KATHARINE HAVILAND-TAYLOR

"You've been sweet about listening to all this." Marela admitted when at last she had finished. "But It's no wonderful having a baby for one's own! I can't help babbling. I hope rome day you'll understand."

On nights when Aarela could not alcop she was haunted by Arthur Palmer's eyes and what he had said. He didn't know what he was talking herself. He about, aho assured couldn't understand how she folt ed. about Dick, her husband. If Dick, who belloved her to be so innocent,

It was on one of the hottest after noons in June that Marcia called at her brother's home. Higgins opened the door for her. He said, "Mr. and Mrs. Colvin are expecting you, Miss Marcia."

"Well!"

"It looks as if life were happy for you, Barty," Marela commented after they were on their way.

"Happy doesn't half express it," he responded.

"I'm so glad," she commented. She assured herself that she really was glad. And yet Barrett's infatuation; menneed her. When she had been a child Barrett had always been willing to do anything to stop her tears. Now that Elinor ruled him, or could rule that was changed! A fool could seo him if she wanted to.

When Barrett returned home at bit after six he found Lida Stafford sitting with Elinor. As Lida greeted him she gave him a sly glance and a smile which he know Elinor noted.

A little time passed and then Lida rose. "Run in to see me to-morrow morning, will you, Barry?" she asked sweetly. "I have some business with which I want help." Again the sly

lance.

There was nothing for Barrett Colvin to do but curso the luck that had fed him into such a trap.

With a quick shy glance at him. Elinor flushed. Marela felt herself hardening as she stared at Barrett. She had thought him to be devoted to her but she realized now he had given her only the surface of his fave, crumbs from his table. It was not a pleasant thought for ute of Marcia's

She settled herself in a chair. "Tell me, was Cuba amusing?” she asked, "Rather," said Barrett, ngain look ing at Elinor. "I've always been at- tracted by the place.

She sat down on a low stool and watched him, frowning at himself in the mirror.
