Mathlt . . . Just a 1V1 minute.'' said Judith as If try ing to recall the name, "Oh jres. now I remember, he was the gentle man who left town 10 hurriedly when the last election scandal was being Investigated . . . something about buying blocks ot votes from Itinerant oil field workers. "Why . . . why ..." sputtered Ecathborne. "You'll forgive me If I'm wrong, but It seems to me I heard some thing about a matter of five thou sand dollars passing between Ma- this and some gentleman with name similar to yours. Laropere, believe, provided the money for the-" "Mrs. Pale, I didn't come here to be Insulted," snapped Scathborne. "There are nicer places, aren't there," Judith said consolingly, "but suggest to Mr. Lampere that next time he send someone not labeled with a cancelled check." "Are you psychic?" demanded Justin Cunard pleasantly, In the si lence which followed the slamming door. . ; "No," Judith laughed with the others, "but I have a friend on a newspaper, which Is practically the same thing. She came to the door with me and recognized our departed guest. However," and now she spoke seriously, "It means, gentle men that Lampere will not hesitate to plant bis men In our midst to say. or to cause dissension." "He was more subtle," said one of the new members, "be tried to minimise your Importance In such a gentle way we scarcely recognlred his Intentions." ; The rest of the afternoon pasced swiftly, and shortly before sundown, Judith drove to the airport where 811m Santord awaited her. Judith, seeing the tall Texan, thought he eemed slimmer and browner than ever. Even bis smile, which usual ly showed In such a brilliant flash, teemed strained. "Hello small-Judo, ready to trust your heart 'n band to me and my hint" "Any time, any place," Judith re sponded. "It I thought you meant that," re torted Santord, "I'd head west then south to a neat little spot near Oax aca where there are no fortunes, platinum blondes, nor heartaches." "Did you mention Oaxaca or heaven?" queried Judith, breathless ly, puttied by bis manner. "It would be both . . . bop In." He helped ber Into the tiny cabin, smil ed bis queer, tired smile and slid In to the pilot's seat. The motor roared, sputtered, then to the rhythm ot three motors tak ing tbelr beat the ship taxied down the runway, nosed up and out. JUDITH was on her way to Nor man. She had no other thought save a sub-conscious enjoyment ot the flight. As a child she had always had the highest, most dangerous (wings In her various neighbor hoods, and with her father had de lighted to spin across some ebasm In a cable carriage, suspended above rocky gorges by a web-like line. Now her enjoyment was double for she was on her way to her hus band. She would drive back with him. They would stop at the white farmhouse on the Houston highway for their dinner as they bad on tbelr honeymoon, and there would be old fashioned flowers, stalks and cinna mon pinks along the paths, and fire flies would hold tbelr tiny lanterns against the screened windows. Only ot course, It was loo early for cinna mon pinks and hollyhocks. Slim Santord looked back, saw the smile on her fsce and switched off the motrr ao they seemed to float In the su aset "Small Judo," he said, "I'm sore-tempted." She wrinkled her nose at him and pointed below. Galveston lay there, The long island, thick at Its east erh end and thin at the western, looked like an exclamation point. ' He nodded and a few moments later they had come to a smooth landing. "I'll wait here until ton o'clock, In case you want to go back," he said, ae be helped ber Into a cab. "Meet me here or telephone." "Well . . . well all right." Judith was positive she wouldn't need him, but he looked as wistful as a tall, un-bronted man could look. She drove directly to the Oalvez, dismissed the cab and waved away tho bell boys. For a' moment she stood looking at the dining terrace. It was too early in the season for It to be In use, but she and Norman had bad such delightful times there on their honeymoon. She started to turn, and In turn Ing ber eyes caught two figures seated at a window table In the din ing room. Shocked, ebe scurried along the footpath to the point Just below. She looked In. There sat ber husband Norman, talking and laughing with Mathlle Bevlns. She bad pushed a cherry parfalt to one side and was leaning forward for him to light her ciga rette. The flare ot his lighter Il luminated tbelr faces. JUDITH stood staring at the win dow, too shocked to move. There was something In the Intimacy ot Norman lighting Matblle's cigarette that lingered after the flare had died away. Mathlle looked stunning In her mourning. A severe black dinner gown, with loose sleeves caught at the wrists with silver bands, flowing Bhoulder drapes, suggestive of veils caught at the shoulder with silver bars.

How oould he preiend to love his wife, yet dine publicly with Mathlle at a time like this? She turned from the window and walked to the soawall, but the sight ot the lighted area ot the piers, re called too many poignant memories of ber honeymoon. She called a cab, sank Into the seat and felt again the queer numb feeling which had come with the shock of Big Tom's death. She wouldn't be tooled this time. She wouldn't think ot what happened until she roached home. She might as woll go there at once, Clla would send her there It she sought refuge any place else. Santord was waiting. He helped her out ot the cab, took a look at her face, and suggested they fly to Beaumont or Lake Charles tor dinner. fCopvriokt. by Jeanne Bowman,1 Judith gtti n Important mat- una. tomorrow.
