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 We're fas-
tened on n picture that he hid long
had in mind for certain nook in the
library OF the town house.
II was the second anniversary OF his
wedding. and though 1t was already
late In the afternoon Gerry mad not
yet chosen his gift for AK. He
turned from the picture with a last
long look and shrug and passed on
to palatial jewelers. farther up the
street
For many years Judge Heaey 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 Allx' hand
as they walked down the stairs to-
gether. She stopped beneath the hell
light IL can't wait, dear, | simply
can't" She snapped open the case.
"Ohw she gasped How dear! How
perfectly dear! You old sweetheart
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.
AK tongue was rippllng-her whole
body was rippllng-with excitement
and pleasure. She dangled her treas
ure before their eyes. She Laid 1t
against her warm neck and ran &C. a

the light in the stones. The jsidge
took the jewel and laid II in the palm
of his strong hand Ii looked In dan

thing, Gerry" he said land well cho-
sen. Some poet jewelcr dreamed that
twining design auS set the stones
while the dew was still on the grass.
After dinner the four gathered In
the library. but they were hardly seat
ed when Abx sprang up. Her glance
had followed Gerrys startled gaze.
He was staring ut the coveted picture
he had been looking at in the gallery
! that afternoon. II hung IN the niche
In which his thoughts had placed 1t.
Alix took her stand before II. She
glanced inquiringly at the others. Mrs.

"Yes, II was" said McDale bluntiy.
"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 a moment.
"You want my advice?"
Eyes, not for our own sake but for
Wayne's."
We'll" said the Judge, I'm going to
give IL to you for your sake. When

tract at any salary he wants. And
just one thing more: when Alan

I'll pay It,"

pulled nervously at his cigar. He got

Ii catches your eye and holds 1t and
you see that ii is a little door that

A strange stiffness followed on Alix'
words. To the judge and TO Gerry II
was as though the picture had opened
n window TO her mind. Then she
closed the window. "Come. Gerry,
she said, turning. MAKE your bow
to the judge and bark"
Gerry was excited. though he did
not show II. "You have dressed my
thoughts In words l can't equal" he
said and strolled out on to the little
veranda at the back Of the house lie
wanted to be anne for a moment and
think over this flash OF light that had
followed a dark day. For the first time
in long while Alix had revealed her
self. He did not begrudge the judge
his triumph. He knew instinctively
that coming from him instead OF from
the judge the picture would not have
struck that intimate spark.
The next day Gerry gave his consent
TO Allx' plan for n flying trip abroad,
but with a reservation. The reserva-
ton was that she should join some
party and leave him behind.
Judge Healey heard OF this arrange
ment only when II was on the point
OF being put into effect. In fact lie

The Judge turned TO Gerry. 'She
ought not to be going without you,
my boy"
"Oh. it's all right" said Gerry light
ly. "She's well chaperoned. It's a
big party, you know"
But during the weeks that followed
the Judge saw IL was not all right
Gerry had less and less time for golf
and more and more for whiskys and
sodas. The judge was troubled and
