my startled her friend by saving sud denly:
 'I feel so queer, Judy I think something's going to happen to me, It's q horrible feeling. like lot of brass bands playing in my head"
 Judy sought Dumont. He was hel confidant, the one person on whom she could rely. She made him promise to go and see the doc tor and tell 4im all about Chummy
 They met again at the Cafe Turc in the evening.
 We'll" the girl asked breath lessly.
 "O'shane doesn't think anything could be done.' he answered. If she didn't know Steyne at once. he doesn't believe she will ever know him. He says there's no treatma ant that could cure her. He was rathar : decent-for him; tried 10 explain the case to me"
 Judy was in despair.
 Has steyne called again?' D1- ~mont asked.
 No"
 Did he say he would"
 "Yes-I mean, Chummy invited him. Oh. Bastien. that night he was so nice to her, I thought him simply perfect. What can be the natter9 Why doesn't he come? ?'
 Dumont had no answer. In h;s own mind he could think Of several reasons. He had not Judys unshak- able faith in humanJty-which was indeed something 10 marvel al, COL siGering how much she had seen of life.
 Steyne did come q couple Of ev-- nngs later. Ho came laden win fruit and flowers. and 10 Judy he vas like a day in spring. His ab- sence was easily accounted for. He had 70 20 10 Maine on business con- nected with the property his late benefactor had left him
 H. came several times that weet. Chummy was delighted with him iH her placid Take-eycrything -fOr- granted" way. She ordered hin about just as she did Judy; but 10; even his repeated visits struck 2 <. single cord of her lost memory.
 Judy spoke 10 Steyne about tho doctor one night. as ho was leac- lrg. Chummy had not been able t0 go out yet The two stood on the landing Chummys room was r only the pretonse of a sitting room, , because the bed was hidden behind q rjckety screen.
 , Don't sOu think you'd better call in some other doctor?" the girl asl-- ed
 There was a note Of impatienoe . ll her voice. Evidently she was fe l. ing the strain Of this unnatural po- si'jon. Alan Steyno sitting and chot- ting 10 Chummy as f they had just . met and made friends. and Chum- my smiling unaware that her best beloved was by her side-ir was a spectacle that got on Judy's nerves.
 Its taking such q time" she went on. Aren't there better doc tors than O'Shane? Can't something be done 70 make her memory come back and 10 make her know VOL? And shes been feeling queer lately. Shes told me so. oh. do something. [ Mir. Stcyne. r must he dreadful for s you-this waiting. It's driving me l silIy-what mus, it be doing to you?"
 | Alan Steyne did not answer ira- ; medlately. He was looking at Judy. ? AS she gazed at him in her pe~- , pleXity on behalf Of her friend. his ) eyes held hers and she found her self flushing hotly and angrily as P she realized that a that moment = the condition Of poor Chummy vas . far from his mind
 ,; She looked away. furious ani D ashamed at her own embarrass- | mont. Steyne took her hand. l Good night, little guardian" e s said. "Of course I'll he only to1 [ glad 10 get another opinion, but I'll see this man O'Shane first"
 The result was that a famous spe- $ cialist came 10 see Chummy. in con- - sultatlon with the Irish doctor, Hc r did nor give much hope H. said just what Doctor O'Shana had said.
