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!
