SIXTH INSTALLMENT WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE Giles Chittenham swears to avenge the death of his young half-brother Rodney, driven to suicide by the notorious Julie Farrow who had spurned his love. He will make Julie lova him, then throw her aside as she threw Rodney. He meets her in Switzerland, goes with her to the hotel 011 the St. Bernard Pass, and succeeds in winning her love. To his amazement, he dis covers that he has fallen overwhelm ingly in love with her himself! And he is married, to an American girl with whom he has nothing in com mon. Then he discovers that this girl is not the same Julie Farrow who ruined Rodney, but her cousin of the same name. She scorns him when he confesses his love and his inability to marry her. They meet later in London, where she is going the pace that kills. Another man, Lawrence Schofield, wants to marry her, in spite of her wild life. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. % In the morning he ranft her up. Bim Lennox auswered: "Julie? Oh, I'm sorry—she's not up yet. Who it is," "Lawrence Schofield. She told me I might ring." "Oh . . . well—if you will wait a moment. May .I give her a mes sage?" 1 "I want her to lunch with me if she will." I "I will tell her." It seemed an eternity till Bim re turned. "Julie will be delighted. Will you call for her at half-past one," "I shall be delighted also." So that was that! Schofield felt a boy as he turned away from the telephone. Nearly fifty! Nonsene. be was a young man, and in love for the first time. He might have been less elated had he heard Julie's comment when his message was conveyed to her. | "Schofield, who on earth .... don't know the man." I Julie was half asleep still; her head was splitting, and there was a queer dread in her heart. | "He was here last night. He brought you home," Bim said patiently. "He wants you to lunch with hini. He is waiting on the 'phone." "Oh—well, say what you like—• anything." Bim went away without answer ing, and when she returned Julie was still sitting up in bed, her hands clasped round her knees, a little frown of pain between her eyes. "What did you say," "I said you would be delighted to lunch with bim. and he is calling for you at half-past one." Julie scowled. "I told you to send him away." I "You didn't. You told me to say what I liked, so I said you would be delighted. I like that man." "Go with him yourself then." ) AMMUNITION YOU CAN SHOOT WITH CONFIDENCE ftjimy no thrill in all sport quite jfte quail shooting . . . especially if you have a good dog . . . and good ammunition. . lightning fast . . . tricky . . . yes, quail are that, bnt if you have Peters Target Shells in your cun you have a splendid chance to bag one or more on a bevy rise.

Julie followed Bim to the door with envious eyes "How on earth do you manage to look so fresh at this ungodly hour?" she grumbled. ' \ Bim turned round with a faint smile. "I don't drink too much for one thing," she said lightly. Schofield came for Julie in a big car. y "It's awfully good of you to come," he said nervously. "It's awful good of you to ask me." Julie said. She looked at him and was touched by the genuine pleasure in bis eyes. "Are you living iu town?" she asked. "I am only staying in an hotel at the moment," Schofield answered, and then added: "i think I told you last night." Julie bad forgotten everything about last night except those lit tlet cameos of paiu in which Chit tenham had featured. "Of course you did," she said hurriedly, and racked her brains to remember what else he had told her. They lunched at ("laridge's "It was perfect waste." so Julie told Bim afterwards. "Sinful waste taking me to such a place. I had no appetite—the sight of the food al most unnerved ine. However, I managed to make some sort of a show, but I'm afraid he was dis appointed." But in spite of no appetite and a headache, Julie quite enjoyed her self. There was something about Schofield ,which it was impossible not to like. He was so anxious to please, so attentive and kind. Are you a married man?" Julie asked impulsively, and he flushed and shook his head. "No—my wife died .. . not long ago." She drummed her slim fingers on the table, conscious of Schofield'4 eyes upon them. "You . . . you are net married?" he asked. "Good Lord 110!" Julie laughed. "No, thank you," she said again loudly. "Why do you say that?" f'he flushed and looked away. "Why? Oh, I don't know. I pre fer independence, I suppose. "But If you met some man who , . who thought the world of you— some man who would be kind and . . . and devoted." "Are there any such men?" she asked cynically. "There is one here." Schofield said. She turned her bead slowly and looked at him in blank amazement. "I beg your pardon," she said at last. Schofield's honest eyes met hers unfalteringly. "I said there was one here," he THE ELKIV TRIBUNE, ELKIW NORTH CAROLINA ' » repeated. "I suppose that you are surprised. I have not forgotten that we met last night for the first time, but directly I saw you every thing waß changed for me. I have never-—never felt for /any woman what I felt for you night. I daresay you think it presumption on my part to have' said as much as i have done, but some day if there is no other man you care for . . Julie gasped. "You're not . . . you're hot asking me to marry you?'