HOW GO 051 W1TB THE STOKI CHAPTER V I ARRETT took the not and read It. "Lord!" to muttered complstntngly. Hlggtns looked his sympathy bead oa one tide. Ups drooping and the picture be made restored Barrett's good nature. "Summons to Miss Sexton's (or tea," be said, amillng. "No get ting out ot it, I suppose. Tou know what to lay out for me." He paused, tben asked, "Is Hiss Smyths still with Miss Ella?" "Tea. Mr. Barrett." When be was a boy. Barrett recalled, alias Smyths bad been Miss Ella Sexton's secretary and he bad always half-dreaded ber. A cold, bloodless creature. Of Miss Ella be was really tond. She was a snob but likeable in spite of It. Halt an hour later be was be ing ushered Into the old-fashioned, hlgh-cellinged parlor. "How delightful!" Misa Ella exclaimed. "Come In. Barrett." And to the butler. "That will be ail. Craven. Tea aa usual " Barrett crossed the room to bend above Miss Ella's band. Sbe had acquired a cane since be left. "I am growing old, Barrett," . Alius Ella said, ber voice faintly unsteady, "and as one ages one fears slipping from the world, it is not things I bare done that trouble me but those 1 hare not done!" "My Lord!" thought Barrett. "Mies Ella's human after all!" "Not unladylike things." she hastened to add. "But there was a young mas, Barrett. I don't mind saying it now. Tour father " "My dear!" be murmured, touched. "You're like him!" she con fided and tben turned to wipe ber eyes. Almost Immediately ber mood changed. "After tea." she said crisply. "I bave an affair of business to discuss with you, Bar rett" aaa US wondered uncomfortably L1 what thla could be. The last thing be wanted waa to bare any one think be wished to be "re membered" in the iong-talked-of Sexton will. He waa about to put a question wben Craren entered with tbs tea tray. Old Spode and surer. A pound cake. As a boy Barrett bad always been de lighted to take two pieces. Miss Ella bad remembered bla fond ness, donbtlesa would expect blm to hare two pieces today. He writhed at the thought. The butler brought bis cup and saucer and waa dismissed. Miss Ella asked about Barrett's travels and he made brief, polite answers. That done, she turned to her con cern. "As you know, BarreTt," she began, "my fortune Is quite a considerable one." "Tea, Miss Ella." He would hare given $20 for a clgaret but dared not risk IL "And you also know my large family connection." "Tea," be agreed again. She was diverted for a second. He had not had his second piece of pound cake! How thought less of h?r! Miss Ella smiled, cajoling blm, for to her he was a boy. He took the second piece with aa much enthusiasm aa be could muster. Tben she began the story an old one he knew well. Miss Ella wanted to leave ber fortune where It would do good. She waa fond of her niece, Bessie, who had married Jim Thrope but she had beard through Llda Staf ford that Bessie was wasteful. Besides that, James Thrope lacked ambition. On the other band, ber nephew, Bentwell Stafford, waa "an addict to alcohol" while Llda, bla wife, "encouraged young men!" Thla was said with a tight closing of lips, a shake ot the bead. Soon. Barrett realised, she would speak of ber grand-nephew, Philip Sexton, to whom she had given a home. It came. "! bad suspicions of Philip." the began. aaa n ARRETT leaned forward and she halted. "1 bops you'll forgive tbla," be said. "It's frightfully Impertinent ot me, I know, but remember one finds that for which on Is looking " "I did not make bis forgery ot my check by looking for HI" Miss Ella stated stiffly. "No," Barrett admitted. He sat back. She hesitated a mo ment and be knew the crisis ot ber talk to be near. "Which do you think to be the most deserving of my tiast, Bar rett?" Miss Ella aaked. "I don't know any of your relatives at all, Miss Ella. They're only acquaintances," "Ah! That la exactly the point. Barrett I want you to know them and tell me all yoa know!" He was outraged: be Hushed darkly. For a moment he could not speak. Then, remembering that she was old, bo said care fully. ".Visa Ella. I cannot apy oa them. I wouldn't do that why. I couldnt do that it I were un certain where to leave my own money!" "Tou misunderstand me!" "Sorry," be murmured. "I thought " "I will explain. I merely want yon to drop in; to meet them oc casionally: to tell me how yoa like them" He laughed a little uneasily and leaned forward, arma oa knees. He shook bis bead, smil ing at ber. "Too large a respon sibility." be assured ber. Then be saw that ahe waa angry. "I am not accustomed to having people refuse my orders, Barrett!" "I know, dear," be admitted unhappily. The "dear" melted ber. "Ah. Barrett." sbe quavered. "I'm old. so old 1 sometimes fear they come to see me only because ot what I have. I do not want my uiuuey. wnicb micat do so muck good, to be lost ayi Idle pleasure. Llda with ber frocks Bessie throwing away good food Bent well drinking! I am so distract ed! 1 had thought ot leaving Doctor Bold a tidy sum for bla work among the poor but not now. Not now! 1 bave found him to be unworthy. Barrett He is using candles on the altar!" Barrett's Hps were set He wanted to laugh and yet It wasnt funny. "Aunt Ella." said Barrett, "I'd like to help you but I really can't see how I can." aaa CHE waa staring at ber frail old J banda which looked like parchment stretched on knobby Ivory. "Will you come wben I ask yon to tea?" abe questioned. She would assemble them and Bar rett's face would tell the truth for blm. Had ahe not known from it long ago' about Mania's affair with the rldrhf master? She bad only to read Barrett'a troubled eyes and say to Marcla, "I saw you riding In the park " to be sure ot the whole disgraceful story. And Barrett's father, who bad been her young auitor, dying at the very time In the house across the street: dying without knowing bow inattera lay and leaving bla money as be would not bave left It. had be known the facts. Life was a cruel maxe and full of trick. Miss Ella waa determined that ahe would sot be tricked. She would not be duped by those to whom she left ber money aa Barrett'a father bad been. "Why, of course," Barrett re plied to ber question about com ing to tea. "Tou know I'll come." That la all 1 ask, Batrett." j "Very well." be said, Standing up. The audience had come to an end and be waa dismissed. "Tben I shall welcome you to my home soon. Barrett" "I bope so." be answered. His desire to please ber lonely, un certain old soul waa sincere. As Craven opened the street door for blm Barrett saw a motor car stopping. Llda Stafford. Miss Ella's niece by marriage, waa In the car. Barrett, seeing ber. felt that she still deserved the fame for beauty that had been here years before. "Ah. Barrett Colvln!" shs called prettily. She came for ward, stripping off a glove and held out her band. Barrett took It, bowing. She was arrestlngly lovely in a soft plnk-and-wblte way. A bit too calendar-picture for Bar rett, yet easy to look upon. Her beauty was quite different from that of her daughter, Eleanor, yet It was ot Eleanor ha longed to ask. Llda said quickly, "Tou'vs been to see Aunt Ella, haven't you? How sweet ot you I How Is she today?" "She seemed very well to me." "I'm so glad. I get so anxious about her," Llda went on. "I hope that some day you'll come to see me? I don't suppose It sounds very alluring bnt I'm so Interested In all you've been doing!" "May 1 drop In some day wben your daughter too la at borne?" Barrett asked "I met ber the otoer day." He flushed a little j auu luaiuea oimseic lor aoing so. Llda's expression did not change bnt ber thoughts did. Barrett Colvln Interested In Elinor? She wasn't going to bave that for a moment No. indeed and sbe knew bow to put a stop to it!
