In the momning tliey returned ta the town below, Julie ap- parently jubllantly hiappy. Lombard tells Chlttenliam that lielias made a mistake, that this Julie Farrow is not the one wlio ruined Rodney, but lier cousin ai the same naine. Chit- tenliam is liarrifled. He caîls at Jul- le's liotel and confesses that lieliad tried ta wn lier love f or purpases af revenge, belleving lier ta be the ather Julie.
