BARGAIN 'A, KATHARINE HA KATHARINE HAVILAND-TAYLOR HIDE BEGIN HERE TODAY. BARRETT COLVTN, back In New York after years abroad, in love with 20-year-old ELINOR STAFFORD. Barrett is 35, wealthy, and has made a name for himself as an archeologist. LIDA STAFFORD, Elinor's beautiful mother, has kept the girl in the background, wanting attention for herself. Lida is carrying on a flirtation with VANCE CARTER aad constant by scheming to keep in the good graces of rich MISS ELLA SEXTON, her husband's aunt, in order to inherit a share of the Sexton fortune.

Years before, Barrett shielded his MARCIA, when a youthful romance ended disastrously. Marcia had a son whom Barrett adopted. She tells Barrett that if her husband learns of the affair he will never forgive her. Lida goes to Miami. Elinor is glad, knowing that with her mother away she will have some chance to hold Barrett's interest.

She sees him frequently during the three weeks her mother is away. Then Lida returns unexpectedly. She enters are apartment, hears Elinor talking to a man and listens, deliberately eavesdropping. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XII. Lida leaned forward, listening frankly.

She wanted to know what Elinor and the young man were saying. Her eyes took in a huge bouquet of red roses on a table in the hall. Beyond, in the drawing room, she saw butterfly orchids in a silver bowl. Then she heard Elinor say, "But It was Barrett Colvin, Lida realized. She did not want to have Barrett Colvin devoted to Elinor! She wanted him to admire her; to recite her good qualities to Miss Ella Sexton who was devoted to Barry and obviously easily influenced by him.

A tragedy it would be, Lida decided swiftly, for Aunt Ella to leave the bulk of her fortune to Elinor. And Aunt Ella was quite likely to leave a large part of it to anyone Barrett Colvin admired. Elinor's tastes were too simple; Elinor would have been perfectly happy living on the smallest allowance while Lida simply had to have money! Elinor, of course, would give her mother what she needed, but Lida did not want her daughter in the position where she could give, a have her capable of spending what she pleased. Elinor would be altogether too generous with such people as the Thropes and Philip Sexton. "Any young girl is better off for control," Lida thought often.

She could always make herself comfortable concerning any lie and assure herself that whatever she wanted was the thing that was right. She tiptoed a little closer to the drawing room doorway and stood close to a curtain, pressed against the wall. Elinor was saying, "But I've never known anyone so fine as you are, Barry. It's ridiculous for you to keep harping on age as you do!" He blurted out, want you to have the best!" XI There was a silence. Then Lida heard his deep-drawn breath and knew he had pissed Elinor.

"I didn't mean to do that he said, and hesitated. He was going on, Lida was sure, to say "before I asked you to marry me." Oh, but she could not have that! Lida moved toward the drawing room door. On the threshold she paused, knowing the picture she made. "My dear, dear, dear child!" she exclaimed tremulously. She saw the color drain from Elinor's face and her eyes grow big and dark.

Elinor had on a new dress and was wearing her hair in the way Lida had declared to be absurdly theatrical. Barrett Colvin did not like the interruption, she saw. Hs was flushed and looking sullen. But she would manage it so that he would thank her and later, with a little more managing, she could bring him to heel. The envious malice asserted itself and brought a tinge of pink to Lida's lovely skin.

It would be an absurd marriage for Elinor, she decided. Elinor would be far happier married to some poor man, puttering about at housework as Bessie Thrope did, trying to stretch pennies and nickels, than attempting to manage the household of a millionaire. "Be a little glad to see me, please, dear!" Lida begged wistfully of Elinor and very tenderly kissed her. She saw a question in Barrett Colvin's eyes which she knew (with satisfaction) had been put there by Elinor's turning cool cheek for that kiss. Lida laid her small hands on Elinor's shoulders.

"I cao't tell you how good it is to see you, my darling," she said, her voice full and throbbing. "I've missed you so much." "It's going to be ridiculously easy," Lida thought. But she mustn't leave them alone until she had had a chance to speak to Barrett in private! "Darling," Lida said, pulling off her gloves, "would you do something for mother?" Elinor stood like a stick. All her grace had been wiped away by resentment and growing "fear. Yet surely, the girl thoughtt, trying to down the ache that was beginning in her heart, he cared! He was too true, too loyal, to be influenced now.

If he could ba changed by her mother he was not the man she had believed him to be. Nothing could be then as she had dreamed. Life would be it would be horrible! Her heart cried out, "Please Barrett! Please understand!" Lida went on, "I want you to telephone Aunt Ella to tell her 1 am back home safe, sweet. And dear Cousin Bessie and, of course, your father. They're all so absurdly anxious about my safety," she ended', turning to Barrett.

Without a word, Elinor left the room, her knees weak. For the first time in her life she had been truly happy. For the first time she had realized what life might hold. And the moment could hardly realize it had kissed her. As she left the room, Elinor could £jec, without turning her head to look back, that her mother was holding out an appealing hand to Barrett.

Until that moment Lida had ignored him, apparently absorbed in her reunion with her daughter. It took several minutes to telephone Bessie Thrope, Miss Ella (who could talk, talk, talk), and her father for whom she had to wait. When Elinor returned sV found Barrett still standing, looting rather white beneath bis heavy tan, and with new lines around his mouth. He said, bowing stiffly, that he must leave. "What have you done?" Elinor asked ihe heard Benson cloM the outer door after him.

"But what can you mean, dear?" Lida questioned in turn and with an assumption of Innocence that made Elinor know something very bad had happened. "I mean what I say, mother." Her voice shook. "Can't just for honest? I love Barrett Colvin and he loves n.c. He to tell me to when you came The child, Lida saw wearily, was crying, shaking. "If he loves you, dear, of course he will tell you no.

What could my coming have to do with It?" Elinor laughed suddenly, hysterically. Then, sobbing deeply, she turned and left the room. Barrett walked blindly, without knowing where he was heading. Mrs. Stafford had said lit came back slowly but all too clearly): "It is so good to find you here with Elinor!" He had thanked her, a trifle surprised at the way she had.

spoken the words. "I was afraid," she went oa hesitantly as she sat down, "that Bobby Telfair might be here. His influence is not at all good for little Elinor. She is, I must confess, quite modern enough Can you get used to what these youngsters call Mr. Colvin?" He had cleared his throat.

He had murmured a stifled, "Why "Elinor is so appealing," Lida continued in a troubled way. "Everyone likes her, especially older men. She flatters them mercilessly into the feeling thst they're young again and then laughs about it afterwards. Youta is so cruel, don't you think?" He had moistened his lips, nodded. "Little scamp!" Lida murmured and sighed.

"Promise me you'll use your influence with her!" she appealed. He made no re- apoose. "I'm sure," Lida admitted laughing and ruefully, "that I won't have to cough loudly whenever I enter a room In which you are alone with -Elinor!" She eat silent then for a short time, apparently given over to her unhappy problem. "I am, Mr. Colvin," she confessed with a sigh, "a rather old- fashioned sort of person, I fear.

Some of tableaus Elinor has provided for me have quite broken me up. but her lips trembled. He saw her fumbling for a handkerchief and saw that she could not go on, that she had all she could do to regain control. Elinor came in then. Barrett could not look at her.

He could only stand dully, aching In every fiber and feeling a cheated fool. Somehow, he realized in the chill of the outer air, he had made his escape. (To Be Continued.)
