PAGE SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, JANUARY 29, 1933. uying Barbara hy Julia Cleft-Addjune Aether too cahi massy RrrutPNlB! Barbara Ouentin. arbitrarily summoned to London by her arrogant fiance. Hark hodely. arrives tn the midst of a revel to which the Is not asked. He even draws a malicious cari cature of her. As she runs from ihe house ehe overhears a man she believee to be Farrell Armt tone. Mark's host, call Mark o bounder Bhe breaks bv letter the agreement ehe had fllh Farrell Iwho loves her) that he mfoil try for a year to establish Mark as an orlljt so that Barbara could choose between them without prejudice. Then she demands that Mark meet her at the national oaliery. Chapter 89 ' THE CBA8H SO SURE u Barbara ot Mark's coming, that she did not appreci ably lengthen her pace and It was live minutes- past eleven when she turned Into Trafalgar square. Aa she looked across to the people scattered upon the steps of the building, a car passed her with Uark Inside. Bhe watched It sweep np to the steps but Mark did not descend. Her heart misgave her suddenly, suppose he bad brought Judvl She came steadily on and presently drew level. He was alone. "Rotten ot you to keep me wait lsgl" he exclaimed, the moment his yes fell upon her. "You haven't been here two min utes," she returned, and got In. The car was very roomy, very plainly equipped. "Is this Farrell Armltage's cart" "One ot his cars, child. You bava f.o conception of the resources of a millionaire, evidently. Just as well, perhaps, for your poor, neglected true love. Mlchfleld Is waiting tor you to tell him where to drive to." "To the outer circle ol Regent's Park, please, and drive slowly round." . The car rolled away, a smooth, obedient movement that seemed to make speech flow more easily. "You wired me to come to yon, Mark. Why?" "Because I hungered for the sight ot you." "But last night," she oountered and, to her dismay, there was a sob In her breath, "last night you in sulted me before yonr friends." "Last nlghtT Yon weren't there." "That's futile, Mark. You saw me. Tou k-ow I was there." He had let himself slip towards her and now laid his face against her shoulder. "I'd had ooeans too much to drink. Don't loathe me tor It, beautiful. You looked so win. and dull and hard-working, standing there, gap ing at all the naughty people. And you know 1 can't stand It when you look like that" "You hurt me too much, Mark." . "Really too much, Barbara?" Again ihe turned and looked down at him. The ear was along side the curb. "People will see you, Mark. Sit pp." He lifted her hand, drew oft the loosely fitting glove and raised her palm to his Hps. "I have missed you so, beautiful." Mark at his most kind, most dear. Bow could she ever, for one In stant, have wondered have doubt dT She relaxed a little. The trat do Jam broke and the car started forward again. "Oh, darling Mark, I ought never to have let him take you away from toe. Let's be married at once, Mark. This weekt" He flicked aside her hand and. battling himself erect, sat back In pis corner. " 'Hlmf "Farrell Armltage. It sounded so splendid, bis offer to house you and help ycur work and perhaps Im prove your health. But this Is tak ing away with one hand what he caves with the other." "This? Do you mean my party r "All your parties, all you go to and all you give, If they're like last Bight's!" He was silent She oould not in terpret his silence. She went on: "You must see It Mark. You must apree that for for whatever reason. Farrell Armltage Is definite ly trying to vulgarise yonr career." "You think so?" murmured Mark. "Couldn't 1 see last night the kind ot people he had brought to his house and the kind ot entertain ment ha provided for them!" The car had turned Into the park Bow, and was sweeping slowly along ue outer circle. "Unique." commented Mark. "Ab solutely unique, you are, Barbara. She searchod his face. You mean I'm foolish?" "I mean" his Hp lifted at one fcorner "you are possessed of unique and quite amazing nerve." She drew herself up. "Whatever I've done or said that's stupid, you must not speak to me like that" But her voice shook badly. "So you are going to carry me off and marry me, are you? Because you don't approve of the company I keepl And I'm to be allowed a very few really respectable little folk to play with me now and again, and I get a beer and tobacco allow ance, I suppose?" "No, Mark, nol 'I put it too sweep lngly, perhaps. I know I'm natural ly bossy people have told me so. But I do want to take you away from Farrell Armltage before he utterly spoils you and I think that whatever you say, you do really want to come." Mark glanced out of the window. He waved a hand languidly to an acquaintance. He watched a dog frisk across the road. 'Mark," she begged. "I don't know what la In your mind." . This. That when we marry, and don't forget that last time I asked yon, you refused me, when we marry, It will be ( .who decide where and how I shall live after wards. I may or may not be a cripple, by then, but If I were twisted Into twice the funny knots I am already, I will be absolute master of my own life. If that doesn't suit you get out ot ltl" You don't know what you're say ing. You don't mean It You would be living one kind of lite, I an other." She tried to smile. "It wouldn't be real marriage, at all." And yet" pursued Mark, "no other kind ot marriage would be possible with you, Barbara. You're bossy, as you say yourself. I won't either boss or be bossed." "Then?" she said, still smiling. "The whole question Is shelved Indefinitely," he suggested. "Or no. You're one of those people who Insist on being given a date. Let's shelve It, then, for a year. In the meantime, you can leave me to steep myself In vice under' Arm ltage's able guidance "He laughed amusedly "and you can go back to Toxeter. Excollent plue for good little girls to be good In, Toxeter." She pui her hand to the speak ing-tube. "Stop, please," she requested. "Getting out Barbara?" The car drew. Into the curb and the chauffeur came to the door. "Should you really be so very final, do you think?" Mark went on. "I mean, won't you have - a terrible lot to unsay when you want to be engaged o me again? All that tin-chapel talk about Armltage" She looked at him blindly. Mich- Held had returned to bis wheel and she held the open door In her hand. In a moment she would shut it upon Mark and his cushions and his laughter and let him go. - "when one of, the most satis fying things about my party was that It drove him out of his own house In gentlemanly dlsgustl He didn't come back to Brandish Place until an hour ago!" Her hand tightened on the door. . She said, almost violently: "You're mistakes. I saw him standing in the doorray ot your studio about two o'clock, looking on. I hoard something he said about you." "You saw him clearly?" "Not clearly, no. From behind." "His build Is very like Poole's, his secretary. It was Mr. Watchdog Poole you saw. And the only rea son I'm troubling to mention all this" Mark's voice shrilled sud denly, "the only reason Is, that be fore you ever dare to talk marriage to me again, you'll apologise for believing that a cash-mlndod clod like Armltage could ever begin to Influonce met "Armltage vulgarising my career on the sly? Armltage choosing the wrong kind of friends for me? That that clerk I" His tree arm swung wildly and he tore the door from ber grasp and crashed It shut Through the window her eyes hung upon his for another moment and then the car slid into gear and he was gone. But Barbara was beyond re sponse. Dimly aware of someone at her shouldor, she turned. It was as If the emptiness and the sun shine turned with her; the world spun, jolted and then slanted into space. She slanted with It and the sun went out (Copyright. 1(11, Julia Oleft-Addamti Parrell starches, tomorrow, for ont ho lovoa.
