PAGE SIX. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1933. M&l&iiyiiig Barbara hj Jmlim artuAMMmm Amikm y-roo cun turn- Chapter it. THE 80LUTION 'I 'HERB wag a long alienee. The A Wear's attck leaned Idle agalnat his knee. Barbara began to wonder whether the old man had gone to leep. When he moved, however, and eyed her from under the wide hadow of hla hat, aha saw that he was Terr much awake. "What's In the back ol your head, mj dear Barbara, Is that. In the end the only reason Farrell has not been frble to buy yon Is that he has too nraoh money. She Crowned. "Well, In a way.' Yes. Perhaps. Tea, I suppose his strength Is, fun damentally, money." "Then 1 hare a piece of directly heaven-sent news for yon. Most of the Armltage fortune went In the Hetrle crash last week. Farrell Isn't penniless, but he will have to fight his way up the ladder again, and as he waa born quite halt-way np to tart with he Is going to And climb ing a very humiliating and bitter thing." There was another long silence. Then "What did yon say about Farrell I" Stammered Barbara. "Oh, nonsense; you heard me perfectly," returned vicar. "(Jet ap and run along and And blm: your brain will begin to work once you are moving. I Mt him right at the top of the house packing up a case of little fancy-dress dolls. A wed ding present, I gathered, for you and Mark. "Ton swear this Isn't pity. Bar karat" "It Isn't pity. "Because I'm no Mark. 1 don't want support. I never will let you carry me along with your own ca reer. I'm down now, but I'll be np again. I'll give you pearls yet, and I shall loathe It If you can afford them before I can. I suppose It's pride, but I'm not used to poverty" "You gave me a year to learn that I should be happier married to you than to Mark. Now the year is op, and I've come to tell yon you were right. I want to marry you. Do yon Still want me? Or notr ' "Do you love me, Barbara? As 1 km yon!" ; "I love yon In my own fashion. I ean't love otherwise. Isn't it enough?" In this empty, room nothing eemed to register as real and ar ticulate except, for some reason, fan-ell's hands. "He Is very eas ily hurt Just now." Yes, bis bands were the hands of a man easily hurt Whereas Mark's hands were strong and greedy and clever, these were trained only to physical combat or to social ease. They looked help less, now, fumbling with a tiny silk elad doll. . "No, better get It dear," said Bar bara, as though the old vicar were at Fan-ell's elbow. "Perhaps my (and ot love lsn t enough for you. een't pretend, yon see, to be other than I am. Farrell, that first night when ws found Leila's portrait In the Toxeter house you said that When Mark was well and rich and enjoying life I should be free to choose. Bplrlt-tree. That's come true. But you said I'd choose yon. That didn't come true until now that you may have need ot me." "Then It la pltyr ' "What It It Is? If I can't love yon ntll I can help you, why should you be hurt by that? You say you fell In lore with me at flrat sight, but I think you loved your own Idea of what you wore to make mi I am not like that, I can't be hung with pearls at the end of your battles. 1 Bust be In the battle, too. And I think that If all that la ptty you will just hare to endure It as I shall bare to endure your pride and ye;r atuptd little sorenesses. "But perhaps." added Barbara, suddenly all gaiety because ot the aurrender In his empty hands, "you would like a year In which to come to see that I am right?" . At six o'clock punctually Leila ceased to be the beat-dressed girl at Malaria's and, stepping westwards, became rapidly more and mora out moded. Bond Street saw her In definitely last year's garb, and when a ear drew np beside her as she waited to cross Piccadilly and a voice spoke her name she wondered only which 1 was of the De Capo dragon-flies that hovered for a mo ment to tease her and then be gone. "Get In, please, Leila I" It was Mark. As she got In she reflected that ahe had no' sees him for months. She sank back upon the pale cushions of his car and, push lng her hat further from her face, passed her hands over her face In an effort to rub away some ot her fa tigue. "What's the matter?" demanded Mark, Instantly querulous. "You aren't going to cry, are you? If you are, get out again, that's alll Cry ing women look like hens." "I'm moved, but not to tears,' Leila assured him. "I sent my Con grats by Barbara, Mark. Old you get them?" Mark Immediately became angri er. "Are you talking about tblar He thrust a crumpled paper at her. "This morning's paper? D'you know I've only Just read It?" Leila eyed him over the top ot her powder-puff. Well, another time ask them to wake and call you earlier, call yon earlier, mother dear." He flung the paper to the floor. "You st-irl foo', I was with Patsy last night at the De Capo, and we went wandering oft Into the country afterwards, I forgot why. Only came back to St. John's Wood an hour ago. I've been trying to get hold of Barbara." "You sound as though you weren't pleased that she has chosen you, after all." "Chosen?" Mark was livid. "Of all the biasing, sickening Insolence, whistling me up In front ot all my friends like that I" "Are you trying to tell me that you didn't send that announcement to the papers?" "I certainly dldn'tl" ''But you've been banging round her ever since your oure, you've been trying to cut out Farrell Arml tage, you've been Don't yon want to marry Barbara V "Yes, I da At least I suppose I do. In a way. But when I choose. . Not when she chooses." "Barbara didn't send that an nouncement, Mark. She thought It was your doing." Mark gaped. For a moment Jie looked like bis mother. "She waa angry about It," contin ued Leila slowly. "So angry that she went oft early this morning and definitely promised to marry Far rail." "That's a Hot" "No. It Isn't And, anyway, you won't help any by hurting my wrist. She 'phoned the senior partner at Jacques Malavle's and asked him to tell me. Apparently she and Farrell are going to Join Kenneth Poole In South Africa. ... Oh, Mark!" Mark had let her wrist go and was huddling Into his oorner of the car. Hla shoulder trembled. "Oh, Mark, don'tl Are you crying, Mark?" Sight and sound became fluid for Leila, merging Into her desperate hope. "Don't care so much, Markle; marry me Instead, we'll hare lots ot fun yet You won't find me boring, you know." "Got out I" ordered Mark thickly. He swung open the door, but he did not order bis chauffeur to stop. Leila, her eyebrows very arched, waited. Mark shut the door sulkily. "All right!" he grumbled. "We'll get married, then, and before they do. That'll be something. Did you know Armltage has gone broke? He told me yesterday. Do you Imagine he sent the announcement?" "No, I don't." "Who, then?" She shook ber head. Patsy? Judy? No. No. Her. chsotlo mind ejected both ol them. Mr. Frere? Just possibly, Mr. Frere? Then Mark, too, was saying some thing about Mr. Frere. 'told me I ought to marry you. not Barbara. So that naturally I decided I'd be damned If I did. But probably we shan't have enough money to stay married long. It's s Pity you threw away that emerald. I might have sold It back to Bar bara." Copyright, tin, JuHa Oltft-Atdan) The End PIERCES TO ATTEND INAUGURATION RITES PORTLAND, Pet). . (AP) Walter K.
