"Then I'll put It this way that
I tried to marry Mark for love and
I tried to marry Parrell for money

marry me It and when Armltage
marries Barbara Quentln?"
"No, because," her voice failed
her and she had to start again.
"Because In one way not in Bar
bara's way, but in a small-town-coa
venttonal-Klngs-Mallard way, I am
bound to Mark."
"But If that doesn't mean any
thing?" he offered at last. "To me,
I mean, or to you?"
"Ah, bat I'm beginning to know
that It does mean something to me.
So I think It would be a good Idea
If we said goodbye now, dop't you?"
"Must we, Leilar
"I think so, Ken. I'll always wish
you 'good meal-time:!.' Goodbye."
"All right. It you say so. Good
bye." The announcement as It appeared
In the social columns was simple,
A marriage, said tha column, bad
been arranged between Miss Bar
bara Quentln and Mr. Mark Lodely.
Mr. Mark Lodely was, of course,
the brilliant portrait painter who
by his portrait of Sir Robert Phil
hay bad caught the serious atten
tion of the critics, and by his por
trait of Miss Patsy Raoul, the most
daring dlseuse on today's stage, had
forced the man in the street to stop
and stare, and smile.
Miss Quentln was, of course,
known to an exclusive circle as I
She flung Mark's emerald Into the dark.
"Better return that to father.
Be gave It to me, and he'll need
very penny." She leaned heavily
against his shoulder, feeling the
strength melt from her limbs. "Just
a minute and then I must go and
pack for Kings Mallard. I wonder
how he'll take It? Do' you think
that In our common bereavement
father and I will learn to under
stand each other better?"
"No, - Besides, you won't have
tnough time. We sail on tha twenty
third for the Cape. I'm taking over
permanent management of one of
Armltage's concerns out there."
"Thanks, all the same, but any
ailing I do will be with father
and mother."
"Do you honestly care a lot for
Lodely?" ha asked. "I mean, Isn't
he sort of a an obsession?"
"I don't think so. I'm not like
Barbara!"
"Well, only because she'd signed
en with him before you got there,
as I understand It If she can con-
alder Farrell, why can't you con
sider me?"
"You utter goat, there's no com
parison!" "Don't be ImpertlnentI I'm as
good a man as Armltage. Ask
him."
"Ah, but I'm not as good as Bar
bara." "I've heard a lot about Barbara
Quentln and she may be as wonder
ful ss you all say. I don't doubt it
Bnt what you did just now takes a
lot of beating to stand up and
thuck a vote of thanks back because
you haven't deserved It. It you'd
hut up, no one would ever have
known."
"There Is someone who would
have known; knows already. Mr.
Frere."
"Who's her
"He's a clergyman. He's almost
by only friend. I told him about
those shares once and asked him
what I ought to do."
"And what was his advloe?"
"He said If I needed advice on a
matter like that I wasn't likely to
take It anyway."
"Shrewd old boy! Now, look here,

decorator and designer. Her suc
cessful treatment of Miss Patsy
Raoul's house had laid the corner
stone of her reputation and her
partnership with the renowned
Jacques Malavls, Ltd., had carried
her to further successes.
Leila Cane read the news In the
modest London flat which was now
her parents' home.
"Mark and Barbara are going to
be married, mother."
"Well, my dear, they've been en
gaged Jong enough, I'm sure. And
they can well afford a beautiful
home together now. Why, they
could buy South-the-Water If they
wanted ltl It's a shame!"
"Don't, you realise, mother, that
It It hadn't been for Barbara's In
sane generosity we shouldn't have
even this flat; we should have to
sit about In fourth-rate continental
pensions for the rest of our lives?"
Lslls gave It up. Her mother had
retired to bed on arrival from Kings
Mallard and although she was not
exactly 111, she ras not well and
Leila did not elpect ber to recover.
The mouse had taken refuge In the
nearest hole and would venture out
no more.
Leila took her paper along to the.
sitting-room where her father was
finishing a heavy breakfast In
spite of herself she had an admira
tion for him. When, a few months
earlier she had brought him Bar
bara's decision (that she wished the
money divided between the Lodelys,
the Canes and herself) he had dona
no more than ohlrp brightly "In
doedt Yes. I expected no less. No
doubt It Is what poor Quentln
would hava wished."
Although It was making her Tate
for the position Barbara had got
her with Malavle, Leila waited un
til her father finished his final cup
of coffee.
Barbara and Mark are going to
be married, father."
"Really? Well, It's been a long
engagoment," the old man said
quietly.
