Then she went on steadily, “Do you think it would mean as much to ¥ou to buy one of Honey's pictures as it would mean to Honey to paint the picture?” When he did not answer her she pressed ahead. "My toys are ugly but they make children laugh. That makes me happier than merely buy- ing one of the toys for a child could make me!” “Your toys a sides, they give you an outlet. after all, making toys is not destiny and vou know it.” At t Judith drew a deep sigh. “Oh, 1 hope not!” she breathed soft- y. “If only some day I can be a real artist and make fisurines!

But you can't do it as long as you believe there are only two geniuses in the world, Honey and Dabs. “Well, they »on't sacrifice your sort of genius Jud, A lovely color flooded Judy's face. “I'd rather see Dabs’ book succeed than make a million!” she cried softly. “Td rather see one of Honey's pictures hung in a good gallery than I would to see a hundred of mine fung in the New York Gallery of Fine Arts!

This elfish Judy frightened him. The wrong word and she would be away from him like a frightened bird! Would she ever come back? He must be careful. I am in earnest!” he sald swiftly. “You don’'t know anything about me, Judy, and you ought to. Of course, it was a joke to say I was a prince, but T am in sort of A disgulse.

A little sound of pain crept into Tommy's voice. “All my life girls have been nice to me because of Dad’s money “Why, vou poor lamb!"

I want Honey and Dabs to succeed. I want to make something of myself. That would be real fun! And the only kind of fun I want!” Tommy was perplexed. Here was a girl, lovely, soft, desirable and none of the things of girlhood meant any- thing to her. Was her heart as stony as it seemed? Well, money had never falled him yet! He wanted her! He must win her! If she | would only be happy with succes: then he would lay success in her lap! “All right, then” he said, “let me loan you enough money so that you can go ahead and develop your tal- ent, if that's what yougwant.
