CHAPTER 40. FINDING BARBARA

"~No ee AtAOAAOAA AoOCA OlldU Al = mitage aga1n came to the West country. He drove the beautiful Devalet tenderly, because it was one day to be Barbara's; but he drove resourcefully, demanding ev- cry ounce of power and speed, be- cause he was in a hurry.
 He remembered with detachment how he had been in no hurry at all on his first journey down. He had almost dawdled on the road, postponing the moment when he should present himself, the con- ventional weekend guest, at South the- Water, wishing that it was the Upper Mallard Vicarage to which he was going; wishing that he had stayed at home. Not even dimly sensing what havoc was to be made of him by girls upturn- ed face, pearl-clear in the dusk.
 He entered Kings Mallard on this second occasion in the late afternoon and found his way al once to the house where Barbara had had her lodgings. He knew he would not find her there, but he hoped for information.
 Mrs. Lodely had frightened him Mrs. Lodely had complained to him loudly and irrelevantly of the sud- den silence of Barbara. "Slippin' away that party night, without sayin' goodbye.
 And only line since to say the Way End House is sold fur nished and my poor old belong ings stored in some furniture ware house that I'll bet is damp and costin' me I don't know how muchl It's selfish of her, putin me to expense like that. And Mark smilin' to himself whenever I ask him where she is and what she's up tol No use ever tryin' to get scrap of news out of Mark
 Armitage had politely commend ed her patience whilst his own had immediately and entirely de- serted him. He had ordered the Devalet and packed bag and had left London within the hour,

 "No. I've inquired in Toxeter Nothing is known of her at the house she had there and her shop is sold to a comparative stranger
 Armitage reflected. His mind was blankly silent. The Yarn Market lay unanswering under the winter wind. He sighed, re-start- ed the Devalet-and found that he was muttering At Bogey Cove |.
 Barbara there? It seemed non- sensical. He glanced at his watch it was not yet six o'clock, not too late, really, and not too cold for a healthy girl to walk by the seashore. The bay could not be far from here.
 He was there in four minutes, for the stony road of his mem ory had been replaced by very fair paving. There was even park ing place where he could leave the Devalet.
 Do you know if there is lady on the shore?" he asked the man who came to collect the fee.

 "Ill bring her back" Armitage stepped out on to crisp, solid shingle. The moon was young and faint in an uncertain sky. He strode towards a group of rocks that awakened childish memories.
 As he rounded the rocks, he saw her. She was standing with bent head, kicking a hole in the sand with her heel. She was bara- headed and, under the cloud hung ----------------

GARNER BIDS HOUSE
FAREWELL IN TEARS|
Urges Senate Cooperation in
Taking New Duties as
Vice President.

Blinking the tears from his eyes, John
Nance Garner of Texas bade the House
good-by yesterday with Characteristic

ing Il come to cooperate"
Thus did the one-time farm boy and
cowpuncher cease to be Speaker of the
House Of Representatives and become
Vice President Of the United States.
To Garner 1t meant more than just
trading jobs. It meant the severing Of
close contacts and friendships estab-
lished during his 80 years in the House
and the need for establishing new ones
In the Senate.
House FIoer Crowded.
The House floor was crowded to the
last seat when 1t came time for his de-
parture to take the oath Of office as Vice
President. Representative Bulwinkle, q
North Carolina Democrat, had Just pre-
sented q gold watch to the Texan when
Representative Smell Of New York, the
Republican leader, urged Gamer to
yield the chair to Hawley Of Oregon, a
retiring Republican.
Garner did. Smell introduced and the
House adopted unanimously a resolution
thanking ''the Honorable John N. Gar
ner fer the able, impartial manner in
which he presided over the House in the
Seventy second Congress"
Brushing his eyes with the backs OF
his hands and blinking vigorously, the
Texan went back to preside over the
House for the last time
In trembling voice he said: II prob

I'm much obliged to you all. and

With his official escort he went to the
Senate. He went through the usual
routine, and as he took his oath of
Office told his new charges:
This Is my first and possibly may be
my last opportunity to address the
Senate. I am particularly anxious to
ingratiate myself into your favorable
consideration. I come as your
presiding officer to cooperate, to be
helpful to do the best can to help you
conduct the proceedings of the Senate.
Il am happy to be over here; am
happy to meet you all"
That was all But in the gallery his

had told the House good-by.

during the inaugural ceremonies kept
police busy until late last night in an
effort to get them home Most of the
youngsters became separated from those
accompanying them while in the huge
crowd along Pennsylvania avenue.
Although beWildered and worried, the
children found ready friends in the
policemen who cared for them until
they could be returned home to relate
their experiences. The task finally was
completed shortly before midnight.
The majority of the children were
able to give police their names and
addresses. Others were too excited for
a while, but after being assured every
thing was all right, their memories i'm
proved.
Many of the children were taken to
No. l police station, while several went
to No. 8 police station, some to the
Woman's Bureau and others to police
headquarters. The women at the Red
Cross station at the Capitol mothered
several little fellows until they were
turned over to police who began the
work of locating uneasy parents.
