I ; r Captain Proge, who had been un der investigation for a long time, was Just about to bo cleared of all charges, police said, when the secret service "caught an accomplice in tho net" of espionage. Captain Proge was called as a wit ness in tho original investigation of the affair, but his stubborn denials, his good record and the uncertainty of a handwriting expert who .testified caused the government to hesitate to accuse him. The prisoner arrested in Paris was described as "an officer of a foreign power." He was arrested Saturday night, but was held secretly and questioned. The grilling revealed his connection with Proge, the authori ties said. i Authorities gave Proge temporary liberty until today's arrest, however, because they were unable definitely to link him with the disappearance of the plans for the defense of Bel fort against riots and other plans to assure Bel fort, which is near the German frontier, with provisions In time of war.

Judith's husband Norman, however, has sided aoainst her, and ioined his law partner, Morton Lampere, in contesting the will in the interest' of Mrs. Devins and her daughter itathile. a friend of Norman's. Ju dith teams that tampers has treacherously had the court hear ing advanced. Chapter 30 GOOD NEWS THE little town of Big Tom. She liked It; liked the raw pink of frash cut lumber used in the build ings on tho town's main street, the hot dog stands with their inevitable aroma of frying onions, the chill parlors, barber shop, Ike Eplirlam's Emporium, the little proprietor witb kind dark eyes who wrapped a mor sel of philosophy into each package. If she lost control of the Bevins fortune, it would mean' these keen eyed young construction men would go out to look for other work with the unsatisfied feeling of leaving uncompleted work, and for the mass of dam workers there would begin onother forlorn heglra to "another Job it we can And one." She should have been more alert . . . should have. She looked towards the -iky wltb wordless prayer. Two stars seemed to separate from the mass in the heavens, move forward, grow larger. The night lights of an air ship. She heard the muted roar of throe motors, sow the dip of the piano, towards the leveled field Slim Sanford used foi landing. From the small front porch of hor shack, Judith watched the figures of two men approach. She knew that one would be Slim Sanford. The other . . , hor heart beat like a trip hammer with hope that he might be Norman, and then the hope died as the two men swung into a lighted area. The other was Justin Cunard. She rnn downhill to meet them, hor voice caroling before her, "What news?" "Good news," they answored in unison. "Thd" will contest has been can tlnued to late September." "But I thought. ... I heard that It started today?" "No," Cunard had caught her el bow and the three had started back up hill, the older man propelling hor gently forward. "No. thanks to your friend Clla, It didn't start to day. "As soon as she found out that Lampere and Maritellan had slipped the case In earlier than It was sup posed to be on the court calendar, she called them to her office. "She told them what she had heard In the file room of the county court house and said she would make It public If they tried to push tho case forward without giving you a chance to get up here and Judge Morgan a chanco to appear. IJo was out of lown on another case and one of his partners would have had to handle it. "Maritellan said tho docket was full and it would have to bo con tinued to fall. I suppose Lampere thought you couldn't hold out finan cially that long. Maybe you can't, but now that I'm first vlce-prosldenl of the company 1 have tho right to put my personal fortune into It. I talked It over with Mrs. Cunard and she's with me a hundred per cent, so we'll see you through. "And so this morning, when the case was called, Lampere sent Mor rison to represent him. Judge Mor gan's son appeared for him, and Maritellan, a little bit yellow aboul the gills, set It over. I (eel sorry for Maritellan, he's a line white fellow. I'd like to know what hold Lampere has on him." THEY reached the llttlo house -nd Cunard gave It a quick op proving glance. Delphy met them al the door, with a quick Inquiry as to their dinner hour. Satisfied they were ns hungry as she bad hoped they would be she went into the kitchen and tho others sat on the porch to talk. "This will probably mean war down here, Miss Judith." Cunard admitted, when they had discussed Lampere and Maritellan. "Morion Ib clever enough to know that by fall the dam will bo far enough ahead for Judge Morgan to use It as proof that you aro following Big Tom's directions In using his money." "Why didn't he get i court order restraining ber from going on with the dam?" Inquired Slim. "He tried," Judith explained, "tried when he succeeded in getting the Injunction against my use of the njfncy, but there hao?en tooftuch unemployment the past few years for toy human to refuse work to three iundred men. anions as was