He will make Julie love him, then thraw ber aside as sbe threw Rodney. He meets ber in Swltzcrland, goes witb ber ta, the hotel on the St. Bernard Pass, and succeeds in wlnnlng ber love. To bis amazement, he discavers tbat he bas failen avcrwhelmingly in lave with ber binseif! And he 15 marrlcd, ta an American girl with wbam be bas nothing in cammon. Then be discavers that this girl is nat the same Julie Farrow wba ruin- ed Rodney, but ber cousin of the same name. She scorns hlm wben be confesses bis lave and bis inabil- ity ta marry ber. They meet later in London, wbere she is gaing the pace that kills. Another man, Law- rence Scbofield, wants ta marry ber, in spite of ber wild 11e. Through bis frlend Lombard, Giles Cbittenbam meets the "other Julie," the notariaus woman wbo had ruined Rodney's li1e. She tells him tbati she is gaing ta die; the dactars bave given ber up as incurable and she i leaving England. She is worried~ about ber cousin, the girl Chitten- bam laves. That Jule-bis Julie- is gaing in fast company, among tbem a cammon little American girl named Sadie Barrow. And Sadie Barrow is Giles Chit- enham's wife. He did not know that sbe was in England. That night he meets ber at a party at bis motb- er's bouse. They pretend ta be strangers. Giles lcarns that Sadie Barrow, bis wif e, bas gone in for spiritualism and is attending seances by a mediumj named Chryer.

"Arad-!" She made an impetuous rush ta the doar and opened it. "Wait a moment-" The maid, already bal -way acrossi the litle passage, turned. "Tell Mr. Cittenbam I will see hlm in five minutes," Julie said and went back ta ber bedroom.

"Wbat in tbe warld brings you here at sucb an early baur? I've only just crawled out af bed myself." She spoke rather loudiy and de- fiantly, and she deliberately lef t the doar open behind ber. Cbittenham stepped past ber and closed it, then he came back ta wbcre she stood. "This bas got ta stap, Julie," he said witbout preamble. Julie opcned ber eyes wlde. "Stop?" sbe ecboed blankly. "Wbat bas got ta stap? my getting Up so late, do you mean? My dear man-" He interrupted rutblcssly. "The wbole of this miserable, damnable play-acting bas got ta stop.
