Armt tage's secretary, Kenneth Poole, rings for brandy. Chapter 84 "TO OUR MEMORIES' THE door opened to admit Thomas with tie brandy decanter and (lasses and. behind Thomas, a girl. "It's Tory characteristic" Bald the girl "how 1 always manage to come In on the cocktail-wagon." Poole studied her as be advanced to meet her. He bad not met Leila Cane before but he guessed that this must be she. "This Isn't going to be a revel, really," he explained when be had Introduced hlmselt "The Intoxi cant is for Lodely. His heart Isn't quite the thing this afternoon." ' She went up to the big chair and looked down at its occupant. Sup ported by Thomas, be was sipping brandy. A faint color had crept back to bis face. Leila smiled, a faint, bitter smile that Foole found rather attractive. "Hullo, Markl Got the tan trums?" Poors took a chance. "He's been baiting Armltage," he explained. "Swords for two, you know, and brandy for one." "If Mark needs brandy," said Leila, "Farrell must be needing an ambulance." Her bright eyes swept the room. "Where did you put him?" "We disagreed, fundamentally, on the subject of handling women, oame from Mark before Poole could make any retort. "He has lust wan dered out to dig a pit for hlmselt and. In due course, to fall Into It "What a cad you are I" comment ed Leila dispassionately. She took a cigarette from the case Poole offered and lit It "Isn't be a cad, Mr. Poolet Don't you hate baring lilm In the house?" "Ob the contrary, he fascinates met All that artlstlo temporament tuff I've never mot It before at close quarters." "I don't want any more brandy," aid Mark petulantly. And, as the footman withdrew "I haven't drawn your soul yet, Leila. Have a care!" Poole thought she flinched but In the next second she bad recovered herself. "I haven't a soul and you've drawn all the rest of me." "Have yon sat for your portrait, then, Miss Cane?" "No, though he pretends I did." ""Could I have painted yon like that from memory, d'you think!" protested the artist "Who would believe it Leila?" "Only Barbara, bless her!" she told him steadily. "And she said you hadn't done me justice. And started her kitchen Ore with It" Poola laughed suddenly. With these two, as with Armltage and Lodely, he had the feeling that they were talking over hla head. But whatever It was about he backed this Cant girt. Never before had he seen a grown man arlpple or no look so childishly cross. "Barbara should have left It alone. It was mine," he muttered. "I shall tell her so the moment she comes." "Is Barbara coming here?" "Yes. To do me a studio that Isn't a silly clutter of sofa cush ions." "When I saw her last week, she aid that If she did come up. It would be to do Patsy's rooms, not yours." . ,, "She will do them, though." His humor apparently restored, Mark Lodely stretched up a hand and Leila, giving him hers, helped him up. Poole's "Oh. 1 say, let me!" came too late. Mark was already on his feet Leila's band still In bis; before she could withdraw It be raised It to his lips. "To our memories, Leila!" Poole, strolling across the room to sea htm out of the door, won dered. And then he wondered at himself for wondering. She was just one of a thousand others. He strolled back and found that the painful flush, that bad risen under her powder, bad gone again. She was elaborately composed. "He does so hate It when you won't let him see you're Impressed." aha said. "Do you think genius ts always as unendurable as Mark?" "No Ideal But he quite honestly doesn't Impress me, except as an evil-tempered little cuss." Sheriff Killed In Gun Battle PLAINVTEW Texas, Jan. 23 (Al') J. O. Mostly, sheriff of Swlah r county, was killed last night In a gun battle at Tulla. Moaeley hut been watahlng for a stolen car and followed a coupe Into Tulla and shot It out with lu occu pants in front of a filling station. Tha station was robbed after the of ficer had been ahot and the two men and a woman in the car escaped. I VJVT RIGHT JUSM "He makes people, especially women, fee that If he would let them, they could heal him of his sins." "Well, all I know Is that I'd throttle the woman who tried to heal me of mine!" He spoke quite seriously but evi dently something perhaps his whole-hearted dismay amused her and she began o laugh. It was a friendly, jolly laugh and he liked the sound of It He was quite sorry when she stopped. It bad made him want to see her out on the moors In tweeds, with some of that paint washed oft her face and one of those jolly little felt bats Instead of this black, provocative thing. "It's such a long time," she said, merriment still In her eyes, "since I met a man who could give me so ferocious a hint as that Here's Mrs. Lodely. Hullo, Judy darling! How be ye?" The west-country greeting linked two chains of thought In Poole's mind. Quontln, Lodely and Cane. Leila Cane. Quentin and Lodely bad crashed and Cane had pros pered. Hml "No, I'm not with Patsy Raoul any longer," Leila was announcing as and when Mrs. Lodely's laugh would allow her to make herself heard. "I'm not even at a hotel. I've just taken what Mark's lot call a 'decomposlngly urgent' service flat In a Caroline Square." "You're goln the pace, Leila, ain't you? You can't get flats In Caroline Square for a song, though I remember 20 years ago I thought nothln' of" "I blackmailed father Into treb ling my allowance," said Leila light ly. "And If that doesn't cover It well, I'm sorry but no living woman can do more." "My dear gel, what things you do say!" And then toa arrived, and Mrs. Lodely foil upon It Barbara received Mark's wire just as she put away her work for the night 'Mist Quentin Way End Clips borough. Come. Hark.' She road it with a startled In drawing of the breath. Dome, Hark. He wanted her she must go to him. "Any answer, miss?" She darted to her work-table for a pencil. She nee 'ed only to say that she was coming at once. . He would know that she would tatch the next train or, It necessary, hlro a car to Taunton Junction. She bad begun to write the words when something tuggod at her mind and stopped hor. She was remembering the letters she had written during the first week of his absence and the tele gram she had sent asking for his advice about Miss Raoul's commis sion. He had not answered any of them, though bis mother bad re-, ported that he has well and active. Of course. Mark very rarely wrote to hor during their separations, was contemptuous, In fact of the whole idea behind a daily correspondence. Still aftor that tint woek, she had written twlco more and the only an swer had been a post-card telling her to send his old sketchbooks by return mall. "Any answer, miss, please?" What was tha matter with her? Again, she poised the pencil. But that something that fretted at her would not be donled. It was like a whisper in her ear and a whisper very like Leilas. 'Mark's laiy Mark's cruel.' An Irritation, a re sentment of Mark roao In bar that she had not known before. She wrote her answer, on lm- pulse, to Judy. 'It my Immediate pretence essential to Markl' Glancing at her watch, as the boy ran off, she saw that there was time tor Judy to roply the same eve ning. She wont to the telephone and arranged for the answer to be transmitted to hor. Then she sat down and tried to discover what had come over her. Mark had called to her and she had not gone to him. What would he think what would be do? She began to be frightened now, to con struct a hundred ways In which Judy might reply to her. Mark 111. Mark dying. She was huddled miserably over her little oil-stove, her head and heart aching together, when her tolephone rang. The message was brief. "0 courjo no. Stay where you ore."
