 CHAPTER XXI
 No. Bastien--he would hate H. Ii would be painful to him. We fry to forget all that--he and l. And I must know. Think, Bastien. how 1t would affect you if you thought you had behaved In some strange way that you don't remem- Der! Please tell me the truth"
 He was caught, and could not wiggle out. He told her about that first meeting. when she had not recognized Alan when he was brought up to her room. He sketched the whole episode In very light cOlors; but her swift questions brought the reluctant admission that she had several times dlned and gone to the play with Alan before the day on which she had first understood that he had come back.
 She took 1t very naturally, smil- ing, and looking across to the table where Alan sat in a cloud of smoke. His delightful, voice rang out, little raised in argument. He was evidently getting the better of his adversary, who was growing excit- cd and almost incohcrent.
 How very curious!" she said to I,astien, "Of course you can sec Alan wouldn't like to speak Of It. or Judy, either. Thanks for telling me. Bastien. | shall never men, ton 1t; but I had to know. The brain can play pranks, cant It! Fancy my being with Alan and not Knowing him."
 Chummy'y manner quite deceived the young artist. He thought she took 1t as matter of course, whereas in reality she was trem. bling with @ great fear and great horror.
 She had been with her beloved in the flesh, and she had not known him! She had talked with him. grasped his hand, eaten at the same table, looked Into his eyes and not known him! She had re- garded him as n new friend "a very pleasant one, Bastien had suggested; but her heart had not beaten out the glad news to her that it was Alan--that he had come back!
 If gave her q new outlook and h new insight. She realized that she ba1N beon out of her senses. All clso might nave seemed dim and ncbulous, but that she should not have known Alan! LOSS of mem = ory, they had called it--1oss Of memory; but 1t must be something more, something much worse, dangerous! Who knew that 1t might not happen again?
 Very soon afterward Alan came over, laughing good-temperedly over his wordy victory. They wont out. Chummy answered BaB- ticn's nervous hnnd grip with n cordial clasp; and her smile quite reangured him that he had done no harm
 Judy and Clara Jenks came out of 0uarvenius' house together. It was q very hot afternoon. Summer had suddenly descended on the land. The asphalt streets were sort. the reek of gas smoke was nau- scous, and every city sound was in- tensified n hundredfold; and yet It was only tho beginning of spring.
 Clara JenkS was there because Guaryenius had been kind enough through Judy, to make her free to ,ise his big rooms for practice. Her part in tho thcater duologue re- auired some acrobatic and gym nnstic dancing and she had evolved some screnmlngly funny steps.
 She was almost trnnBf0rmed being, these days. Prosperity spells smail-natured folk. but 1t makes big-natured ones bigger still. Clara was blossOmipg. Her blunt face. humorous eyes. and mouse-brown hair would never be beautiful. but she was not nearly Ho plain ns she had been q few weeks ngo.
 As they turned into one of the busy streets. the traffic held up n large limousine in which sat man and Q woman. The man was hand some, well past his youth. with linca fin his bronzcd face that told of hard living. He had grizzlcd
