Judy sprang to her feet, At the

The voices grew more distant. The
two men had left the studio.
Judy knew the arrangement o f
the house. Next to the studio was
an anteroom, the door of which was
always open, and beyond that was

studio, and appeared to take no pan
in his artistic life. One sometimes
her name mentioned In the pa

on her.
The girl stood there, drawing deep
breaths, so violent that they shook
her slender frame.
"Not the sort of girl one could
marry! If one did marry, It would
not be a little Judy Orant!”
Wouldn't If?
So that was what he thought of
her—“this horrible, ugly, loathsome
man! She wasn’t the kind of girl

Gideon took his leave.
Judy, meanwhile, walked as fast
as her legs could carry her. She
was deaf and blind with fury, She
did not se where she was going, and
it wa5 a miracle that she was not
run over at the crossings.

The words rang in her ears
clashing bells. They roused the
