She bald agala and acala. -Mother, people are Marine I" fee it ma (la no impression. Tba ehaaffeur'a face reddoaed from tba stares of men and women In the ears they passed. Lida'a roiee was so load and high pitched ft eon Id be heard through tbo glass. "I pllr that girl!" the aanflear thought The thought van aa old one that frequently became a chant when the servants were together. Now Ltd waa laagbioc a shrill, sneering, hysterical laugh. So tar as the chauffeur eonld hear tbero had been ao repay at all aom Hiss Elinor. Ha sympathised with the girl even mora deeply aa he opened the door of the ear a Httle later. Llda swept into the building, brrt tla aad strong from her faming anger. Elinor crept after her, her fare paper-white. "For a moment,1 the chenffenr told the butler later, "I thought she was going to fall poor kid!" Mlnor'a reactions were divided. In one way she was glad that ahe had done what ahe had. For an ether reason ahe deeply regretted Jt, Uda bad said, eyes narrowing and guttering, "Think of yonr father! The way he haa Blared all his life. And now yon with a cigar et! hare burned every chance he ever had for rest and independence!" Elinor would even hare lied to srre her father all that be de eerred. She would hare Ued gladly and as well aa ahe could. But R was too late. Barrett Colvin had not once ; looked at her. This realisation ; crept between every separate recollection of the afternoon. She had stolen side glances at him, unable to help It. Each time he had seemed coldly composed, en tirely unaware of her. Two long days and longer Rights stretched ahead. Elinor could not seem to sleep. On the morning following the second Bight Uda awoke to find the girl standing by her bed. "Well, what la K?" Uda lung Taetnlantly. She loathed being disturbed so early. "Aunt Ella's gone Elinor aid. Uda cat so. 8fae laughed shrilly. -A pretty time you those!" she began. It was the old story Elinor had heard ao often soring those two dreary days. A story of her baring ruined her parents' future. Llda punctuated her diatribe with questions. "And you knew perfectly well how she felt who telephoned?" Craven. Miss Smytae aros trated " "Miss fmythe prostrated Bow delicloas! Towr father cant go ta the office? He knows that?" "Yes." "He'H BtvbaMy be cat off wlth oe a cent aa you know. And of course you know why too but, even though be gets nothing, he must keep ap appearances. I haven't a decent Waek drees. Hns Bessie telephoned?" "No." "That's odd. I suppose ahe thinks since they will be the heirs that we are beneath notice. No doubt she's heard of your part In what happened. Hand ma my negligee! Another thing" Celeste, whom Llda had sum moned a moment berore, ap peared then and Llda exclaimed, "I've heen waiting 10 minutes. Celeste!" Elinor wont to her own, much smaller room. She sat on the edge of her narrow bed and stared at a worn rug. Perhaps ahe had ruined all hope of rest for her father. She heard her mother leaving, heard angry orders flung across a shoulder. Then there wss quiet. She must dress, she knew, but delayed, sickened by the thought of what she might have ("one to her father by smoking thst one clgaret. tie deserved some of her aunt's vast fortune. He bad worked hard all bis life, driven by Lida'a never-ending needs. Elinor twisted her hands In misery. Celeste appeared, her eyes pitying. Ab she with all the rest knew the story! "1 brought a little breakfasl for you chore Mademoiselle in the small room on tbo tray." Mademoiselle must eat. Celeste reminded. For a second she for got she was a servant to remem ber that KHnor was young and suffering and alone. She laid a hand on Kllnor's shonlrior. Thnnk you. Celeste!" Elinor tried, because of Celeste and her anxiety, to ent aa much as she could of "the little break fnst." The rest of the day passed slowly, she played chens with her fnlher, wondering If she were really as guilty as her mother said. al -.orlea nf Uarrott Col- HA VILAND-TAYLOR vln silting stiff and cold rn stirs Ella's drawing room haunted the girl. There followed another sleep less night: another day of much the same drear pattern. The third day waa perhaps the moat miserable, with Llda, nervous and flaring ap angrily or becoming sullenly morbid. Everyone knew that at four they would go Into the late Miss Sexton's drawing room and there a little later the will would be read. At length the long stretch was ended. The funeral waa gloomily cor rect. Ko one wept except Cravea. who waa old, and Bessie Throne, looking a little more bedraggled than nsual In her ahabby black. Llda was aware of the smartness of her own blsrk attire. She studied Barrett Colvia who waa staring at bla hands, gripped be tween knees. It was amaslng. Llda thought, to realise how easily he had been managed. She supposed she waa la for a bad halt hour with Vance Carter who would remind her of that promise to divorce Bentwell a thing she Intended to do In time but only when the right man appeared. How white Elinor waa! And how stuffy Bentwell looked. Senti mental foot he waa actually blinking! What a perfect old dodo the clergyman waa! Well, Llda knew her share wouldn't be diminished by him, who, despite Miss Ella's st era disapproval, had had candles placed apoa the altar. The clergyman waa droning, "We brought nothing Into tbla world and it la certain we carry aothlng out. The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away!" Lida looked extremely pensive because she wanted to smile. So terribly apt, that remark! Just an hour or two more and they'd aH hear the will. Thank God, that suspense would be over! She hsd heard Mr. Grot ner speak to Barrett Colvin be fore tbe opening of the service to ask him to stay for the reading of tbe will The drive to the burial ground waa long and cold, despite the heat In the cars. The snow that had lain for several daya had a coating of soot. The open grave and the damp earth was depress ing. Even Lida felt the dreari ness la snch passing. She saw Elinor aad saw Barrett Colvin's anxious ayes on the girl. Then the coffin waa lowered. There was the thud of earth on ita lid and the gloomy affair was over. An hour later Mr. Grotner stood, long Angers tapping the chenille cover of the library table. They were all there be fore him Bessie, Jim. Bentwell, Llda, Bsrrett Colvin, Miss Smytbe, and the servants. Llda, assured and halt-smiling, was thinking that ahe might take a house at Cannea for the re mainder of the winter with her share. Bessie waa hoping there would be enough to make things easier for Jim. Jim was consid ering a house with more room around It. The children needed space in which to play. Barrett Colvin thought of nothing but the fact that he must not show what he felt, must not even look at Elinor, sitting beside her father who reeked of Scotch and swayed a little, walking. Mr. Grotner cleared his throat, Tbe rustling and motion ceased; tension waa in the air. Mr. Grot ner began reading a long pre amble in which Miss Ella ren dered to God her gratitude for being all that she had been. Then the aervanta were men tioned. "So stuffy!" Lida de cided, twisting her gloves which she had taken off, knowing how her hands looked against tbe black she wore. She heard tba amounts which had been left the aervanta wltb growing resent ment. So pointless, Lida reflect ed. 8uch people were happier working. Imagine 120.000 for Craven! And the Interest from a soundly Invested 1100,000 for Miss Smytbe for Ufa. It wss amazing. Tbe lawyer cleared his throat again. Ah now they would hear the test! (To Be Continued) A new German parachute for use over water roules enable, the aviator to unhitch himself and lo stay afloat with a life belt which inflates itself as soon as it touches the water. Canadian air lines carried a total of 3.12,74 pounds of fre:xht during 1932. It was the larseHt amount carried since 192 and largely consisted of mining machinery going Into the north.
