derful actress. For the moment she
quite deceived her friend. Judy was
tnunderstruck. She lost the power
OF speech. She left her flowers in
Chummy's hands and went away.
But Judy was not really con-
WINGED.
There's something In thiSlr she
said to herself an hour or 20 later.
What can 1t be? If Chummy didn't
worship the ground he trod on,
then / ought to be in bedlami"
But for the time being, she could
do nothing but wonder.
A few days later she received a
note from Chummy, saying that she
had found a convenient studio and
another room near Bastien's. She
had moved her things. and she was
off TO the seacoast the next day.
From Steyne, Judy heard nothing
at all.
A week later she received a letter
that excited her very much, al
though she little guessed what bear
ing it was destined to have on the
next few months Of her life.
The letter was from a stranger TO
Judy. It was typewriter on plain,
thick note paper, with the address
1T Linden Lane" stamped on it.
She could not make out the sign
ature. She could read Richard ST.,
but Of the last name she could only
decipher the first letter, a w. The
letter read thus:
Dear Madam: Having known the
late Vladimir Gu~arvenius, and being
aware or his interest in your career,
! venture to ask whether you would
be good enough to call on me here
any afternoon between four and six
o'clock. as I have u proposition to
place before you.
Yours respectfully.
Then came the signature that
Judy could not read.
She determined to 60 to Linden
Lane On the very same day. The
name OF her dead master was an
immediate passport to her implicit
confidence. II entirely overcame the
Instructive suspicion that town-bred
people harbor OF all strangers.
She dressed herself in deep black.

the man who had failed her only in
death. and who had taught her
Everything she knew.
She made the journey in a taxi.
and found Linden Lane a broad
and busy thoroughfare which en-
tirely belied It's name. The number
she sought proved to be in q hand
some arcade.
In the hall she met a liveried at
tendant. and showed him the let
ter. He informed her that the writ
