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."
