JUDITH AssA M CORALIE STANTON and HEATH HOSl<EN
 Wy COPYRIGHT lo5O N CHELSEA HOUSE

1 nished. but Judy had put up some little pictures that the boys at the cafe had given her and there was a gayly striped Como rug thrown over the hard couch.
 Far more color was provided by a mass of exquisite flowers from hothouse and garden--a veritable medley of roses, carnations, lilies, and all the variegated splendor of the August border. They had evil dently been thrown into basins and jugs pell-mels and their scent made the atmosphere of the little room heavy with sweetness. Judy came into the room, while Alan stood at the window glover ing down into the street. ''Where Is Chummy?" she asked. "I expected to find her here,"' he answered. We said half past seven. I came straight here. I am a little late"
 "she won't be many minutes" l" Judy said carelessly. What a lovely day we had! What do you think of my room?"
 where do all these flowers come from?" he asked abruptly.
 "Tm sure I don't know" | xNOIlSCucCp Ju0ys 4CAA 4hVt eNA O Il they from Gideon?"
 Il tell you don't know; but l shouldn't be surprised. They come every few days, and there's no name. Only Mir Gideon hasn't any country house, and aren't they garden flowers?"
 Some of them" said Steyne roughly. Where is Gideon?"
 Abroad somewhere--in France, where he goes to drink waters to reduce his fat, I think"
 When did you last see him."
 T haven't seen him since dear M. Guarvenius died," Judy an- swered.
 Didn't he try to see your"
 "He did, if you want to know; but I can't see why you"
 "Oh, yes, Judy, you can see!" said Steyne recklessly. You know perfectly well that I'm madly Jealous of the brute!"
 T think it's very strange of you to talk like that when you're going to be married in day or two. Why do you want to spoil ~this nice day?"
 Steyne turned and looked at her. She wore a little black dress all but sleeveless, as was her wonted garb. Around her slender waist was a sash of fussy tulle, ending in big bow at one side. She was very pale. The flowerlike face, the bright hair, and the curl of the lips were more than Alan could stand
 He had given her up-yes he had given her up, once and for all, on that night in his studio, when she had begged him not to make 1t so hard for her, and he was going to marry Clarissa Morley in day or two. But just now, at this moment in her flower-scented room, after a day in Judy's company, drinking in her presence, absorbing all her maddening variety, he was moi master of himself. Just once more-once more!
 He strode up to her and took her hands.
 Judy, this Is goodbye" he said | "Yes," she breatehed. Tt is goodby!"
 "You are making me do it. It's your fault. You insist on my marrying Clarissa. You insist on my leaving you all alone in the world without any one to look after you"
 "I can look after myself"
 Perhaps; but I want you tc know that it's your fault, your do. ing. Goodby, Judy!"
 She breathed faintly. Her pallo,

 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER XXVI
 Chun1my found it hard beyond belief to repeat her conversation with Judy to Alan. She managed to tell him that Judy was very much changed.
 "She's so serious, Alan = you wouldn't know her."
 And you think she can look after herself, Clarissa?" the young man asked.
 "oh, yes, of course she can. She always has,"
 .Then you don't think 1t neces- sary to postpone our wedding any longer?" :, No, Alan-not on that account" Steyne said nothing. There was no other account. He knew that It had come to the point. It was now the end of the first week m August. He had consulted the girl about the date of the wedding a day or two ago, and she had sug- gested the 17th, her birthday. It must be settled definitely now There was no going back. Her preparations were made. He had none to make.
 The time had come for him to settle his debt, to pay for that more than seven-year old mistake.
 He nerved himself and they dis cussed details. There was plenty of time to give orders for the other rooms at Gramercy park to be pre- pared before they came back. They would write from abroad.
 Perhaps Clarissa would pick up some Italian furniture. There were a small sitting room for her and another bedroom, and also a malds room, to be arranged. Ciarlssa could think of no more ideal home, "Before we go Alan, we must make Judy spend a day with us I'm still a little worried about her. You see, she's alone a great deal now, and Clara Jenks is so busy Shall we go into the country and have a really nice day? I'll make her come"
 "Yes," he agreed. "Tll hire car-there's not room enough In mine."
 '"That will be lovely"
 Chummy was radiant. Alan won- dered at her unselfishness. He won- dered how she had ever come to believe that he loved her; and he wondered what in her secret heart she thought of him as a lover now
 
 hYou will come. won't you yudy?" Chummy asked, her. eyes alight with affection, her whole be- ing aglow with the thought Of the wonderful life that was opening out before her. Just one day before we start off, Alan and II"
 "Of course I'll come." Judy an swered. Ut sounds lovely. A whole day in the country, a motor car, a picnic lunch and a dinner and a play to end up with! Why, sweet I haven't done a single thing since dear old Guarvenius died! :,
 "Then it's tomorrow. if it's fine,' said Chummy. "we'll call for you
