Giles is introduced to Julie Farrow by his friend Lombard, in Switzerland. He resolves to make her fall in love with him, then throw her over as she threw Rodney. She tells him she has made a bet With her friend “Bim” Lennox that she can drive her car to the top of the St. Bernard Pass and back. Giles challenges her to take him with her and she accepts. They start out in the face of a gathering snowstorm. ’Ch'ittenham discovers, to his amaze- ment, that the girl beside him in the car appeals to him as no other woman has ever appealed. And something intangible convinces him that her feel- ing toward him is similar to his own toward her. “Do you believe in love at first sight?” he asks her, as the car toils up the mountain toward the hotel. .' At the hotel, 'after refreshment, ’Ch'ittenham and Julie found their mutual attraction so strong as to be irreSist'ible. In the morning they ! Bred in the bone I suppose!” “Are the two Julies really very much alike, Miss Gardener?" he asked with an effort. Doris hesitated, scarlet lip. “The other Julie is really better looking,” she said after a moment. “Most men call her beautiful, but to me . . well, I used to prefer this Julie until lately.” “You meanâ€"has she really changed so much?” Doris laughed. “It may sound absurd, but she has!

She’s got the biggest scalp collection in London ” Giles made a little movement to rise but Julie was too quick for him. I “Dance with me, Mr. Chittenham!” she commanded. And before he was aware o it Giles found himself back again in the whirling throng, his arm round Julie’s slim body, her hand rest- ing tightly on his shoulder. ' He looked down at her and felt that it must be a dream. The same, and yet such an utterly different Julie to the girl he had held in his arms a few weeks ago. He tried to' think of something to say, but no words would come, and it was Julie who broke the Silence. “Isn’t this a filthy hand?” she said one 'disgustedly.

A man’s voice was an- SWering her laughing words, and presâ€" ently the steps of two people ascended the stone staircase.
