Chapter Three
THE INTERVIEW
CLIA'S quick laugh caused several
diners to look at the two girls
"you would remind me I was sup
posed to be working, Instead of en
joying myself. Walt until I finish this
salad and I'll begin on you.
"There . . . now this Is the Idea.
Someone at the Engineers' luncheon,
today, said that the averse stenog
rapher thinks that all iio needs to
kold down a Job Is a Hollywood face
and a Follies figure.
"Fellow named Kline said It his
office orcameut worked halt as hard
on the typowrller. as she did on her
face, both her face and his letters
would look better. He said there
couldn't be a perfect stenographer
fcdeause "
"Yes, I know the rest," Inter
rupted Judith. "Big Tom confessed
his part also. I'm willing to admit I
haven't the brains of an Elnateln,
the patience of Job nor the endur
ance of a Robot, but 1 must have
considerable talent as an actress to
make him think so." She laughed at
the expression on Clla's face and
added, "What else would you like to
know?"
: "How can a glr become a perfect
stenographer."
: "By following a simple, sevon
worded rule."
"What la it?"
"Find an employer like Big Tom
Bevlns."
Cila was delighted with the an
swer. "Anything you'd like me to
say?" she asked. "I know nearly
every detail of your checkered ca
reer. I know how you wanted to
become an engineer and wby you
took up stenography. I know bow
you took a shabby three-room attic
that looked like a turret with an
underslung Jaw and made It look
like an up-to-date pent house,
"Think I'll use that picture Cal
took of your place last August . . .
and then a close-up he took when
he was testing out his new studio
light."
"CUa," Interposed Judith eagerly,
"why not have your staff artist
sketch a figure of a Robot with
Einstein hair sitting under a gourd
Tine, that's what Job sat under,
. wasn't it? I'd much rather you
wouldn't use my picture."
JUDITH'S wUh was granted. Next
morning with Big Tom chuck
ling, they read Clla's story and
dipped the cartoon from the news
paper to be framed, then thoy turned
to business. '
"Notify the expedition personnel
to meet us at the Turning Basin,
Pier 24, June 1st at six a.m. Bettor
buy yourself a new pith helmet; Its
going to be hotter than Hados. How
about the cook's wife, will she go
along? Fine. That will protect your
reputation from the biddies . . .
catch that telephone, Judy."
"Bevlns Construotlon Company
... Oh good morning Mr. Dale, Mr.
Bevlns? Yes, Indeed . . . I'm fine . . ."
She handed the telephone to her
employer then turned to her type
writer "ratatat ratata ratatlngl"
went the typewriter and ratatata
went Judith's heart
"That was Norman Dale, Judy,"
Interrupted Bevlns, "be phoned to
say he'd make the trip to Rio Diablo
with us, representing his firm, you
know"
'
"Norman Dale telephoned to say
he waa making the trip to Rio Diablo
with us."
Three months, nearly four had
passed since Tom Bevlns had looked
across his desk to whore his stenog
rapher sat typing, and relayed the
telephone message.
BEAUTY OPERATOR'S
BODY IS RECOVERED
PORTLAND, On.. March 14. (AP)
The body of a young womnn, Iden
tified M that of Dorothy Ondls Al
len, 25, miulng beauty parlor em
ploye, was recovered from the WIN
THE FLAVOR
Judith, a sun bronzed girl In khaki
shirt and breeches, high boots and
broad Lrlmmed campaign hat,
thought of that moment many times
as the red gold days which followed
winged along.
The trip was worse than Big Tom
had anticipated. The Rio Diablo val
ley had been held for two years In
the tenacious grip of an unrelenting
sun. The Devil River bad dwindled
In size until It wound through Ha
rock ribbed channel like a red hot
wire. The plains cupped up like a
copper brazier, bound by a far circle
of red-gold hills.
"TpHB native families were starving
and the expedition, sharing ra
tions brought In by occasional mult
tralnB from the Quit coast, grew
bone-thin and taciturn. And ai
though the heat had burned the
dross of artificial living from each,
Judith watched a new Norman Dali
emerge.
She sat on the hillside now, watch
ing him In the valley below. Thi
fearful drouth was about to bi
broken by a storm which might
equal the drouth in its intensity. .
Fear bung over the natives like a
visible cloud, their cattle were low
ing uneasily, the pack mules were
fretful, even the expedition men,
moving with swift offlclency as they
mude ready to carry every movable
thing 'to the one high spot within
reach before the storm struck, .
seemed oppressed. .
Through it all Dale's voice could
be heard, calm, ebecrfvl ,. .
"MIm Lano," a smi'l hand tugged
at her sloove. "You've been slttln'
there and a thlnkln' and you haven't
told the rest of the story. Y'sald the
prince and Cinderella were married
and then you atopped . . . what comes
after?" .
' "I'm sorry," Judith's voice soft
ened as she looked down Into the
circle of eager faces peering Up at
her. "The prince and Cinderella
were married and lived happily ever
after."
''Ever after?" piped the Binall one
who had snuggled close as the black
pall of clouds spread over them.
"Ever after!" repeated Judith
firmly and smiled at the tall figure
below, who had started plodding up-
hill behind a pack train carrying
housohold goods.
Last night, when a white moon
had turned the valley to' Old gold,
she had promised to spend her ever
after with him.
She had wanted to work at hla
side now, but Big Tom had pointed
out the necessity of keeping up the
native children's morale and she
had kept their eyes from the ap
proaching danger by keeping them
focused on herself as she told them
stories.
'Top says this storm's goln' to
be a hum-dlngor and we'll be lucky
It any of us gits out nllve," offered
a touslod haired boy on the outskirts
of the circle.
"You've lived here through other
storms havon't you, Tommy?" in
quired Judith, calmly.

WASHINGTON, March !4.-(AP)
Conciliation rather than a knock
down, drag-out combat between the
president and congress over veterans
benefits was urged upon the house
Tuesday.
It came up with the question of ac
cepting the mult i-mil Honed senate
liberalization of the economy act. The
democratic leadership doesn't want
this done, but settlement has tcFwalt
until tomorrow.
The Bankhead cotton control bill
waa taken up this afternoon In the

WOLFE ESTATE NEAR
PORTLAND, March 14. (AP) The
will of Adolphe Wolfe, Portland phil
anthropist and founder of Llpmin,
Wolfe St company, leaving an estate
estimated at about $250,000, was ad
mitted to probate -today. He died on
March 4.
Andrew Koerner, attorney who pre
sented the will for probate, explain
ed to the court that it was difficult
to estimate the value of the estate
due to the fact the Wolfe had given
away so much of his money, partic
ularly In recent years.
