GETTING EVEN WITH BARNES
By ROBERT MACKAY

Dinner was over The man Of the
lily sprays sat in bis library gazing
ebsently out over the green dlmness OF
the park, amid which arc lights fitted
and CLEANED like big tirefiies. From
the nearby roofgarden VI a big hotel
came the filtered strains OF waltz.
In his apartment was that yelvety
quiet that belongs to dwellings Of high
rents and thick carpets. The coinbina-
ton inspired him to dwell with old

Shortly after the engagement was an

sistent bad luck. His finances were so
impaired that the wedding was indefi-
nitely postponed One day he became

Once or twice Hendy saw Mrs.

and rs quietly withdraw.
Finally, Barnes turned completely
around and faced mis- wife. Iendy saw

IL was averred that 1t was mainly by
his foresight and sagacity that the ere
Gently exploited Industrial pool was

realized that Barnes was a traitor and

lection. The coming bear movement
was the most perfect bit Of destructive
financial machinery that he had de-
signed during his whole career. Barnes
had been heavily hit over ". r., as he
knew. There We're Street rumors about
certain speculations in local transporta-
lion stocks that had further depleted
the Barnes exchequer.
Mr.. Hendy, with grim, satisfied
chuckle, stepped out upon the balcony
to finish his cigar in the quiet OF the
autumn night. From the street came
the quick, sweet laugh of child. The
leaf Of neighboring vine, dead before
its time, wavered toward the listening

like mlsts Of morning. At the end of
three days Hendx was literally penHi-
less. The old cashiers earnings had
gone Barnes declared he had been so
hard hit that he couldn't lend his
friend even hundred dollars.
A week later, Hendy received curt
note from Gertrude's father. II beg
that you will discontinue your visits
to my home," IL said. Enclosed was a
line from Gertrude, indorsing the scnti-
ment. The heartbroken man sought
Barnes, and Barnes unsympathetically
said: ut serves you right"

All this foated across the mirror of
Mr.. Hendy's memory as he sat solitary
in his library. Between whites would
come the eyes Of the child he had seen
in the car, or the eyes of his old sweet
heart, he scarcely knew which, they
were SO alike. But, sometimes, when
the eyes seemed true and trustful, he
thought of them as the eyes Of the
child, looking at him when he gave her
the lilies. When they seemed sad and
reproachful he fancied them to be the
eyes of the woman who would surely
have cause for sadness within the next
week or so, when his wrath should
fall swiftly and surely on her husbafd
and all that was his.
