Quite suddenly, one day Gideon

Quite suddenly, one day, Gideon appeared. It was about six weeks later, and Judy was dancing in Ber- gen. Gossteivitsch was leaving the party, he had news of the serious illness of his mother, who lived in Rome. He came in one morning to Judy's sitting room, with his cus- tomary bunch of flowers. and told her that Gideon was with party of yachtsmen who had put into the port for a few hours.
 He has offered to take me across to Hull. mademoiselle." he ex- plained. Tt will be the quickest way for there is no boat until tomorrow. and they are leaving this evening""
 T shall miss you, monsieur" she answered warmly. And I do hope you will find your mother better"
 She did not even mention Gideon, so the pianist returned to the sub ject.
 "Mr. Gideon Hopes you will allow him to see you, mademoiselle."
 She shrugged her shoulders.
 "Oh, all right" she said careless ly. If you would like to arrange it. monsieur"
 When the time came. she found that she had no feeling at all about meeting Gideon. They drove out to the little cafe in the woods. where Judy ordered coffee and the men drank beer. Gideon looked more like late nights and selfindulgence than his eyes off Judy.
 Gossteivitch went in to pay the bill, and Judy and Gideon were left alone in the creeper-clad veranda.
 You are not looking we'll Mir. Punch" the girl said.
 Its your fault" he answered grossly.
 "Oh. la. la. I hear you're to be married, after all.'
 T may"
 "The same lady?"
 "Yes."
 Judy laughed.
 T think you're very wise. And you said you had to pay s2O0,00O to get out of it."
 That was your fault" he said. His voice was sharp with exaspera- ton. And here you are queening it, with Gossteivitsch to make love to you!'
 Really, think you're very coarse" the girl returned fiercely. You judge other men by yourself"
 T shan't marry her now I've seen you again. Judy" Gideon said
 That's ridiculous. You ought to marry her.y
 There's always a, chance"
 There isn't the ghost of one. Mir. Punch-take my word for it.
 He leaned across the table. As much genuine passion as he was ever likely to feel glowed in his eyes.
 Judy, your name will always be written on my heart" he said.
 "Only, MT. Punch-only because you couldn't get mel"
 He pushed back his iron chair. The feet Of it ground on the stone floor and set her teeth on edge. She rose. too. Gossteivitsch came out. They went to the car and headed back to Bergen.
 Just before she started for the theater, a note was brought to her by hand. It had been sent before the yacht sailed. and was from Gideon. He reproached her for her be- havior to him, and said he would be in Paris for her autumn season. He wrote other foolish things, such as man writes whose emotions are out of hand. Judy read them with curling lips.
 But the sting was In the tail all though he wrote the postscript quite 
 By the way, stornaway writes me that your fair-haired friend.
 Miss Morley, and her young man are getting married at last.
 1 wonder if you didn't know. You used to be so much worried about her. Judy refused to dance the Suite Ecossaise" that night. She persisted n her refusal, although they tried 70 persuade her to change her mind. She was so glad that Chummy vas going to be happy. It had all come out right: but she wouldn't lance the Scottish dance that night | She did not dance the Scottish lance, but she danced as she had never danced before.
