CHAPTER XXxIII
The supper room was long and
narrow. Half Of 10 was taken up

farther end there was a kind OF al
cove, with a window looking into a
disused timber yard. The window
was curtained with orange and
green. 4.
On a long buffet were spread
sandwiches, pastries and sausage
rolls. Most Of the foreign element
drank syrups with water, but there
were always spirits, vermouth, and
beer for those who wanted them.
When Judy and Dumont entered
there was already q crowd around
the buffet, and all the tables were
full. Dumont piloted her TO the
| alcove, in which were placed some
basket chairs. There was nobody
there at the moment. and the others
made noise enough TO make private
conversation easy.

ed-Oh, Bastien."
Her voice had suddenly fallen to
a whisper. AS he stood over her, she
noticed for the first time that there
was something the matter with her
friend. He was CHASTITY pale; the
dark hair lay on his temples in wet
rings. His eyes had a wild stare.
He swayed TO and fro on his feet,
as he stood there: but he had to
control his voice.
Judy, what were you doing at
Gideon's apartment this afternoon
he asked.

She stopped. and looked at him
with a touch of offense.
"Oh. yes. you were there. I saw
you come out
YES. I was there, Bastien; but

tea with Mr.. Gideon and his sister,
Madame de Toros."

Il was not. Bastien, are you
mad?"

bending over her, with his back TO
the others. You said this man
Wyon owned the Monopole. and he
brought you out as a purely business
proposition. That's a lie. Heb
Gideon's agent-it was Gideon's
money. You lied to us all, pre-

"Bastienl" Judy's face was white
as a sheet. Her eyes stared. full
Of a dreadful fear. "Bastien. you

mad. 1t isn't o Mr.. Wyon-"
But Bastien was beyond con-

shoulder out into the room.
People crowded around them and
ether dancers pushed their way
in from the ballroom. The rumor
had swiftly spread that there was a
scene-by no means an unknown

reckless with drink and the mad
ness OF jealousy. He gripped Judy
by the shoulder all the time.
