brought him. With this party, the
formal entertaining for the COM
ing nuptials would be on.
Judy wondered if Ronald was
trying to prevent Abbey from pro-
ceeding further with her wedding
plans, She paused, quiet as
carved statue, at new thought.
The dowry had to be arranged.
EOf course! Ronald was obJectlng'
for he knew when that step was
taken the marriage was almost lr-
revocable, at least until such time
as the two principals decided they
had had enough of matrlmony
with each other.
A curious friendship had been
developing between Count PhiI-
lippe and Judy. She recognized ms
handsomeness, his wit, his hunor
which laughed at everyone, hlnl-
self most of all. She did not ap-
prove of him in any way, but she
found him interesting and ikable.
Mrs. Bedford would have made him
more acceptable wife than Alb
hey would, Judy thought. Inc
widow understood the rules by
which he lived. and could match
them. Abbey, for all her self-confi-
dence and arrogance, could not
meet them.
Thus, it happened that Judy and
Count Philippe talked gaily to-
gether, now and then. judy was
certain that he enjoyed her society
more than that of the heiress. pos
sibly because she did not ask any
thing of him. He could relax with
her, not watching for signs OF
withdrawal or anger.
That was the situation on the
night that Ronald came SO hastily
from the city. The guests went to
bed along about midnight. Judy
stirred restlessly, trying to sleep.
Ronald was under the same roof.
That was good. Snow drifted
against the windows. A dog
barked. 1t barled again. It
growled. Then there was a vast
white stiffness. 1t was too still.
Judy got up. wrapped a warm
dark blue velvet negligee around
her, slipped her feet into beaded
moccasins. and stepped through a
window to the balcony on which
her room opened. This was better,
The sky was unusually bright TO
be so heavy with snow clouds, The
sound was rough. A lighthouse
blinked it's lantern like a wicked
red eye in the distance.
Judy leaned against a post, not
thinking. not wondering. Because
she was so silent the man who was
creeping along the balcony did not
know that she was there until he
was almost upon her. He paused
just as the brown eyes looked up.
Hands up!" It was throaty
whisper.
Judy held them up. She wasn't
as frightened as she imagined such
situation would cause her to be.
The man was a prowler, doubtless
|ly, and would swing down the lat
tice in a moment.
The man advanced a step In
stead. "a
You're the Boland dame ?" he
asked.

knew in which room his grace, his
highness, whatever you called a
count, had been placed. She
knocked. No sound. She knocked
a little louder. She heard some
one turning sleepily. The third
time she beat a swift staccato mes
sage on the closed door.

from that tone.

It was a matter of seconds until
he opened the door. To Judy il
seemed to be long minutes. She
reached beyond him and closed the
door. Her knees felt weak. Row
that the count had come to her
without being stopped by q a1ct,
she was feeling faint and wohbly.
He noticed and reached out a
supporting arm. He made no sign
that he was curious as to why she
had summoned him at the crack
of dawn. In a moment Judy with
drew from the arm. She felt bet

"I'm sorry" she said, and tried
to smile. "I had to get you out of
that room. You were about to be
shot,"
"Shot?' His eyebrows flew up

'T'll stroll along. just for the

| Count Philippe lounged against
the wall while Judy entered her
own room and rang the butler.
She came back to the door, to wait
with him.
She wasn't prepared for the
searching glance Of his dark eyes.

bore him a routine. There had
been love there, but fear had re-
strained it. IF the love had been
greater it would not have been So
Not once had she wanted to f1ee
with Craig to some far corner OF
a sea, or cliff on the side OF the
mountain. But she would have
laughed at storms, warmed at
hillside fires, if Ronald were there.
She knew it in a flash so blind
ing that it left her breatfiless, as
though she had been walking on
an upward road too long.
Once she had thought Ronald
liked her. That was before she
had seen him with Abbey.
Then Judy consoled herself with
another line of reasoning. If Ron
aid had cared for her. wasn't this
shifting of his affections added
proof that love had its day and
died? Maybe there was not such
a thing as a clean, strong fire that
burned consistently. Maybe there
were lust a lot of little fires, and
prettv soon the human heart held
piles of little ashes where love had
been.
That had been her fear for the
wears at boarding school. It had
checked her when she might have
married Craig, Now it strength
ened her when her heart was
bruised by Ronald's attention to
Abbey.
She found Abbey down in the
swimming pool The pool was a
long one. and it's waters were the
green of it's tiled basin. People in
CAV swim suits were frolicking
there. Abbey was stretched lazily
under sun lamp. When Judy re-
peated the message, she sat up
quickly.

Eyes, that's all"
"Can him for me, right away,
will you, Miss Rogers? I'll take
the call in the booth down here"
So Judy got the law Offices,
heard Miss Martins voice an
nounce that she would summon
Mr.. Birrell, and moment later
heard his voice.
"Just a moment, Ronald" she
explained calmly. 'I have Miss
Boland for you."
The conversation was a long
one. Once Judy saw Abbey ges-
ture with white hand as though
the man must catch the emphasis
of her words. When she came out,
she called to Judy:
"Mr. Birrell is coming out on the
next train. Will you ask the
housekeeper to prepare the south
guest room 2"
A big party was scheduled at the
estate for Christmas Eve. In
some way this was connected with
Ronald's insistence that he must
talk to Abbey, Judy decided. A
time or two that evening, when
the guests were lounging careless
ly around the long rooms where
open wood fires burned cheerfully,
Judy overheard a few words Of
conversation. She noted, too, that
Abbey was careful to make every
thing casual-as though some
business matter, not important but
well to have out of the way, had

She felt better when she had ad-
mitted the fact. Before, it had
been crowding against the doorway
of her mind, striving to come out.
Now she had unlatched the gate,
and here it was. It wouldn't hurt
so much.
Judy upbraided herself for
fickleness. How could she have
loved Craig so short a time before,
and now feel swift bells ringing
when she saw a bright head flung
back, and lips that quirked into a
teasing smile? Wasn't she tickle,

condemned because marriage was

lives? Yet she knew that there
was a difference in the two loves.
