CHAPTER VI—Continued
---9—
Baron smiled "I want intelligent
loyalty and you're not overburdened
with intelligence any more than Caf-
fray was I'm not underestimating
you You've been useful to me in a
number of ways" -
"Thank you" said Loddon almost
bitterly He thought of certain un-
professional things he had done at his
patron's bidding which had in effect
delivered him bound hand and foot to
Baron
That Raton aspired to a United
States senatorship seemed a laudable
enough ambition But that be had a
chance seemed on reflection almost
absurd And yet Baron was not the
kind of man to delude himself Lod-
don voiced his doubts
"McKimber is the party's 'nominee"
he observed "Of course he'll carry
New York city and they say he'll get
more votes up-state than any possible
candidate"
"The party will get the votes not
the man" said Baron
"But McKimber's the party's choice"
Loddon persisted
"It looks that way doesn't it?"
Baron smiled "McKimber'm very
popular"
"You're keeping something hack"
said Loddon
"I always do That's why I get on
That's why I'mgoing to the senate" -
His hands clasped behind him Paul
Baron stood at a window and looked
over the sound Loddon talked but he
did not listen Baron saw himself in
a few years as the greatest money
power in America All his future was
carefully planned He was now en-
gaged in mapping out a present He
appreciated the power of women
politically and knew he must appear
as a home-loving man a man who was
notoriously good to his wife and chil-
dren Fortunately all of them were
attractive physically
He was interrupted by Mrs Baron
She was a handsome dark woman
who had only just discovered that
while she had been living abroad her
husband had become enormously
wealthy She had the sense of a per-
sonal grievance against him highly de-
veloped He could sae she was pre-
pared for battle
"I want a suitable allowance for
myself and the children" she began
"Iwant a banking account and my
own limousine and chauffeur" She
bad thrown down the gage and waited
a little frightened for what was com-
ing Paul had always seemed incom-
prehensible She did not understand
him now When be smiled it might
be she supposed the prelude to some
biting sarcasm
"Certainly" he said "A very good
idea Fortunately Loddon is here
Talk it over with him I am very
willing that you should take your
place in society I only ask that you
will be careful with what people you
fill ray house I'm after big game and
If I rise you'll go up with me Talk 1
It over with Herman" He smiled and
walked slowly from the room 1
And while Marie Baron was passing
an enthralling hour discovering her I
many beeds and her husband was 1
wondering how best to start to beau-
tify Bellington's enormous building 1
some men in Lower Fifth avenue were
discussing his ruin 1
Ma let had returned from Philadel-
phia where he had thrown up his
position Already another laboratory
assistant had taken Bradney's place
The two had yielded to Peter MU-
man's importunities and agreed to re-
main as his guests Nee land Barnes
had not yet come back from Peekskill
He had gone with the avowed inten-
tion of paying Lippsky something off
his account and hurrying back with
some clothes
So that he might escape the ridi-
cule attending a man who reaches his
suburban home in full evening dress
at midday Barnes arranged to come
to his distasteful abode when it was
dusk He wanted to remove his entire

wardrobe from the Lippsky shack and
pay as little of the deferred rent as
possible
In Lippsky's front yard which com-
manded a view of his tenant's en-
trances and exits the aggrieved land-
lord was trying to bring to maturity
depressed looking ‘vegetables His
eyes glistened when he saw who ap-
proached He dropped his spade and
hurried to meet Nee land Barnes
"Was you expecting a lady ?" he de-
manded "Good God no l" Barnes stopped
instantly Had old ghosts arisen to
confound him?
"Has any woman the right to go in
and monkey about with your things?"
"Absolutely nobody" Barnes cried
"Mr Barnes" said Lippsky shrilly
"you are a loafer You sent her in to
get your clothes so you should go
away and leave me without nothing to
hold I got your number and by
golly I got hers I locked her in and
I tell her if she makes a fuss I send
for the police You thought you should
find me out You know this is my
lodge night"
"I didn't know there was a lodge
low enough to admit you" Barnes
said angrily "and I sent nobody here
Send for the police I've had enough
of your d—d insolence"
'Pretending she was a fine lady"
said Lippsky who was growing angry
"Looking at me and my house as
OW
"She Called My House a Pigsty"
though we was dirt She wouldn't
believe you lived here I tell her
right quick you wouldn't even be liv-
ing here If you didn't come over with
rent"
Nee land Barnes removed him silk
hat and mopped his brow
"Igy good ass" be began "what the
devit are you ranting about?"
"I tell her" Lippsky went on unap-
peased "you could go out with your
tine gentleman's clothes on and a
silk bat even and treat me like dirt
I'm a citizen here same as you and
this is an end of you walking over
me with your silk hat and your fifteen
dollar shoes I know the price of
them shoes I tell her to scream all
she likes nobody hears away up here"
"You mean to say you've locked a
strange woman up in my house?"
"It's my house If you pay the
rent you can go in and get your
clothes If you don't you stay out"
Feverishly Lippsky destroyed what-
ever chance of life a row of kohlrabi
might have had Then when he saw
his tenant march toward the shack
he followed
"One of them yellow hairs" he
scolded as he trotted by the tall man's
side "A swell lady who said she
didn't know how you could live in
such a pigsty She called my house a
pigsty Well she's been locked up in
a pigsty since it was my dinner time"
Suddenly Barnes' powerful hand
seized Lippsky
"If you don't give me the key" he
said "I'll twist your arm out of its
socket" Barnes turned the other's
wrist a little
"You shall sleep in the jail for this"
Lippsky - cried when the key was
forced from him
"It will be less verminous than this
place Barnes answered He put his
key in the door and threw it open
He was wholly at a loss to know
whom the invader could be
The noise of the opening awoke
her She was a tall slim girl with
golden hair in a white knitted sports
suit When she saw him she held out
her arms
"Darling daddy!" she cried throw-
ing her arms around his neck
"Nita" he said stroking her hair

