Then she avts a letter from her husband, who sides uith the heirs ofHiitst her. eouino thnt he intends to give up their-home. Chapter 33 THE ANSWER TUDITIl DALE wrote ar answer to ' her husband's lelter at lop speed. then raced down the hill to the Hig Tom posl-offlcG and mailed it before she had time to change her mind. In bed sho tried to remember cer tain portions of her answer, y lie had written, "I'd as soon consider cutting tho honso Into small blta and keeping those parts as I would taking part of the furnishings for myself. Hlllcndale la an entity. To have a part cf It would only remind of what 1 have lost.' Maybe seeing him with Mathllde would cure her of her obsession, dr surely a love which could call fori h tlio acute emotional agony she wan suffering wan an obmsBilon. She turned her face 'nto .ho pll luws and tried to muffle the sobs which shook her entire body, dimly conscious that her physical bclup from the tips of her Iocs to the dreadful pain In her bond was like n sensitive machine racked by a pow nr boyond her control. Tho springs of Delphy's bed creaked and caused her lo catch her breath and Ho quiet a moment. Foot steps shuffled to tho kitchen, there was tho click of metal nn metal and a low-voiced mouologuo on a "dangod contraption tha'll 'cause ma soul to suffa fire tor a cursln' It." Delphy was heating chocolate. The sobs of her mlstross turned to hysterical laughter, and when the old woman shuffled In a few mo ments later alio found Judith laugh Jng and crying In tho same breath. There, there, 'cney lamb; Juss you shut yo' mouth an' drink this chocolate." "How can I Bhut my mouth 'if drink?" inquired Judith, with a hys terical gigglo. I'll rub yo' back down soon's you finish It. Wrought up you are. wrought up, what with dam bulldiu'. ghosts an' fly In' up whoro man's novor spo'sed lo bo you'ro all a quiver." When Judith had finished the "chocolate" Delphy. ignoring hor protests, rubbed sumo homo-made concoction of menthol on Ihe back of her neck and began massaging her neck, her shoulders, her back. When sho awakened tho next morning sho felt that something droadful which had been on the verge of happunlng had happened. Dolphy sorved her breakfast, relat ing somo cholco town gossip as b!ic hovered about tho tnhlo, and Judith, romombcrlng her unselllsh devo tion, protended to onjoy tho flaky biscuits and to lui gh at tho gossip. Tho change In her personal af fairs mado Delphy a fresh problem. Sho should send her back to Nor man or Mrs. Dole. Sho bolougcd to tiiom, but soinuhow, having hor made It soom sho still retained somo hold on her husband. Sho would let Delphy mako tho decision. "Wnen 1 a sued where I ooulc reach him, -he said l had a "iced that hla address bo kept Mvrat. Nor did she know when n could return nor when that addrcM would be available. '(Wult "till 1 take a itory over tho phone . . . Juat a mort, okay, ready to go again) "1 askd to talk to Lampere. He was as smooth as silk, or as usual, and aaltl Norman had left town to rust. 1 asked why his resting made It neccsnary for his name to be re moved and he said Norman had thought it advisable as he was liable lo remain away for several years, might never return, that due to his 'lute embarrassment' (mean In? you and the Kevins money) he mlnht remain away permanently, even taking bar examinations In eoine other state. "1 euid, bologna, and he said, what, and 1 repeated, how Inter esting, may 1 use this In a news Mory. At that he nearly jumped through the telephone at me. "Houover, Judy -girl, In case you don't all ready know It, your hus band Is no longer associated with Morton I.umncro. "Mathlle had ceased grieving In Calveufoti, since Norman won his rnsa and returned here, fine evi dently found she could grieve here as effect I vuty as there and appears now nnd then In public places, dressed In devastating mourning (Iiow thnt girl can make clothes Kp.'iik for her. I almost smiled at Jut tho other day on Texas and Alnin, Jut because of the hat she worn), "And that reminds me. She frntnod Norman Into a picture (.ampere's fdieet uard In their roto ' crnvuie.

