NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER xxxIV
Judy struggled with swelling
tears that she would rather die
than shed.
Gideon allowed a moment TO
elapse. Then he said, without look
ing at her:
"All the same. you must admit
/ have had the honor and the good
fortune to give a great dancer To
the world.
That you haven't"
Judy's voice sounded as II her
frail body were about to burst with
rage. The rich man smiled with
tolerance.
You cannot pretend that you
can't dance. That would be rather
too much OF a jokel"
Il don't pretend anything" she
flashed; but I'll tell you one thing
I'm never going 10 dance again.
Not likely-after this!"
It was useless for Gideon TO
argue or plead. Judy was adamant.
She would give up her career as a
dancer rather than owe anything
to him. He had cheated her; he
had behaved like a cad. She would
cancel her contract with Matthew
Tannary and return TO her model
work.
She flung herself out Of Gideon's
apartment, and went at once TO see
Matthew Tannary.
He was a little, dark. bullethead-
ed Scotsman, with an irongray
mustache. He was a man OF few
words and his eyes wree very keen.
but sometimes they twinkled with
fun.
He listened 70 all that she had
to say. Then he kept silent for a
few moments, while he regarded
her with a certain friendly admira-
ton at which even fiery little Judy
could not take offense. What he
finally said was very characteristic.
Il wonder why Wyon couldn't
have kept his counsel betterl"
This made Judy wild with anger.
That's not the point. Mr.. Tan
naryl" she cried. I've been shame
fully deceived, and I won't stand
II! Nothing would have induced me
70 appear at the Monopole II I'd
known that Mr.. Gideon was pay
ing for everything. Nothing would
have induced me 70 sign this con-
tract with you"
Why is that. Miss Grant?"
Don't you see?" she asked I'M
patiently. Il owe all my success to
him. and I just won't have It'll"
"Ye can't throw your success
away" he said dryly.
Il can stop dancing"
Then We mean 70 break your
contract with me?"
"Yes-of course ! do"
"Ye can't do that. Miss Grant.
The law will blind We; and I've
spent a good deal on advertising
We and all that kind Of thing"
"Ill pay you back. I've got plenty
Of money"
1T must be enough. You can't
have spent such an awful lot"
Yen lose me a ton OF money.
Ye were going to set the place on
