His laugh rang through the room.
silky but uncertain, suggestive Of
an immense edifice OF pride built
upon a shaky foundation.

He did not reply. A moment later
he was summoned to the telephone.
When he came back to the little
dining room, his sister was draw

casually.
Il don't think 70" he answered
after a seconds hesitation: but If
you and Manuel and the boys want
to come. I shall be delighted"
She eyed him with a knowing
smile as she went out OF the room.
III give you plenty of notice
before we come" she said signifi-
cantly.
He accompanied her to he front
door and saw her into the elevator.
Then he stood looking down after
her with a frown on his heavy
brows and an ominous droop at the
corners Of his ill-natured mouth.
1t happened that a domestic hitch
prevented the Toros family from
starting for Europe on the follow
ing day. They were obliged 10
spend another couple OF nights in
their New York house. though IL
was practically shut up.
On the morning after her lunch
o with her brother, Madame de
Toros was rung UP BY Vin-e-t
Stornaway, who told her that he
had been asked TO send her portrait
to an international exhibition in
Madrid, and he wanted her consent.
II will come and have another
look at it." she told him. The
portrait was still in his studio,
awaiting final touches. I've for
gotten what it looks like. it's
not too ugly, you can send ID TO
Madrid, If you like"
She made an appointment with
him, but was unable to keep IL on
time; but she went, on chance,
about two hours LITER. She found
Stornaway out, and hi studio
tenanted by a little person in rather
startling clothes, whom she az once
recogniztd as the girl she had seen
with her brother.
She was glad Of the opportunity
OF judging Judy Grant for herself.
She smiled with her pleasant self
assurance as she advanced into the
great ro--l.
Judy was a little gaudi.r even
than usual. She were a dress made
Of a Roman silk scarf, with wide
stripes Of turquoise, rose. black,

Begin Here To-Day
Judith Grant, artists model, loves
Alan Steyne, painter, who is also
loved by her roommate. Chummy
Morley, who lost her memory when
Steyne disappeared even years ago
and only regained 1t after he re-
turned. Feeling obligated to Chum-
my. Steyne has asked her to marry
him, although he loves Judith. Ju-
dith Is studying dancing under the
great Guarvenius, and Bruce Gil
deon, rich financier, Is planning to
star her in a musical show. She
overhears Gideon tell Vincent
Stornaway, portrait painter, that
Judy isn't the sort one can marry,
and Steyne warns her against him.
She goes to Stornaway's studio to
pose, and finds Gideon there.
Now 90 on with the story.
CHAPTER XIII
Gideon greeted Judy with his
usual difference. playfully remark
ing that Guarvenius must be a
slave driver. and that she ought to
escape from him now and then.
II am escaping from him. Mr..
Punch" Judy replied. I'm going
TO Paris soon"
This was news TO him. He SEEM
ed pleased. and hoped he might be
there at the same time to show her
the sights. He often ran over TO
Paris. he said.
Stornaway said he would paint
no more that day. and they had tea.
Judy poured 1t. sitting on the
couch with her feet on the white
polar bear. and remembering how
she had sat on IL and overheard the
two men discussing her. She was
sparkling with high spirits. as gay
as a lark. and making the men rock
with her cheap witticisms and
quaint expressions.
Gideon left the house with her.
She allowed him TO walk with her
TO the corner, where she waited
for the bus.
When shall I see you again.
Miss Judy?" he asked. What about
tomorrow? I'm busy all day. but
will you dine with me?'
with pleasure, Mr.. Punch" she
said.
There was something pensive and
almost shy in her smile. but she was
full of inward laughter. She saw
the look in his eyes-the old covet-
Gus look. His lips we're moist as he
smiled. He supposed that she had
felt neglected because he had not
sought her out. and that she would
now be easier to manage. He
thought he had scored the first
point in the game.
Bud Judy knew otherwise.
II was the last week in July. New
York was sweltering in a peculiarly
trying moist heat. The sky seemed
70 be almost over ones head. and to
consist Of several layers Of blankets
stepped IN boiling water. The air was
a grayish yellow. and felt exactly
like the hot room of a Turkish bath.
Bruce Gideon was in town. and
was entertaining his sister at lun-
cheon. She had Just shut up her
house. and was leaving on the fol-
lowing day, with her husband and
two sons. for a European trip The
bows were II and II years old.
Their uncle was devoted TO them.
and II was understood that they
would be heirs If he died unmar-
ried.
Madame de Toros looked quite
cool. She was one OF those people
who. though full of energy. never
hurry.
They had finished luncheons and
Madame de Toros was drinking her
coffee and smoking a thin Russian
cigaret. She had been questioning
her brother about his plans. and
bad learned that he was going to
Vichv for his annual cure. but not
until the middle Of August.
Though he showed his Spanish

had certain foreign traits in his ma
ture. One Of these was the fact that
ne preferred to keep himself In
health by drinking waters and diet
Ing. rather than by INDUCING in any
strenuous form Of sport. For al
that, he was an excellent shot and
a first-rate swordsman, in spite OF
his bulk.
"You will be late for your cure,
my dear Bruce" his sister said, but
you're not looking as If you need 1t
much"
I'm perfectly fit" he answered
~carelessly; but one must so some
where. The last half of September
I shall spend in Venice, as usual.
It's too hot for most of you people.
but for me it's the ideal time OF
the year."
Madame de Toros carefully ex-
tinguished her cigaret. She took q
sip from her liqueur glass, looking
rather hard at her brother with her
bold. humorous, utterly sophisticat-
ed eyes.
Bruce" she said suddenly. who
Is this little girl you are always
about with?"
Gideon did not hesitate in his
reply.
"A little model from Greenwich
Village. my dear Thirza. Does 1t
interest you?"
II am wonde.ln why you take
her to the plc -es you do" she went
on. Il have een you myself sew

why shouldn't ~" he asked with
a low laugh.
1T has not been your habit-that
Is ali. These are places where you
meet your friends. And Manuel
saw you with her in the hotels and
at all the very smart places"
Manuel was Madame de Toro's
husband.
"Well?" asked Gideon. his small
eyes meeting his sisters with an
expression Of amusement.
II was only asking" she said.
Struggling her shoulders.
She and her brcsher had always
been good comrades. She had no
fear OF Offending him.
Miss Grant" he said, e.; a
rather remarkable little person"
Il take 10 she must be. TO interest
you" his sister answered. But re-
markable in what way2"
She is going TO be a dancer.
Guarvenius has taken her up. He
may send her over TO Paris to study
for a WIZ UNI Julia Chassler."
Madame de Toros' smile was a
challenge.
Bruce, you are not thinking Of
marrying her?"
Gideon laughed.

Then why all It's trouble about
her?"
What do mean?"
Mon cher, ! am a woman after

jewels. She looks worked to death"
"She is"
Madame de Toros lit another Gig
aret.

I'VE will leave 10 at that, my
dear Thirza. Miss Grant Is very in
teresting and very difficult"
"Ahi Not easy to manage, you
mean?"
It was Gideon's turn 10 shrug his
shoulders now.
For the ms Mt, she is wrapped
up in her career"
His sister smiled.