willing to pay them. "Lampere would have had to go days In La Grande visiting his bro ther, Hal Boone, secretary of the chamber of commerce. He mr-kee his home In Portland. Returns Miss Marian Draper has returned to her home following a weekend visit with Miss Mildred French who is a teacher near Enterprise, Miss Draper Is a student at the Eastern Oregon Normal school. Ends Visit Mrs. Prank Phy has returned to her home here from c-eauie and Wenat ehee where she has spent about a week visiting relatives and friends. From Portland Mrs. John Norris Gregg, nee Hester Hopk 1 ns. arri ved last n lgh t from Portland and will spend a week visit ing at the home of her sister, Mrs. Robert Carey, and friends. before the State Commission and prove the dam impractical from an engineering viewpoint, to have suc ceeded In that and he knew he couldn't do that." They were silent a moment and Judith longed to ask for news of Norman, but was ashamed to admit she knew nothing. "How do you suppose Lampere will wage his war?" Sanford asked, breaking in on her thoughts. "I wish I knew," answered Cu nard, "it will be something inspired by diabolical cleverness." Cunard discussed the city end of the dam building, while the two men did Justice to Delphy's beaten cheese biscuits, potted chicken and coffee. He expressed a desire to make a tour of dam property and said he would be there for several days. Sanford said little. He watched Judith anxiously, remarked she looked tired, and pretended to scold Delphy for starving her mistress, then, as they arose from the table and started to leave, he turned to Judith. 1 have a package hero from Clla. Doggone, must have loft it In the ship, but here's a letter your husband asked me to bring down." You saw him?" she asked, hop ing her voice didn't reveal hor eagerness. No, but Clin did. He dashod Into the courtroom this morning, said he'd Just heard of tho trial starting and told young Morrison quite frankly, that ho didn't like the way their firm was doing business. Clla sidled up to him and wangled a luncheon Invitation out of him. You know Clla. He asked about you and I Imagine she told mm plenty. She would. She told him 1 was flying down tonight and ho asked hor to wait while he wrote a note to send down with mo." "How did he look, did she say?" "No, she didn't. Well, goodnight, Judy, you need some rest. We'll boo you In the morning, adios " AS soon as the two men had left, Judith turned to the letter. Would he be asking for a divorce? "Dear Judith, a hasty note, as Ola's waiting. 1 And It dltllcult lo any what want to sny, perhaps bc causo my mind Is not yet clear. A year ago 1 would have sworn that a woman did not love a man. If she could leave him to work against his Interests, simply becnuso sho believed in what una was doing. "However, I llnd 1 am doing tho same thing. I find my love for you is unchanged, yet under the cir cumstances 1 cannot ask you to re turn to me. "I believe thnt had we neon mar ried longer and our lives welded together with sympathetic Inter ests, tills separation could not have happened. "It has. I shall leave you free to do what you wish, anil I'll try to tie ns fair as you have been In not blaming mo for my stand. 1 love you. Judith. "NORMAN." Judith reread tho note, trying to senso the meaning between lines; trying to rend Into each line more than tho actual words revealed. Did ho mean that In leaving her "free" he wished their separation to be come permanent? Sho felt a moment':; plquo at his sportsmanship. With feminine In consistency sho wished he would rush to her and demand she return to him. She wondered what Slim Sanford would have done under similar circumstances. She reread the last line, "I love you. Judith." There was sincerity there. She would keep faith with that line, and maybe time and des tiny would do the rest. She slept better that night than sho had slept for some time, per haps because having beard from Normun, she entertained neither false hopes nor fears. She remem bered Big Tom's plea that she be patient with Norman, and promised herself that she would be patient; a promise she waa to laugh at with bitterness. Breakfast, Cunard and Sanford arrived simultaneously. Judith en Joyed the festlvo air which seemed to permeate the little dwelling with their coming. Later a stable boy brought up three horses and the trio started on their tour of Inspection. Judith felt pardonable pride in the friendly loy alty of the men whom they met at every step of their Journey. When Cunard expressed a desire to meet Scogglns, after learning who held the salient point of land Jutting Into the main flood basin of the dam, thoy rode down to the Scogglns farm and wero Invited to stay for dinner. Back to Big Tom Town and Ju dith's shack and Cunard announced that on tho next day he would like to mako an air tour of the Rio Diablo country. To Judith, who had covered near ly every step the year previous, the air trip was fascinating. I Copyright. 19St.by Jeanne Bowman) Monday. Judith goes to Mexico.
