RUBY AYRE- © lloettEDAY aeRAu SYNOPSIS Pauline, sentimental, trustful, cere and loving love, becomes en ed and marries Dennis O'Hara in the belief that their blissful happiness will continued unchanged thru all the years, On her wedding morning she awakens with a strange . premonition that 'maybe love does change, a thought, buried in her mind by a let- ter from her closest friend, Barbara, the night before, Pauline adored Barbara who had been married, was the another of a child which died, but now divorced and living a life which some of her friends could not under- stand. Between Dennis and Barbara is a seeming wall of personal dislike by both, Six months after Pauline's wedding, Barbara comes for a short stay, During this visit Barbara can- fesses to Pauline that there is a man she really loves, but re refuses to tell his naive, Barbara decides suddenly of go Monne and Pauline insists Den- nis driver her to the station. Irri- tated Dennis drives recklessly, and they are in a crash. Barbara esacpes injury but Dennis' leg is broken. As he returns to consciousness he learns who the man is that Barbara loves. It's himself, Dennis spend several weeks in the hospital. Barbara returns to stay with Pauline, but one pretext or an- other fails to visit Dennis with Paul- ine at the hospital. Pauline plans highly for Dennis' return home. Barbara stays only one day after Dennis' return from the hospital. Much against his will Dennis finds a new attraction in Barbara, who plays the same cool and attached role as formerly. "I wish you wouldn't always say sin- things like that; it just spoils every gag- thing. Of course, I know you think love doesn't Iast, but--" "It depends whose love," Barbara interrupted. "But why argue? We can only speak of life as we find it. Run along to bed, but dont' tell Den- nis I am leaving early," Pauline re- peated Barbara's words to Dennis and was surprised at the anger in his eyes. "That woman's. always sneering at me," he said angrily. "I'm damned if I'll have it. I'll get up and see her off." His wife looked disappointed. Like all women of her type, she loved to make a fuss of a man; she would have been perfectly happy to keep Dennis bedridden for another month; it would have been bliss tor her to wait on him, But secretly she rather admired Dennis for showing Barbara he was not a mollycoddle, They had just finished. breakfast when Barabara came downstairs. "Oh, good morning, my children!" she said benignly. "Have you got everything packed?' Pauline asked. "I know you're so forgetful. I'll just run up and. look round your room," She clattered a- way upstairs, happily assured that she was doing the right thing and look - IOW GO ON WITH THE STORY `',`That's very unkind. What mis- chief am I in? I've never done you any harm, have I?" "I should never give you the chan- ce," he answered grimly. Barbara laughed, a cool laugh of amusement. Then she moved away from the fire and sat down on the couch. "Well, to -morrow I shall be gone," she said with a little yawn. Dennis fidgeted. "Where are you going?" he asked rather jerkily, "Home—yon must come and see me some day. Get Paulnie to bring you," Barbara said with a fain mock - cry, "if you don't care to come alone. He turned round, looking at her squarely. "Do you imagine that I am afraid of you?" he asked angrily Barbara opened her eyes wide; they looked very dark, like deep pools of ti u a s "ll water. "My dear man, what a q estionl Of course not," "That's fortunate," he said, "be- e use I've never been afraid of a wo- nal n yet, and I'm not likely to begin now." Brave -sounding words! when in his heart he knew that he was more a- fraid. of Barbara Stark that he had ever been of anyone in his life. Barbara left on Friday morning by the first train, "There is no need for anyone to get up and see me off," she told Paul- ine. "If the maid will bring me some toast and a cup of tea—that's all I want. I'm catching the nine some- thing." "It used to be Dennis's train," Pauline said reminiscently, "I know it's wicked of me, but I'm so glad he can't go back to business yet. It will be heavenly to have him all to myself for a little while." "A second honeymoon," Barbara said lightly. "Well, make thet most of it, but not too much of him," Pauline's eyes clouded, satisfied to be alone with ,her as she was with hien, She would have been bewildered if she could have seen in- to his mind - at that moment. Bar- bara gave Dennis the tips of her:'in- gers in farewell. "Good-bye. Get well quickly," she said, and was gone. Dennis went back to, his seat at the breakfast table. He could hear Paul- in's affectionate farewells and adjur- ations to come again soon, Something in hurt badly wanted to get up and go to the window to see the last of her, and something else kept him sitting unwillingly' where he was. Before