Mrs. la e'i shadow, was tint fnr awny. She gracefully effnred herself from M rs. Dale's side so she wouldn't Interfere with the picture, ami sat down clone to Nnrman. Front, having received his orders, tnnk them In this cozy two some, then turned his attention to the other women. "Norman was so absorbed tn his work he didn't know what had happened until he saw the paper. Was ho mad! If I.ampere hadn't hold him ilown he'd have wrecked tlio Union. Krost and a few others. "I wonder If your Innocent Scotch man Isn't getting onto the fact thnt t.ampero Is using this stuff to psychologize the public and get future Jurors Into be lieving thnt Norman Is the man ho htnd Ihe Hevlns women's light for your money." CHE did that evening. Tho grow- lng heat of tho desert spring had driven them to the little porch In front, and Delphy, silent for Mto mo ment, was watching tho approach of tho work train, crawling along like a black Bnako. Sho explnlned tilings briefly, then waited for tho old woman to answer. "Mis9 Judy, d'you mean you don't want mo no mo'?" Bho nskod plain tively. "No, Delphy; not at all. But, ns MIhs Ilovlns said In Llgo's letter, yuu'vo always been with tho Dales." "Miss Judy, nono a tho rest of the Hales needs mo 'coptln' you; and. Visa Judy, I Just got to bo needed.' Tears smarted in Judith's eyes at tho hungor In the old woman's voice, "You'ro right, Dolphy, and I do need you . . . you know that, don't you?" Tlio train was In, tho mall courier coming up tho hill. Judith's heart beat liko a tom-tom In spite of her atom efforts to control a hope whe know lo bo futile. Lettors for her . . . sho scanned tho handwriting. CUa's scruwl, sho toro open the euvolope. pulled out the rough copy paper, and out of tho mans of loiter ing one Hue soomc-d lo stand II tumlned. "Norman baa null (ho firm of Dale, Lampere and Morrison." Judith rend on breathlessly. "The other day In court, some one informed m t tin t Nm iitan Kile's name lm. diapn-arrd tiom the d.Mr uf iim linn s ultlcon. I tele phoned them and the girl told me Nor map was out of town. UDITI1 laid the letter aside for a moment. So that was how that picture was taken, and Norman hadn't known. No longer with Lam poro, ho'd loft tho firm hla grand father had founded . . . that meant either a tremendous concession or a tremondous disillusionment . . . and that was why ho hadn't boon abln lo koep HHIendale; Poor Norman. Sho could seo tho small-boy look of bewildered pain on his fnco. Ho was too fine to tin derstand tho motives behind tho others. "So straight his head touches lils heels at times," Clla had mild. With maternal fear, she won oVred what this cataclysm would do '.r him, embitter him or send his stubborn chin Jutting forward for frcsb battle? If only alio could be with him ... at least she could wrlto with veiled encouragement. Tliero woro other pages of gossip a.irl oilier lottors, but tho sight of Cunard coming up hill waving tolo grams erased them from hor mind. "Wo'vo won this fnr." ho greotcd. "They'ro sending an Injunction In from tho Stalo commission, with rnngers to follow. I'll leave- In tho morning for Au?tln, and arrange to meet Seathborno informally, thon if necessary, we'll havo a hearing." Cunard left nig Tom Town the following morning. "Not that wo'vo won yet, Judy." he admonished. 1 Theso fellows are too slippery to bo trusted. Keep yot.r eyes and ears ' open and whenever Slim comes i down havo him tnko you for an air j erulso over Scathborno's holdings. I'll havo a list of his holdings Bont up from Del Mar." A few days later sho received word that Seathborno had agroed to abandon his dam. "Ho agreed too readily." wrr.to Cunard. "I think ho has something else up his sleevo. Watch for It." Slowly tho days passed. Judith watched tho malls eagerly and arier a lapse of time was surprised to find hr last letter to Norman returned unopened. A post olllco stamp In formed her that tho "Addresjeo has moved, left no forwarding address." Tlio same mall brought word from Lige which stilled tho fear In Jud ith's heart. "Ma'ss Norman hod dress tn his hawkl cloves an' gone hiintin.'." "Mrs. Dale, sho say sho don't know where ho gone, but sho ain't worrying nono so 1 guers sho know. She's lookin" after Hill and Dell, which Is been leoso to MU and Mis ter Do Mao. from Moston, They is French and Boston which is same as I'nited States and they pure Is nice. Rose she like thm tine. They think this house sure 1- pretty and didn't make no change what-all." Judith gave a deep sljjh of rellof. fCnpiric? . by Jeanne Bocman) Judith, tomorrow, Is qlven a riw re j ion to worry.
