NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
Julie swung round from the contem-
plation of her pale face beneath the
Trim of the green hat which she had
picl<ed up from the bed to try on.
"No," she said sharply. I'm just
yoing out. Say l am engaged"
very good, Miss"
The door closed quietly behind the
qaid, and BIN said trife maliciously:
"He will think you are afraid of
lin, Julie"
jules cheeks famed.
"Afraid-l"
She made an impetuous rush to the
loor and opened it.
"Wait a moment"
The maid, already halfway across
he little passage, turned.
Tell Mr.. Chittenham I will see him
n five minutes" Julie said and went
Jack to her bedroom.
Chittenham was standing by the
fantel-she1f looking at an impress
ZIONIST photograph of BIN Lennox,
tut he turned at once when the door
pened.
"Hullow Julie greeted him with a
,asual nod. what in the world
rings you here at such an early hour?
I've only just crawled out Of bed my
self"
She spoke rather loudly and de
family, and she deliberately left the
door open behind her.
Chittenham stepped past her and
closed it, then he came back to where
she stood.
This has got to stop, Julie he said
without preamble.
Julie opened her eyes wide.
"Stop?" she echoed blankly. "What
has got to stop1 my getting UP so late,
do you mean? My dear man"
He interrupted ruthlessly.
The whole of this miserable, damn
able play-acting has got to stop.
You're running yourself and me body
and soul. Do you think don't under
stand? do you think I'm such fool
that you can take me in for one minute
by all this-this childishness-?"
Before she could prevent him or
move step from him he caught her
by the shoulders, roughly turning her
round to the morning sunlight which
streamed through the window. Look
at the stuff on your face? You'd
have scorned to use the muck two
months ago. Look at the life you're
leading-when you left my mothers
house last night-or rather early
this morning-you were horribly
drunk"
Julie laughed in his face.
''Delightfully drunk!" she Knocked
him coolly. "But go on, go on! Don't
let me spoil this sou1-saving lecture.
You're mistaken you vocation. You
ought to have been low-church par
son instead of what you area cow
ard and a cheat. E. can just picture
you in a clerical collar, with all the old
tabbies in the congregation"
Julie"
She wrenched herself free of him.
81 object to being called by my
Christian name by you. I hate the
name, anyway. You can keep it for
my estimable cousin--she'll appre-
ciate your cave-man attentions and l
dont-she :"
"She's a braver woman than you
are" Giles said savagely.
Julie shrugged her shoulders.
HAS she made a conquest of you
already? Well, good luck to her, she's
welcome. And if you've only come
here to behave like bully you'd better
go-I've lunch appointment"
with Schoheld?"
"That's my affair"
"If he was a decent fellow he'd stop
your nonsense. He'd never have al
lowed you to do what you did last
night"
"You fatter your sex. All the men
in the world could not stop me from
doing exactly as l please"
They faced one another like deadly
enemies, white and shaken. 1t was
astonishing how suddenly the storm
had arisen.
Chittenham was not conceited man,
but by his own love for Julie he meas
ured her love for him, an unhappy
love that would give neither of them
rest or peace, and could not bring
happiness, and realising this he sud-
denly broke out paSsionately:
