AS Judge Healey, gray-haired but
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 shrug and passed on
to palattal 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 a pendant Of bril-
liants, extravagant for his purse but
yet saved to good taste by q 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

Gerry refused to be dragged SO far
from golf and his club. He stuck dog
gedly to Red Hill till the leaves began
to turn, and then consented to move
back to town.
On their last night at the FRS Mrs.
Lansing, who was complacentiy Aunt
Jane to Waynes and Eltons, enter
tanned Red Hill as a whole to dinner.
With the arrival Of dessert, to Alix'
surprise. Nance said. Port all around,

Lansings. Waynes and Eltons were
heavy drinkers In town, but 1t was a
tradition, as Alix knew, that on Red
Hill they dropped it-all but the old
captain. 1t was as though, amid the
scenes of their childhood, they be-
came children and just as q French
man Of the old school will not light a
cigarette In the presence Of his father,
SO they would not take a drink for
drinks sake on Red Hill.
So Alix looked on interestedly as the
old butler set glasses and started the
port. When 1t had gone the round
Nance stood up, and with her hands
on the tables edge, leaned toward
them all. For Wayne, she was very
fair. AS they looked at her the color

Her eyes were grave and bright with

1t catches your eye and holds X and
you see that 1t Ia 4 little door that
opens on wide world. 1t has slipped
into the room and become part Of
life"
A strange stiffness followed on Alix'
words. To the Judge and to Gerry It
was as though the picture had opened
q window to her mind. Then she
closed the window. "Come, Gerry"
she said. turning. snake your bow
to the judge and bark"
Gerry was excited. though he did
not show 1t. "You have dressed my
thoughts In words / can't equal" he
said and strolied out on to the little
veranda at the back Of the house. He
wanted to be alone for moment and
think over this fash Of light that had
followed dark day. For the first time
In u 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 Alix' plan for 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 1t was Oh the point
OF being put into effect. In fact he
was only just in time mt the steamer
to wave good-by to Alix. Leaning
over the rail, with her high color, moist
red lips and big excited eyes making
play under a golden crown of hair and
over a huge armful of roses, Alix
presented q picture not easily forgot
ten.
The Judge turned to Gerry. "She
ought not to be going without you,
my boy"
"Oh, it's all right" said Gerry light
ly. shes well chaperoned. It's a
big party. you know"
But during the weeks that followed
the judge saw 1t 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
felt a sort Of relief when from far
away Alan Wayne cropped into his af-
fairs and gave him something else to
think about.
When Angus McDale Of McDale and
McDale called without appointment
the judge knew at once that he was
going to hear something about Alan.
Lucky to find you in" pulled Nc
Dale. 1T isn't business exactly or
I'd have 'phoned. l was just passing

"Well, what Is it?" asked the Judge.
Offering his visitor fresh cigar.

'Yes--in way-yes," said the
judge slowly. frowning. what has
Alan done now?"
Its like this" said McDale. "Six

he fell sick. He put Wayne in charge

The judges face cleared. Didn't he
tell you why he drew Waiton's payr'
'Not word Said he'd explain ac-
counts when he got here but that sort
Of thing takes lot Of explaining"
"Well," said the judge, II can tell
you. Walton's pay went to his widow

puzzling on this case already. Now

money without drawing on your

The judge was silent for moment.
"You want my advices"
Yes, not for our own sake but for

"Well." said the Judge. I'm going to

you stumble across bog than can cut

pulled nervously at his cigar. He got
up to take his leave. Judge" he said,

Good Game 10 PLAY on a Train,

Here is an interesting game to play
when we are travelling by train. While
the train stops at station, all the
players look about and take as much
notice of things as possible. Then. .
few minutes after the train has left
the station. we take turns at naming
objects which we saw there. Of
course. at first this is easy. and We
can go round and round again. each
player naming one object which no 9th.
err player has mentioned But al the
game goes on 1t becomes harder and
harder to recall something seen which
hasn't already been named. The onc
who is last able to mention an object
wins the game. Besides being g0ot
sport, it trains In observation
