JUDITH came nearer, brushing
q. her fingers softly through the
hair above his temple.
Eyes, Of course, she said simply.
'I'll-Tll be glad to meet Tony"
"Oh. you'll love her. Everybody
loves Tony. Never been able to re-
fuse her anything in the world my
self" he unused. Il know I've
spoiled her-but I couldn't help it!
"Well-let's see, if we take the
boat here Saturday we'll be home
Monday morning. Guess that'll give
us time to get scrubbed up and
meet the Paris when it docks
He was smiling brightly. Judith
| felt that not for the world could she
let him know the trepidation and
despair which had settled over her.
She went back to the dressing table
and sat with her back toward him.
Five short days and she was to
stand face to face with Tony
Knight Two days more and they
would turn their backs on this par
adiSe, these islands of turquoise
and gold. The honeymoon-their
beautiful, utterly utterly perfect
honeymoon-would be ended. Ahead
would be New York.
Judith closed her eyes and caught
her hands together as though in
agonized, silent prayer.
r. minute later she turned about
gaiiy TO say to her husband:
Aren't you going to send a reply?"
Knight shook his head mega
lively.
NO" he said. Let her worry
bit. It'll be good for her. Don't
you see I can't give in? Helena
must have been right, of course.
The only time in the world I can
discipline Tony is when she's away
from me. No-I won't answer her!
Again apprehensions-chill and
forbidding-swept over Judith.
She crept closer to her husband.
Arthur" she said softly. Say
you love me"
Knights arm slipped about his
lovely young wife Warm, lingering
kisses touched her forehead, her
golden hair and then swiftly, hotly,
he found her lips. Each of them
in that long, long caress-forgot
about Tony.
MORNING brought the same
Iva bright sunshine, the same zest-
! full breezes and beckoning sports of
preceding days, but somehow every
thing seemed changed.
Judith and Arthur had breakfast
in their rooms, Judith looking rather
/ like a huge chrySanthemum in her
dainty ruffled bed jacket. Arthur
lolled indolently in striped dress
ing gown.
Neither spoke of Tony's message.
Both were thinking of it.
Finally Arthur suggested he
should be dressing and getting over
to Hamilton.
Two or three little errands l
want to take care of, dear. Any
thing 1 can do for you?"
She told him there was nothing
Judith was quite willing to remain
inside while he was absent. She
knew steamer arrangements for
their return were the two or three
little errandS."
After he had gone she dressed
leiSurely, taking particular care with
every detail of her toilet. Judith
had Scorned the attentions of per-
Sonal maid.
She had no intention Of subject
ing herself to such a servants dis
dain. But she had found it was
possible to stretch the process of
dressing from half an hour (at the
same time watching toaSter and
coffee poN to three times that long.
Results easily justified the longer
process.
When Knight returned he found
her in short white linen frock,
white shoes and hose, a colorful silk
scarf about her shoulders. He told
her they would take the boat sail
| ing next morning
It's our last day, Judith he
added, trying to be casually cheer
ful. 1T ought to be the best yet!
What's the program?
She decided on long drive along
one of the interior roads. 1t brought
them back to the hotel late for
lunch, but with good appetites.
After that they changed and went
to the beach for their daily swim.
In the evening instead of dancing
they took one of the white winged
Sailboats and f1oated far down the
harbor. Lights from the town and
remote cottages played about like
firehieS.
Arthur" Judith spoke softly,
'it'S been heavenly"