"how I have longed for you I But my
dear how is it you are here?"
°I ran away" she confessed "They
said such utterly beastly things about
you I couldn't stand it How well you
look daddy I shall call you my big
brother Nobody will believe you're
ErI3' father Wbat makes you stay in
such a funny place as this?" Sudden-
ly she caught sight of Lippsky "Who
Is that dreadful little creature?"
Lippsky spoke up distinctly
"I own this house and I've come
for the rent If he don't pay he goes
to sleep in the village jail I guess he
don't mind I guess it ain't for the
first time He ain't got no money
You say he's your father" Lippsky
grinned "Well you got the chance
to save your daddy from jail" '
'Dad" she whispered "I hadn't any
idea-it was as bad as this I've only
three dollars left The boat trip took
ell my savings"
"My dear girl" he said easily "the
man is known widely as the village
Idiot Nobody believes him It does
happen that My rent is due By the
way how much is it?"
"Ninety dollars eighty cents"
"I rather thought-it was more" said
Barnes He took out a roll of bills
and paid He was left with seven
dollars Ilis reward came In the relief
the girl showed - -
"It's a fad of mine staying up here"
he admitted "The air is good and
I've been In training ' I shall leave
now I think we'll go to New York
as soon as possible How lovely you
look You have those unforgettable
violet eyes of your mother but you
are taller" The thought that he had
nowhere to take her made him miser-
able but he would not let her see it
It was incomprehensible to him that
the countess of Horsham his late
wife's eldest sister had allowed her
niece to come The countess had al-
ways been his enemy
"It came to a point" the girl said
when they were in a New York-bound
train "when I was asked to drop my
own name and take my mother's Not
that I minded being Nita Fessendon
except that it seemed as though I were
publicly ashamed of you I simply
refused There were awful rows So
I ran away I was twenty-one and
my own mistress I sent all the Jewels
and presents back and started to earn
my living"
"Nita" he tcried with admiration in
his look "how could-you possibly do
what I've always failed in?"
"It wasn't easy at first" she ad-
mitted "but I stuck it out and made
enough money in secretarial work to
come out to my own country second
cabin I tried to find you six months
ago but the silly clubs returned all
your letters"
Neeland Barnes colored "Must
have mislaid the address" he said
"d—d careless of them I shall report
IL" He wondered how she had Tun
him to earth
"When I got- to New York I 'phoned
the Knickerbocker I knew it used to
be your favorite club I told the secre-
tary or whoever it was that I was
your daughter and simply bad to find
you and they told me to call up
later When I did they said you lived
In Peekskill I spent three hours
looking and then that village idiot
locked me in"
She did not tell him that naturally
she had started her search expecting
to find him in one of the better sec-
tions of the charming Hudson-side
city The Lippsky cottage on the out-
skirts had been a dreadful shock But
the search was over and she was
happy She was very proud of him
Her aunt had drawn the picture of a
decrepit vice-ridden physical wreck
Instead he was vigorous clear-skinned
and agile
"Where are we going daddy?" she
demanded after she had passed Sing
Sing's embattled walls
"I'm staying with Peter Milman" he
answered "Lady Horsham may have
mentioned him"
"I remember His wife ran away
and he shut himself up in his house
and went mad"
"That is just what your aunt would
say" be returned '"He did not go
mad He happens to be the best
friend I have and I shall ask him to
let you stay the night there Much
better than a stuffy noisy hotel"
"And tomorrow we'll get a cozy
little fiat I've often wanted to look
over the treetops into Central park"

Egyptians Forbidden Wheat
An authority says that the reason
the Egyptians did not use wheat and
therefore no traces could be found in
their mummified stomachs etc was
because theiv religion prohibited its
use as a food Although they knew of
the grain Instead they used maize
which they Imeaded with their feet
into a bread known as spelt
