Much against his will Dennis finds a new attraction in Barbara, who plays the same cool and attached role as formerly. A fortnight after Barbara returns to New York, she receives a letter from Pauline that she and Dennis are coming to New York for a little vacation. Upon their arrival a round of gay entertainment gets under way -throwing 'Dennis and Pauline much into each other's company. Dennis is in love with Barbara.

"Come to bed, my dear --I'll get you' something hot to drink." Barbara laughed sobbingly. "I've been a fool, Mellish," she said.: "I've been a silly damned fool.

Barbara fell for- ward on the floor, her face hidden, her hands clenched as she moaned over and over again in utter self- abasement: "I can't --I cant . . to be such a beast—such a vile beast!" And yet in her heart she knew it was not so much for Pauline that she was willing to make her sacrifice. as for the sake of a child she had once. held in her own arms. Such a little life it had been, but it had yet left something indelible in Barbara's heart, some memory which, recurring now, would not'al- lciw her to hurt the child of another woman. * * * Barbara woke from a troubled sleep late in the following morning to the sound of voices in the little hallway outside her door: Mrs. Mel- lish's she knew—the. quiet, unemot- ional tones that . never varied, and then another the only voice that had ever had the power to make her heartbeats quicken and her cheeks flush.

It was like go ng round and round in a circle, Den- s thought savagely when they were acic again in Barbara's flat and she was telling him it wase time to go. He looked at her as she took off her, wrap, and suddenly he' said, "Are you ver going to choose between us all, Barbara?" She turned. "What do you mean?" "I've sent awaythe only man I ever loved". After a long time he whispered: "Do because you are my best friynd and you want me?" She could feel his heart beating against her. "Do 'you want me—as I want you? May I stay?" Barbara closed her,. eyes, and her whole being seemed to clamour just one passionate word in reply, "Yes, yes, yes—" But something -she never knew what it was—kept her from speaking it aloud. "Dennis — if — to-morrow—you still want me-" "To -morrow! To -morrow never comes," he broke in almost violently. "How do we know what may happen before to -morrow? Don't send me away, my dear, I love you so much. Barbara for God's sake—" She dis- engaged herself from his arms. "To -morrow, Dennis if you still want me—I swear—" In the end she sent him away, how she never knew, and when he had gone she stood against the door that shut him out, her eyes closed, utterly exhausted, and the tears raining down her face. She loved him so xnttch, and yet, she had sent him away. Why? Why? God alone knew.

The little green and gold clock on the dressing table which Jerry Bar- net had given to Barbara ticked mer- rily on - the only sound in a world that seemed suddenly to have grown empty and ceased to live, and at last with an effort Barbara picked up the letter that had fallen from her hand 'and went on reading. ' "If it's a boy ." She closed her eyes with a dreadful feeling of weak- ness. Of ,course it wouldbe a boy! a boy witheyes like Dennis's and a smile like Dennis's, like the man they both loved. Oh, Dennis -Dennis! She was so cold; suddenly Barbara realized that her hands were like ice and that she was shivering violently. She slipped out of bcd, leaving the rest of Pauline's letter unread and crouched down by the fire, "There is still to-morrow!"It was as if a voice .had whispered those words into her ear as she crouched by the fire, and suddenly her cheeks flushed and' her pulses quickened.

Mrs. Mellish entered, calm eyes, undisturbed as ever. "Mr. O'Hara.' He says he will wait. I told him you were still sleeping." For a moment she could not ans- wer; and then she said with an effort "Oh, yes:;' "Pll get up. Please get my bath ready." Barbara got out of bed and looked at herself in the glass. She did not look her best in the early morning, and she knew it. "I look old," she thought with .a pang, and hurriedly turned away. Barbara had never dressed so quick- ly before. Why had he come so early? What was he doing now? She looked in the mirror a hundred times, and at last she went to him without paint or powder on her face. Dennis was standing looking down. into the fire, and he had not taken off his overcoat. "You are an early bird," she said. trying to speak lightly, and Dennis turned. "He has heard from Pauline—he knows about Pauline," Barbara told herself, and her hand went to her heart. "I'm sorry to come so early. I ought to have rung up, but I—some how I couldn't. I-" He broke off; then with an effort he ptilled himself together again and said constrained- ly: ". You look tired. Won't you sit down?" Barbara laughed. "Don't you mean 1 look old?" she asked bitterly. "Old!" He did not understand; then, seeing the pain in her face, he said vehemently: "No — good God, no!" Then again the unbearable..si1- ence fell. Barbara took a cigarette from the mantelshelf and lighted it. With a supreme effort she controll- ed her thoughts and turned to him. "I had a letter from Pauline last night." Was that the lead he want- ed? Every pulse in her body seem- ed to stand still awaiting his reply, Dennis said, "Oh, did you?" And then suddenly he plungedforward and' took her hand, "And I had a visit from Barnet," he said, (Continued Next Week) amsoommima MO, i SAY , 1' iVq Mat GOrN' OUT ANY PPAT-latti'tll P D Il When you can't sleep, it's because your nerves won't let you.

ON USING TOBACCO There is an old saying, and a very true one, to the effect that what is one man's meat is another man's poison. This aphorism is most fit- tingly applicable in the case of to- bacco. Just as people differ in their phys- ical make-up and in their mental out- look, so also they may differ in their response to foods, drugs, tobacco and other substances. This latter phen- omenon is spoken of as an idiosyn- cracy. No two persons are exactly alike. One person eats certain foods and digests them readily, while the same foods will cause a disturbance in an- other person. So it is with carbon monoxide, nicotine and certain coal- tar derivatives which are contained in, or are the products of tobacco smoke. Tolerance — the ability to use tobacco without discomfort may be acquired farily quickly in some cases, but more - often, it takes years to make an individual a seas- oned smoker. It is a recognized fact that smok- ing causes a quickening of the pulse and a temporary increase in blood pressure. Digestion is slowed, and it is well-known that smoking destroys the feeling of hunger. The extent to which these andoth- er changes occur vary in different in- dividuals, but in the majority of •cas- es, none of them reach the stage where they may be said to cause concern. ' To those with a varying degree of hyper -sensitiveness or ab- normal conditions of their bodies, the variations and the extent of their oc- currence may be a real problem., To the susceptible individual, over- indulgence in smoking tnay be mani- fested, in many ways. It may be in- dicated by .palpitation and rapid heart -action what is generally known as the "tobacco heart". The increase in blood pressure may give rise to pain in the chest, or contri- bute to dizziness, irritability and in - somnia. ' That period of extreme restless- ness and tossing about, prior to sleeping, of . which,; many people com- plain, can often be placed at the door of excessive smoking. The number" of smokers with coughs bears evi- dence to the irritating effect of ,smok- ing on the respiratory tract ofsome persons. This, if continued, may con- tribute to the occurrence of -more dis- tressing lung conditions. The pleasure which ;smoking. gives, to many people is not to be denied. This pleasure would be enhanced: were the bounds of moderation not. overstepped.
