And somehow the life seemed to be ta- ken out of any event at the hall, for Barbara, at least, when she knew that Link didn't care about it, pre- ferred to be somewhere else, All the town knew, now, that Link was in love with Marianne Scott and that his father was furious about it, Amy was absorbed in a quiet yet deep affair with young Ward Duffy, Margaret Mackenzie had been sent east to boarding school. Inez Wil son had gone into professional in. validism and had yague and mysteri- ous disorders, and trained nurses, Inez always looked cheerful and was beautifully dressed, in bed, but she would speak of nothing but blood pressure and aneurisms. One night, when Prof, Atherton TIME TABLES expected to go "Your father will go with them, won't he? He says he has to be there anyway, for some lectures." "I suppose so. We haven't talked about it yet." "Would §0, Barberry Bush? rather flushed, and The girl laughed at her own confusion in not seeing what excited him. "I don't think so. T like my job. And dad would be back in a few weeks, We might rent this place." Now she saw that he was smiling without knowing why, she smiled back, Her beautiful sunburned hand was lying palm upward on the table, and he dropped his own big firm hand upon it. "Ever think about marrying me? he asked, grinning, breathless, with a boy's daring laugh, Barbara laughed too, jerking her hand away and turning red, "I haven't happened to!" There was a hae. "Why not?" the man asked, sud- denly earnest, Another silence, although Barbara, with her head dropped on one side, looked at him deprecatingly; opened her mouth to speak, decided not to, and looked at him amusedly and re. proachfully instead, She again es sayed words, and no words came, "Joke, huh?" he asked, "No Barry darling," she soothed him hastily, putting her hand back into his and dropping her tone to one of affectionate protest. "Only --only you sounded so serious!" she said, Well, T was!" Barry answered. Suddenly, as the strange silence again deepened between them, and Barbara continued to regard him with half-amused and half-frightened eyes, he got up and came around the table and sat down next to her. Holding her chin back like that of an unfriendly child, and laughing a little, she felt herself caught tight against his hreast, and as she buried her face in his shoulder, the better to protect it, felt his kisses on her hair, "I love you, Barberry Bush!" he said. "I love you terribly!" She could not repulse him; it was so wonderful to be loved, to feel his CPR, TIME TABLE, New Schedule taki fF X mm, Sunday, April 0 We est BO om 85 p.m. Daily, Hi pm.

Barry wrote her exquisite poems and little love notes, Barbara would quite cateh up a volume of Shelley or wning, and flash the until she found just the right line or phrase with which to him, when she penciled little requests or replies. Whenever they were alone, he.put his arms about her and kissed her forehead, or the of her shining coppery head, or her brown, shapely, slim nds, It was like a masquerade to both. To Barbara there was great satisfac- tion and happiness in making him happy, in raising his mood to abso- lute ecstasy, as she talked of their married-lifeto-be on the old ranch, and of the days of fame and fortune to come, It gratified her deeply to see her power over him, his agonies when she was critical, his delight when harmony reigned between them.

Presently all the other telephone bells were ringing, spreading the tidings in small-town fashion, and the women everywhere asked each other what on earth the young couple thought they were go- ing to live on--young du Spain's poetry, maybe? ha "I Marianne Scott 't come dn along when she did, Barb'ry Ather- ton might have had Link Mackenzie," the gossips assured one another, And many were the errands made that afternoon in the neighborhood of the Atherton house. But Barbara did not care what they said or what they thought, She and Barry were going down to the hacienda on the coast for a few.days, and meanwhile she was laughing like a mad-woman as she kissed her father and Amy, more full of excite ment and high spirits and nonsense than they had seem her for a long time. The plan had been to start for the ranch at about 2, but it was after 3 o'clock when they piled Barbara's hastily packed suitcases and the box of food that Amy had insisted upon providing into a station motor ear, small, muddy and rattling, and start- ed on their short honeymoon trip, Do You Own Your Own "Take your time." Marry said to the driver, "the roads are bad, It's only twelve miles, but you can't make it much under an hour!" "I don't care how long we take" Barbara assured him comfortably. She was laughing; it was all excit- ing and dramatic and strange. Barry sat with her in the back seat an arm tight about her shoulders. He grinned at her in friendly fashion and she smiled radiantly back. "Like being married to me?" "I think * she said superbly-- "it's grand!" "Gee, I'll bet the whole town's buz- ing!" Barry said boyishly, with re- an. / "Can't you hear them?" A jolt of the car sent her in hope- less laughter against his big, sus taining shoulder, They straightened themselves only to be violently un- seated once more.
