"It's aboat A set Ella's money,"

The gratitude in ber glance
made him look away.
"I wish yon knew," she said,

"My dear eMId, that's ridicu

not yet world-wise enough to be

and with some embarrassment
Elinor gave him a paper on which

He considered these as his

"Why, I dont neod anytbing!
I couldn't, really, take it I'd !
eel as it I'd been small, schem

He turned to face her. "Of
course," he said slowly, "you'll
have your alimony "
"Oh, no! I couldn't take any
thing from you!"
"Look here, child!" He moved,
peaking, to face her more fully.
"We should have had this out be
fore we were married but since
we didn't, hers goes. Do you
think 1 would let soy woman or
stubborn youngster be my wife
without seeing to It thst she in
provided for sdequately when the
time and circumstance makes her
cease to be my wife?"
"I don't know." He bad never
seen her more feminine mad
deningly, alluringly so. "But I
can't," Elinor went on, "I really
can't take any money from any
one as things are. Don't you see? '
"No, I don't soe!"
"But"
"How are you planning to cars

I could only earn enough to sup

lowered eyelids making his gate
a condensed slit, "that I won't
hare that! Ton playing In some
damned restaurant!'
"I could clerk or be a social

she offered meekly. "I could do

back his chair, arose and crossed
the room. He bed not dreamed
that she coald be so obstlnste.
The girl sat still, crushed by
bla disapproval. "It s a year
ahead, aba pointed out timidly.
"Perhaps by then we can come to
some arrangement that will sat
isfy us both."
He had been rather unneces
sarily dramatic, he realised, but
the idea of her Blaring, wearing
herself out and doing without had
made him feel aa he had never
fek.
"I wont do anything you don't
want me to do! she promised.
There were tears la her eyes.
"Child," he muttered, "it you
promise me that, aH this Is an-
cessary!"
! do promise K. I owe yoa
too much to hurt yon. But I can't
take any of Aant Ella's money,
nor any from yoa "
The thawing moment was gone.
He laughed mirthlessly.
"I'm going to keep enough to
support myself while I'm here,
Elinor went on.
He flushed deeply. Thst," be
aid, "is the first really nnkind
thing I've heard yon say.'
"But Barrett "
"Elinor!" Again he sat down
beside her. "I am going to sup
port yon while you are in this
house and you're going to be suit
ably garbed. You're not going to
ride on busses
She smiled at that a little bnt
his face did not change.
"Your allowance will be ade
quate and I don't want yon to
hoard It."
"Oh, dearf" sbe murmured.
"And. what's more, I can't i
yon give away all Hiss Ella's for
tune without a protest," he added.
"You aren't!" she stated with
nor nrst and last attempt at
humor that day.
AN hour later their voices had
grown a bit shrill from strain.
She was nervous and thoroughly
upset, Elinor realized, as she
dressed for dinner. She had not
dreamed be could be so bellig
erent. He hsd insisted she must
buy twice ss many frocks as any
woman could need. He apoke of
her allowance and the amount
staggered her.
"I don't want to be an ex
Dense." aha hail nhlm-ted. "Can't
! von understand?"
To which he had replied with
a frozen. "No!"
Hlgglns. serving their dinner,
was depressed: They had been
married less than a week and ob
viously they had had their first
quarrel. They hardly spoke when
he was In the room but when he
was out of It they went on with
their discussion. Entering soft
ly, Hlgglns heard ber saying, "I'm
not a mule. I only ," and Bar
rett's response, "It you're not a
mule just what do you think you
are?"
After dinner Barrett sat in ths
library and Elinor, in the draw
ing room, played wistful tunes.
At 1 she went upstairs without
saying good night.
Barrett called for a whisky
and soda and a little later for
mother whisky and soda. He
mounted the stairs wearily at 11.
But in his room he forgot weari
ness. The door waa open.
"Barrett ?" be heard.
"Yes!" He neared the door
with a few eager strides.
"I want to speak with you a
moment If you'll come In?"