they turned the cor- ner of the street Barbara leaned out. of the window and looked back at the little house with its shining windows and dainty curtains. Pauline still stood in the doorway, waving her hand, but it was not for her that Bar- bara looked. Jerry Barnet met Barbara in New York, He was a square -shouldered, cheery soul, with a laugh and an absolute gift for making a hash of things. He boasted rather proudly that nothing ever went right with him. "Born tinder an evil star," he would chuckle. "Well, it's ail in the game of life, I suppose, , Awful!" He had failed in business and fail - Barbara gave Dennis the tips of her fingers in farewell. "Good-bye. Get' well quickly," she said and was gone. ing afer her departing guest in the proper fashion. „Yon' said, "Yes!" Barbara did not turn round from the mirror, "I've got to catch the worm, you sea" "Isn't that rather hard on Barnet?" Dennis asked maliciously. "I hear from Pauline that you are lunching with him." "He's not the particular worm I was referring to," Barbara said cool- ly. She turned round now and met his gaze steadily, "You don't look in the least like an invalid, you know. Dennis half rose •from his claair: "Look here—" he began impulsive- ly, then stopped as Pauline, came clattering downstairs again, "You've left a handkerchief anct a pair of bedroom slippers and a comb, said Pauline all in a breath, She primped them down on a chair, "Where's your dressing case, They'll all go in," she said. "And the taxi's at the door. I do wish you weren't going, When shall I see you again? Come down soon, won't yoti, if you can stand such a quiet couple," ' She liked to thinic that she and Dennis had been married for years; she was "sure he was as happy and an early bird, Dennis ed in marriage ,and at the moment !was keeping his head above water and having what he called a "bon time" because his father had recently died and left him a considerable sum of 'money.. "I shall lose it all, you see if I don't," he told Barbara cheerful- ly." "The only hope is for you to take me in hand and look after things a bit," Barbara raised her delicate brows. "My dear man! What would your wife say?" He grinned, "She'd say what she always did, 1 suppose—Jerry, you're a damned fool!' Not so sure she's not right, too." "Thought you were never .coming back," he told her, as they drove a- way in his car. "Gave me an awful turn. when I heard about that smash. Supposin' you'd been killed. Awfull" "So you said in your letter. Rather nice chap, isn't he? Friend of mine Storaway--knows him very well; doc- toned him, didn't he?" "Yes, 1 believe so." "He likes !him -said -he felt rather sorry for him, too." "Sorry for him?" "Yes, unhappy marriage, isn't it? Like the rest of us—eh? Awful!" Bathera paled a little, `lily dear meta" she said calmly. "Dennis Q'•- Hara has only been married six mon- ths, and his wife is a great friend of mine, charmingly pretty and she 0: - dares hint," "Dare say she 'does; it's generally one-sided," Jerry agreed, unabashed, Barbara looked ahead of her down the, busystreet; there was a little smile on her reddened lips—rather a wistful smile, It was, nearly a fortnight later that Pauline wrote that she and Dennis were coming to town. Barbara was breakfasting in bed, with blinds drawn against the bright morning sunshine because her head ached. She had had what she called a flee: - tic time since her return to town late nights, and too many cocktails, and too little sleep. She had dashed off a short note to Pauline thanking her for her hospi- tality and hoping .Dennis was pro- gressing favorable, to which Pauline had replied• at her usual length of four closely written pages. "I adore waiting on him, of course"'. she wrote, with many underlinings, "But, poor darling, he Nates being ill, and he isn't quite a saint over it. Still I don't mind ariything:as long as he gets well." Barbara had not answer- ed. There seemed, nothing to say— besides, -she had been too busy rac- ing about with Jerry Barnet, turning night into day and getting herself talked about. She opened Pauline's second letter with a yawn, but after the first glance she sat up and read intently. Darling Barbara: I have some news for you which I hope you will be pleased to hear, though I am not sure whether I am pleased or not... . Barbara's face hardened, "Going to have a baby, I suppose," she told herself cynically.' With. an effort she turned again to the closely written pages. ' We are coming to New York for a fortnight's holiday. The doctors say Dennis must not go back to business yet. You can imagine how'amazed I was when he suggested coming to town and doing some theatres and things! Can you imagine it? He said he thought New York would do me good. We are coming next Wed- nesday, and are staying at the Alb- icn. It's quiet and