TRAGIC INCIDENT
THE iloplng green roof, the film
pillars, the green shutters, tbe
tiny balcony Jutting out above tbe
entrance, each bad been dreamed
out by the two of them, aketched
roughly on letter backs, then
turned over to the architect
Slowly she entered and stood In
the hall, pulling off tight gloves.
Delphy came In from the kitchen.
"Lawz-ee, you Is late "
"What are all the lights on for,
Delphy?"
"Ma'ss Norman, be say there's a
mite a company comln' t'nlte. Mis
and Mis Bevln and Mis Dale and
Mlsta Lampscar "
"Norman," Judith turned to her
husband who had come Into the
hall from his den, "Is Lampere com
ing here?" 1
up "Ma's Lampere, he say he'd
like to talk to Mlz Dale, alone. . ,
"Tell him Mrs. Dak has retired,"
said Judith.
She shrugged out ot jacket and
skirt, went to tbe wardrobe, reached
In and drew out the first robe. She
had slipped Into It before she real
ized It was the ermine trimmed
peach-glow she had worn the nlgbt
of Tom Bevlns' death.
"Norman, was It Lampere's Idea
they meet here?" she asked as she
stood before him tying the folds of
belt.
"Yes, but he came at my Invita
tion." Judith stood on tiptoe, slipped
white .arms about his neck and
brought bis head down to hers
"N'ormy, l understand so much
more than you think j do. I'd like to
tell you my side of the story, but It's
useless, you're too prejudiced to un
derstand. Kiss me goodnight and
toll ihem down there that I'm . . ,
oh I know a nice Lampere effusion,
"prostrated from the ordea. of the
afternoon.' "
UT when he bad kissed her lln-
gerlngly, and had left her she
was no longer poised, cool and self
contained. She trembled with a ner
vous chill and Delphy, coming up,
snuggled her Into a blanket in a
deep chair and brought a pot of hot
' wrilrU tT'M
"Yes. I Invited those Immediately
soncerncd with the Bevlns will.
Judith; 1 hope we can settle this
jnlotly among ourselves." -
"You mean you are bringing thorn
all here to my home?"
"It's my home too, Judy."
"But my only sanctuary, We can't
ever erase what might happen here
tonight."
"It's too late now. Better have
your dinner."
Judith straightened, "You may
bring them here, Norman, but as my
rotations with them are purely bust'
ness I can refuse to see them out'
side my office. 1 do refuse-1"
"Judy . . ." There was pleading In
hi? voice, his face wore a harrowed
, expression. "Don't you see what
we're doing to each other?"
Judith gave one tiny cry, startled,
hurt, then flow Into his arms
"Normy, why must this happen to
us? she whispered, "I can't go back
on my word and I love you"
"Then you will see Lampore?" ht
asked.
'"pHEY walked upstairs. Judith re-
moved bor smart little hat and
tossed It to the counterpane,
"Norman," she asked, "can't you
see how useless It would be tor me
to talk to Lampero? It Is Impossible
for us to meet on any common
ground, It would only cause heart
ache for you, as for me. I'm so trem
bly from this afternoon, I don't be
lieve I could unnd anything more."
"Judith, It 1 thought you under
stood everything about the case; It
1 thought I could present it lo you
b Lam as every other keon mind
ed man sees It, then I'd do It and let
you judge their views and t ie antl
qua I ort onea of our old friend. Impar
tially." Judith shook hor bead wonrlly.
Big Tarn had even known Norman's
reaction. Lampero was his senior
partner, his father's friend.
"Norman, It's useless." Judith
lapped kid gloves to the dressing
table to emphaslio the statomcnt.
"Either you love me enough to car
ry on through this, or . . ." she hold
out her hands, pink palms up..
The door bell shrilled through tbe

After the old colored woman had
left, her kindness hung about Judith
like an aura, a comforting aura. She
looked out ot the window on the
swale and beyond to the grove of
trees stretching east. She 'oved It
all . . . this homo, and Norman,
She drowsed a little, then sat up
alert as Mathlle's laugh sounded
from the hall. Judith thought ot the
sob scene In tho office that after
noon. The sound ot motors came from
the driveway, meshing of gears,
then silence. Soon Norman would
come up and they would discuss
things and perhaps find a way to
compromise.
Tho moon was topping the grove
as It bad topped the Oulf horizon
that night . . . eons ago It seemed
to Judith. She had stood on the
trawler dock and watched the shadows.
There bad boon a triangle and
she with the strange premonition ot

One black bar had dissolved . . ,

CHURCH TREASURE
DEATH COMES TO
ASUNCION, Paraguay. (AP)
Dozens of Catholic parts hers In Par
aguay, which have looked forward
for 60 eyara to the building oi
churches with gift left in road
shrines or chapels, .have deferred
their hopes by giving the gold to help
wage war against Bolivia in the Oran
i Chaco.
j Of more than half a- ton of gold
In brooches, rings, combs, earrings,
j rosaries, plate and other ornaments
! given to the national treasury for its
war chest, a large part has come
' from the churches. Many of them
turned in accumulations dating from
1870, when they divested themselves
of their wealth to aid the Lopez dlc
' tatorshlp in Its war against Argen
tina, Brazil and Uraguay.
The biggest donor of gold In the
Chaco war has been the' parish of
Caacupe, seat of a shrine which Is
to Paraguay what Lourdes Is to the
devout of France and Europe. Oold
and jewels given as thank offerings
to the Virgin of Caacupb, by thou
sands of pious Paraguayan pilgrims
were estimated to have passed in
value a million Paraguayan pesos, or
about 4140,000.
Virtually all of this wealth, In
cluding some trinkets dating from
the Spanish conquest, has been giv
en to the government to be melted
down into bullion.
The chapel of the Virgin of
Caacupe, 75 miles southeast of Asun
cion, dates from 1760.
