MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, APIUL 4, 1934. PAGE RIX Judith Lane 1 .,..( I'M a: Judith Dale has left Sorman Date, her husband. rr eaorf to carry out tie instruc tions of Bio Tarn Bevlns, her tar : mer employer, to build the Hio Diablo dam with the money he tet her lor the purpose has estranned them. Norman has elded vtlth Mor ton Lamperet trencheroue ally o the Uevlns heirs and Norman's law partner. Judith has gone to the apartment ol her friend Clla. Chapter 21 RETURN "TVTOW, out with It," ordered Clla. A1 "How did you know I'd left Norman?" Inquired Judith guile lessly. Clla shouted, "Honey, if. you'd worn an electric sign spelling 'Reno Bound,' It wouldn't bare shown any plainer. Aside from that, srery sheet In town has telephoned to ask your best friend . . . that's me In case you don't know It . . . when you Intend divorcing Norman." Judith reached for one of CUa'i clgarets, lighted It and pulled awk- wardly "not going to," she an' nounced, "he's going to divorce tne." 'What!" Clla sat upright, sur prised for the first time. "That's why I'm here, to make It easy for him." "Judith Dale, do you mean to sit there and tell me that Norman has said be Intends divorcing you?" 'No, be didn't but the newspaper : said" "Judy, begin at tbe beginning. She did and when she bad com. pleted her story Clla reached for the telephone "How you ever reached tbe age of twenty-four without the squirrels stuffing you Into some old hickory tree Is beyond me . . . yes operator, Olencourt 58- 3200 . . . divorce you," she sniffed, "you poor Infant, don't you know ;.. that's what Lampere's after? "With Norman standing by you he can't touch you . . . hello ... oh, Delphy. this Is Miss Clla, Is Mister Norman In ... oh ... oh I see. when? All right, yes, she's here, Delphy, but she'll be back hom. In about an hour. Oh yes you will," to the pro testing Judith. She slammed the receiver Into place, then darted to her clothes closet and In a few moments re turned, ready for the street "Come on, we're getting out to illllendale before It's too late , , . trot along, Where are my car keys, 1 wish someone would Invent a car key with a bell that rang when you whistled ... oh tbere they are, right by my purse." "Now," she said as they threaded traffic, "Norman has gone to Gal veston. He bad to be In court at ten o'clock. He left a letter for you with Delphy and the poor old woman Is nearly frantic." , Judith felt. her face flush. Had she acted too, hastily? But the news- ' paper article surely she couldn't have remained In the bouse with Norman under the circumstances? "If you'd read that properly you'd have discovered the whole thing came from Lampere." was Clla's comment. , ...... Delphy was on the porch, her wrinkled black face puckered with worry "Mis Dale, I sure Is glad you Is back, that there telamfoam has been rlngln' Its tool head, off. I say, Mis Dale way out In the gar den, leave yo' nuniba an' 1 see she call you." "Delphy you're a gclden hearted . diplomat," Clla said. Dolphy questioned the diplomat but she knew the meunlng of a gold en beart and went off for her In ' evltable pot of hot chocolate, "Mis Dale was that white In tbe face." JUDITH went to her room, Nor man's letter in her band. Would he say he was through or . . . she lilt the envolope. "Judy, my dear, I'm rushing for Galveston, driving, have to be In court Bt ten. Only court could Keep me from llndlng- you and telling , you how foolishly you have lumped to conclusions Knowing me. could you think 1 . would handle the light against the lisvlns will, with you as defend ant? 1 know how true your mo tives are, I've never doubted you nor them for an Instant My only concern has been that you see things In thetr trus light and not distorted by even admirable senti ment.

Lampere, Mother and myself trkd to thrash things out last night but, as far as I wtm concemod, got nowhere. Under the present circumstances It seems ' as If I must maks a choice between love and ethlos. It Isn't easy to leave a firm, founded by one's grandfather, especially when prac- ,! tlcaliy all of my money Is ellhsr In that or In Iflllendole. Without the firm's backing I don't know that we could carry on with our , home. I didn't corns near you last night because I could not trust myself to think with sanity. If you were In my arms.

