MATHILE AGAIN
"A ATHI3 . . . 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.

Judith know that at the very mo
ment other diners in the big room
were remembering the news ot the
day "Dale may sue wife to regain
tortune or former sweetheart."
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.
