 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER KY
 Briefly, Guarvenius told Judy that he would be delighted 10 train her He spoke Of money himself, and said that he would take no fee until she was ready and had made her debut. He was as kind as he could be, He said that she showed great promise, but Of course she had ev- erythlng to learn. She must be pre- pared to work very hard and 10 give up everything 70 the demands Of her art.
 She mentioned her livelihood as model. and he answered that al though he would have preferred her 10 do nothing still It was as harm less an occupation as she could fol- low, provided she did not get over- tired. IL would help to preserve the plasticity Of her body. He quite understood her position, He hoped she would take every opportunity Of watching fine dancing.
 At the end he told her. with a little chuckle, that she could not all ways expect such music as she had danced 10 today. Perhaps she did not know that the young man was Gregor Gossteivitsch. Jury was deeply abashed as he pronounced the name Of the greatest living pianist.
 Altogether she was SO over- drought that when all the arrange nents had been made for her first lesson, her little face puckered up like a chiid's, and she burst into tempest Of tears, Guarvenius, fa- miliar with the artistic tempera- n ent, let her cry.
 The famous teacher and the young musician took their leave shortly atterward. Gideon insisted OF Judy drinking q cup of tea.
 You are worn out" he sad. You don't know it, but you were simply immense. You Hill be | di- vine dancer"
 T thought I was very bad she faltered. T was terribly frightened. I though. I had disgusted him.
 He never says much" Gideon re- piled. "He said all sorts of things to me. And, you see, he has taken you on. That is everything"
 They sat in another beautiful room, dark, like the others, and with three or four priceless old masters on the walls. The domi- nant color was q strong blue.
 Judy drank three cups Of tea but she could eat nothing; and as soon as she had finished she rose 10 go.
 Gideon accompanied her 70 the door. As he opened 1t, he was behind her. She felt him draw nearer, and the next moment he had taken her hand and was holding it 10 his lips.
 You little vitch,' he murmured.
 She snatched her hand away as f his kiss had been q poisonous sting.
 Gideon's pale eyes were ugly just for a second as he looked into Judy's red. furious face, and the thin. bad-tempered line Of his mouth was vicious.
 How dare youH" she gasped. How dare you do that? I hate you. I'll never speak 10 lou again"
 She rubbed her hand violently where his lips had touched if. His face cleared, and he smiled at her IT hunbly deprecatory way.
 Tt vas only an act of homage" he said Do believe me. I was carried away by your art"
 Then I don't like if" she said Please understand that I've seen a lot of life, and I know what men mean when they offer girls help Well. I don't want any of your help. I've fixed 1T all up with Mir Whats -his-name"
 T know" said Gideon. more humble still. T beg your pardon. It was unwarrantable. I want you above all things 10 trust me"
 That's not the way to go about it, them"
 'I know And I shall never for give myself if I lose your friend ship. I will never offend again, I
