 / CHAPTER XVI
 Chummy smiled tenderly at Alan's vehemence in declaiming Judy should not work.
 "still, 1t will be splendid, Alan, if Judy makes a great name as q dancer. Of course. she wonder full"
 T can't sec that it's much good to be gaped at by big vulgar crowds" she answered testify.
 She gazed at him in surprise and he pulled himself together.
 Look here, Ciarissa." he went on in some embarrassment, "you're just as bad. Look how you pinch and scrape and live like Q beggnr, and never let me do anything for you at all. If you come out with me, you always eat the cheapest things, and insist on sitting in the cheapest seats at theaters. I don't think either you or Judy ought to go on living in those dreadful rooms. wish you'd realize that I'm well off. I've more than $6,000 n year, and the little place in Maine"
 Chummy's lovely cheeks giowed.
 "Oh, Alan. I'm pining to see the dear place in Maine! think you're right. It would be lovely if Judy would give. up the idea of dancing and come and live with us when we are married"
 Tt would be q splendid idea," he said: but 1t wouldn't solve the problem now. What we want to do is to prevent Judy from killins herself at the present moment" T know that" Chummy an- swered, her golden-b -brown eyef meeting his in look of quietly ra pturous delight. "I'll do what can, Alan. I'll try to make her come home, to lunch. and make . point of being there myself, or I'll go out with her somewhere. I'll simply force her to allow me to help her, 50 that she needn't work so dreadfuiiy hard."
 Money is no object. you know he said earnestly.
 Chummy shook h0r head. "I believe I'm had liar, Alan I'm afraid she'll know that iti your money; but I'll have a seri. ous talk with her and manage lt somehow. once get on q bit with my work, it'll be easy enough. Pooi little Judy--bhe has to have lots ol dancing shoes and stockings. and things like that. And her whole souls in it. She spends all she car possibly scrape together to SO and watch other dancers"
 That's where we could help Ciariasa." suggested Alan.

How he rebeiled against itl How he loathed the whole decep. ton, and, above all. the tacil avowal that he daily made to thii beautiful and noble-natured sir that he cared for her and wanted her to be his wifel He felt that never had Q man been in such aS intolerabie position. He was tied hand and foot and as m honorable man, he could not cut himself loose. He could gain freedom oni, lby infiicting bitter sororw and erue humiliation on this girl who had waited for years for him to coms back.
 Yes" she assented eagerly, "You might get some seats nov and then. when there's- some reali' good dancing on"
