them. Ladies deluged her WITH re-
quests to dance for charity. Men
or high rank begged her company
at supper; but all 70 no purpose.
Judy had placed herself entirely in
Mr.. Wyon's hands, and his advice
was to keep herself entirely TO her
self.
On n occasion Mr.. wyon rather
astonished her by asking her q per-
sonal question. They were IN his
rooms 10 the theater. and she had
Just shown him a copy OF her con-
tract with Matthew Tannary. He
pronounced 1t TO be most satisfac-
tory.
Then he turned to her with the
smile that always made her think
OF an old lady.
Miss Grant. is Mr.. Bruce Gideon,
the well-known financier, a friend
Of yours? Somebody told me he
was"
do you knox him?" she asked
sharply.
X have met him.-yes."
Il shouldn't really call him .
friend Of mine" Judy said, weigh
ing her words: but he has been
very kind to me. He introduced me
to dear M. G~uarvenius. you know"
"Oh, did he?"
I'm sure I've told you that be-
fore. M. Wyon."
"Oh. yes. Miss Grant, I believe
you did mention It. + understand
Mr.. Gideon Is a very remarkable
man.
"As a matter OF fact" she said
impulsively, Mr.. Gideon wanted to
do just what you've done Tor me,
Mr.. Wyon.'
Indeed
Eyes, but NJ. GuarveniuS offered
% bring me out himself"
When he died. didn't Mr.. Gideon
renew his ofier?"
He might have done 1t. I don't
know. 1 didn't give him the
chance"
why was that, Miss Grant?"
well, YOU see. 1t was somehow
different with him. II wouldn't
different with him. II wouldn't
have been entirely business, like II
Is with you, Mr.. Wyon. 1 can't
explain, but you can do things with
some people and not with others.
Do you know what ! mean?'
L think 1 do. Miss Grant. At
any rate, as ! have often said, !
am only too pleased 70 have been
Of service to YOU. Have you seen
Nj. Giedon lately?" he added casu-
ally.
NO. not for ages-not really since
the first night, when he came be-
hind for q few minutes. I've SO
much to Go and you advised me
not to bother about society"
Quite So. quite SO. Miss Grant,
he replied. But OF course one must
discriminate. Some people may &c
very useful to your career"
Judy laughed
We'll. the next time Mr.. Gideon
asks me 10 dinner I'll accept she
said. You must come, too, MI.
Wycn. and meet him again. BY the
way. I think l might give q little
dinner party myself one Of these
days"
When she had gone, and he knew
that size was safe in her dressing
room. Mr.. Wyon rang UP Bruce
Gideon.
Il have done what you asked me
to- he said. when Gidecn's soft
voice answered. Il brought up your
name IN conversation with the
young lady just now"
"Yes?" asked Gideon eagerly.
"well?"
she has not the slightest suspi-
.cion. / assure you" Mr.. Wy0n went
on. IF she is avoiding YOU. 1t IS not
because Of that. She thoroughly be-
lieves in my business dealings with
her. She told nc about your offer
70 her. and gave me 70 understand
that she looked on II differently
more personally. I suppose.
"And here's A little hint-she said
the next time you asked her to dine
she would accept and 7 must come
too" MIR. wyon laughed ~discreetly.
But I will be conveniently engaged,
or indisposed."
He hung I'D the receiver. with his
characteristic smile on his face.
