Chapter Jl TARLETON AGAIN IT'EBRUARY was bad for Marsha twice Mrs. Powers was acutely 111, a nurse became a fixture, the doctor a constant visitor. Once Marsha (clt she must wire Bob, recalling him; but her hope that the next day "things would be better" was Justified; for a little time more, she docldcd, she could fight on alone. Mrs. Powers liked Marsha at her bedside. "The -lurse Is an efficient, a very admirable young woman, but I seem to need you, child," said Mrs. Powers. "I am, I sometime feel, rather absurdly dependent upon you, cblld. I hope I do not weary you by the dependence?" Marsha said that the dependence did not weary her, and her voice was a trifle thick. She, herself, had learned too much of dependence, She did not know how she could go on without Bob's mother, who was the only person who had ever roally cared. "1 adore you!" she thought, looking toward the faded and shrunken small person who lay on the great bed. Marsha thought swiftly then of the groceries she must order. Such things diverted one and ever since she bad cried, face pressed against Mrs. Powers' knees, It bad been too easy ior her to cry. And oddly enough, that was because, at mo ments and despite circumstances, the was so very, very bappy. The nurse talked to Marsha "rather too persistently," Marsha felt, about getting out. To Ella and Hannah, the nurse said, sounding angry. "She ought to get out more. She suffers more when the old lady suffers, than the old lady does I" "You mean, I prosume, Mrs. Pow ers?" Hannah questioned chilly. She knew her place, did Hannah, but "the old ldy"l Impertinent, It was; and Incorrect, too, with Mrs. Pow ers baroly seventy! (Hannah was aovonty-two). But with Hannah's anger some whut calmed, Hannah considered the matter and spoke to Marsha about It. AND becauso the nurse and Han nah and Ella and even Bar tholomew said that they felt she should get out a bit more If she would pardon the liberty of their peaking Marsha went out to shop ono afternoon, saying before she left, and with mock sadness, tbat she did not fool she was very popu lar. Once out, she snw Gcoffroy Tnrleton. Her shopping had been done fair ly quickly considering the time It takos to move In Now York, where traffic is controlled In the most modern manner. And knowing her early return would he a disappoint ment to those who wanted her to have "a long, free afternoon," she turned, for her tea. Into a small, sedate hotel on a side street. She did not think she would meet any, one she knew. An old waltor, who saw hor as very kind as well as most beautiful, put himself out to servo her well so much of kindness coupled with beauty, exporlonce had taught him Is rare. And although the temper of orvants had not at one time mat tered at all to her, Marsha was now warmed by the wish to plonse that she felt. She was actually enjoying the tame little moment, she decided, as she loosened ber fur, when she looked up to see Geoffrey Tarlclon entering tho dining room and, eyoa upon her, moving toward hor. Threading through tnblos swiftly and with his usual nonchalance, nine-tenths of ;he few women pres ent looked after blin. "Well!" he said, by hor table and looMng down upon her; she was not looking quite well, he saw, but he bad never known her to be lovelier. "1 came here," said Marsha, "be cause 1 thought no one I knew would be here, and Geoff, that has a moral." "I snw you come In; 1 tanged you . . . old hnblts cling. Can't 1 sit down for a few moments.

"I bear tho Jld lady'a acting tho dragon, and that you're locked In a tower," said Geoffrey as he settled to lay the coat he had shed, bis stick, hat and gloves upon a nearby cbalr, "You bear tbe usual lies that are made by gossips," Marsha answered. "I've thought ot you a lot, Marsha. I've wanted to ring you up to ask you to have tea with me, and wanted to ask you a few questions. I sup pose you get your afternoon out, a la cook?" "Please don't call me, Geoffrey." "Very well. I smashed thing" up for you, didn't I?" "Quite successfully," p' admit ted, "but I haven't blr.med you. It was my fault" "Isn't It fixed up?"
