CHAPTER XXX

Judy crteu TOT LWO uHys, OH dnu off, because Guarvenius had not been there to See her triumph--oi his triumph. as she called 1t. Had he not taught her everything she knew, and had he not been like q father to her?
 Of course, she found herself In q mage of business engagements which at first confused her very much. For instance, Mathew Tan nary, who controlled vast theatri- cal interests all over America, of- fered her three-year contract al what seemed to her an enormous salary. She refused, of course considering herself tied to MT Wyon; but when she told him about 1t, he urged her to accept the offer.
 Even to Judy's ignorance oi business methods this seemed T marvelously generous action. She tried to thank him.
 But, my dear young lady, l am only too glad to have been of ser vice to you" Wyon repeated. My advice to you is to accept Mat thew Tannarys contract. begin ming after Christmas. I wish you every possible success"
 He beamed on her with his rather womanish smile. He seemed actually to want her to accept this contract. She was more thar touched by his kindness.
 Each night her success wal repeated. Tn fact. the enthusiasm of the audience grew greater and greater. The house was packed tt overfIowIng.
 To Judy, it was still very unreal The roar of applause always seemed to come from a very lonf way off She hardly realized that tho audience was shouting at her but her friends praise made hel very happy. Bastien devoured hel performance with his ardent eyei every single night. Tony Leigh ant Michael Stone and all the othel boys thought her wonderful.
 Everybody told her so. Thej drank her health when she went tt tho cafe one monday. They mad' speeches in her honor. Michae Stone recited a poem he had writ ten. They were almost crazy witt delight in her triumph. It was thu most wonderful thing that had eve happened in the lives of any 0 them.
 Strangely enough, little Jud, Grant was an artist in the clas Hic sense. All that G1iarvenius ha, taught her of incessant practic and study and. rigid self -discipiin Hfd early hours she had grnspe, ana made her own, so that 1t wa now second nature.
 Of her emotions Judy was eve spendthrift, but of the energ, necessary for her work, at thi time of her life. she was veritabl Yniser.
 She showed no inclination to en large or improve her style of liv ing. She stayed in her two modest familiar rooms. She did no launch forth into clothes and hats she never took a cab unless It wa 10 go to the theater. She ate an, drank as sparingly as ever. But fo her work, she seemed to be In Nate of suspended animation.
 Thus passed n whole month, an, Judy had refused all Gideon's invi tations, as well as those of variou peopie quite unknown to her wh had suddenly desired her acquaint ance. It rather amused her. The were very smart people. some 0 them. Ladies deluged her with re quests to dance for charity. Me of high rank begged her compan at supper; but all to no purpose Judy had placed berself entirely f Mr Wyon's hand. and his advic was to keep herself entirely to her self.
 on one occasion MT Wyon rathe astonlshed her by asking her n per sonal question. They were in hi rooms at the theater and she ha just shown him copy of her con tract with Matthew Tannary. Fl
