SYNOPSIS: Norman invited Tom Kevins' tttdow ami daughter, Mathile, with Morton Lampcre, their attorney, to his home to diacUaa the licvins vitl tanglo. Norman'a wife, Judith, has been left the lievina fortune and instructions to carry out Kevins' plan for a dam on the tiia Diablo. Lampcre. althoxtfjh Norman's fcito partner and former uftuntey for lievina, wishes to break tho will and build the dam for his' men benefit. Judith refuses tn see the visitors, and goes to bed to think over the tangle,, vi Chapter 20 THE RIFT BIG TOM was projecting himself from tho other side of death Into Judith's thought, by cleverly pre conceived communications. ' To Norman, Morton La in pore, his partner, his father's partner before him, was a person to be admired, al most revered. His word would weigh more than that of a young girl. Lam pere was a friend of a lifetime, and Norman had known her a compara tively short time. Perhaps Norman was right, and she with her self assurance was wrong. Perhaps Lam pere was right 1 She weighed this thought as she looked out on the terrace where the lights which had blocked yellow ob longs on tho greens ward were sud denly blotted out 11 ' She would discuss this with him and if he could prove her wrong alio would gladly make any concession. She prepared for bed, turned on the bed lamp to let him know she was awake, then waited. , She heard Delphi's 1 goodnight, then Llge's, heard the kitchen door close and voices In the servants' cottage. And then she heard Nor man coming up the steps. He stopped In his dressing room, then a few moments later wont' out by the hall door; down the corridor to the guest room. The door of the guest room opened, the hall lights flashed off. The door closed. Judith turned oft tho lamp, a hot pain cutting through ber. What bad happened to make Norman do such a thing? Muthlle's laughter echoed la her ears, but it was not her in fluence, more likely Lampore's. Ho was wise in tho ways of women, he knew it would take firm determina tion .o keep her from Becking Nor man, and In the end giving in to bis wishes. ! She slipped from the bod and went to a& open window. A soft wind, faint echo of the previous evening's galo came In with the breath of sleeping fields. The sorvaiits' cot tage was a dark squart topped with moon icing. The little stream was a trickle of quicksilver among the shale. Judith looked . L It and shuddered. She felt as though there were tears In her heart which trickled bng like quicksilver. All of her life she had wanted to belong to Bomeone. Her father, em balmed in grief ai. her mother's pass Ing, had been companionable, but slio had felt her love for him was , more maternal than his ft-as pa ternal. Big Tom, in his loneliness. had filled this need. But Norman , . . she knew IT bo wore to come In, 'slip an arm under her pillow for a cushioned rest, and she were to awaken knowing he was there, her 'trust would bo thrown to the winds for fear of nights to come when thero would be no pro tecilng arc of arm. And 'yet 'slm ki.'eiv If tills hup pened she would hate hcrsclt, and In time turn bitterly oil Norman for causing her to disregard her own sense. of what was right. 'rELPJlY, round eyed, brought her orango juice at the usual hour She surveyed the untouched pillow said nothing, but tucked Judith In 'with unnecessary (borouglme.M con sidering she was about tr rise. Then, glass clinking on tray, she stalked down the hall to the guest 1-ooin. . Judith chose her mpmlng frock with a deliberate Intent to charm. She had one Qt yellow linen, em broidered in marguerites, that Nor n.an hadn't seen. She put this on. brushed her black balr until it &hoe like lacquer, erased the tell-tale signs of sleepless early hours with clever artifice, then went for a stroll li: the garden. There were a few daffodils bloom Ing. Judith studied their linclng beads, hesitated, then regretfully snipped the long stems. Back In the breakfast room she laid the table with green grass linen, a Bavarian breakfast set of Ivory rininrd with field flowerF. It was gay, that breakfast table The sun slanted In through open windows and waimed Judith, who Btood thrusting the stems of the daffodils Into an Ivory frog. Upstairs, Norman was splashing around, slamming doors with early morning thoroughness, fu tb kitchen Delphy