WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE
•Giles Chittenham swears tp avenge,
the death of his young bull-broth
er Rodney, driven to suicide by
Hie notorious Julie Farrow who
liad spurned bis love. He will
make Julie JoVe him, then throw
- lier aside as she threw Rodney. He
meets her in Switzerland, goes
with her to the hotel on the St,
Bernard Pass, and succeeds iu
winning her love. To his amaze-
<inent', he discovers that he has fall-
-.en overwhelmingly in love with
her himself! And he is married
to an American girl with whom
> Ate has nothing in common.^Then he discovers that this girl
is not the same Julie Farrow who
ruined Rodney, but her cousin of
Hib same name. She scorns him
•when he confesses his Jove and liis
inability to marry 'her.'” They
' meet later in London, where she is
going the pace that kills. Another
anan, 'Lawrence Schofield, wants
to marry her, in spite of her wild
life.
Through Ills friend Lombard,
Giles Chittenham meets the ‘other
Julie,’ the notorious woman who
' ‘had ruined Rodney’s life. She
tells him she is going to die; the
cloc.t'ors have given her up as in
curable and she is leaving Eng
land. She is worried about her;
-cousin, the girl Chittenham loves.
That Julie—his Julie—is going in
last company, among them a com
mon little American girl named
(Sadie Barrow.
And Sadie Barrow is Giles Chit-
• tenham’s wife. He did not know
that she was in England. That
might’ lie. meets her at a party at
Sils mother’s house. They pretend
to lie strangers.
Giles learns that Sadie Barrow
ills wife, has gone in spiritualism
mnd is attending seances by a med
ium named Chryer.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
“She’s a braver woman than you
are—” Giles said savagely.
Julie ishruigged her shoulders.
“Has she made a conquest of you
already? Well, good duck to her,
slie’is welcome. And if you’ve only
come here to behave like a bully
you’id better go—I’ve a lunch engage
ment—”
“With Schofield?”
“That’s my affair,”
■ “If he was a decent fellow he’d
stop your nonsense, He’d never have
allowed you to do -what you did last
night—”
“You flatter your sex. All the
men in the world could not stop me
from doing exactly what I please.—”
They faced each other like deadly
enemies, white and shaken. It was
astonishing how suddenly the storm
had arisen.
Chittenham was not a conceited
man, but 5y his own love for Julie
he measured her love for him, -an
unhappy love that would give neither
of them rest and peace, and could not
bring happiness, and realizing this
he suddenly broke out passionately:
“Oh, my dear, it’s not. worthy of
you or of your love! Must you make
it harder for us both than it already
is? ... Do you think it’s nothing to
me to see you as you were last night
—to ...”
Tho tender sincerity
almost broke her down,
a little and caught at
but when Chittenham
gone to her she waved him away fur
iously.
“Don’t touch me. Don’t come
near me.”
Fr a moment she struggled hard
for self-control, then 3he was erect
once more and facing him difiantly.
“You said when I came in, that
this must stop. Well, I agree, and
so we’ll just settle it now once and
for all. And will you please under
stand, Mr. Chittenham, that you
I arc nothing whatever to one
other and never have been. If
want to hear the truth I rather
like you. However foolish you once
thought me . . Oh, I’m not shirking

The maid, already half-way across

went back to her bedroom.

Bim hung up the receiver and
turned. There was an angry frown
'between her level brows,
“Do you believe in spiritualism,
Mr. Chittenham?” she asked.
“No.”
“Nor do I, but it seems all tho
fashion just now. There is to be a
seance or whatever you call it at

“It’s all nonsense,” he protested
angrily. “A pack of charlatans dup

“Julie’s is going, too. They have
got hold of some wond’erful new
medium—” Bim’s vosce was quietly
sarcastic.
“They have invited me, but it’s
not the sort of thing I care about.”
Chittenham frowned.
“It’s not the sort of thing any
healthy-minded person would care
about anyway, and—” he paused. It
was impossible to tell Bim that his
mother had declared she would not
have Julie in her house again. “I
hope you will try and dissuade Miss
Farrow from going,” he added.
Bim shrugged her shoulders.
“You might' as well ask me to try
and stop Niagara,” she said hope
lessly. “Once Julie has made up
her mind nothing tan change it.”
Bim went with him to the door,
but after they liad said good-bye he
hesitated and came back.
’“.Miss Lennox—don’t leave her if
yo can help it”.
“No.”

stopped, only to
"You see, it’s all my fault—all my

“I know. Julie told me.”
“She told you?”
’ “Yes.”
“And I suppose you think . . .

Bim smiled.

opened.
•“Hullo!” Julie greeted him with t
a casual nod. “What in the world
brings you here as such an early
■hour? I’ve ionly just crawled out
of bed myself”
She spoke rather loudly and de
fiantly, and iShe deliberately left the
aloor open behind her.
Chittenham stepped past her and
•ielosed it, then he -came back
where ishe stood.
“This has got to stop, Julie,”
said without preamble.
Julie opened 'her eyes wide.
“Stop?” she echoed blanldly.
““What has (got to stop? piy getting
up so late, do you mean? My dear
anan—” »’
He interrupted ruthlessly.
“The whole of tins‘'miserable,

one thing. He would

If Julie still loved

nothing else mattered.
