kept him sitting unwillingly where
he was. Before they turned the corn-

of the window and looked back at the
little house with its shirting windows

stood in the doorway, waving her

Jerry Barnet met Barbara in New
Yoik. He was a square-shouldered,
cheery soul, with a loud laugh and an
absolute gift for making a hash of
things. He boasted rattier proudly
that nothing ever went right tor him.

have been perfectly happy to keep
Dennis bedridden for another month;

wait on him. But secretly she rsther
admired Dennis for showing Bar-

"Oh, good-morning, my children’"

was keeping his head above water
and having what he called a ”bon

died and left hint a considerable sum

see If I don’t," he told Barbara cheer-
fully. "The only hope Is for you to
take me in hand and look after things
a 'bit.”
Bar bar* raised her delicate brows.
“My dear man! What sfbuld.your

He grinned “She’d say whajt she
always did, I suppose—‘Jerry, you’re
a damned fool!’ Not so sure she's
not right, too."

to have a baby, I suppose,” she told
herself cynically, with an effort she
turned again to the closely written
We are coming to New York for
a fortnight’s holiday.' The doctors
say Dennis must t^&t go back tabusl-
ness yet. You can imagine how
amazed I was when he suggested
coming to town and doing some
theatres and things! Can yoil imag-
ine It? He said he thought New
York would do me good. Wk *re
coming next Wednesday, and are
stayiag at the Albion. It’s quiet and
not smart, but it’s central, isn’t it?
and not for from you. I hope you are
in town, and not thinking of dashing
off anywhere just yet. Dennis has
told me to get some new evening
rocks, and gave me quite a big check.
I shan’t spend it till I come to New
York, of course, to that you can go
with me. Your taste is so much bet-
ter than mine. Dennis is much bet-
ter and walks quite weM. I am sure
you will think he has made a wonder-
ful recovery. I asked Dr. Stornaway
if he thought it was the right thing,
for Dennis to go to New York, and
he said, “Let him do what he fan-
cies." So, of course, there was no
more to be said. Anyway, I shall
tee you—‘■I have such a lot of things
to tell yeu, darling. .
