matter was of far greater interest
to Judy than the CLEAN and gilt

Downstairs everything was too
gay, too bright great silver

blue bows; holly and mistletoe sup
piled too lavishly; small, electrical
ly lighted trees on every available
table. Therefore she decorated her
own room simply and used it as a
haven during the evenings. She
had small tree, and she placed
blue lights on its slim branches.
She hung holly wreathes, crisp and
fresh, at her latticed windows. and
tied bright red bows on them.
Two weeks more, two weeks
more, her heart kept singing. It
made refrain of the three words,
and the train wheels chanted
them; the wind blowing cold
through the tall, barren trees out
side her window sang them; the
cheerful cracking of the log fire
repeated them.
Two weeks more-and she could
resign! The contest would be over.
But suppose I don't win

But I will! If I think I will.

times.
Abbey's wedding would take
place toward the end of January.
Already the guest lists were pre-
pared. Invitations, which would
be mailed three weeks before the
day scheduled for the ceremony,
were addressed, stamped, and
waiting. The small book, in which
gifts would be recorded to simplify
the thank you notes for the
donors, had been prepared.
The wedding cake and wedding
supper had been ordered. The dec
orations had been chosen. The fa-
vors were prepared. There was
nothing at all to do which would
battle a new secretary, Judy knew.
Her conscience would not hurt her
when she left.
Yet she would have consented to
see the wedding through, she adj
mitted, if it had not been for Rom
aid. He was growing disturbingly
important. And Abbey found him
too interesting, considering the
fact that her wedding day, when
she would marry another man, was
so close at hand.
Judy was thinking Of this when
her telephone rang one afternoon.

with Mrs. Martin Bedford. You
are model secretary, well brought
up"
Mrs. Martin Bedford was a
widow whose husband had left her
a great deal of money. Judy knew
her slightly. She wondered, with
amusement, if she, too, had sue
cumbed to the foreign charmer's
wiles.
Outside the train ran through
small villages where station wag-
ons, or wives in family cars,
greeted their husbands or guests.
Not many guests tonight, mostly
husbands. The weekend was
ended. A working week was in
progress. Judy turned to the win
dow and wondered if among some
of them they had found that price
less gift called security-if there
were women who believed that
marriage would endure through
the years, just as the Rock of Glib
raltar guarded the water road to
Spain and the Plymouth Rock was
as solid as it had been when the
Pilgrims first kne1t to pray. She
had had ancestors among that
group - strong men and gentle
women. Marriage had not been a
toy in their hands. It was warp
from which the fabric of a nation
had been woven. Where had their
children lost the way?
She thought of Ronald Birrell.
His eyes were brave and tender.
His mouth was strong. His will
was clean and sharp as sword.
She wondered from whence his
ancestors had come to those re-
mote mountain districts. Some
time she must ask him. Strange
that she identified herself with
him, though their paths had trav-
eled so many miles apart until re-
Gently. He was not the type of
man for Abbey to use as a member
Of her train. He was sincere. IF:
he loved her, it would be with a
whole heart, not just half. But
how could he love Abbey?
Men were dumb, so bitterly,
ridiculously dumb! Why hadn't
Craig taken her mo" for eyes" last
summer down in her heart it had
been an affirmative word tossed
her into his car, and headed for
Greenwich? He had done it with
another girl. That line of reason
ing was no good. Craig had loved
that other girl, and she, Judy Rog-
ers, had been comfortable habit.
The conductor called their sta
ton. Judy was glad that only the
chauffeur met them. She did not
want to see Abbey. She was glad
that her dinner was served on a
tray in her room again. She found
herself wishing that it would al
ways be tha- way.
During Il , next two weeks she
was unusually busy. Christmas
was coming. There were wrcathes
to be bought, a tall evergreen to
be ordered and its trimming to be
supervised, presents to be selected.

NOV, NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY:
CHAPTER %

HOW DESPERATELY mucn
Abbey wished to hold on to her
count came to Judy's immediate
attention Tuesday morning. All
day Monday Judy had been busy
with her work, while Abbey and
Count Philippe went into the city.
Tuesday morning Abbey came
into her room.
Miss Rogers, something has
happened to our books. The
binder is delaying. So we want
the empty shelves ones with
phoney volumes refilled. Can you
catch a train into the city and
place an order? Oh, yes, you'll
have to see how many things we
need. The butler will attend to
that"
If Abbey would go to such
lengths to retain the counts re-
spect, why would she play with
his affections by devoting herself
to Ronald? Judy asked herself
the question, decided it was none
Of her business, and prepared for
the trip into the city. She ordered
the books, gasped at the size of
the bill-a bill which would have
seemed relatively small to Judy
four months before-did a little
shopping, and went to the Long
Island section of the Pennsylvania
railroad to catch her train.
She was walking down the long
approach, having descended the
steps from the main station, when
she saw familiar figure ahead
Of her. She had not known that
Count Philippe was in the city,
too. At first she did not think the
tall woman going down the same
promenade was with him. Then
the woman smiled up, into the
lean, dark face, and he looked
down at her, gravely but with
dancing lights in the provocative
eyes.
Judy turned and went out of
her way so they need not meet.
After all, Count Philippe knew
any number of charming women
al over the world, of course. She
went into a car, found seat, and
tried to hide behind a newspaper.
One eye, though, watched the COM
muters. When she saw. Count
Philippe coming, she pulled the
paper higher and became i'm
mersed in black words that meant
nothing.
The paper was removed from
her hands. The count slipped into
the seat at her side.
MAY II" he asked. I'm sure
It VIII be much more instructive.
rs well as entertaining, to talk to
me. I trust you have arranged for
q readable library?"
Judy spoke slowly. ST think
you are perfectly horrible! Mr..
Roland shouldn't settle one good
American dollar on you. We have
rules over here about not smiling
at our hosts idiosyncrasies. And
when we are accepting II mean,
when we are recipients -"
Go ahead, finish the sentence.
When we are recipients of their
charity, we should guard our
tongues"
"Al right, that's what we are
both of u.s.
In other words you don't ap-
prove of marrying for money? But
you don't think loves worthy
basis, either. What do you think.
Miss Rogers? ?"
IT don't think" 81
After all, he and Abbey were fol-
lowing an accepted pattern. He
would have his money. She would
have her title. IF the marriage
grew irksome, it could be ended.
That was what people thought.
Her mother and father, Mariorie's
mother and father, her aunt, the
parents Of other schoolmates-
