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.
