Barrett fa 85, wealthy, and baa made a nam lor himself aa an archeologiat. Llda Stafford.

Elinor's beautiful mother, ba kept the girl In the background, wanting attention for herself. Li da la carrying on a flirtation with Vance Carter and constantly scheming to keep In the good graces of rich Mies Ella Hex ton, her husband's aunt, In to Inherit a share of the Sexton fortune. Tears before) Barrett shielded bis half sister, Marcia, when a youthful romance ended disastrously. Marcia had a son whom Barrett adopted. She tells Barrett that If her husband ever learns of the affair he wM never forgive her.

Elinor's mother goes to Miami for three weeks. When she returns she deliberately tries to break up the romance between Barrett and Elinor and succeeds. The girl Is heart broken because she doea not bear from him. Barrett and Elinor meet unexpectedly at Miss Ella Sexton's. He offers Llda a cigarette and she refuses, declaring she does not smoke.

Rebellious at Tier mother's hypocrisy, Elinor takes a cigarette, thereby offending her aunt who once more decides to revise her will. A few days later Miss Ella dies. The funeral Is he'd and the relatives asssmble to hear the will. Mow go on with the story. CHAPTER XVH THE lawyer's voice droned on.

To, my niece and nephew, Elisabeth and James Thrope," be read, "$100." Llda leaned forward to smile and nod at Bessie who sagged back limply, looking like a pudding long boiled in a bag. To my nephew, Bentwell Stafford, $100." It couldn't be true! Then Llda thought. "Aunt Ella's left the money to me. Or to Elinor." The lawyer went on reading. Ten dollars to each of them.

Ten dollars! The same sum for each of the three Thorpe boys. Bessie was crying almost uncontrollably, Llda saw. Jim bad slipped an arm around her. His face was working strangely. Bentwell sat stolid.

Eli was hia aramec.MS said. "And why you paid my daughter such attentions only to turn from her suddenly why you offered her a cigarette In this house, knowing how you could influence my aunt. You deliberately tried to give her the Impression that there was something about my daughter you didn't approve. Well, I congratulate you on your success in robbing her!" "Llda, please!" Bentwell petitioned hoarsely. Barrett was staring down at her, wonder and sudden understanding blended in his unhappy eyes.

Lord, how they all must hate him! He turned to look for Elinor. She was beside him, whiter than usual. She said gently, "I'm aorry my mother feels as she seems to. I suppose we're all upset. I know you didn't scheme and Aunt Ella had every runt to leave her money where she pleased." Then, tu.rnlng, she was gone.

Llda was approaching hysterics. "I shall take this to every court In the land!" she threatened, voice shrill and rising. "Everyone here knows I stayed with Bentwell only because that old hag hated divorce so. Bent well's a sot! He's made my life!" "Silence!" boomed the lawyer. "Silence, please, Mrs.

Stafford," said Miss Smythe crisply. So many years she bad been ground down by Mrs. Stafford and all that time she had known how Mrs. Stafford cheated Mies Ella, of whom Miss Smythe was fond. She had looked forward to this moment with the keenest pleasure but now she would not forget the war Elinor had smiled at her and said.

"I'm glad. Miss Smythe. that Aunt Ella remembered you so well. Tou de served it more than anyone else, Barrett went home and paced the living room. He ran nervous hands through his hair, across his brow.

Twenty millions of dollars or more his from the old lady and the Thro pes close to starving. He could still hear Bessie sobbing. And unless he took It the money would go to that absurd cause a vicious cause! How could that child be different than she was with that woman for a mother and a drunkard fatherT Lord if he could only fora et Bessie Thome's And for some way in which be could make it up to them all! Elinor Stafford had looked pit! ably white at the burial ground. He had thought for a moment that she was going to faint and had forsotten his anger to think only of her need for a steadier arm than her father could offer her, She had been decent more than decent to speak to him as she had. He lit a cigarette with hands that shook.

What was there ahead for her. Elinor Stafford? He knew her father's business was ill managed and neglected. Now the creditors would close In on them. Accounts would not be ex tended: credit would be gone. Barrett wished he could stop eelna Elinor as she stood.

look Ine at the yawning grave. She had started at It as a frightened child would. Watching her, he had longed to pick her up, hold her close and comfort her. "Lord. I can do It!" he eald half groaning.

He was thinking of taking: the fortune that had been left him. a fortune he could never feet to be his. He must give It bade to them In some wav. But how? How? Elinor had srlven him one glance filled with reproach Why had she looked at him he won dered. Why couldn't ha atop thinking about her? In an apartment Lida a screaming.

"You you! You did It!" She was pointing at Elinor. Brentwell was drinking from glass that trembled in his hand. Elinor looked from one to the other. She began to laugh a little and then ne began to cry. Bessie Thorpe sobbed convulsively, going back.

Jim Thorpe, small, underweight, prematurely grey, kept her arm pressed against his side. "Never mind," he said as they waited for their train. We'll manage!" He had tried to speak heartily but his voice sounded hollow and as he spoke he saw himself in a long, narrow mirror above a arot machine. He was shabby, hollow cheeked, the sort of man who when a little older sat huddled on park benches reading papers others had discarded or looking wistfully after the well fed and warm. Bessie's fat, sagged face had been swollen by the tears she had shed and It was convulsed by teara that were yet to be shed.

"I I never counted on much," che confided, and again ahe sobbed, "but 1 never thought It would be this way, Jim!" "Neither did he answered drearily. The train ahot Into the station. Humans poured from It. There was the usual tangled push made by those who wisned to get on. Many of them cast curios glances at Bessie and each time she realized this she sobbed deeply after a futile effort to keep back the sob.

She slipped her hand Into Jim's. She managed to whisper, "Anyway, we have the boys and each other!" He nodded, eyes misted. She had never seen the ahab biness of the home more clearly than ahe did a little later when thev arrived there. The linoleum on the floor of the small, dark en try had been worn through. Tne edge by the aill had warped, broken, curling.

She had thought that perhaps some dsy they would be able to have nice tiles in the pantry. Tiles washed so well! The wallpaper of the inner hall was dark and soiled. The boys had broken the knob from the newel post by sliding down the banister. There was hardly a piece of furniture In the house that did not need repair. Aunt Ella hadn't understood that She had not been able to realize that boys couldn't help tumbling about occasionally, wearing things out You couldn't nag them all the time and have a home! Bessie took off her rusty, black hat and the black coat l.iet she had borrowed from a sympathetic neighbor.

Jim Jvmlnr came pounding down the stairs, an 18 year old boy whose feet were still ahead of the rest of him. He was followed by Bert 18, enri Revtnn. almost 15. "Do I go to college?" Jim Junior asked from the landing. Bessie shook her head.

For a moment the boy was silent Then he drew a deep breath and his shoulder squared. "Oh, well, I can go to night school," he said after a hard swsuow. R.itnn alone was loudlv resent ful. "Gosh," he walled, "here I have to go through life bored by dumb cracks about churchea because of my name and "Never mind," said Jim. slipping from hli overcoat "we'll nave i real nice dinner!" Bessie prom led, tier Hps trembling on the smile that she forced.

Jim Junior slipped an arm around her. It made her Ing to him a moment and sob again. Then ahe hurried to the rear of the ho sr It would steady her to get her hands into cold water and the potatoes were waiting to be pared. It was Mag SAILS FOR ABROAD I Jof, 1 MRS. W.
