Len Elliott, The Plumnber Phone 348 Bowrnanville FIRST INSTALMENT ISa this was Julie Farrow! a woman Iwhose love afi airs were notaniaus al- thougli she was said ta bu only eight and twenty, a woman for wliose worthless sake oniy six months ago a young foal, had, I a moment of hysteracal disillusionnient, taken lhis life. Giies Chittenham put down C lis iced drink and shi ted his poston a ttie in order to get a btter view af lier. She was very plainiy dressed. She was entirely without jewellery of any kind, without even a weddlng ring. Rodney had complained that Julie Farrow was flot interested i dlamonds. "She wan't let me gve her any- thing. She says sho hates diamonds. She wor't take anything from me. I only wisl ta, God she would." This woman was oertainly unique; thore was nothing of the stereotyped adventuress about her, and posslbly therein lay lier cief attraction. Rodney at any rate lad adored lier, adored lier so madly that one niglt, conviced at lasi that she wouid have nothing ta do with him, lie had upset a skiff near the weir at Maidenliead and put an end ta lis 11e. Rodney was a powerful swimer,' but a corone's jury lad bro t h accidentai deaili, and only Chitten- ham knew the truili. oniy Chitten- haro ever saw a lettor whicli the boy had posted ta him in Amenica an, hour before lis death, declaring his itention. "She's done yulh me. She's f or- biddesi me to go near her again." Chittenham had destroyod tle lut-1 ter as soon as he lad read it.* 0f wlat use to stir up muddy water when Hodney vas gone?

Rodney and he weru lialf -brothers. Giles knew that lie wouid bu trust- ed ta, a weuk of hysteries when he and hls mother met. He was sorry for lis moteur, but lieliad always found lier wearisome. In lis huart lie was amazed that she liad evur managed ta find two husbands. Rodnuy had beun like his mothur. The boy's tragie deatl had buen a severe blow ta Giles, and lie had subconsciously determined that If ever lie met Julie Farrow shc slouid not bu allowed ta go unpunlahud. He knew thai shu was a divorcud woman; lie knuw that there were many unsavoury atories bold of lier, alihougli Rodney had always boun lier loyal champion. If you saw lier you'd undorstand." Rtodney wrotu. "Slie's so, wonderful. Ail women are not as rotten as you think they are. You've probably buen unicky, but we don't ail have thee sanie expurience." Giles lad certai]y boen unlucky, but Rodney lad flot known of lia brother's manriage at ail, and neither had anybody ulsu iEngiand. His wif e was an American girl named Sadie Barrow, whom lie lad married because she had amused him and becausu she had seemed to expect hlm to marry lier. That was a year ago. and they had lived more or less of a detadlied life since. She did flot want home-lite. she wanted ta bu here. there, and everywhere, and wlien Giles objected she reminded him that she was fin- ancially indepenldent of hlm and meant ta do as she chose. A ter six months' bickerlng, Giles gave in and let lier go her owfl way. They met occasionally, and then always by Sadie's own request. Sho was in New York whon the news came of Rodney's death and Giles liad cabled to her that lie was going to England. Her reply had buon characteristie . "Your f uneral, flot mine. Not con- Chttenhi did flot care; as a matter of ftact her refusai to accomp- any hlm was a relief. He wislied ta keep his marriage a secret. It was on his way across the Atlantic that a sudden distaste for the reason of hîs journey seized upon Giles. Sa he lef t the ship at Cherbourg, wandered Up to Paris and ran into Harry Lombard whom he had flot seen for five years. Lombard liad a business in Paris, woman aff ectionateiy. "You'd neyer guess!" she said at last. Chttenham laughed. "I should say It would flot be dlffl- cuit.

She loves chidren. and she's got the largest heart in the wold."l "Isn't that rathen a pose wlth some wamen?" Chittenham asked unkind-' l."Are you a cynic as weil as a1 woman-liater?" Julie asked curtly. "I only speak of things as I find tliem." lie answened. Before there was time for a reply Birfi and Lombard rujolned the. "And what do your people say to. this wld adventure?"
