Now Go On With The Story
CHAPTER XVI
Chummy smiled tenderly at Alan's
vehemence in declaiming Judy
should not work.
Still, 1t will be splendid, Alan, If
Judy makes a great name as a
dancer. OF course, she's wonder
full"
i can't see that it's much good
to be gaped at BY big. vulgar
crowds" he answered testify.
She gazed at him IN surprise, and
he pulled himself together.
Look here, Clarissa." went on
in some embarrassment, you're
Just as bad. Look how you pinch
and scrape and live like a beggar,
and never let me do anything for
you at all. If you come out with
me. you always eat the cheapest
things. and insist on sitting in the
cheapest seats at theaters. I don't
think either your or Judy ought TO
go on living in those dreadful
rooms. I wish you'd realize that
I'm well off. I've more than $4,000
a year, and the little place in
Maine.
Chummy's lovely cheeks glowed.
"Oh. Alan. I'm pining TO see the
dear place in Maine! I think you're
right. 1t would be lovely II Judy
would give I'D tn idea OF dancing
and come and live with lis when we
are married"
ut would be a splendid idea" he
said. but II wouldn't solve he
problem now. What we want TO
do is to prevent Judy from killing
herself at the present moment"
II know that" Chummy an
swered. her golden : brown eyes
meeting his in a look OF quietly
rapturous delight. I'll do what 1
can. Alan. III try TO make her
come home to lunch. and make 4
point OF being there myself. or TT
go out with her somewhere. I'll
simply force her to allow me TO
help her. so that she needn't work
so dreadfully hard"
Money is no object, you know"
he said earnestly.
Chummv she her head.
Il believe I'm a bad liar. Alan.
I'm afraid she'll know that it's
your money: but Ill have a serious
talk with her and manage ii some
how. Once I get on a bit with my
work, it'll be easy enough. Poor
little Judy-She has TO have lots OF
dancing shoes. and stockings. and
things like that. And her whole
souls In it. She spends all she can
possibly rape together 70 60 and
watch other dancers"
That's where we could help,
Clarissa." suggested Alan.
That we that he was obliged
70 use gave him a fresh pang each
time. How he rebelIed against it,
How he loathed the whole decep-
ton. and, above all, the tacit
avowal that he daily made TO this
beautiful and n0ble-natured girl
that he cared for he- and wanted
her to be his wifel He felt that
never had a man been in such an
intolerable position. Te vas tied
hand and fort, and, as an honor
able man. he could not cut himself

by inflictinr bitter sorrow and
cruel humiliation on this girl who
had waited for years for him 10

Yes. she assented eagerly. You
might get some seats now and then.
