During the voyage they were much
together. not in dark corners but wag

mers that fought each other, forgetting
to fight the tide that was bearing them
out to sea. Alan was not philander-

him a kiss was the seal on surrender.
But to Alix the game was its own
goal. AS she had always played 1T,
nobody had ever really won anything.
However, 1t did not take her long to
appreciate that in Alan she had an
opponent who was constantly getting
under her guard and making her feel

themselves like the jump of ones heart

Alan's power over women was in

AS Judge Healey, gray-haired but
erect, walked up the avenue his keen
glance fell on Gerry Lansing standing
across the street before an art deal
er's window. Gerry's eyes were fas-
tened on picture that he had long
had in mind for certain nook in the
library of the town house.
1t was the second anniversary of his
wedding, and though it was already
late in the afternoon Gerry had not
yet chosen his gift for Alix. He
turned from the picture with last
long look and a shrug and passed on
to palatial jewelers. farther up the
street.
For many years Judge Healey had
been foster-father to Red Hill In gen.
eral and to Gerry in particular. With
almost womanly intuition he read
what was in Gerry's mind before the
picture and acting on impulse the
judge crossed the street and bought it
While the judge was still in the pic
ture shop Gerry came out of the jew
eler's and started briskly for home.
He had purchased pendant of bril-
liants. extravagant for his purse but
yet saved to good taste by simple
originality in design.
He waited until the dinner hour and
then slipped his gift into Alix' hand
as they walked down the stairs to-
gether. She stopped beneath the hall

She threw her arms around his neck
and kissed him twice. Then she few

OF Mrs. Lansing and the judge. the
sole guests to the little anniversary
dinner. Gerry Strengthened his tie
and followed.
Alix' tongue was rippling-her whole
body was ripplingr-with excitement
and pleasure. She dangled her treas
ure before their eyes. She laid 1t
mirror. The light in her eyes matched
the light in the stones. The judge
took the jewel and laid it in the palm
of his strong hand. 1t looked in dam
ger OF being crushed. "A beautiful
thing. Gerry" he said. "and we'll cho-
sen. Some poet jeweler dreamed that
twining design and set the stones
while the dew was still on the grass"
After dinner the four gathered in
the library, but they We're hardly seat
ed when Alix sprang up. Her glance
had followed Gerry's startled gaze.
He was staring at the coveted picture
he had been looking at in the gallery
that afternoon. 1t hung in the niche
in which his thoughts had placed 1t.
Alix took her stand before 1t. She
glanced inquiringly at the others Mrs.
Lansing nodded at the judge. Alix
turned back to the picture and gravity
stole into her face. Then she faced
the judge with smile.

right place in the heart. Pictures in

"Most satisfactory. But there was a
funny thing there too. They wrote
that while they did not approve Of
Mr.. Wayne's time-saving methods. the
finished work had their absolute ac-
ceptance."
The judge was silent for moment.

Yes, not for our own sake but for
Wayne's."
We'll" said the judge, "I'm going to
give it to you for your sake. When
you stumble across boy than can cut

estimates Of an old hand like Walton,
you bind him to you with long con-
tract at any salary he wants. And
just one thing more: when Alan

thousand dollars you come to me and
I'll pay it"