Cavcnnugh, a Chicago ...nU, dear, I'll be back some ti. tomorrow night, If there Isn't an delay at court. Hemember you have all of my love, Norman. "He'ah's yo' choc-late, Mis Dale." Judy looked up. Delphy was at tbe door, watching her anxiously. Ju dith didn't want the beverage but she did appreciate the affection of the old woman "Thanks Delphy. It's just what 1 need ... did you offer some to Clla?" Delphy cackled "I su-ah did, an': you should a heard that girl talk up to me. Are you all right now, Mlz Dale? Don't y'all reckon Llge better turn on th' furnace?" Judith shook her bead and smiled a radiant smile. She had wondered at Delphy's sudden Insistence upon using Mrs. Dale, Instead of her cus tomary Miss Judith. It was as though she sought to hold her to the estate of Norman Dale's wife by a constant reminder. She sat a moment considering Norman'B letter. She had thought she could see his side before. She bad seen It but never felt It; now she suffered with him. She folded the letter and put It Into her hand bag. Tbere would be & way out of their difficulties. If they could Just talk things over, tbere would be some way of compromising. QUE followed Delphy downstair! to And Clla out-of-doors on her kneis, picking violets "Judy, you're not bright," she said looking up. "The Idea of glvlng up a home like this Just to tickle your temper." She arose, hands busy with tbe pur pie-headed blossoms, looked up for a brlof moment, caught tbe expres sion on Judith's face and looked down quickly. "What are you going to do now?" ' "It 1 did what I wanted to do. I'd fly to Galveston on my own wings and tell Norman what a ninny I've been." "Why tell him, he knows It? But I! you want to fly, I'll phone Slim. You realize of course be'd beat Ad miral Byrd's time to the south pole if you crooked your little flnger." Judith laughed "I'd prefer tht Treasure Isle, It he would take me, and leave here In time to got down there for dinner." A telephone conversation with Slim Sanford assured her she would see Norman that night, so Judith went about the business of the new company. She had asked the members to bold a morning session without her, so after lunching with Clla, In the frlondly clatter of the Rice Grill, she went to the bnnl. to take the papers from her safe deposit box and with Clla's assistance to carry them to Judge Morgan's office. Pausing at the door, Clla Just be hind her, she looked In to see thir teen men. Instead of the seven who had followed her the preceding day A gasp from Clla, and a pull on her Jacket made hor hosltate, then turn back. "See that chap wltb tbe cat-ln-tbe- cream expression and the salt and pepper pants?" demanded the red head. "He handled the undercover work tor Marltellan's election." ' That moans he's representing Lampere." Judith caught the Implt cation quickly. "Clla, how soon can you give me something definite on him? Those men are mostly engi neers. They won't know him and 1 don't want him In on our plans." I'll telephone our political edi tor, then call you Into Morgan's pri vate office as soon as I'm ready." Judith entered, was greeted with warm cordiality and led to the head of the long table by Justin Cunard. There she sat and listened to a report of what had occurred that morning. Her mind, frbe of worry since Norman's letter, was completely engrossed In the prob lem before ber. Cunard bad Just concluded when Judith was called to the telephone In the Judge's private office. Clla motioned for her to take the re ceiver and listen to the political editor's roply to hor question. When Judith returned to the board room her manner was brisk, alert "Mr. Cunard," she said, "before going further 1 would like to greet the new members of our board and moot the one whom 1 haven't met." Judith spoke briefly to the men whom she had remembered seeing during previous meetings when the had acted as Tom Bovlna' secretary, then she turned to the stranger. And Mr. Scathborne, J. 0. Scath- borne, acting proxy for Carl Matblt who Is In the east," explained Cunard. Mrs. Dale, Mr. Mathlc asked me to extend his heartfelt sympathy and most sincere congratulations," began Scathborne.
