Jarracean Is Better
Theed' knocked' at the deer of Clau

admitted him passed him en te a weed
en -raced maid, wne in turn led him te
Claudlhe'a boudeirr-a lacquer and Jade
.tpuartment against which Claudlne's
orange rust gewn: gleamed ' balefully.
The air ,was heavy with' smoke and the
tcent of orchids. -
"Goedafternoon;" said Theed. "I
have Indulged 1n the luxury of a walk
across tbe park: And tell me, bow Is
thepatientfr' ,
. CTaudine looked at him enigmatically
through the hase. Theed had perched
himself en a nearby' divan before she
answered. -'
VHe's practically' all right. He's
net able te walk or mevemuch, but he
can speak. He Is clear-headed. He Is
asking 'for you;" .
Theed 'a smile vanished m if he had
wiped it from his face. He Gat star
ing. '
"H sent a message te you," con
tinued Claudlne. "I didn't forward It,
of course. It was given te Nina."
Theed recovered his speech.
"What has she te de with him?" he
asked with unwonted sharpness.
"She's his nurse," answered Clau
dlne. V"I get rid of the proper one as
seen as he showed signs of recovery.
"It'a all rliht." she added imea-
tlently. "He' doesn't recognize her
ana even tnen i aent tnina tney ever
actually met."
"At the same time I think It Is a lee
tie unwise," said Theed. He bad re
covered his outward serenity. "I never
approved of having her te help you' with
the card-playing business. That mask
she wears" when she plays people'
tnink it is a uttie. tneatricai and. mere
than a little ridiculous. I assure you
her pose , irritates them particularly
ithat everlasting liqueur. I've heard
mere than one comment te the effect
that It makes the place leek like a
provincial gambling den."
"What about Jarreman?" said Clau
dlne wearily. "What are you going te
de?"
"About Jarreman? Yes, Indeed, a
marvelous recovery. Marvelous, with
your permission, dear lady, I propose
te see mm at once."
Claudlne put out her cigarette viciously.

Theed's nellte ecrplexlty exasneratcd
Claudlne. She raised herself en her
.purple cushions, her hands tearing at
tasseis ana cniDreiaerics.
"Yeu understand me perfectly. Why
waste a geed pose? Yeu realize as well
as I de that nowadays one can't keep
a bale and hearty man a prisoner. As
seen-as he thinks he Is fit te be moved
he'll speak te tbe doctor about it, and
the doctor will speak te me, and what
then?"
"Let us deal with each emergency as
It arises,' said Theed complacently.
"Tbe day te which you allude Is yet
some distance away. Take comfort In
the old adage and never meet trouble
half way."
Before Claudlne could prevent him he
was patting her hand.
Claudlne tore her hand away and,
turning a little, picked up the, receiver
of the house telephone.
"Mr. Theed Is coming upstairs," she
said into It. "I think you'd better
meet him."
"Yeu knew your way up," she
added, and lit another cigarette.
Theed bowed but made no movement
te leave.
"When I called tbe ether day," he
said, "our friend had spoken but little,
and had. net commented en his sur
roundings. Has he done, se since?"
"He asked two days age whether he
were in his wife's house. Nina told
him he was sand added that you had
brought him there. I won't repeat' his
next remark; It might disturb that
clerical atmosphere you're working up
for the sickroom. Itut it decided me
te keep opt of hi way at any rate. I
haven't been near him all the time he's
been here'."
She rose te her feet with one of these
panther movements that made Theed
blink. Tbe bitterness In her tone con
firmed a conclusion te which he had
come some time age. "She tried te link
up with Jarreman again and he re
fused," ran his thoughts. "And new
she hates him."
With a twirl of misty orange, Clau
dlne began te pace the room. As if the
had read Theed's thoughts, she spoke
JtiKt above her breath,
"I hnte Hcnrv 'Jarreman. I hate
htm. I hate him 1"
blie wheeled back te Theed again.
'"I was n feel te acquiesce in this
dilly-dallying, We planned hemetblng
m different. Jarreman was' te .be get
rid of as seen as the girl and Ejtraneck
were well involved and unable te fact
exposure. We could, have get a, grip
en her that nothing would have
shaken." ' '
"I explained te you. thai that sit
uation had been spoiled by. Jarreman
finding' out, Just after the wedding, that,
Nadla wasn't his, daughter, but" Cam
den's,' said Tbeed with a beautiful
patience. "I hinted te you when I
brought .Turreman. here that a new sit
uation had arisen."
"I won't work by hints. I'll de noth neth
Intf 'mere until you crystallize the whole
utatc of nffulrs," ( '
He left Claudlne smoldering en a
heap of cushions, and. began n leisurely
and obese ascent of the stairs. t
