'Oh.' she said in her deep, bell like voice. "Oh, ugly man. Very ugly man! Man just like Punch"
 Gideon wasn't at all rouchy about | his appearance. He was supposed rather 10 glory in it. He saw that Judy tried 10 suppress the gleam of | sheer amusement in her eyes.
 Stornaway gave an embarrassed q smile; but Gideon himself smiled broadly thus distinctly adding to his resemblance to that typical figure of fun. He turned to the other girl.
 Didn't I hear that your name sis Judy, Miss Grant?" he asked. When he smiled, the ilI-nature disappear ed from his face. but it gained in grossness. We only want dog Toby to be complete,' You mustn't mind what Chum- my says" Judy answered. They talked for a few minutes; then | other newcomers came up. Gideon | could see that they were all desper- ately poor In every stitch of Judy's clothing he saw penurious shab- biness.
 The two men took their leave It was still pouring with rain. Present ly they found a cab. Gideon sat silent for a few mo ments; then he expelled a sudden breath.
 What monstrous shame it is," he muttered.
 What is a shame" asked Storna- away
 That that girl should live that life"
 An, so you realize what she

 know how. I only said we were all
 here just the same; so you'll have 1 to prepare her, Judy. You know,
 they say joy doesn't kill" ! "Of course, they say joy doesn [ i kill, said Judy to herself many times, when she awoke during that night. The girls had two rooms at the top of high building in busy 1 thoroughfare not far from the Cafe i Turc. At least, they had one room and box of an attic-which latter was Judy's self chosen portion.
 Chummy had thes room, all the available blankets except one, and
 whatever comforts the other girl
 could procure for her.
 i In many ways Chummy was quit
 rational, and even endowed with
 practical sense. She was a good caterer and could lay out money to the best advantage; but she never asked where the money came from. She accepted her life as it was. She seemed to have lost her memory of the past.
 Her mind had gone back 10 her childhood. She used short words, and was embarrassingly frank and candid in her remarks on people 8 appearance. She never referred 10 her lost lover directly. Sometimes, when they had been at the Cafe Turc together, and Judy said it was time 10 go home, Chummy had said:
 No, I'll wait longer, Judy. I'm
New Britain herald., 1930-07-25

we're there"
 Dumont followed her Chummy and her lover were alone. They were an unconscionab b.e time fetching the cups and the bis cults. When they came back, Steyne had moved nearer to Chummy, and she was looking more like an angel than ever.
 T like this boy" she said, laugh ing with a purring sound. We are going to be great friends"
 They drank beef tea and ate bis cults, and smoked and laughed, and 1 nobody would have known that Judy | had not enough money in her purse 10 buy their food on the morrow. II was ten o'clock before Steyne took his leave. Dumont went with him. Chummy smiled radiantly at Alan and asked him to come again. The other three felt very queer, as # they had spent an hour in an unreal land. Judy dismissed the men win tame as she went back 10 Chummy.
 About ten minutes later Chummv was in bed and asleep. with her flaxen plaits lying like silvery cables on the pillow. Judy shut the door ing on her way to her own roor.. Light, firm footsteps on the stair made her pause, and Steyne ran ID, | slightly breathless. With one hand he took off his hat, with the other he drew something from his over ccat pocket
 T say" he said very rapidly, T do hope you won't mind Miss Graut T mean my coming back; but ! wanted-well. Dumont told me about poor Miss Morley, you know about her condition, and what an angel you've been to her. Of course
 it isn't fair, and as an old friend of hers I want you 10 take this for her, you know, to get her things she wants-nice things to eat, and clothes, and all that. Please do say you're not offended"
 Iit i4VId obL ooIIiF 'n iIh llOtES- Judy flushed crimson. She was 8 regular little Lucifer in her pride, but for Chummy's sake she answ5r- ed with a spasm of gratitude, clutcn- ing at the notes and holding them as if they burned her.
 T mustn't say no, of course. I'm not offended. It's for Chummy, and seeing that you're going to marry her it's only right. Of course, l Know it's been rotten for her heTH. She's not like me or like lots of our little crowd-she's a lady, and all that. I suppose you'll want 10 take her away at once and put her in some nice place until you're married,
 Steyne murmured something more about her goodness to her friend.
 I've done nothing more than any of us would do," Judy answered warmly. We all love ChumnE. We're all Chummys friends-every one of us
 And you are her guardian angel, | Miss Grant"
 "Oh. Lord. not" said Judy in her 1 queer, hoarse voice. You may call me her guardian, if you like, but

