Lodely and Cane died bankrupt, and Jamee Cant pros pered. Farretl is spendino much money to launch Hark Lodely a a artist, beoauee he is tn love with Barbara Quenttn Mark's fi.am4e, and hopes to win her from stark when the latter ut an oven competitor. Uark interrupt Armltaps and Fools, a usual in sultlngly. Chapter IS MARK AT HIS WORST POOLE beamed at Mark. "Won't jroa come to the flrer Mark took no notice of blm but waited until Arroltaga repeated the Invitation; then he came forward and leaned against a chair back. Poole did not trouble to mpproei a chuckle. Showing the hired man hie place In front of bis employer, h? Neat atunt, that. Armltage, obllrloua of the by-play, waa hand ling a couple of lettera, "It you have a few mlnutea to pare, Lodely" "My dear Armltage, we're agreed, nrely, that my time la youra?" "I wrote to Mlaa Quentln, as you suggested, about the studio, but he Is unable to come. I wrote again, a day or two ago, but she Is till unwilling to undertake tbe commission." Poole stared at the Are. Arm Itage'a voice had given him away. It was a woman. Lodoly waa murmuring, through his smile "It really doesn't matter. Pre looked at Malaria's handiwork and It will do beautifully tor everything icept work. And, for work, I can carry on where I am." "In Armltage's room?" enquired Poole, atlll beaming. "In Armltage'a room," assented Lodely, still showing, eror so lightly, his teotb. "Then, Pre also boon In com munication with Sir Robort Pull hay," went on Armltage. "He was a friend of my father's." "Yesf Another millionaire, I presume?" "No. Sir Robert Isn't a million aire and I don't expect be ever will be; hla Interests don't lie In money-making. He Is, or was, very famous bone-setter." "Oh, a quack I" said Mark In differently. "Sir Robert Pbllhay la recog nised by the medical profession," Armltage said patiently. "I don't think he's called a quack nowa days. At any rate, he has brought off some marvelous cures. I wanted him to come and see you." A flash passed over Mark's face. It was gone In an Instant, but It softened Poole ' Into sympathy again. Poor devil, he had known hope gnd longing, under that bit terness I "He Is rather ocoontrlo. Ho" Armltage hesitated. "He says he hasn't coma up to Town for many years and be'd rather we went to see hint. He montlons next Tues day. He offers to put us up." Poole made a quick. Involuntary movement. He knew exactly what eras going to happon. "As It happens, next Tuesday Is Impossible. That's the ntght'ot my party," eroded Mark. "But, good Oodl your party? You can have a party any nlghtl" don't think so. I'm booked for very other evening and I've made good deal of splash about my Tuesday night studio parties. This, u the Drat of them, Is the most Important." "More Important than the chance of being made a sound man In tead of" Armltage caught back the word. Poole, his eyes on his shoes, tried to focus Armltage's mind with his own. Dammit all, telepathy was possible, why shouldn't It work be tween them now? Armltage Armltage stick to your wheel don't let the little whelp spoil your Berve. . . . "We'll leave It for the time be ing, Lodely, shall we?" Much better. Poole nodded solemnly at hla shoes. That was much more the way to handle htm. Eound Idea, telepathyl "My dear Armltage, don't put jroursolf to sucb trouble In the mat ter. Poor though I am, I have been examined by several men of genuine repute; and they are agreed that w" case Is beyond them." "Wonderful how sweet-tompered you always koopl" put in Poole. "Example to the rest of us, abso lutely!" "Besides I must ask mysolf, Arm ltage, whether I can conscientious ly accept this further charity at your hands. You are Interested In my welfare solely because of say talent I may possess. Arent you?" 'Don't go too far," warned Arm ltage. His voice was so very much as usual that Poole reined and took leisure to study Lodely. "Along what road?" he taunted. Armltage straightened slowly and slowly moved away from his chair. He spoke over his shoulder. Don't go too far. Amuse your self with ridiculing me and my friends. If you choose; but remem ber that It wouldn't really ault yon to be packed back to the prov inces." Tbe artist's furious eyes followed him. "That threat comes too late to be effective," be said. "If you throw me out of here, there are a half dozen bouses open to me. You've let me get my feet too firmly In." "I doubt that. Not many men would give you the rope you de mand." "I don't bother about the men. My strong suit Is always the wo men." i "Tbe women!" Armltage's dis gust thickened the words to a snarl. He went to the door, dragging bis pipe from his pocket. Poole re joiced at the action the strain was over. Lodely lot him got to tbe door. Thon "I could give you a lot more ad vice about wonnn," be murmured. Armltage mado no sign ot having heard. Ho was feeling for bis tobacco-pouch. It be stopped at tbe door. It was perhaps only because he wanted to fill his pipe. You should not only never pur sue them (I've already told you that) but you should never let them succeed II pursuing you. If they try to, by all means encourage the idea; but nevor lot them run you to eartb." "Whistle when you want them," concluded the mockery from the big chair, "but by the time they come panting up, be elsowliere." Poole was surprised that Arml tage should make response. "There may be such women. Evidently there are, hncause men of your calibre generally talk that kind of poison. But there are wo men who In spite of tholr pity for you and tholr kindness, are not to be whistled to your side when tbey have once docidod that tbey will not come." "I wonder!" Armltngo opened the door. Poole. watching both men, ' knew thst Armltage would not yet be allowed to go. "By the way, Armltage, I should be much obltgod I' you would write to Barbara agalu. On socond thought I can't occupy your bod room for tho whole year of my stay. If Barbara can Ox me up a workroom somewhere, and honest? ly, sho's the only porson who knows what I need, I can get down to hard work." "I've wrltton to Miss Quontln twice. Sho's quite firm In her ro fusal. It woiild.be usoIobs for me to" "Perhaps It would. Porhaps It would be useless for you." The emphaBls was dolicate but un mistakable. "I must do what I ought to have done at once. Would you mind sending the wire for me?" "The wire? To Miss Quentln?" "Of course. Just wire 'Come' end sign It 'Mark'." "You wish me to send Miss Quontln a telegram saying no more than 'Come. Mark'?" "What more need I say? You don't think It enough?" There was no answer. Armltage, pipe drawing very satisfactorily, hands quite stoady again, walked out of the room. Poole left the Are for the win dow and stared out at the In evitable London pardon; ahrubs, gravel, statuary green with damp. "I shall have to trouble you for a little brandy," came from the cbalr. Poole wandered back without haste and regarded the guest close ly. Not until he had obsorved the bluenoss round the Hps and the sharp lines drawn from nose to chin, did he ring and order the stimulant. "For Ood's sake, hurry up!" Im plored the artist foobly. "I I got those fainting attacks " Poole was quite unalarmed. "You ought to take life more quietly," he advlsod, "So long as you go about trying to got yourself murdorod, your heart Is bound to do overtime." He was gratified to catch a glimpse of undisguised hatred be fore the fair head tell back upon the cushions and the long hands slipped and hung loosely to the floor. (Copyrlokl, IMI.
