CHAPTER XUV
B
ARRETT took tha key fro
tha lock ot tfao door baton he
answered. Then he said, "I Borer
have tried sa hld the boy.
BUnor
8ha stoved one haad nervoaslj
"Tie child kit a right to live In
roar home. she said Insistently
"A real home such as Aunt Bes
sie's bo ja bare. It's horrible to
be shtmted from place to place. I
know all about that!"
Be said nothing, staring dolly
oat at the Sonnd.
Hasn't he a right a real
right -to lire In roar house!"
Elinor demanded.
"Perhaps," he conceded.
She flashed with anger. "How
can too doubt k?" she asked as
close to stridently as she eoald
speak.
Barrett made no reply to that.
Alter they were seated hi the ear
be asked, "Do yoa' want to stop
at the Thro pes!"
"Not today unless yon particu
larly want to."
"No," he answered. The neces
sary pretending before Bessie
Thrope would be too difficult!
Elinor sat rigid. She drew
away from him on tarns ol the
road where, with the motioa ot
; the car, her shoulder might bare
brushed his. He felt this deeply.
Bat he had no notion of her
thoughts. '
Elinor was thinking of the
child to be born in that small
house they had just left. Bar
rett's child. She had not told him
about it. At first the secret had
made her wildly happy bat now
all that was changed. K only
made the situation In which she
round herself more bltttr, more
hopeless.
Barrett turned to look down at
her and saw tears In her eyes.
"My God, this is cruel. Elinor!"
he whispered.
"More cruel than yoa know,"
she answered.
Re smiled grimly at that, "I
think not!" he said surely.
TXHl miles they traveled With
oat speaking. When they
reached home Barrett went to the
library. There, alone and smok
ing hard, he tried to decide what
to do about the expedition,
whether H was best for her to
hare him oat of the way. That
would determine his course. Her
feeling end her need. Nothing
elst seemed of any Importance to
him.
They dined almost la sltooee.
Even before the servants they no
longer pretended devotion to each
other. The strain was too great.
Hlgglns, oppressed and worried
by the atmosphere, moved deject
edly. Something was very much
amiss and Hlgglns could not un
derstand it. These two young
people should have been utterly
and completely happy together.
The other servants were aware
of the situation also and thli dis
tressed the butler.
In the midst ot the dinner Hlg
glns answered the telephone and
hurried back to the dining room.
He said to Barrett, "Mr. Radnor
says he must speak to you, sir."
"Bring the telephone, please,"
Barrett answered in a tone of
complete disinterest.
Hlgglns brought the Instru
ment, plugged it In and set it al
Barrett's hand.
"Yes." Hlgglns beard. There
was a 'Hence and then a shocked,
"Oh, no. Dick!"
After s few more words, Barrett
stood np. "It's the baby!" ha
raid. "Something's wrong. They
brought him to town this morn
ing for Winters to look after him
nd he's worse. Dick says Msr
sla's nearly wild. I'm afraid I'll
bave to go down"
PLINOR said nothing but she
" had lost color. Sh sat star
ing at her plate. Her suddenly
trembling hands nervously fin
gered the sliver.
Here was a new peril- -the loss
of a child. That too might lie
before her. If she should lose her
child she would have nothing
no one In the world left! Marcta
had Dick Radnor, a devoted Hus
band who loved her with ell his
heart.
Another thought cut her heart
with knlfe-llke thrust. Was Ger
ald' mother living?
Barrett turned at the door.
"Ooodby," ha said wistfully.
"Ooodhy." Bllaar answered.
There was ao sofltag la her
tone and he moved away heavily.
Hlgglns, entering with tha des
sert, said cautiously. "Mrs. Col
Tln. may I speak to yoa about
something that has been ena
bling met"
"Certainly, Hlgglns." she told
him but not as aha would have
answered a tew weeks ago. Tha
batler had never known anyone
to change so completely la such a
short time.
"I'm troubled about Mr. Col
vln." ha went on. rubbing bis
hands together In embarrassment.
"He's not weU. Mrs. Colvln. and
that's strange because he usually
haa each excellent health. I've
never known htm ta be like thta
before, i cant help bet ha
tlarmed about It I've been with
Aa family for such a long time,
There's nothing 1 wouldn't do for
him. Nothing! He's each a Bne
man, Mrs. Colvln
She Unshed hotly. Re saw bet
lay down a piece ot silver and was
sure she had been moved by bis
words.
Elinor, angry and close to tears,
said distantly, "I think yoa need
not worry, Hlgglns, Mr. Colvln Is
quite strong."
"Bat those fevers la the trop
ica,'' he murmured. "They're very
dangerous!"
R rose and found that her
knees were weak and an
steady. "Ton may bring my oof
tee to the drawing room," she
said.
"Tea, Mrs. Colvla." tha batler
answered unhappily. As he ar
ranged the tray he meditated that
tor all he knew he had only made
a bad matter worse. But to stand
by and see the storm cloads thick
ening was impossible. He couldn't
do that. No doubt It was the
matter of Mist Marc la's boy thai
was making all this trouble. Hlg
glns knew that It ha should as
much as hint at what ha knew
shout that affair he would loss
his Job and far worse!-his mas
ter's trust. y
He fumbled with a handker
chief and dabbed an eye. Never
before bad he felt so old. Be bsd
grown stooped and white-haired
serving this family la this old
house but he had never felt tha
stoop until lately. Now hope
lessness was giving cruel weight
to his years. Be carried, as do
those who are truly devoted, the
heartaches of the ones he loved
Elinor was In the drawlne room.

when Hlgglns brought the coffee
tray and placed it on a low table
before her. She had turned off
the lights and the gray of aa early
summer evening filled the room.
Curled up in the big chair, she
looked Ilka a wistful, uncertain
youngster of 16.
She had been' thinking ovei
what the butler bad said. Per
haps he was right. She bad been
too much concerned about bersell
recently to think of anyone else.
Suppose something should happen
to Barrett while he was away!

came quickly to the door of the
drawing room. His face was white
and drawn.
"He's goae," Barrett stated
with an effort- "Mania's baby!

She felt herself grow taint

a muscle twitch at the corner ol