rather expecting somebody"
 But that was all. She was very ! sweet-tempered; she lQved the the ater; she was restless If she missed going to the cafe a single day; she had a splendid appetite On the whole, she was easily managed, and she accepted everything that was done for her without question,
 Chummy smiled again. Her ey4s dwelt with complacent vacancy on his face-the face that once was all the world 10 her.
 Handsome boy" she said swe-.- ly. T like you. Very handsome boy"
 The three looked at each Other.
 What are We 10 do?" asked Judy's purple eyes.
 What are We to doo" asked Bastien Dumon't's black eyes.
 What am l to do?" asked Alan Steyne's blue eyes.
 There was nothing to do. Chum- my did not know her lover. To 4-tA Ilt vas b4lAN t IldIllSOIIlt bON one Of the many she met and talked 10 and smiled at every day. Chuln- my loved men and boys; she always said so with her sweet completeness.
 There was silence, Alan Steynos' hard breathing could be heard
 Chummy went on smiling, aud blew her nose again.
 Hes q very handsome boy" sine said And l like him. but 1 don't know him. Judy She looked at the young man and asked incons1- quently: Is it cold out? Won't you-come to the fire and have some beet fea?
 Alan Steyne advanced, and Judy pointed to a broke1-down basket chair, into which he carefully lower cd himself.
 Yes, it is cold he said He had one Of the incest voices Judy had ever heard
 T should love some beef tea. But are you sure you don't remember me, Clarissa? I am Alan. Don't yoI remember, at the Cafe Turc every night? What fun those days verei l was nearly starving--and you painted so beautifully, And we used U walk in Central Park. Surely you must remember, Clarissa ?'
 Not trace of enlightenment came into Chummy's face.
 Did you come to the cafe long ago." she asked. T dare say. I knew such lots Of boys and men at the cafe; but l don't know you, like you. Tell me about yoursa,f while July makes the beef tea. Judy, make the beef tea at once,"
 Judy went out of the room 10 fetch cups from cupboard in her box of an attic, She looked at Du- mont as she passed him. Her eyes spoke plainly:
 He can't make love to her while

 Bah. I don't mean your love sick moonbean." said Gideon.
 Who do you mean?"
 Don't be a fool" the rich man replied impationtly. "Of course. mean the other one"
 "What-Judyo The artist laugh ed. Did she strike you particularly 1 Of course. she's got a lot of go in her but she's only common little cat"
 Inside the Cafe Turc the atmo- sphere grew thicker and thicker. Through the smoky haze the faces of the customers showed like so many blurred. gray smudgcs Each newcomer added to the stream as he shook his garments, Dan's gay voice, singing of blue skies and warm suns and sparkling seas, was a veritable mockery.
 It was getting late. Judy picked up her hat. clapped it on her head. and then rapped on the table with a penny.
 Bastien Dumont the Anglo French artist, saw her. He rose, and he and another man strolled over to her table, His companion sat down beside Chummy and began to talk to her.
 Dumont made sign to Judy. There was something urgent in his lean pieturesqae face. When one looked at him carefully, one saw that he was not quite so young as his warm, rich voice and alert figure led one to suppose. His eyes were both tender and sad as they rested on the girls painted face,
 He drew her over 10 a vacant table in corner.
 "I have news he whispered. T have the most wonderful news for Chummy. but I don't know how 10 break it 10 her What do you think, Judy? I've seen Alan Steyne-he's come back"
 The name was written on Judy's heart in letters of flaming hatred, although she had never seen the man himself. Alan Steyne, Chummys false lover-the deserter, the slayer of Chummy's youth"
 Hes come back" she repeated in a low voice full of urious scorn.
 "Yes-I saw him today, He pull ed up, and we had q chat He asked after all the old gang. II seems that he's been abroad-traveling.
 Did he ask after-her?'
 Judith Vas white with excitement, making her patches Of paint like the cheeks of an oldfashioned Dutch doll
 No" he answered. but I men tioned her. He said he was coming to look us up. l asked hipl to come here tomorrow night. l didn't tell

there's precious little of the angie about me. Ask those that know me"
 The young man smiled and held out his hand. Judy looked . little abashed as she laid hers in it. Good night, little guardian" Alan said. May we meet soonn'
 Judy's hand lay snugly in his close, firm grip. It was only mo- ment but it seemed a very, very long time before he released her and turned and went clattering down the stone stairs.
