 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER XVIII [ A week later Bruce Gideon came 10 Guarvenius' house and found that Judy had just finished her 1es- son for the day.
 T came to find you, Judy" he said, after greeting the maestro. "The big Russian ballet opens to- night and have a box. thought you would like to come"
 "How gorgeous! How kind you hre!" she replied impulsively.
 That's settled, then" He fol- lowed her out into the street. His big car was waiting there. Where are you going?" he asked her.
 ITO MT Stornaway's."
 Stornaway had suddenly asked for her services again. She liked sitting for him better than for any one else, except Max Dickbread, of whom she was really fond, for all his rudeness and his exacting ways.
 Let me drive you." Gideon said.
 For the first time she hesitated. .
 You must be tired and hot and you will catch cold" added the soft voice.
 very kind"
 ., And Judy got into the car.
 She reached home about half- past six, and found Chumny wait ing for her in some excitement.
 "Oh, Judy, how late you are! Do hurry up and dress. Alan has seats for the first night of the Russian ballet-boxesl He's taking us out to dinner first-a real nice dinner at the Malaya!'
 Judy shook her. head.
 ''sorry. darling; I'm booked" Chummy's face fell.
 "oh, Judy, 1t can't be anything 30 important as the Russian bal
 Tt is the Russian ballet. pet. I'm going with MT Gideon"
 "Oh, how unfortunate; Alan will be disappointed. Are you dining
 "No. MT Gideon is calling for me here at 8 o'clock"
 "Then come to dinner at least, Judy."
 Judy could hardly refuse. She dressed quickly. and when Alan came to fetch them she was ready. She had managed to buy herself a new dress of rich red gold, with q hint of bronze in 1t. It matched her hair and subdued the paint on her face--such wonderfully eager lit- tie face!
 The dinner at the Malaya was rather a silent affair. Chummy had explained to Steyne that Judy had already accepted an invitation from Bruce Gideon. Alan made no com- ment.
 Tt,aro x.,e. a .ti.h+ .ast~o,c& ,,r on them. Judy and Alan had not met since the day when he had ventured his ill-timed warning. Chumnny was frankly disappointed and already looked upon the even ing as 6 failure, because 1t had been planned to give Judy pleasure.
 Neither of the girls wanted to eat. Steyne was hungry, having been for @ tramp in the country after several days of unsuccessful effort at the art school. His appe- tite was almost the only topic of conversation. Judy poked about it, and Chummy gently encouraged him to eat. Over the coffee they grew more gay, and Judy forgot the time. She started up at Q quarter to eight.
 My, I shall be latel must get backi"
 Steyne rose, too, and bent and whispered something to Chummy.
 "Yes, that's a splendid ideal" she exclaimed. "Why didn't we think of it before? I'll stay here for a minute or two, Alan and then I'll walk over to the theater. It's only q few steps. It's not worth while my coming all the way back"
 Steyne assented and paid the bill.
