bdSlltH at tllt SdlS l ut. Ie s II IS waited outside in the cab while Alan went in. He came back not only with Dumont, but with Michael Stone and Tony Leigh, whom Judy greeted with exuberant affection, She affirmed that the champagne had gone to her head, but Chummv declared that she had only drunk one glass, so it was inn possible.
 Judy told them that if Bastien would go and fetch his fiddle she would dance for them at the studio. She said she had never felt so much like dancing in her life. This neces- sitated two cabs. and as another was called, Chummy got cut of the first one and said to Steyne: You go on with Judy and Tony. Michael and I will drive with Bas- ten 10 get his violin, and we'll fol- low you.'
 Steyne seemed to hesitate for a moment; then he got into the cab. | The driver, mistaking the intentions Of the others, drove off at once be- fore Tony Leigh had time to enter the vehicle. Alan leaned out of the window to stop the man, but Leigh gesticulated to the effect that he would follow with the others, so | Judy and Alan were alone. 1 When they reached his abode. he did not touch her hand to help her out In silence they mounted the i stairs. Steyne was breathing heavi- ly. as if with exertlon. Judy stood i like q little statue while he opened the door.

 IL vas still very bare, but it had pleasing color. chiefly blue, in the curtains and the chair covers. There were heaps Of books. The easels were at one end, From the pointed roof hung old brass lamps or chains. The floor was polished and waxed. and only q few small rugs lay on it.

 Would you like 10 see my little garden up on the roof?" he asked.
 Judy shook her head
 Not now, I want to look at thi! please let me! It's so--nice,'
 She eazed around her stcvnr v.nt to table standing agains the wall. near the piano. Lifting napkins. he inspected sandwiche and cakes that were laid out.
 Judy did not speak, Her eve took in everything in the big room She did not need to look at tn figure behlnd her. Once before sh' had stood at the gate of the world garden with Alan. Now she hat lost the key. but the garden va still there.
 Her little face was solemn. Thi room held everything that sh' wanted in the world. II seemed t' her that, gazing on 1T for the frs time. she vas also taking an eterna farewell,
 steyne looked round, took ] te7 steps, and vas by her side.

 Judy. they'll be here in min ute" Alan said breathlessly " must talk to you.
 You want to lecture me agaln Her voice vas SO patently force that it rang through the room lik . some one playing a false note on al instrument. You're still worrie' about poor Mir Punch"
