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 a picture that he had long
had in mind for a 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 a 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 q pendant of bril-
liants, eXtravagant for his purse but
yet saved to good taste by a 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
light "I can't wait. dear, l simply
can't" She snapped open the case.
"Ohw she gasped. How dear! How
perfectly dear! You old sweetheartv'
She threw her arms around his neck
and kissed him twice. Then she few
away to the drawing room in search
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 rippling-with excitement
and pleasure. She dangled her treas
ure before their eyes. She laid 1t
against her warm neck and ran to
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, sand well 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 were hardly seat
ed when Alix sprang up. Her glance
| had followed Gerry's startled gaze.
He was staring at the coveted picturS
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 it. 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.
"We live" she said, lin Philistine
age. don't we? But I've never let any
Phllistinism drive pictures from their
right place In the heart. Pictures in

BURGLAR Had Paid His Visit.

Some time ago Brown said to
Smith, 81 envy you. You come in

you meet a good burglar l want you
to send him to me. Give him card
to me and tell him ] will pay his car

him and see how criminals differ from
other men,"
Smith promised to send along the
next good specimen of burglar that
came his way and forgot ali about
the matter until some weeks later ne

Good Game to Play on a Train.

Here is an interesting game to play
when we are travelling by train. While
the train stops at a station, all the
players look about and take as much
notice of things as possible. Then. a
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.
er player has mentioned. But as the
game goes on it becomes harder aud
harder to recall something seen which
hasn't already been named The one
who is last able to mention an object
wins the game. Besides being good
sport 1t trains in observation.

Most satisfactory. But there was a
funny thing there too. They wrote
that while they did not approve of

The judge was silent for moment.
You want my advice?"
Yes, not for our own sake but for
Wayne's."

Its sweet little picture. isn't it?''
she said. "But you mustn't touch me,
Alan. 1t can't be good for u.s."
$50 you feel it too" said Alan, and
took his hand from her arm.
During the voyage they were much
together, not in dark corners but wag-
ing their battle in the open-two swim
mers that fought each other, forgetting
to fight the tide that was bearing them
out to sea. Alan was not philander-
er to snatch an unrequited kiss. To
him a kiss was the seal on surrender.
But to Alix the game was its own
goal. AS she had always played it,
nobody had ever really won anything.
However, it 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
things-things that were alarming In
themselves like the jump of ones heart
into the throat or the intoxication that
goes with hot. racing blood.
Alan's power over women was In
voice and words. If he had been hid
eous it would have been the same.
With his tongue he carried Alix away
and gave her that sense of isolation
which lulls a woman into laxity. One
night as they sat side by side, single
great rug across their knees. Alan laid
his hand under cover on hers. A culver
went through Alix' body. Her closed
hand stirred nervously but she did not

''I've told you not to! Please don't.
It's common-this sort of thing"
Alan frightened his grip. "You say
it's common" he said, because you've
never thought it out. Lightning was
common till somebody thought it out.

Alix' hand opened and settled into

she said, we're not on desert island

Alan leaned toward her. But If

For moment Alix looked into his
burning eyes. She felt that there was
fire in her own eyes, too-a fire she
could not altogether control. She dis

The judges face cleared. Didn't he
tell you why he drew Walton's payY
Not a word. Said he'd explain ac-
counts when he got here but that sort
of thing takes a lot of explaining"
well" said the judge, Il can tell
you. Walton's pay went to his widow
through me. I've been doing some
puzzling on this case already. Now
will you tell me how Alan got the
money without drawing on you2"
"Oh. there was plenty Of money ly-
ing around. The job cost ten per cent
less than Walton's estimate. If he'd
come back we'd have hauled him over

the usual reserve for work In mac
cessible regions and then the people

contract time"
The judge unused. "Was the job

ty shoulders have not been trained
up to them. To me, they are mount
ed butterflies in museum, cut flow
ers crowded at the florists. But this
picture and that nook-they have
waited for each other. You see the
picture nesting down for long rest
and it seems a small thing and then
it catches your eye and holds it and
you see that it is a little door that
opens on a 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 ii
was as though the picture had opened
a 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 it. 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. He
wanted to be alone for a moment and
think over this flash of light that had
followed a dark day. For the first time
in a 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 a flying trip abroad,
but with a reservation. The reserya-
ton was that she should join some
party and leave him behind.
Judge Healey heard of this arrange
ment only when 1t was on the point
Of being put into effect. In fact he
was only just in time at 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 a 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
". "She's well chaperoned. It's
big party, you know"
But during the weeks that followed
the Judge saw it 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 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

going to hear something about Alan.
