Judith Lane bg JK.tWK IIOWMA.S SYNOPSIS: Judith Doll, who luat haa moved into her new home with Jiorman, her husband, haa promlaed her old employer, the engineer, Tom Uevtna, that ehould he die ahe will carry out hie plane to the letter (or hie dam and recla mation protect at Rio Diablo, The taak la complicated bp the tact thii Horman'a law partner ta un derhaudcdly fighting Hevine, and Bevxna' daughter tlathtle la trying to Kin tiorman. Then Tom Bei'lne dice. Chapter IS STRUGGLE BEGINS LIGE, with an eye to dramatic ef fect, made the announcement a proclamation. Judith, a gay Colum bine, was In the act of twirling In Slim Sanford's arms to show Nor man and Poppy Neville, (their new, next door neighbors) how a "swale step" should be executed. Judith paused and stood breath less as the servant swung back the drapes, held up a yellow-palmed hand and said "Ma'ss Bavins Is dald. He dropped dald ten minutes ago. Miss Matilda, she say Ma'ss Norman is to come to hur, soon's he kin git there." Braced against- Sanford's sup porting arm, Judith wondered which pain was the sharper, the fierce throb of Jealousy at Mathlle's command, or the shock of her be loved old friend's death. ' Norman waited only long enough Judith. She should put more warmth In her voice. Clla knew how dear Big Tom had been to her. She'd think her completely heartless. "It seems Mathlle and Mrs. Bevlns were giving a dinner party this evenlug. Bevlns came In, said he was too tired to sit In, and would go on up to bed. "They objected because It would leave thirteen at the table. He sat In. Afterwards he started to his room again but, he was needed to fill In at a bridge table. He filled In. "He played until ten o'clock, com plained of feeling queer, dizzy. While be was dummy be excused himself saying he was going for a drink. He got as far as the door." Tears of pity burned Judith's eyes. Clla saw the closed eye lids. Her terse, dramatic style of relat ing the scene had worked. . "He died Instantly," she con cluded. A GREAT, choking sob tore up through Judith's throat and burst. The sobs went on until Clla, thor oughly frightened, called to ber brother "Telephone the Bevlns and get Norman back here where he belongs." - "No," Judith stood up, crying checked instantly, "he went to her LI to chauge clothes then with a hur- rled kiss to the now drooping Col umblne, rushed for bis car. The guests left, all but the Sanfords. Clla. taking Judith to her room seemed on the verge of caylng ' something several times only to stop, light a fresh cigarette, and dash It out in the nearest ash-tray. "I'll call my office," she said at length and went downstairs. Judith stared Into the mirror, Methodically she removed paint and powder with fresh tlssuo, folded each piece carefully, and toBsed them Into their basket. "Dead," she thought vaguely,, "he's dead, Big Tom." "I sbould feel something," she said aloud to the white faced girl In the mirror. "I really should but I don't . , , Just sort of numb . . . and queer." She slipped out of her costume, then went to her wardrobo, and reached for a robe, made careful selection. She chose one of peach glow, so Norman when he returned wouldn't notice how pale she looked; peach glow with soft older down about the wide sleeves and hem. "Big Tom Is dead and I'm dress ing up." A QUEER noise Intrudod Itself " Into her calm. She went to the window, oponed It. . There wen lights In the servants' quartors and through the unshaded window pane she could see Delphy seated, apron thrown over her head, rocking back and forth and moaning. What a re lief it must be to reloase pent up toolings like that. "Judy," Clla was at tho door,, a tray In her hand. "Sllm'a been tak ing liberties. 1 felt the nond of a cocktail so he shook up one for each of us." "Thanks," Judith accepted the drink, sank Into a chlnlz-frocked chair and sipped, thoughtfully. Of courso Delphy had known 3lg Tom for years. She had, too, She must run down to the office and see him, hadn't been there for a month. But she couldn't, nig Tom wouldn't be there. "I ended the office." ventured Clla. "would you rare to hear what .. what happened T" "Yes , . yes of course," replied the moment she called. 1 won't have him," and then she crumplel Into a heap of peach-glow and eiderdown. Voices were talking In a grey dawn, men's voices. Judith heard them. She listened. "But young man," one was saying, "It those fool Bovlns women had given Tom half the care this young wife of yours gave him, he'd be alive now ... oh, oh, here she comes, feeling better, Mrs. Dale?" Judith opened her eyes. Dr. Kelly was bending over her on one side, Norman was close, his arms sup porting her. Clla and Slim were standing before the window. "Sorry, I didn't mean . . . silly and fomlnlne to taint," she apologized, Incoherently. Afur the doctor and the Sanfords had left, Judith and Norman went to the den, where a crackling hearth lire dispelled some of the greyness of the early morning. Judith, still in the clrclo of Nor man's arm, was surprised when ber husband spoko In a quick, surprised tone of volco. ' "Do you happen to know where Big Tom kept his will?!' "Didn't your office take care of It?" "Originally, but be cancelled hla old one after that Diablo trip. Ac cording to the papers, he died Intestate." "And that means?" "Mrs. Bevlns will Inherit every thing. She surmised she would last night and asked Lampere to act as administrator." Judith started. This waa exactly what Big Tom had feared. With Lampere In control of the money and the company, he would exploit the land for his own benefit. How ever, knowing his physical condi tion as he did, would Big Tom have overlooked anything as Important aa a will? She doubted It "Telamtoam, Ma'ss No'man," said Llge. When Norman turned from his desk, his handsome foaturos wore a peculiarly strained look. 'What Is It?" Judith cried alarmed. 1 And I am married to a million aire stenographer." fCopvUoht, test, by Jeanne Bowman) Judith hn of htr Inhsrltsnos, - tomorrow, VETS MAY ENTER IF ABLE TO L Instructions for veteran, wishing to enroll In the Civilian Conservation i Corps, have been received here by Oli ver L.
