BOW CO OH WITH TBS BTOBX CHAPTER n fJARRETT COLTIN turned Impa tiently to bi( deal. It was ri dlcnloni at him to seep thtaklnf of the gtrL In as effort to put her out ot Ui mlad ho opened and canned a letter or two. A few Teen aco he had thought that It the amell group who under (tood hit work felt It waa good hla aahltloa would be reached. Now hero he waa reading all thi worda ot praleo and Instead ot feeling pleased ha waa wondering what It would be Uho to take a ' alrl ot Elinor Stafford, aort to dinner or the theater. He poked bills Into pigeon holes, decided to get rid ot Dexter promptly and aa soon as he could to aiake a trip to the Connecticut farm house where hla ward 11 red. Probably, Barrett reflected, ho would bore ouch a girl aa Elinor Stafford. He had alwava despised Btlddloaged bob who derated thexuelTee to young girls. Why the dertl waa he glrlng the natter ao much thought, anyhow? There want a chance la a hundred ot hla taking this particular girl any where. Ot coarse he Bight happen to seat her at Hiss Ella's He poshed aside the letter he was reading, disgusted with him eelf. He wrote hla age. U, on the desk blotter. Elinor Stafford was : 1 or 10 he Judged. Ot course she would marry some youngster, eotne youth la her own act. She would bare a home, children, all that she ahnnid have. Lord but the house aaauied quletl Sbe had such gentle eyes. She would be fery sweet with children. Barrett roee suddenly, wishing . he were back In the desert, wran gling with some oatlre who would aot hare sacred ground disturbed for the price offered. Dreaming of a bathtub and brushing the sands of. time from the abin bone of a dinosaur. But be wasnt in the desert and, until things cleared up the question of Geralds future settled and llarda's baby bom bs would not go on any expedi tion, no matter how tempting. Again Barrett Coins eettled at his desk. Then be drew back aharply. Beneath the figure -36-he had written "1 or 10." a a KTARCIA, meantime, turned to look at Elinor Stafford. "She haa young beauty," Marcia thought. "Real beauty muted by the wrong aort of clothes." A girl with Elinors coloring and her chestnut brown hair should not, ot course, wear gray tweeds. With her youth ful allmnesa and slightly angular lines she needed softness. Perhaps, Marcia reflected with that keenness women hare In measuring one an other. It was Elinor's mother who wss responsible tor the girl's 111. chosen costume. That would be exactly like Lids Stafford. Yes. Indeed! "You were calling on your aunif" Marcia Questioned. She was only making conversation. Mentally Marcia was telling herself that she must bring Barry to her point of rlew about the boy. "Tea," Elinor answered In her usually stay way. "1 hope she la aa well as usual r ! Marcia went on. Of course she i knew Miss Sexton's relatives could not reaMy be wlshlns ana i-h thing. How they had horered, like human Tultures, around the auto cratlo and acid old lady who made the changing of her will a favorite Indoor sport! "She's quite well, thank you, Mrs. Radnor. She saw you drive up and spoke of bow well you were look ing." Marcla's expression became slightly etralned. Sbe hsd always auepected that Miss Ella Saiton knew more than anyone else about tbe secrets of Marcla'a past Mlsa Ella had piercing eyes and a sus picious, Inquisitive turn ot mind. How Marcia had flushed 10 years before when Mist Ella had beck oned her across the way from the old bouse to say, "1 saw you riding In tbe park" Those bridle paths and Loo Moore riding behind her when people were near. She had been B little fool but ao hungry for ro mance. There bad been little of It In the great bouse ruled by her stern fsther. ND now, why had young Dexter, the boy's companion-tutor, come to berf But Barry would fix 'that. Barry always did tlx things Hslf of fall acquaintances must owe hlra moneyl Oh, of course Barry must come around to her point of rlew. Getting the child away, far away, was the only wise thing to do. Somewhere Ja South America, pernapa. Completely away from everyone they knew. "Has there been much going oa for you young people?" Marcia asked, suddenly remembering the girl beside her. "I don't know, Mrs, Radnor. I haven't many friends." "Why. that's aot rlghtl You're really, Elinor, quite sweet." Tbe gratitude that lashed la Elinor Stafford's eyes took Marcia for a second beyond her troubled self. She laid a hand upon tba girts. "Child." she said quickly. To going to be house-bound soon and perhaps you'll be good enough to come to see me once In a while." Again Elinor's eyea raised. The girl was obviously pitiably lonely. Marcia continued. "We'll And some thing amusing to do" I'd love It. Mrs. Radnor!' Elinor answered with young In tensity. "Well then, that's that Ton lira oa Park Avenue, don't you?" "Tea. but Elinor faltered, "I was on my way down town. Would you mind dropping me somewhere near Washington Square It It's not out ot your way?" "Not at all!" Marcia answered. "Are you going la for artists, my dear? Personally I think they're rather over-dona." The girl did not answer for a moment and when Mania turned aha saw that Elinor was flushed. Marela laughed delightfully. "You sly child!" she broke out. "I think you're having aa affair!" "Oh. no, really!" Marcia thought, amused. "Heav ens, how embarrassed sbe Is!" Mrs. Radnor," Elinor added quickly, "I would rather aot have anyone know that you dropped me down town." "Ho one shall know. I'm absurd ly kind about keeping secrets, " Marcia assured her. "I knew you would be!" the girl aid with a grateful look. aaa ITARCTA flushed a trifle, but only a trifle. The flash showed with but a bint ot warmth beneath, her gardenia akin. Secrets and keen ing them bow she loathed tbe thought! How Dick loathed them. He would never forgive her. never! But aha mustn't let herself brood over such things. The doctor had said, "Keep cheerful" An easy order! Aa It one could do It at will! Marcia was Impatient with the whole world, doctors Included. "Did you know I'm going to nave a babyr she asked. "No, I didn't." Elinor answered. -Ton must be very, very happy!" "You are a dear!" said Marcia warmly. "Yea, I am. But most of my friends dont feel that wav. They say. 'Poor darling!' as though It were something calling for sym pathy. That's the usual reaction." 1 think It's a moat unpleasant reaction." Tea. Isn't ltr Marcia drawled easily, carelessly. There waa a silence. "I think I'll leave at the next cor ner, please, and I thank yon ao much, Mrs. Radnor and for ask ing me to come to aee you, too" "Darling, I'll love to have you," Marcia responded. Speaking Into me tune she told Jensen to stop the car. After Elinor had disappeared In tbe crowd and tbe car was moving on sgaln Marcia wondered about the girl and why she wanted her trip oown town kept a secret Marcia rather hoped the youngster wasn't concerned In anvthlne die. agreeaoie. Elinor waa ao young so much could come to one who waa so young, so much one was not ready for yet for which one was eagerl Marcia closed her eyea for a imie time sue drew a deep oreatn. ii DjCk ever knew, he would never forgive her Dick who was a ianatic about the truth Elinor turned into a side street that had once been an alley. Tbe moist, chill of the day bad touched It Grays were deeper, cobbles limy, puddles were raw stretches on wnicn were printed the untidy habits of those who passed a bit of orange peeling floating here, there an envelope or scraps of a torn letter. The building Into which she turned was old and marked by tbe hard years It had known. Stairs tilted forward, their edges splint ered. A woman pushed aside a bucket without raising her bead as Elinor went by her. Elinor's "Thank you" made her look up with dull and wondering surprise. At the head of the third floor stair Elinor tapped upon a worn door. "It's I, Philip," she said.
