May I have the pleasure ?” They went away together through the pillared partitJon to the room where the jazz band was playing. A sudden scream rose shrilly above the noise, followed by a burst of hysterical laughter and the clatter Of breaking glasses. “What on earth- began. Doris Gardener laughed. “It’s only Julie Farrow. I don’t know what’s happened to her lately, She was quite drunk here the other night. I her out.” ’ “Julie voice was he felt as his heart. “Yes, do you know her? She us­ ed to be rather a friend of mine, but one has to draw the line somewhere. Just lately she seems to en leave of her senses. Chittenham’s eyes were across the room in the from where the noise had arisen, but there was too much of a crowd for him to distinguish any one face. “You mean the famous Julie Far­ row, I suppose,” he submitted lac­ onically. Doris glanced across the room, “There she is—” she said. “In the green frock. No—over the othei’ side, sitting on the arm of the chair laughing . . . That’s what I call a cocktail laugh. Come along. I’m sure Essen and your mother are bor­ ed to tears.with one another by this time.” But Chittenham did ivot move. He was looking at the girl in the green frock—a green frock of which there seemed to be so very little with which to cover her white neck and arms. Her lips were painted a livid red, and she was laughing noisily— immoderately—laughter which died away suddenly as she met his gaze across the room, and it was his Julie -—Lhe woman who lias said she loved him, and with wlroui he had spent that never to be forgotten night on the top of the world.

( —I knew it would happen- She shrugged her shoulders re­ signed a.s Julie suddenly detached herself from the noisy group she was with and threaded her way across the room. Doris glanced at Chittenham. “Do you know Mr. Chittenham, Julie?” She made the introduction with ob­ vious reluctance. Julie had returned Chittenham’s formal bow with a careless nod. “How are you? I’ve heard of you,” she said casually. “Rodney Ardron’s. half-brother, aren’t you? Delighted to meet you.” Chittenham’s face hardened be­ neath its pallor. I-Ie felt as if he were in the presence of a stranger who yet looked at him with well-be­ loved eyes. “I think we have met before,” said with cool deliverance. Julie raised her eyebrows. “Have we? Oh, surely not. so good at remembering faces. Per­ haps. you are mistaking me for my cousin—the other Julie!” She laugh­ ed insolently. “That' does happen sometimes, I assure you?’ he said, turning to Doris. “Julie probably wouldn’t be flattered if she knew, but all the same it happens occasion­ ally. You may not believe me, Mr. Chittenham, if- you know my cousin that is—'but a man once kissed me in the most impassioned way think- I was the other Julie! So very aw*k- ward, especially as he was a man whom I very much dislike.” “A disappointment to the man al- perhaps,” Chittenham said bitter­ hut she only laughed.

He found himself remembering• the barely-furnished room at the hotel on the heights of St. Bernard—the isolated top-of-the-world room in which he had held Julie in his arms. He had been forced to leave Swit­ zerland and without seeing her again although he had made several at­ tempts. He had wired 'Sadie the name of the hotel at which he intended to stay, and the day following his- ar­ rival a letter came from her. She did not even sign her name, and Chittenham burnt the letter as soon as he had read it. A thousand times since leaving Switzerland he had thought of ask­ ing Sadie to divorce him, but Chit­ tenham knew her well enough ..to guess that if she thought he •wished to get rid of her she would never do it.