was banging pans as If venting anger on the aluminum ware, and on tbe driveway LI go was Industriously- raking wind scraps Into small heaps and burning thorn, tho small pyramids sondlng up woodsy lucense in quivering spirilla. Judith hummed as 'buq worked. She heard the' newsboy throw a paper to the porch, lulled to Ltge that she would get It and went out. Two morning newspapers lay there. She picked them up. unrolled them and smoothed them out; looking down towards the highway.' ' As she turned to go In she glanced down, and stopped short. There, staring up at her was her latest photograph, her best. In the next column was one of Mathile Rev In a. Between them were heaped iketched bags of money, five million dollars printed thereon. Below was a picture of Norman. ' , Stunned she read the caption: "Rightful Heir to Devlna Money to Sue Millionaire Stenographer." Her eyes rejected thfa for aomo thing more surprising "Lampero plays trump .card. Firm of bale, Lam pere and Morrison to take up Bevins fight. Husband may fight Wife in Effort to Regain Money for Boyhood Sweetheart." Judith stood on the veranda until she had' completed the newspaper story. It was an Interview given by Morton Lamporq. . , "Wo havo tried to be lenient with Mrs. Dale, because of her husband, said Mr. La in pere, followInK the meeting hold in the olllces of the Ucrlns Construction Company, "hut obviously, the power which comes with such a sum of money has Rono to her head. "We' anticipate no1 difficulty In breaking the will becnustt we linvo plenty; of evidence to provo that the young la tly used undue Inlluonco In causing the aged geaUauian ' .. , ' "Aged gentleman," tried Judith aloud, "the Idea of calling Tom Bov ius aged at sixty-two!" i "to change hln will during the Ill ness which took his UfoJ "Sly partners and I will exert every effort to see that justice Is done to the bereaved Widow and young daughter." . , f ' The newspaper In" fairness had given the same prominence to tho story of the reorganization of the Bevins Construction Company. Tboy used In their load the fact that the thrco hundred workors at tho dam, due to her spirited refusal to com ply with a request for reslgnatlOD. would not loso a day's work. Judith foil heartened by this, but somehow everything save one line appeared to her to bo wrltton about someone other than 'herself. Tbe th e that burned Into her mind was: "Husband may fight wlfo to re gain money for former swoetheart," VTO wonder, thought Judith, that 1 Mathile Bovlns' had laughed that triumphant Taugh nioaul, sbo now knew, for her ears. No wonder, Norman had been unable to face her. She walked into the dining room "Delnhy'sho called, "remove my plate." This dono, she folded the news taper to that artlclo and tipped It up against the bowl of daffodils that Nurmau might see It when he sat 'down. Sho went then to tho tele phone, called a cab. then went to her dressing room, locked the doors and packed her bags. Norman met her at the Joor'na sao was leaving "Judith," no pro insteij, as liq saw her baga. , "You should thank tut, Norman," shu returned, "' m simply making tilings cay for you. Lampero told 'us a wife cnuld not uppear against her husband and that rule works both wuyB. Deserilon will prqvldo ou with grounds for divorce and you can , . . as the morning paper as, 'fight youi wife .o obtain mil lions for your former swoetheart.' " She was down the steps,, tho startled cab driver behind her-"-"f!o the Ilice." sho said When they wore on the highway she gave CHa's ad dress. Because alio worked for a morn lug newspaper, Clla worked nights and so was still in bed when Judith arrived. She looked up from the telephone sho had wrangled to within arms reach of tho bed. then spoko Into the mouthpiece "here sho comes with Reno In ber eye. If I don't mistake the signs she'll sob It out my motherly shoulder, "Okay, Slim. I'll call you later, stick around the field, I may need you." . She slammed the receiver on tbe hook "Had coffee?" sho asked, "then lake two steps !cf and bring up lohgairie that gas plate. 1 don't apeak English until I've had two cups and three clgarets. You'll find the coffee In that little do-funny on top of my dresser." fVopvriaht. t'Jl. by Jeanne fioumnn) Totiorro-.v, CNj fllvet time good ditch: on his father's farm1 .
