H had bought eharet from Barbara Quentlnt mother, knowing that although the thought them worthiest, they really were worth par. The Lodelyt and Quen tine were Impoverished. Farrell Armltage, in love utith Barbara, iutt hoe brought out that Urt. Lodely hae known tor yeart of the deceit Farrell le in love with Barbara Quenttn. ioho hat arolren her engagement to Mark Lodely, gifted but unprincipled ton 0 Urt. Lodely. Chapter 46 LEILA CANE 2XPLAIN8 " DID not tell anybody," shouted 1 Mrs. Lodely. "But you made It your business to get a copy ot the wire, In the Arm's name, I suppose?" demanded FarrelL "Yes 1 did, Mr. Farrell Armltage, and I'd do It aaln. And moreover I said to myself 'It's clear Babs and Mark'll marry one day. They're cut out (or each other. And It poor old Bylrla gets this money she'll move right away and those two poor klds'Il be parted.' So I kept It and I waited. And what business It has all been ot yours, I shall never un derstand!" Barbara forty-flye thousand odd or perhaps he goes to Jail, anyway?" put In Leila. "That the Idea, Farrell?" It was Mark's thin roles that answered her while Farrell was choosing his words. , "I'v been nantlng to hear why you're been brought up for trial, at all, Leila. Now that Judy has been let off with a caution, I don't doubt your case will come on next. Are you, by any chance, your father's keeper?" "Leila," snapped Armltage, "made It clear to me from the first that she dissociated herself from what she suspected to be her father's attitude. I think It was an extremely difficult thing for her to convey but she conveyed It. I don't know why she should have had any suspicions to start with" "I heard Mrs. Quentln asking tether about the shares; and I think that, like Judy, I must have remem bered that telegram and father read ing It And then, four or five years ago, I met a man at a dance here in Town. He asked me about Kings Mallard; did I know the Quentlns? He said they'd bought some worth less shares from a pal of bis once, out ot sheer decency, and thon sud denly gold was found, after the pal was dead. That," Leila's cool tones' became even cooler "was, a 1 lay, quite Ave years ago." "The reason I asked you to be present," put td ' Armltage with slight Impatttuce, "was this. It's ob vIauslv.olnff to be best to dndgs If you'll nut the whole Justness before your father he'll be aois 10 mage resutuuou over a con venient period; there's no doubt Barbara will let him have time.' He broke off. Sounds were oomtng from Mrs. Lodely that were almost toherent "Four or five years ago, did you ssy Leila? Did you say It was as long ago as that that yon first had an lnklln' of what your father had been up to? All I can say Is, yon don't seem to have bestirred your self. In spite of being considered so splendid!" "I'm not In the least splendid, J assnre you. On the contrary,, when I was In Kings Barn the other day I got hold of Judy's copy ot the tele gram to Quentln, Lodely and Cane and I discussed It with father. Keep quiet one minute, Judy, d'you mind? Father saw the force of my argument when I said that on a capital ot forty-flve thousand odd he could allow me at least live hundred a year more. I think he rather ad mired me." A rising shriek ot laughter came from "ffhere Mark' face glinted narrowly white against rugs and cushions. "I've never in my life been as amused as I am tonight. I adore you, Leila, for amusing me sol" "Do you mean to say, Leila, that, with absolute proof In your hand, you enjoyed money that Is Indis putably Barbara's?" demanded Far rail harshly. "Guilty, my lord." . "I adore you for amusing me so," gasped Mark. "Yes, I really am laughing, Armltage, not Just, doing what I can to add to the general discomfiture. Leila, the little pro - Tlnclal gate-crasber, getting her lingers Into the till I And now she ud her dear pspa will have to economics." "Supposing Miss Cane Is allowed to give us her point of view?" broke In Poole, his face still to the Are. Armltage saw Leila's hard face quiver. "It Isn't at all a berolo one," shs said slowly. "I thought I'd see If I could squeeze just a few months' fun even If It meant being as miser able a little cheat as father. I meant to own np at the end of your year, Farrell." "I'm sure I don't know what year you're talkln' about!" sobbed Mrs. Lodely. "She means," choked Mark, "the year which Farrell has set aside for the buying ot Barbara. I don't sug gest with his money, naturally, but rather with his sterling worth, his granite will and so on." "What has my year got to do with it, Leila?" Again her slender shoulder mocked him. 'Barbara would have wanted her dowry then, I presume, whomever she married! And now, unless any one else wants to sling mud at me, I'll go and tell lather our little game Is up." Through the uproar that followed, Armltage heard Leila address him. "Not At to wipe Barbara's shoes. am I Farrell? All the same. It she marries you, you'll hare to admit that I had something to do with it. Even it It was only by a very little I opened her eyes." She was passing Farrell Ja her way to the door. Before his eyes her portrait hung for a second. He plunged bis hand Into his pocket and pulled out the emerald pen dant. He tossed it into the curve ot her arm and it slipped down Into her palm. "Your fee," he said. The next second he would bave given a fortune bigger than Bar bara's to take back action and words. He and Mark, two twisted bullies, tormenting a hunted thing. "Lellal" he muttered. But she went out of the room with her eyes upon the couch upon which Mark's body lay motionless, while his face and his hsnds were twisted with ecstasy. She had walked some way before she realised that the man keeping pace with her was Kenneth Poole. Then "Want anything?" she asked with out turning her head. "Only to know where we're go ing?" "To the river." "Thon I suggosf a taxi. It's some way to the river. And we bad bettei keep It waiting until they've hauled us out again and taken our names and addresses." 'It's not me I'm going to throw in Nor you. . . . Why aren't you mind ing your own business? 1 thoughl the one thing we've ever agreed about was that we're each to mind our own business." "You promised to have dlnnei with me." "It's hours too early for dinner." "If we go to dinner by wa, of tht Embankment, It will All In the time nicely. And you'll get up a bettet appetite than you had for tea." "I don't know how you can con template dlnnor after the tea you ate.'J fc "I can always contemplate dinner, thank providence, even when I'm only half-way through breakfast Be sides, I didn't really enjoy my tea; I ate sixty per cent ot It from sheer habit. Now all this money business is oft our chests, w can go 10 a Jolly little hole 1 know under the pave ment In Fleet Street and do our selves properly. After that a spot ot vaudeville somewhere and a snack on the way home. Suit you?" "Kenneth, you weren't surprised at what I'd done. Why weren't you?" "I don't quit know. I must have got It from your mind. Telepathy, suppose. By Jove, I must go In foi telepathy seriously. I believe I'n. tuned In Just right to get some peo pie's minds. Not so long ago telspathed Armltage as easily a making face at him." Poor Farrell Armltage. hell foi give me it Barbara marries him an he'll hate me for a rotter If she mm rise Mark. And yet he thinks 11 hss a mind. You're mors logics you'll hate me always and anyway because" 'Because t" Because after spending so many precious mealtimes in telling mr you've no nss tor women, you And yourself hoping one ot them won'l Jump Into the river."
