 Under other circumstances, Du- mont might have been astorished at steyne's vehemence. As 1t came from Chun1uy's betrothed, and as Bastien knew the enormous debt Of gratitude rhe sirl owed her friend, f seemed natural enough.
 -"You know the world, steync. he went on hurriedly. You know that when a millionaire, a man of 40, takes an interest in q girl Tn Judy's position. there can be no good ir it for her It's all nonsense about his helping her with her dancing, and all that
 You mean that she cant dancer asked Steyne.
 .."Ot course she can dance, That's not the point It's this mans '7- ,Iuence that made Guarvenius take her on. The result is that shes kill ine herself. and one sees nothlHs 0. her. She IS constantly out with this fellow
 "Constantly out with him ." put in stevns with suppressed excite nent
 well. perhaps that's an exagger- ation. Anyhow, she does go out with him 10 lunch and dinner an1 to the play"
 DO you know anything against the man, Dumonto
 Yes. as companion for Judy enough to know that it can't do her any good to be seen about with hlnl. You don't know Judy as l do' stevne," he went on agltated!7, She thinks she knows the world irside out. We'll in q way she does, suppose - worse luck, But shes perfectly innocent where people are concerned. She thinks the best Of. everybody. She never dreams that anyone would take her m. That's what makes 1t so difficult. - 'rUhy don't you speak to her?'

 "Oh I think she thinks q lot of VOL. You see, you're bit different from the rest Of us. She knows you have travelled lot and would look as things blt differently: ana then, Of course, she couldn't think you were iaalous'

T can't help II She brought the brute to the LenoI Grove not long ago, and she dancet with ne and then went off VII him, walking home. He doesn' dance. It will drive me mad if i goes on"
 That means you love Judy. D1 mont" steyne's voice was stlI very quiet.
 "Of course I do' And hopelessly.'
 "I-I am sorry" Alan said, an he hardly knew whether he mean it~or not. At any rate, he could no help liking the young artist for hl candor and for his confidence ! has friend.
 But even f I did not care fo Judy, 1t would be the same" Du mont went on fiercely T coult not bear 10 see any girl mixed u with man like him. Consider Steyne - an immensely rich man and Judy in a way under an ohlr gation to him. It's horrible per fectly horrible! I cant stand th thought Of it. And Judy-JudE- He jumped up and began to pac the room Then, with a great cr fort he calmed Himself and wen on: You see, Steyne. you migh have more influence over her. To wouldn't be carried away by you feelings, as I should"
 It was a grim joke.
