When he was in one of th she knew that he suffered. “I have a 1 of a disposition, Judy,” he said rich was the nearest Stan Carter ever | came to an apology.

But she was too ex- cited. She lay with closed eyes, and excitement, delight, nervous fear surged over her in turn. ' Impossible that she had been the girl who worked in the Summerfield library all day long . . . coming home at night to help Aunt Hetty clean house or sew upon her own simple wardrobe. Going to the movies with Rosamond—or to a small party at another girl's house. . . . How life had changed. How complex it was getting. Vera came to rouse her and tell her it was time to dress, and one look at| Vera's compressed lips and drawn brows told Judy that something had happened “It's that Nick!” A hot, dull flush showed on Vera's broad face. “He's come home! Of all the inconvenient times to pick to walk in on us! He's the most inconsiderate thing on earth!" So, Stan's half-brother had come home, though Judy, as she dressed Nick, the family tyrant had come back. She found indignation rising in her own heart. It was horrid that he had to come back the night of her party. She hoped she wouldn't see him, The long pier glass gave back a vision in creamy yellow. In some subtle way the dress brought out a demure old- shioned charm about Judy. Out of the suggestion of sleeves rose the soft, pure line of her shoulders, a line of gentle dignity. A strangé touch of dig- nity, too, In the stiff softness of the moire folds of the skirt. “Judy Den- ning walks as straight as an Indian," was a saying often repeated back in Judy's home town, and the old-fash- joned simplicity of the dress played up to this quaint stateliness. Clever Mme. Esmee had seized upon the girl's secret charm and played up to it. Eyes glowing, cheeks flushed with ex- citement, brown hair sweeping back from her white forehead in a soft, deep wave, Judy knew that she had never looked so well Stan’s voice sounded from the door- way where he had stood, undetected watching her. “You're a darn presentable wench, Judy! I have a good mind to hug you until T muss that pretty new dress!” His eyes were deep with approval | there was & faint, excited smile on his lips. Judy saw that the black mood | was gone, and a rush of relieved hap- | piness came over her. Careless of the | Rorgeous new dress, she pressed close | to him as he took her in his arms | Stan dressed, they were“going down- | stairs together, when a voice halted [them. Martha, Mme. Carter's maid, | came heavily down after them “Oh, Mr, Stanley, madame wanted to know —_— —— = 926 H Street, NW. Superior Linoleum Co.

But make it Snappy.” “But aren't you coming, too?” His tone was ungracious. “No. be downstairs.” Judy followed Martha's broad figure up to the third story. This was the first time she had been to the quarters of the old autocrat. No one went there without an invitation. m Martha opened the door at the head! of the stairs, ushered her into the room. Mme. Carter was enthroned in a great stuffed chair, Sitting on a couch close by her was & man whom Judy had never before seen, A man whom Judy knew instinctively to be Stan’s half- brother—the hated Nick.
