rer CECE ECEX ECETEXY PETIT ca Hui i ES 7 ; g 3 HEL i £ H if | {i in 5 ir 2 INSTALLMENT 7 One August day, in the long vaca- tion, when she and Amy had walked back from the bathing beach, where all Cottonwoed's younger crowd had thered for a dip, and were lunch- ng in the kitchen, Amy told her that arianne had refused to marry Fox Madison, Barbara stood perfectly still at the sink, Fox was a joke; no self-re- specting gir! in her twenties would want to marry this florid, unam- bitious idler past forty," Yet ' Yet, without any one suspecting how he fel t, quietly and unortenta- tiously, on one of these summer days, he had actually asked her, Who else had asked her? Who else was going to ask her? "How do you know, Amy?" "He told ard Duffy, and Ward told me, "And she vefused him." "Oh, of course! She's waiting for Link, It makes me sick to have her get him," Amy said carelessly, "She has lots of attractive points, Am Ad . "Qh. she's fascinating, of course-- she gets them all, Except Ward-- except Ward!" Amy did not say the last words aloud, she merely sang them in her heart, But their truth was the secret of her indifference to Marianne's charm. "I guess she'll get Link," Barbara shserved, hoping to be contradicted, "Oh, he's crazy about her now; any one can see it," Amy answered, Barbara told herself that Amy knew nothing about the matter, Link was constantly in Marianne's company, and that, in Cottonwood, was quite enough to start the rumor, And not for thei first time, nor the tenth, Barbara only waited until the heat of the day somewhat lessened with the coming of the late after- noon, to walk up to the Wilsons' and find out for herself what they were oll doing. She despised herself for going, but she could not keep away. A tall slim girl, with her bright hair almost hidden under her small white hat, she strolled slowly toward a portion "of the 1 the Pe.

Anything would have been better, more diganified than this--to hang about where one was not wanted, THE QSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1928 But then she was wanted; they ak | ponds ways welcomed her most enthusias- tically when she came in. Only this was different from the old iceling, the careless, cheerful im» pulse to go where one wished to go, and say and du what one wished, Marianne's coming had seemed to intensify everything--to make them all self-conscious and strange with one another, Nobody was at the Wilson house; the maid thought they were all over at Mr, Mackenzie's. Barbara walked the long block, under the big trees, and between the old-fashioned gar- dens where flowers made swimming blots of color in the afternoon sun. Inez, Marianne, Link, Margaret, and Harry Poett were in the dark, handsome library, among the musty shadows and the odorous leather bindings; they said it was coolgm in there than anywhere out of d&Wrs. Barbara protested that it was not so hot, now. She, Amy and Ward were going to walk down for a swim, be- | Lou ore supper. Nothing senshtional going on in the library. Yet Barbara sensed change, sensed import under the smooth-running surface of the com- monplace scene. Marianne, always the center of every group, was extended comforts ably on a chaise longue, hert slim legs and crossed ankles in full view, a cigarette in her fingers, her lazy, mischievous glance moving from one face to ae in turn, She spoke little, and Barbara noted that Link, sunk into a wicker chair' near by, spoke less, Harry was teasing young Margaret, and Inez was making her usual unfortunate effort ta lend sprightliness to the conversation. Link was charming in his own home, and Barbara found herself re- alizing, as if for the first time, that this splendid place, this big brick mansion, with its shuttered bay win» dows and big curved central stair. way, would be his some day; barns and stables, flowers and arbors, fruit trees and horses, Link's wife, whoever she might be, would be mistress here. What a role for a girl to filll What a sunny life with this man for a companion, and this friendly town for a background! Link asked her to help him, when refreshments were in order, and Bar- bara went with him into the clean big Jantty that smelled of scrubbed wood and cheese and apples and they got out bottles of ginger ale, glasses and cheese crackers, together, The maids were out, it being Thursday afternoon; Barbara saw a supper of cold meat, salad and cake neatly arranged for Margaret's cone venience in the ice box. Sunshine slanted redly across the orderly, spacious kitchen, checked glass-tow- els were hanging neatly on hinged poles, two moss roses were in a glass on the spotless sink, Outside the screen door, watching them wistfully, lay Link's big Airedale, "Hello, Goh!" Link greeted him.

It had come, It had come. No more uneasy speculation and vague jealousy and restless analysis now, The world plunged, for Barbara, resettled on its axis, but never to be the same, e impossible had hap- pened, the unbearable must be borne, "You are sorry?" Link rather ac- fused her than asked her, reading her 00K, "Oh, no--T'm, glad, of course!" she faltered bravely, He dropped his hands from her shoulders and walked to the window, and she followed him there, They stood together, looking out unseeing at the dooryard and the laden goose- berry and eurrant bushes and the rinsed milk bottles neatly inverted on a vine-wrapped picket fence, "I've got it awfully hard!" Link said Rresently, with a gruff, embar, rassed hoyish laugh, | . The girl sent him a quick oblique lance, in a low voice, her face red: ening. "She likes you a lot, Barberry Bush," the man said awkwardly, "I'm glad!" Her tone was lifeless; she felt oddly numb, What was the secret--why was she out of this, Why didn't he why, hadn't he made her understand? hy wasn't it of Barbara Atherton that he was telling some other girl this? - Jealousy caught her in sharp teeth and shook her, It was all Marianne --all for Marianne! It wasn't fair, "I guess it's the first time, with me," Link was saying, in a happily shamed and shaken voice he tried to make laughing, "She's got me! love her so! I want her so," "Good luck to you, dear," Barbara said solemnly. And as she raised her innocent, troubled face, and her luminous eyes to his, he stooped quite simply and kissed her, "Welll" ejaculated Harry Poett from the hall doorway, in joyous ap reciation, "Really, Link--real arbara--" "Oh, you shut 4 and mind your own business!"

Barbara saw Link's answering glance, she saw his big hands tremble @s he opened and poured the drinks, Marianne's power over him seemed to radiate from her like a visible aura; she had only to speak and her accents dominated the room; even when she lay still, sipping her ginger ale, and watching them all with her bright, quick eyes, they were all conscious supremely and primarily of er, When Link crossed the side garden in the summer evenings and went up the Wilson's drive, Barbara wondered when he took Marianne for walks under the big, moon-washed trees and loitered with her by a paddock gate or when they two murmured an murmured on the side poreh, ev into She ight, did Marianne let er Barbara had not wanted him to kiss her, just a few months ao.

"People cure themselves of the drink habit and of the drug habit," Barbara told herself sternly, walking home alone to join Amy and Barry and Ward for a late dip in the sea.

Dec. 1.--William Murrell, under sentence to be hang- ed on December 17, and Sheriff b. M. Graham, who must hang the prisoner if no one else is available, both approach the last three weeks with trepidation. Hangman Arthur Ellis, the only man in Canada who follows hang- ing as a business, will be in Van- couver, Therefore, according to his notification to Sheriff Graham, he will be unable to accept the sher- iff"s retainer here, Just what can be done about it is a matter of grave concern at the court house. The law holds that the sheriff personally is responsible for carrying out the death sentence. The hangman has no official status and no official appoint- ment. He merely makes his services available to needy sheriffs and the Department of Justice keeps sheriffs apprised of where he may be found. The hope of Sheriff Graham and all his staff lies in the proceedings from which Murrell likewise hopes for relief, The Minister of Justice may extend the time till Ellis comes, but the greater hope of Murrell is that the recommendation of the trial jury for mercy will be accorded.
