MARK'S ULTIMATUM
BARBARA told herself that she
would write to Mark and ex
plain that she suspected only a
mood In him. Then, if It were more
than a mood, he could send his call
again.
She made her way to her own
room and lit her lamp. There was
an old Venetian mirror here which
aha had delicately re-gllded. She
lit the candles that flanked It and
looked at bor reflection.
Candle-light was certainly flat
tering. It made her hair the pale,
delicate gold ot the gliding and un
der esch wave It placed a shadow.
It gave darkness to her eyes, the
texture ot white velvet to her skin,
mystery to the line ot her throat.
She (elt as though someone stood
at her shoulder, whose gaze Im
possible but there was no available
car.
She hurried out without explana
tion. She swung down a side-road
and emerged Into a decorous street
of offices. Before one of these stood
a big, dark car which she recog
nized. As she hesitated, its owner
came across the pavement and she
dashed up and spoke to him.
"Sir James, could you possibly
run me to the station? I might Just
be able to catch the London ex
press, If you would?"
He started violently and peered
at her over bis everlasting smirk.
"Get lnl Got lnl By all means 1
Jones, slip along to the station as
fast as you can. Pull up this rug,
my dear Miss Barbara; the eve
nings are far from warm lately.
Though, bless me, you youngsters,
don't seem to feel the cold I"
Barbara was puzzled by bis man
ner. Ho appeared to force himself
to meet ber eyes and yet be was
more syr ipy than usual as he fussed
over ber. He had turned off the
light In the roof Just as the car
moved away but almost Immediate
ly he turned It on again,
"You've bad a wire from Mark,
have you? I suppose he's not so
well again. Natural he should send

me he's making a Bplash up there,

blew out the candles and
currlod downstairs.
The next few days left her with
out word or sign from either ot the
Lodelys, Tholr silence stretched
her nerves and she threw herself In
to her work to (orget the whole
affair.
Then, gradually, she lost the
ense of being a naughty dleobe
dlont child and began to paper the
kitchen. She waa on the top of a
atap-laddor, ber shears thrust Into
the pocket ot ber smock, her
thoughts straying towards tea and
hot buttered toast, when the tele
graph boy came up the path again.
She called him In and read the
message, seated on the top ot the
ladder. Mark made himself per
fectly clear. 'Dome fo me hero or
ponitdcr our engagement at an end.'
"No answer," ahe said.
She bad to choose between ber
self-respect and her marriage to
Mark. There was no mistake about
It Mark was not 111 or In trouble,
ha waa Just determined that ahe
should step out of the stream ot her
own Ufa and coma to bint when be
beckoned ber.
She thought, sitting there In the
gathering dusk, that aba had no
oholca but to go; and she thought
that, this love she had tor him was
very' closs to fear and very close to
hate.
But she made no preparation to
go. She sat there, thinking and
wishing she could baTe finished the
kitchen.
Half an hour elapsed and then
another telegraph boy lumbered up
to the little house. She read:
'Please, Barbara.' There was uo
more.
Oh, but It was enoughl She dis
missed the boy and flew about ber
preparations. No mooning, now.
In 15 minutes she was closing up
the house and running Into the
road.
She thought she might catch the
London train If she could get a car
from a garage she knew. She was
there sooner than she bad thought
all the same. Wonderful, I think,
conaldorlng everything. Yes. Leila
stayed a night with you last week,
I hoar?"
"I'm afraid Bhe wasn't very oom
fortablo." '
"Most kind of you to put yourself (
out. My girl's spoiled, I foar, and
It's a bit Into to do nnythlug about
1L Cool and hard."
Barbara was baroly listening. A
part of hor mind was recording
that 'Sugar,' though very nearly
obsoqulous In manner, was tar
from easy In her company; and an
other part was prooccuplcd with
times and distances. This other
part took complete command as a
long, shrill whistle tore across the
lights ot the town.
"There's my tralnl"
At the same moment the chauf
feur slowed, pushed aside the glass
panel and spoke over his shoulder.
"No use, sir. We can't make It
now."
Barbara, disappointed, prepared
to alight.
"Ono moment. Miss Barbara! It
occurs to me but have you an al
ternative plan?"
"I bad bettor get to Taunton, I
think. There's a chance ot catch
ing a very good train that leaves
there about nine."
"One niomont! It occurs to me
that perhaps you would allow me to
send you to Taunton In thla car."
Barbara, half out of the car, was
quite unable to conceal bar stupe
faction. So, apparently, wasjJonea,
who all ' t gasped.
"It's very kind ot you. I don't
know how to thank you. But what
about you? How will you get
home?"
"By train," 'Sugar' assured her.
As the car movod off, Barbara
glanced out ot the back window.
'Sugar Cane was standing In the
middle f the road and she thought
he was talking to himself. But un
der the uncertain lights she could
not bo sure.
