on her face. Was It possible,
she asked herself almost In fear,
tli.nt they wcra tears connected In
any way with lar.-ollt
Leila got up, tiptoed to the parti
tion botwoon her own and Bar
bara's room, and listened a long
time. There could be no doubt
that Barbara was sleeping, al
though It was not a quiet sleep.
Then she returned to the bed
(there was no chair), took a bulg
ing envelope full of Mrs. Lodely's
varl-colorod assortment ot papers
from her handbag, and began go
ing through them carefully and
systematically.
"That damn well finishes father,"
she muttered, as at last she turned
out the IlRht "Whatever else may
or may not be true, father'a goose
Is cooked."
