 NOW COON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER XIV
 Judy was there quarter of an hour before the time. She had purpose, and, in her dramatic way, she dressed for 1t. She put on her oldest clothes. She paid no attention to her face, which was. as usual, violently made up. like a caricature.
 She was wrought up to such a pitch of excitement that when she was shown into Gideon's great salon she. did not recognize 1t as perhaps the most beautiful room in New York.
 It did the millionaire credit that he showed not the slightest sur- prise at her appearance. He asked her to sit down, and she did so, on an old English day bed, with cushion of dull gold. She was pull inz off her gloves and then put ting them on again. She was frightfully nervous as she looked into his pale, heavy face.
 II wanted to see you first, MT Gideon" she said hurriedly. T am willing to take this game up, but only if you'll let me keep my self while I'm learning to dance. I can manage that ali right. I can't live on you. l expect if this gen. tieman really thinks am good. he'll be willing to walt for his fees until I'm ready; so that wouldn't coat anything. can't take any thing from you while I'm learning. I'd rather give the idea up alto- gether."
 Gideon answered snavely. I've been thinking that over myself. I quite understand. You are a most Independent young lady; but If you so on with your work, won't you be too tired?"
 "Lord, no! I can do anything. I'm as strong as a horse"
 "As to Guarvenius, I'm sure he'll jump at you. He is an artist, and would not think of money, any how. Believe me, admire your independence. Fix 1t up with Gu arvenius yourself; but allow me the privilege, when you are ready. of helping you in whatever way l can"
 Judy was delighted. She was be- ginning to warm to the idea. There was adventure in 1t. This man, who knew 50 much of the world, was ready to allow her to succeed on her own merits. He did not want to lay her under any obligations. How ridiculous Bas- ten had been! It was a perfectly genuine business proposition. He knew she was dancer. and she knew 1t, too.
 Guarvenius arrived.
 He was q small, dapper man, with q delicate, artistic face, slightly feminine and yet strong. He had gray hair. growing back in a shock from his broad fore head. a small. high-bridged nose. deep-set, luminous, gray eyes. and q really beautiful mouth, spoiled by a set of discolered teeth--ac- counted for. no doubt, by the nev- er-absent cigaret.
 Judy was never at a loss with any man. and the two got on fa- mously. Guarvenius spoke per- feet English in voice with sad, sympathetic cadence.
 The lunch was served in small, severe, dark -paneled room. It was flowers on the table than there was food. There was only water to drink. It was a strictly business- like function but for the flowers, and there were flowers everywhere. all over the great apartment heavy-scen flowers that sent fumes up into Judy's brain such as no wine could ever do.
 sNow. Miss Judy. you must dance" said Gideon, when they had finished coffee. 'I will show you the other room-they will have 1t ready. A friend is com ing to play. What would you like him to play?"
 He led Judy into another great room, with three tall windows overlooking a garden. It was quite bare. with a polished floor. At one end was a raised platform with 8 fal-sized grand plano on it. There wias no other furniture. The walls we're pale yellow, hung with tapestries.
 lJudy looked round her. She felt suddenly as if she had never danced in her life. It was huddled little bundle of misery that looked LID at Gideon.
 ."oh!" she breathed. "Please leave me here for little while alone. before anybody comes!"
 When Gideon had gone out. ac- cAsiing sympathetically to her request, Judy stood by one of the tAli windows. She took her coat okf. but kept her hat on. She locked out on the garden below, but she did not see 1t. Somehow she seemed to see a picture of a uIhce among gray-green mountains which she felt sure must be Alan e<ayne's little house ih Maine. Yhere were fir trees and there was rllshing water, and 1t was all very bleak and wild. A pale sun was stlining through . mist. Looking hack Into the room, the yellow washed walls. hung with grayish- eresn tapestries. made her think 0{ that sun.