not.smart, but it's central, isn't it? and not far from yo'u I hope you are in town, and are not thinking of dashing off anywhere just yet. Dennis has told' me to get some new evening frocks, and gave me quite a big cheque. I shan't spend it till I come to New York, of course,. so that you can go with me. Your taste is so much better than mine. Dennis is much better and walks quite well. I am sure you will think he has made a wonderful 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 fancies." So, of course, there was no more to be said, Any- way, I shall see you -I have such a lot of things to tell you, darling. Barbara laid the letter down and closed her eyes. Somehow she was not at all surprised, Experience` had taught her that people especially men—did the most unexpected things Wednesday! and to -day was Mon- day. Well, she must have a look at her wardrobe and furnish it up a bit. She stretched out a languid hand and rang for Mrs. Mellish-- a quiet -little' widow who looked after the flat, "My bath, please," Barbara said briskly. "Oh, and get Mr. Barnet on the 'phone." She got up and went over to the mirror, jerking up the blind as she went. Sunshine, warm and . beauti- ful, fell an about her, and with sud- den incongruity she wondered why'. on earth Dennis wish to come to New York, (Continued next week) tDaughter; "No, Jack is not rich; in fact he can hardly raise the mon- ey to keep ,going," 1Vtercenary Mother "Then I'd tell. him to keep coming," THE FAMILY NEXT DOOR As Usual Heare's Quick ck .Relic; A 'lot of things can cause a headache or other pain, but. there is one thing that will always' give you relief! Just. take a tablet or two of Aspirin. Your suffering ceases. Relief comes instantly, regardless of what may have been making your head throb with pain, Aspirin is harmless --cannot depress the heart. So there's 'no use waiting for a headache to "wear off," It is useless to endure pain of any kind when you can get Aspirin. It is a blessing to women who suffer regular systemic pain; to men who must work on, in spite of eye -strain, fatigue or neuralgia. ASPIR.IN TRADEMARK REG. IN CANADA A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND. LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA EARACHE Ears are useful if not alwaysor amental. Hearing is essential to t communication of speech. Spee differentiatesmart from the rest creation. If you look into an ear, you see canal which is closed at its far en by a membrane which is known a the drum, of the ear. The drum se urates the canal, or outer ear, fro the middle ear. Beyond the iniddl ear is the inner ear, which is reall part of the brain, for it is in the inne ear that the sense of hearing is lo cated. The middle ear is connected with the . throat by the Eustachian tube which cohtrols the air pressure in the middle ear. The tube is generally closed, but is opened in the act of swallowing. The fluid which is se- creted in the middle ear is drained off, through the tube, into the throat, Earache which is due to inflame - tion of the middle ear generally com- es from the throat and not from an outside cause. Any inflaanation of the nose and throat may spread up the Eustachian tube and set up an in- flammation of the middle ear, result- ing in a severe •earache. The most common of such occurrences is as- sociated with- head colds. When a young child who is suffering from a cold in the head is particularly dis- tressed and cries bitterly, the reason may be that there is`inflammation in the middle ear, Communicable diseases, such as scarlet fever, measles and diphtheria, often give rise to middle ear infec- tion in the same manner. The fre- quent occurrence of earaches suggest some abnormal condition of the nose or throat, such as adenoids ,diseased tonsils and infected sinuses. We stress the importance of ear- ache as a symptom, because prompt tr?atnient of earaches may prevent the spread of the disease to the inner ear, and so eliminate the necessity of anaastoid operation and possibilities of 'a meningitis or brain abcess. s- he ch of a d s p e y r Earache comes from within, -Ob- viously, if the source of the trouble: is in the throat ` or nose, it is not going to be removed by pouring something into the ear. The exter- nal ear may also ache. In children, the external canal may be injured' by the mother who is over -particular in cleaning, her child's ears. Children's ears should not be pulled, or boxed, or poked at; real and serious barna. may result from these practices. .The nose, n%,outh and throat of a child shoed be healthy. The child: should breathe through his nose. The nose should never be compressed ire being cleared, Colds are to be treat- ed as serious conditions. Earaches need, prompt and proper attention if serious conditions ..are to be avoided and hearing preserved.