|, "Some day I want to ask you if you will." Julie felt as if she were droam ing. She broke out desperately: "But you know nothing about me —nothing." "1 know you are the woman with vhom 1 could he perfectly happy." She laughed derisively. "That is a bold statement. If I were to tell you . . He just touched her hand with his. "Nothing could make any difer- 1 ence." \ She felt, her eyes wet with sud- ( den tears. I "Are you . . , Just . . . joking?" she asked. "No." . She looked at him for a lonK moment iu silence; she felt as if she; saw hin/now for the first time. He , was not young, as he had told heiv ( and he was not good-looking.bbust s there was something In his face— a steadfastness and sineerety which ■ was like balm poured into her ack ing heart. ( I "I don't want you to say any-, j thing now." he was telling her. "If ( you will just let me see you— often. | and be your friend." | "I don't know why you are so kind to me." ■ "I am being kind to myself." She looked away, winking the tears from her lashes. , He was so simple and sincere. He ( 'was like a breath from her old peaceful life. Lately she had seen: so little of simple honesty and sin- ( cerity. Sometimes she thought she • had left all those things behind her s on the snow-covered mountain tops.l •'Where have you been hiding all these years?" she asked impulsively. He told her quite frankly. •'l've lived in a country town-" I've just been a nobody, a junior I partner in a highly respectable firm of solicitors. My wife died—a' was never very strong, and then a distant relation died too and le'.\ me some money—quite a lot of money—" "Lucky you!" Julie said. "Yes," he answered, "I think I was very lucky," and his eyes were; on her face. "I hope my luck will! continue io hold," he added. "I think you deserve that it should," Julie said. You are the! kind of a man who would spoil a woman terribly," Julie said. "It would give me great happi-' ness if I had the right to spoil you."' She laughed rather sadly. "It's such early days. Soon—j perhaps quite soon—yon will know me better, and then you will wonder why yon over thought me nice at all. I've got all sorts of vices." "I don't believe you." They spoke of the others who had been at the Faun. "I tell you who I did like," Scho fleld said. "That tall fellow—what was his name—Chittenhana?" Julie caught her breath. "Oh, yes—l forgot that you met him." "I liked him," Schofield said aKaln meditatively. #'l believo I've met hlin before somewhere, but I can't quite remember. If I were a woman, he is tlie kind of man who would attract me." "He detests all women." "Nonsqpse, a man like that" Julie broke in excitedly: "I tell you he does— ask any one who knows him. he's a woman hater.',' "Then there must be a reason for it." "Conceit, I should think!" Julie said flippantly. "He imagines that all women are running after him." Schofield looked surprised at her vehemence. "It sounds rather as If you dislike him." Julie shrugged her shoulders. There was a hard look in her pretty eyes. "I don't dislike him," she said, "I'm just quite Indifferent." • • • Since his introduction to Dor-Is at the Faun, Giles saw a good ' deal more of her than he wished to sea. At first he had accepted her invita tions in the hope that perhaps Julie might also be Included, but he ' had always been disappointed. i Once when he had mentioned her name to Doris she had frowned. "Oh, Julie! I think I>e shown her room la preferable to h»r company. Sh•'» really too impossible. You know who she Is running about with now?" "No." "Lawrence Schofleld." "I don't know him." "You do. You were introduced to him at the Faun one night. He's a harmless sort of man with heaps of money, but his wife has only been dead about a month, and it's a bit soon, don't you think?" "Soon for what?" "To get married again." There was a little silence, then Chittenham asked quietly: "Is he to marry Miss Farrow, then?" "So people say. He's years too old for her, of course, but he seems absolutely devoted, and she says It's only his money she wants, and as it's what we all want, I suppose you can't blume her." "I suppose not! though I under stand Miss Farrow to say that she never intended to marry." Doris laughed. It, was the next day his mothe telephoned him. He could not go with her. Giles wondered as he hung up the receiver, what his mother would have said had he told her that his engagement was to meet the other Julie Farrow whom his brother had loved. The invitation had come about in quite a casual way. Only the night before Lombard had called in at the hotel where he was staying. "Will you come along and have some dinner with me this evening? Quite a small party," he said. "LadiesP" "Two—one of them Julie Far row—the real Julie this time," he uddtd rather maliciously. Giles frowned. "Did you tell her I was coming?" "1 said I should ask you if I could find you." "And she made no objection?" 'None, t think she was entertain ed at the thought of meeting you." There was a silence which Chit tenham broke. "There's one point I can't get quite clear," he said. "This Julie —the famous one isn't she a married woman?" t "She was. There was a divorce." "I see. and she still calls herself Farrow?" "It was her maiden name. She went hack to it when the case was over." Giles laughed shortly. "It seems to be the fashion," he said, and he remembered that Sadie had done the same thing after he und she had agreed to each go their separate ways. >571) IN mih ! i 3^i42- B Lesi Radlotrons sensationally ,In 1926, the favored set of the wealthy!
