"My little wife," answered
Tony. "She has second-sight and
a knowledge of the world that only
the absolutely innocent have.
She's with Judy now, / think-I
know exactly where. If you like,
I'll take YOU"
Ghatterton nodded. He stood
like a man stricken to whom a
great revelation had come, blind
ing him at once with hope and
despair.
So it was that, when the foot
steps sounded outside the little
cottage where Judy and Panchita
were, it was Panchita who vanish
ed and Judy who was left alone.
John Chatterton closed the door
behind him and leaned against it,
STOPPING a little from the low cell
ing.
'T've come to see if there's any
hope" he said. az there's any
kind of a hunting-crop here, you
can-use ii"
Judy watched him it'll rather
wild eyes. He had never Knocked
her before. Even that kiss in the
coppice had only been contempt,
not mockery.
"Hope?" she faltered.
John Chatterton nodded his
head. His brown eyes had a little
warm reddish glow in their depths
from the freight.
"Of forgiveness" he said slow
ly.
The old boyish eagerness was in
his face. Yet his mouth was I'M
steady, and the freight showed
his strong face lined and humble.
Judy moved a step nearer.
ooh, l can't see you to tell if
you mean itw she cried in a
whisper. Don't you see it's
cruel?"
She stumbled, and his arms
caught her, holding her close.

CHAPTER XXXIII.

THE Tagliari, John Chatter
tons new steam yacht,
throbbed slowly into the
blue mirror of San MARITIME bay.
Judy's fingers sought the big
tanned hand that rested on the
rail beside her. She did not
speak when John Chatterton look
ed down at her and their eyes met.
"For you, little girl" John
4 Chatterton said.
Judy pressed close to him. Her
eyes were unfathomable in their
changing tints.
81 think l am frightened" she
whispered.
They had been married for just
a week, she and John Chatterton.
With Tony and Panchita, they had
set out for San MARITIME on their
honeymoon. Off Barcelona they
had passed a small schooner, stag
gering in the blue-green sea under
a snowy pile of canvas, and the
Tagliari had dipped a signal of
greeting ana Don voyage TO MalSle
van Open and her husband on
their new wander-tour. Then, al
most too soon, the misty shape OF
San MARITIME had risen above the
horizon. =
The yacht came to anchor in
the bay. The flag at her mast
head fluttered down and Ezra van
"Opens flag climbed in its place.
"A real top-hole welcome home
this time, Judy" Tony Bucken
ham remarked smiling.
Judy clutched John Chatterton's
arm.
'T'm really frightened" she
said unsteadily. "Not-not pre-
tending. They all look so happy
and as though they meant it. l
think Maisie van Open exagger-
ated little to them about me"

that where cities persist In enforcing
too heavy restrictions on parking
