BARBARA'S LETTER
BARBARA woke, as ihe always
did, with all senses alert She
looked round the severe hotel bed
room and remembered how she had
rang and knocked her way Into It
la the early bours ot this morning.
The Clanrlcarde had not Iioen eager
to accommodate her, but she bad
luggage and she had money and a
friendly policeman had stood at her
boulder while she parleyed with
the night-porter. '
"In tact," said Barbara to herself,
"there Is nothing ot the stray eat
about me and I'm not going to mew
to order. Not for anybody."
She had slept only a tow hours but
she felt refreshed; cool and clear
sighted. Somehow she bad come
to a conclusion and hammered out
Farrell's house, she asked for Mark,
adding "Please put me straight
through to him. It is very Im
portant that I should speak to him
at once."
"Mr. Lodely Is probably still
asleep, madam."
"I can't help that He must wake
up."
She waited for what seemed a
very long time. Then Mark's voice
said, so abruptly that she started:
"I told you that you were not to
ring me np any more before mid
day." "What's that?" she exclaimed.
"You are Patsy, aren't youT"
Mark's voice was drowsy.
"This Is Barbara speaking, Mark."
"Barbara! Good heavens, I
thought you were In Tozeterl"
This alio sensed to be false. She
said steadily
"I want to see you Immediately."
"Well, why waste time 'phoning
me? I'm In bed. I can't refuse to
see you, except by biding under
the bedclothes."
"You must please get up and take
a taxi to to the porch of tbe Na
tional Gallery. 1 shall be waiting
for you. We can have lunch to
gether somewhere, later on."
"I never lunch."
Barbara hesitated. In what she
had come to call the old days she
would at this point have humored
This time It was Barbara who rang off.
a purpose. Bhe rose and made an
unhurried toilet She knew that
her outfit became her when she
Inspected herself In the mirror and
she knew It again when she entered
tbe breakfast-room. People turned
to watch her seat herself and the
headwnitor attended to her In per
son. After breakfast she found the
writing room and sat straight down
to tbe letter which had composed
Itself In her mind without appar
ently, thought or effort on her part
When It was written she saw no
cause, to alter a line ot It .It was
to Farrell Armltage.
"I was In your house last night
and I he-rdf what you said when you
watched Mark. You said 'Shows
him up pretty plainly' but I think
It Is you who are shown up. I think
It Is you who are shown to be more
despicable, far, than Mark.
"Our bargain was not that you
hould 'show him up.' Mark Is weak
and Inexperienced In spite of his
mature manner and It Is easy to load
him Into Indulging the worst In
stead of the best that Is In him.
Last night p'rovos nothing. Our
bargain was that for a year you
would take him and give hlra every
chance to become Independent In
dependent of any kind of help he
could possibly want from me. Per
haps you saw that what you set out
to do Is not possible and so. In
stead, you betrayed blm Into vul
garity so as to make me hats his.
"I don't bate him for being as he
was last night I feel more than
ver that he needs me to get him
back to what sanity and dignity be
had bofore you took him away. I
shall marry htm as soon as It can
be arranged. You have brokon your
part of the bargain. Now I break
mine Barbara Quontln."
' Bhe sealed and addressed the let
ter end took It out to the main hall.
"Please have this sent at once by
special messenger."
She put on bat and furs, went out
and found a telephone box. As soon
as she waa In communication with
him or conceded her point But that
had grown Impossible to her.
"We can decide about lunching
later. I shall expoct you to meet
me."
There was silence. After a mo
ment a voice asked whether she had
finished, please, and she realized
that Mark had rung oft.
She gave blm Ave minutes, then
got through to the house again and
again Insisted on being put Into
communication with blm. Unless
Mark took off his receiver, this
game might well go on all day.
"Hollo?"
Mark had not expected her to
persist evidently.
"I shall go on ringing up this
house until I hear that you have
started, Mark."
"But why don't you come here,
Barbara? Beautiful, obstinate Bar
bara" "But I prefer not to. I won't wait
longor than an hour. I shall Snd a
telephone box and ring you up again
If you aren't at the National Gal
lery by eleven."
This time It was she who rang
off. She believed that he would be
there.
She set out on toot for their meet
lng-place. It was a lovely Novem
ber day, warm as spring In the
sunshine, keenly cold In the shad
ow, 8he swung eastwards, enjoy
ing. In spite of her preoccupations,
the sights and sounds ot what she
had always In her childhood called
London Town.
It was a reliot to have made up
her mind about Farrell Armltage
once and for all. The man waa a
choat He had laid down the rules
ot oontost and had gone outside
them. No doubt he had built up
bis fortune in Just such ways. Well,
that was no concern ot hers. Her
concern wss Mark's safety: what
old fashlonod people would call his
soul.
