can tell the boys that I'm not going

Judy, you always said you would
never marry until you fell in love.
Aren't you ever going to fall In
love?"
"Oh, Bastienl"
She heaved a deep sigh, although
she laughed. too. He saw the sad
ness In her eyes. and he wondered
and wondered, having no inkling
Of the truth.
"Bastien." she went on, "Chum-
my hasn't been near me since she
first came-that was four days ago.
What has become Of her? DO you
think they've been married."
"Oh, Judy, we should have heard"
he replied.

in her voice. AS ne said goodby,
she took of his hands and laid

INJURED. You're such O pail"
Dummont thought II strange that
he had not seen either Chummy or
Steyne at the Cafe Turc for several
nights. Perhaps they had gone off
and been married without saying
anything. They couldn't have made
much Of a festivity OF il. anyhow
with Judy laid up.
He thought he would look in al
Chummy's studio on his way back.
IL was then about half past six.
The day had been one Of melting
heat, and the atmosphere was dark
and threatening. It felt like q
storm. A few heavy raindrops fell
as Bastien reached Chummy's build
ing. He hoped it waS not the break
up Of those wonderful, golden days.
Not a sound was 10 be heard IN
the building. Dumont reached her
floor and knocked at her door.
There was no response. He knocked
again with the same results.
He tried the door, then, and
found that 1t was not locked: 50
he went in.
Chummy's place was rather dark
al all times. There was a little dark
lobby that led into the studio, where,
OF course. it vas light. but a curtain
shut off the entrance. Leading out
Of the lobby on the right was a dark
passage that led into the tiny gall
lery where Chummy's cooking was
done. Her bedroom was on the
other side of the studio.
The storm made Il even darker
this evening. Dumont stumbled
against a tall oil Jar that was
meant to hold umbrellas. He called
out Chummy's name, but there was
no reply.
Just As he was going out, he
smelled gas, the odor was strong. He
thought Chummy must have gone
out and left a burner on. He had
better look into her gallery: so he
went along the little passage and
opened the door Of the tiny kitchen.
Here the fumes OF gas were al
most ovsrpovering. He dared not
light a match. so he CROPPED his way
forward. as the little place was al
most dark.
He gave a cry a. he nearly fell
over something soft. Bending. he
found that it was Chummy, quite
unconscious. her fair head lying al
most in the gas oven, the door Of
which was open. He began TO choke
and splutter, as he felt for the gas
burners and found them all turned
full on. When ne had turned them
off. he picked up Chummy and
carried her into the studio.
He opened all the windows, top
