There was no treatment to be pres cribed. It could only be left 10 nature. It was quite possible that Miss Morley might recover her memory, but there were no means known to science which could &C., celerate the process.
 50 you're just where you were" said Dumont, when Judy told him at the Cafe Turc on the same night.
 Yes, except that of course MT. Steyne will take Chummy away now Her colds almost well. She wanted to come with me tonight, but I wls afraid"
 The young artist said nothing.
 CHAPTER "
 Judy saw Steyne the next day She met him at the entrance tc their building, just as she was going out He said he had come to ask whether she and Miss Morley would go to the theater with him that night Judy accested eagerly. "Chummy'll love that. Shes much better. She simply adores the thea ter; shed like to go every night. You1l find that out when you're n.arried'7
 She stopped suddenly. There WIS something eletcric in the atmos- phere She looked up at Steyne and saw that the merry, boyish look had gene from his face. It looked stern, almost hard.
 Miss Grant" he asked. with a kind of bald coldness in his voice, why do you assume that Miss Mor- ley and I are going o be married ."
 Jury was too much taken abaell to speak. To begin with, SteyAe seemed to be angry with her-for what reason she could not possibly imagine. Then the mere idea of his marrying Chummy took her breath away.
 AS she looked at him, she thought lis face grew harder still.
 But she burst out, aren't you and Chummy going to be married ?"
 There is no immediate prospect of it. as you can sec" he answered, speaking in an almost hostile tone, which hurt her. although she did not know why. And when you 4s- sume il in front of other people Dumont. for lnstance-it makes 1t very awkward for me. Moreover, it Is hardly fair o Miss Morley" Not fair 10 Chummy." Judy cried. She was almost inarticula,c. To an outsider she might have ap- ] peared comic in her surprise. "But Chummy loves you with her whole heart and soul, She has loved you all these years. r. is because of yog that she is what she is-bccause you went away and left her, Oh, what can you mcano'

"it is very painful for mo 10 have to say this. but 1 must, or else l should be sail- ing under false colors. l am drea l. . fully sorry about Miss Morley, but you must sec that at present the idea Of marriage in her case is un- thinha ble. And if she recovered, how do you know that she would . have-even feelings Of friendship toward me-"
 Feelings of friendship" repeated Judy "Oh, how can you? If she 1 knew you again. it would be with 4ll her old love-ot course It woul ], l How can you think anything else 9" Tn those circumstances II would be different" Stoyne remarked quiet 1 ly. If as you say I have the mis- fortune 10 he in q way responsible for Miss Norley's present con li- tlon-'
 T say SO" interrupted Judy in dignantly "Evcrybody says so. Ak anybody-BastIen Dumont, Mich3cl Stone. Tony Leigh-any Of them! When you left she broke her poor heart. She had nothing left to live for She just waited for you ;o come back, and you didn't cone Then she fell ill and nearly diel and when she got better she was what she is now. Everybody knar that it was for love Of you" Judy broke of with a sob in her throat.
 Steyne's eyes were fixed on Judy's face beneath her shabby hat-tha' little flower face so lovely despite the i cheap vulgarity Of it's makeup, The single-hearted loyalty blazing in the big purple eyes. the laughing irs trembling over poor ChummN's sor- : ! Ec-- L ..-.
