BARBARA SPENS THE EVENING
ALONE.
CHAPTER LXXI.
I did as Mr. Frederick suggested
and ordered the car. At first I
thought I would call for Lorraine or
some other freind, then I decided I
did not care to talk, and would
take my boy. He would chat
ter right along paying no atttention
if I did not answer.
We had gone but a little ways
when I saw sonmeone bowing to me,
motioning at the same time. I told
Thomas to draw up to the curb and
greeted Mr. Rayburn whom I had not
seen for a long time.
“Where have you kept yourself?”
he asked. “I have been to every
blessed affair in the hope of seeing
you. only to be disoppointed. Been
busy with that wonderful house I ex
pect. I hear it is gorgeous.
“Yes, we think it very handsome.
But really it is not the house which
is to blame for my remaining at
home. Mr. Forbes has been away a
great deal lately, and I seldom if
ever go without him.”
“Foolish lady; Does he never go
without you?” A meaning in his
suave voice which I ignored, al
though I felt myself flushing, and to
cover my embarrassment I changed
the subject by saying:
“Can’t I set you down wherever
you are going? Robert and I can
easily make room for you.” My son
was sprawled boy-wise across the
seat.
“Thank you, that will be an unex
pected pleasure. I have an appoint
ment at the club. But don’t let me
spoil your drive, I have half an hour
yet.”
“Then we will go on around the
park before we let you off.” I said
as he took his seat. I had lifted Rob
ert up and put him between us.
“Is Mr. Forbes at home now?” he
asked.
“Yes, came back from the West
last night.”
“His business is porspering, I
hear.”
“Yes—but he works terribly hard.”
I so wanted to add: and what else
have you heard?
“It doesn't pay to push one’s self
too hard. To make money too fast.”
“What do you mean?” I would
draw him out.
“Oh, that one misses a lot. En
joyment, comfort, many things which
mere money do not compensate us
for.”
“What difference if one gets their
enjoyment in work, Mr. Forbes fair
ly eats work.” I gazed intently at
him as I spoke. I would give him
every chance. If he had anpthing to
say about Neil I wanted to hear it —
and deny it.
“Forbes is a wonderful fellow.
Everyone says he is the cleverest
money-maker in town.” I did not
stop to consider or loow for double
meaning in his words. He was prais?
ing Neil, that was enough. I felt
my lips curve in a smile. Even men
recognized his ability. I had been !
silly, foolish, to listen to what Lor- !
raine and those women in the decor- j
ator’s shop had said. Nothing ever ’
could come between me and Neil,
nothing. Ever since I had first met
him he had been all the world to me. j
I should be proud that a man whom
other men thought so unusual loved
me. I was proud. Self condemna
tion had me by the throat. The re- 1
vulsion from doubt and suspicion
left me weak, and trembling. It
gave me almost acute pleasure to
note signs of happiness upon the
faces of the people we passed. Here
was a man, my husband, who was
strenuously fighting his way to the
high places of finance. And because
he didn’t follow the beaten path, but
hewed out a road for himself. I had
been ready to blame him.
"A penny for your thoughts,” Mr.
Rayburn’s voice startled me. I had
forgotten his very existence.
“It is time we turned, Thomas
the University Club please.”
I dropped my whilom companion
then went home. I found a message
from Mr. Frederick.
“If convenient I will call upon you
about eleven to-morrow morning.
I knew he was coming to tell me
what he had done for me. I smiled
to think how needless it was. My
mood again had changed. No one
could make me distrust Neil.
To-morrow Whimsical Thoughts
Keep Barbara Awake.
Catarrhai Deafness Cannot De Curt a
uy local application*, as they cannot reach
'he diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal afnt ss,
tnd that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
r he Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the bicod on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Medicine. Cir*
