house by the name of 'parlour. "
Here Burk had lived since the
marriage of his sister, with a
housekeeper, Mrs. Maxon, to look
after his comfort.
Today Barbara settled with a
sigh of genuine enjoyment into
one of the beautiful Shabby
chairs. She reflected that these
pilgrimages to her brothers shad-
owy parlour were becoming in
creasingly necessary. She could
always be sure of coming away
comforted. little more confident,
and a little better able to go on
with her not-too-easy life.
Burk thought. "She's not really
pretty, but dog-gone it. there's
not a more attractive girl any
whereof Perfect in the minutest
detail of grooming, Barbara's
lack of real beauty was forgotten
in contemplation of the ensem-
bled loneliness, so that even willy,
fastidious Whit Lacey had been
drawn to her side.
By contrast, Burk's was an air
of carefree Indifference. Yet the
resemblance between the two was
marked. The same dark eyes with
snap and sparkle, the same
straight nose and unyielding chin
But Burk possessed naturally that
which Barbara had had to work
desperately for - an attractive
ness that made him noticed in
any company.
Burk knew quite we'll that his
sisters life as Whitney Lacey's
second wife was far from happy,

Burk was in the same class as
the man who moved her lawn. II
made no difference to her that he
had learned the most scientific
methods of farming at the Uni
versity. that he had written e
book which was expected to be
adopted as a textbook and that
his tobacco brought fabulous
prices on the Lexington loose-lea1

"A troubled, Barbara Lacey went
to see her brother, Burk Angus.
She found him in his garden. di-
recting the activities of several
negro workmen. .f .l.:
Hello, Burk!' she called. "Are
you forever picking bugs off
things?" 4ai +
The man bending above the
thrifty potato vines raised a smil-
ing, hot face at the sound and
surveyed the cool-looking femi-
nine creature leaning on his gar
den gate.
"The chatelaine of Rose1ands,
herself" he shouted, unbending
himself in somewhat the manner
of telescope and coming toward
his sister. you surely wouldn't
want your Spuds served with the
bugs on 'emi"
Barbara laughed. "Bless your
heart, l don't want 'em served at
all! Too hard on the girlish fig

of eternally grubbing!"
He mopped the perspiration
from his face and neck. looking
down the long, neat rows of vege-
tables with evident satisfaction
Because Wrest living from

When Burk had come back
from Europe several months be-
fore with an impressive number
of flying missions to his credit
and what he was pleased to term
"some kind of a bug in my in

him to remain in service, his sis
