Barrett had .aten a scant breakfast and moved restlessly, valting for Elinor who, or the first time he could -remember, had had her breakfast in bed. He stood "before the fire, hands hrust deeply into his pockets, rattling coins. He moved to a window and then turned away, picked up a book, laid It down and sat down to try to read a paper. A moment later he had cast that aside to wander once more to the window. He did all these things half a dozen times and found he could settle to nothing. noth-ing. The maid, dusting, watched him circumspectly. "He's a very restless sort of gentleman," she said later to the cook. At 11 Barrett gave in and sent a note to Elinor. His handwriting handwrit-ing was nervously unsteady. The note read: "Child Will you give me a chance to talk with you? I don't deserve your consideration consid-eration in the least but I don't know how to go through another hour without with-out trying to make you understand un-derstand a little of my than. Barrett." Elinor came down almost Immediately. Im-mediately. . She looked pale and there were shadows beneath the bine eyes. Shivering a little, she dropped to an Ottoman near the fire and turned her wan face to the dancing flames. "You were very good to come down." he said with the stiffness which speaks of strain. "Oh, no " she answered listlessly. list-lessly. -Elinor! - "Yes?" "Will you try to understand me?" "I have always iried, Barrett. Sometimes it hasn't been easy. .You see I feel the same way all the time. You well, you know how it's been with us from the ROOTS AND HF.R HI.WVO .

The words ended a trifle brokenly. TTE dropped to a chair that was close to her and leaned toward her, arms on knees. "I have always al-ways loved you." he said slowly and gravely. "Then it hasn't made you kind!" she answered hotly. "I'm sorry but for the first time since I've known you, I doubt you! If you had loved me things wouldn't have happened the way they did last night. The way you kissed me it was as though it was something you were ashamed of!" Her chin raised. She turned eyes made hostile by pride to meet his gaze. "I don't want love like that. I don't want anyone to love me and ae ashamed of it!" she stated after a stretch Of silence that became be-came more tense with each moment. mo-ment. "I have hurt you badly," he said half-aloud. "Yes; from the first. You've given me no chance to be of any worth to anyone. I am one of those weak people who can't help being dependent. When I know I've displeased you I feel perfectly per-fectly miserable. I'm afraid to speak and quite certain that I'll say or do the wrong thing. I'm never sure of myself. I've always been aware of my shortcomings. They've been pointed out to me by many people. It isn't kind or fair to take advantage of a person who stumbles habitually " "Elinor ," he began " but she cut him short. "Before our marriage and since," she said, "there have been times when you seemed to care a little for me. And then you always drew away again as though you were ashamed. I suppose you regretted your lack of taste!" She was breathing quickly and her face had flushed. He took her hand, held' It between be-tween his tightly. He saw the tears in her eyes. Perhaps, he reasoned, if his attitude had been different she would not have turned to Bob Telfare. "I love you," he said. "God knows, Elinor, that I speak the truth!" "You think me to be capable of flirting and trying to hide it! You said last night that I needn't pretend pre-tend to be surprised!" " SHE tried to look the scorn for this she felt. She failed. Her lips trembled and she turned from him, crying. "But. child " he said brokenly. brok-enly. "Oh, don't!" she begged. "I'll begin to think it will last again. I'll start being happy and then tomorrow or the next day you'll scarcely speak to me!" "You care ?" he murmured, amazed. "Yes, if it's any satisfaction to you, I do. And I. too. am ashamed of caring!" She struggled up. Barrett got to his feet and put a hand on. her, arm. "Please let me go, Barrett!" she begged. "I will in a moment, dear. Elinor, If I can make you happy for the rest of the time we must spend together and if by the end of that time you have gained some trust in me, there is nothing in the world that would make me so happy as to help you to a life worth while open, without evasion eva-sion BUDDIES fcVJT ,bE.

When I thought yoa cared a little and then you you " He drew her into his arms and held her close. She had not spoken the truth, he was sure. She had gone somewhere with Bob Telfare that afternoon when he wanted to tell her he loved her. But she had had little from life to help her in building a strong, decent code. Perhaps love- his love offered honestly would help to do this. Perhaps she could learn the satisfaction of living honestly and straightforwardly. straight-forwardly. ' She was shaking from her sobs. He felt his own eyes sting. Stooping, Stoop-ing, he pressed his cheek against her hair. She drew away. "Tomorrow," she said, "you'll scarcely speak to me! I know yon'll change!" "No!" he contradicted sharply. CHE smiled wanly and turned from him to hurry to the hall and up the stairs. Alone he considered con-sidered the situation. She was pitiably dependent and alone. He had not helped her. Instead he had hindered her. A little blindness blind-ness to her faults, a greater appreciation ap-preciation of ' the good, that was hers perhaps with a few years of this her leaning to "affairs" would be lessened and they could have a decent sort of life together. to-gether. After all, he thought, all life seems to be a compromise. "Never the whole, eternal quietude." He loved her. It was love he felt love that had made his eyes sting when she was crying in his arms. But he did not, could not, respect or trust her. Bentwell Stafford did not leave his bed that day. "One of the bad days," he panted to Barrett who wandered to his room to visit him. The nurse, Barrett noticed, no-ticed, kept attentive fingers on his wrist. Elinor remained In her own room. The rain fell slowly, dismally. A wire came from Llda to announce that she was coming. Twilight settled early and the night that followed was velvet black. Miss Hemmingway telephoned tele-phoned for the physician who was attending Bentwell Stafford. At dinner, the first meal of the day Elinor had eaten with Barrett, the girl was abstracted, worried by her father's condition and wilted by the emotional tension that she had known during the last 24 hours. Barrett, who could not forget her accusations, was conscience-stricken. conscience-stricken. He could not take his eyes from her. She seemed so weary and" so badly shaken by her father's loss of consciousness. Barrett could sense the strain that made it impossible for her to do more than toy with her food. He decided that he would see to it that the doctor had a Iodic' 'at the daughter as ' Well as the father. His heart caught at the thought of her being ill. As the clock struck midnight the maid hurried down the stair. At the door of the living room she paused, swallowed hard and then spoke. "Mr. Colvln." she said, "please sir. Miss Hemmingway wants you to come up.
