And then her attention was rude ly switched from her own personal feelings to concern over her chief. ''It happened ihls way." Clla sot tied Into a deep chair and lighted a clgoratta with a deliberation which Judith recognized as a forerunner of somotlilng Important. "I.otty Canlield decided to take a post graduate course In matrimony, and I was sent over to Ilia court house to cited: on her first mistake. It was closing tlmo, but I slipped In and promised to latch tho door when 1 left. You know how those tiles aro, don't you?

"Oil. . . ." Judith had forgotten Norman, tho yacht, her lovely frock. Sho was tho stenographer ready to not as a tnodiuni between Uig Tom and a danger which threatened his dam. "Hut, Clin, I'm suro he bought all that was necessary; bought tho da; site from the State for delinquent axes last winter, and the limitation date bus already passed, so they 'can't question his ownership ot that. "At the samo time lie bought all land desoiied by tho lioincsccklii owners, or delinquent tuxes.

The hostess met them on the main deck and propelling Judith gently along by a dollcato pressure op hor arm, came to a stop on tbo after deck where the crowd bad gathered. "Folks," Mrs. Huvins' volco was gonial, friendly, "1 want you to meet Tom's stenographer. Miss Lano.". "Having been catalogued," ob sorved Clla, laughing, "suppose you come along over here and sit with tho only other working girl aboard." Judith followed Clla, slightly be wildered, whllo the crowd laughed good-naturedly. Judith noticed Nor man was in on deck, nor was lllg Tom. Sho sank Into n wicker chair which was pushed out from some wboro, and then saw Norman ap proaching, an exquisitely lovely, girl smiling up Into his face.
