PGE ETflTTT BEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, MARCH 18, 1934. ludith Lane j SYNOPSIS: Judith Lane and her fiance Norman Dale, are re turning on a trawler from the Rio Diablo, where Judtth'e employer. Dig Tom Uevine hae completed eurveye lot a dam that will reclaim the Diablo valley and aid Ite im poveriehed eettlere. Now Judith And that Norman, who le junior partner In the Uoueton law firm that bandlee the legal buelneee of Bevinf big engineering and con trading firm, instate ihat the give up her panltion when they are mar ried. Judith anreee to epeak to Btvlne. and flnde that he ie not eurorleed. Chapter Six ORDEAL FOR JUDY npOM BEV1NS went on: "Yon forget I've known Nor man all of Ills life, lived In tbe same block wltb blm since tbe day be was born. He Is as generous as ran be wltb tbings be likes, bnt be won't sbare anything he loves wltb any one. "1 remember a woolly lamb be bad when be was a little tike. He loved that thing, wouldn't put It In his play box for fear my daughter Mathilda would get IL And of course that was the very thing she wanted . . . but this Isn't getting to work Is It, Judy?" Judith shook her bead. She had almost forgotten Big Tom had a daughter, sbe spent so much of ber time away at school, or abroad. 8he when they admitted a desire foi them to marry. "What makes you think she does?" "Wants to sell our home. The city has grown up around It until It's like living In a boiler factory. Then of course you know, mother Is a bridge fan and I'm tempted to believe she'd like to move Into some residential hotel where she would have enougb partnora to play from dawn to dawn." "Oh," Judith's tone was lees skeptical, "but you have such a love ly home. Clla pointed It out to me one day." Sbo waa silent a moment and Norman, turning, saw her brow fur rowed. "Now what's worrying you?" he asked. "Just this." She turned towards blm, booted feet braced to the sway of the deck, as they turned Into tbe channel, bands In breeches pockets, khaki sblrt open a' the throat. "Norman, you're everything 1 shouldn t marry all rolled up into one man. You're an Indoor man and I should marry an out-of-door man. You'll approach a problem from tbe ethical side and I'll approach It from the scientific. You have a social background and I baven't any at all-' "Judy, listen. If we married our prototypes the world would go to seed. Suppose the tall men married tall girls, the short ones short girls, tne doctors doctors " "And lawyers lawyers?" "Mother nature baa to shuffle them up to give each generation a fresh deal. All tbat's needed to make a success of marriage Is enough love." "Norm," there was mischief In Ju dith's voice, "what's enough?" pHEY had entered the harbor. Against the burnt orange after- STATE'S LIQUOR would like to have heard more of Norman's childhood. "About your leaving mo," Bavins went on. "I had supposed you would want to be free as soon as our sur- voy reports were completed, so I made arrangementt for young Qood win to take your place. Of course I'm selfish enough to have wanted ' you In tbe Hold while the dam was under construction, but then . . ." be . shrugged bis shoulders. "We could wait until It was an- . lshed," offered Judith, "No no," protested Bevlns quick ly, "I want to see you married to the boy. I couldn't bave wanted a floor lad for my own son" be stopped as though startled by an Idea, then went on "sort of feel I'll be doing Erall -. favor seeing his daughter safe . . ." his voice dwin dled off and he looked out across the Intense blue of the Oulf as though he were seeing far beyond Judith's physical vision. ' Judith watched Mm, grey eyes tender. Next to her father's mem ory she loved Big Tom. They spent so much time together. Unhappy at home, be would wait until his wife and daughter started one of their Innumerable trips, then would visit Judith's apartment, content to min gle with her friends. She was heartened by the thought that he might use hor borne, hers and Norman's, as a rotroat from his loneliness. "CUPPOSB we got after these re ports," suggosted Bovlns. and the two bent their heads over maps and note books filled with figures. Twilight was sweeping up from the east when Judltb and Norman found time to be alone together again. Galveston, still bathed In the last rays of the sun, but showing twinkling jetty lights, lay to the starboard. "Did I toll you 1 sent a wire to mother from Rio Msr?" Norman In quired as they stood on deck. "Oh." It was a quick breathed re ply. Of course be had a mother, but she'd forgotten Mrs J. Anthony Dale must play an Important part In their life. "Hope she'll like me." "Sbe will. She's been wanting me to marry and move Into a bouse of my own for a long time." Judith winced. Mothers of only tons usually had the girl chosen glow, ships at anchor wore blocked In charcoal lines on a saffron bay. One, a pleasure yacbt, was fes tooned with lights, disclosing a gay party on the after deck. Men In flannels, girls In 81 ray summer frocks. "Good hoavons," said Norman, "there's Big Tom's yacht wltb a party aboard. I'll bet they're bore to meet us." Judith took one dismayed look at the yacht, another at her worn j khaki shirt and breeches, a third at Norman. Was sbe to enter bis world looking like this? Norman looked down at Judltb, then out at the yacht where bis friends were assembled. "Norm," Judith was tugging at his sleeve, "I can't go aboard look ing like this." "Judy." he answered, loyally, "looking like that you'll stampede the orowd." "You're comforting," shk ad mitted, then noticed the yacbt'a ten der pulling 'longeldo, and seated In the bow a large, One looking woman. "Hollo, Mother," shouted Nor man. The woman .waved. "Hello, son, whore's my girl?" judltb had a distinct desire to ory. No mother of an only son bad any right to be so sporting. Tbe wire telling of their engagement must have come aa a shock. She couldn't possibly be over Joyed at meeting a girl of whom she probably never heard before, fCopyrioat. Jl, by Jeanne Bowman; Judith hears Monday, of a plot Sfialnit Bovlns.
