CHAPTER XVI
TnLINOR had aerer hod seek
esstoa wHh hr Bother as
that or the drira home Iroaj Miss
Ella's. 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-

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.
