k i PA OK KTOTTT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, BEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, APRIL 8, 1934. Judith Lane bl JBAN.Wt BOWMAN SYNOl'SIS: Judith Date hat seen Norman, her husband, having dinner with Uathile Uevine. Judith resents hie quilelfeeneee, because Uathile and her mother are trying to break the will, under which Bio Tom Bevlne hae left hie fortune to Judith, to be need to complete the Rio Diablo Dam, anil Norman's law fiartner, Mortn t.ampere, le direct ng the light Ir the Bevlne helre. Norman is in a difflcult situation. Chapter 24 NORMAN'S DEMAND " JUDITH ... I think you forget my Arm represents the Bev lne " "Forget It," Judith's laugh was hysterical, "I'd like to . . . oh, how I'd like to. But with Lampere treat ing me like an unmentionable and you dancing attendance on those two women like a legal gigolo" "You've gone Car enough Judith. I hadn't meant to make this Bevlns fortune a Issue between us, 'but you're forcing me to It. They warned me you would. I'm beginning to be lieve they know you better than I do. "I'm leaving for Galveston again. I'll have to fly back to make court, I had hoped to take you with me, but under the circumstances I think you'd better stay and think things over. Talking only brings on trouble. "This Bevlns affair will blow over and then you and I can settle back Into our normal way of living." ."Norman," Judith sat up In bed, alert, "what do you mean, the Bev lns affair will bloWovar?" "You'll see." Judith sensed that he knew some thing more than he was admitting. "But suppose It doesn't?" she coun tered. "It will." Judith Jumped out of bed, show ered and dressed while Delpby pre pared a tray for them. Under the (tinging flay of water, Judith prom ised she would take Clla's advice and wait until Norman bad had his coffee, before, as Clla, would say, "starting anything." 8b did wait. With breakfast over and Norman glancing at his watch, she spoke. "Norman, 1 want you to tell me now, what you meant by saying the Bevlns affair would blow over." "I ... I can't." "Alright, then, tell me this. If It doesn't blow over, what will be your attitude?" Normar glanced at her, dark eyes unrelenting, Hps In a thin, stern line "I shall have to ask you either to give up the Bevlns money, or me." Prepared as she was, Judith couldn't repress a start as he said this. There was no comfort In the knowledge that the man who spoke wna some grlm-vlsogod stranger whom she'd never before seen. Nor did It comfort Judith any to know she had behaved like a fish wife, using Mathlle as an Issue while she was only a "barb In the flesh." "Norman," her eyes begged for understanding, though her voice was cool, "I want to apologize tor what 1 said about you and Mathlle. I was Jealous and hurt. Slim San ford flew me down so 1 could be there In time for dinner with you, then 1 found you were all ready through and she was with you. "I truly believe It happened as you say It did, only, that's It . . . Just as 1 said that night on board the trawler ... we don't think alike. You thought more of acting the gentleman than you did of how your publlo meeting with Mathlle would hurt me. The realization that she probably planned the whole thing doesn't make me any the less bitter." "VTOU mean she connived with my mother?" he began heatedly. "No Indeed," said Judith, "your mother Is, above all, sporting. She wouldn't play that way. She was probably so Intent upon her tourna ment she wasn't aware that you and Teel were two of the three prin cipals In the Bevlns case." A rare smile crossed Norman's faco "I'm glad you see that," he said, "she really likes you a lot, Jude." He looked at bis watch "I wlBh 1 didn't have to go, but then," his face had brightened, "by the time 1 get back we can start fresh and Mathlle won't have any further call on me." "Norm," Judith stepped close, "I'm leaving too, I'm making a trip to the dam, leaving this evening." "Judy . . . Judy you can't do that, 1 tell you. Not now, not at (hi ll m." "But It's a good time to go, Nor man, you'll be away" His arms were holding her Mailt, a desperate tensity in then "Ju dith, remember 'Jit l!tM ! said that all one needed c make a perfect marriage was e3;ugh love? Haven't you enough love to give this up for me?" "And, Normy, 1 asked you how much was enough? Have you enough to go against your principles for me?" "Judith," he pointed out of the window to where an Ink-black cloud was sweeping down from tbe north, "I have to go, there's a storm com ing In and I can't be late for court. Now dear, try to be sensible. You're all wrought up over things, go on back to bed, have a good rest, then wake up and read or go to a show " "Norman, you don't understand, I'm leaving for the dam tonight. I must go." "1 see," his arms dropped away from her. He put on a light over coat, picked up his brief case and his bat "It's up to you Judy. Take your choice. If you think more of your childish belief that no one else can build a dam, than you do of me . . . all right. Goodbye." Ha kissed her lightly and left. Judith raced to the window. She couldn't bear to have him go Ilka this . . . suppose tbe storm overtook blm, his car skidded on the wet pavement and he'd never know how much she loved him . . . she wouldn't go to the dam. Big Tom had asked more than was humanly possible for any woman to give . . . she would stay and help him carry on. LIGHTNING flashed across th ' sky, thunder rumbled and dark ness closed down. Judith tried to follow In ber Imagination the race of the little coupe against the storm, and then before her mind's eye came a picture of the storm at the dam; the horror of It, the heart breaking devastation which lay In Its wake . , . the little crumpling houses swept away from the banks and the beart broken resignation ol the men who had built them. Even If Norman were right and she wasn't necessary for the safe erection of Diablo dam, had she the right to leave It to chance? The shrilling of the telephone caused her to hurry to the Instru ment. Neither Llge nor Delphy would touch anything electrical during a storm. "This Is Mrs. Dale speaking," she said, "Ob yes, Judge Morgan ... oh . . . oh." She sat down suddenly, "yes I'll be down right away, thank you for calling." She hung the receiver back on Its book, carefully, replaced the tele phone and looked out on the rain washed terrace. Morton Lampere bad been granted an Injunction against her use of the Bevlns money until he could contest Tom Bevlns' will, and a decision be handed down. She had expected It. Her shock came from the realisation that Nor man. had known It and left her to face It without forewarning her. At least It made her declBlon more eas ily reached. She went to ber room, dressod and finding the storm quiet ing, called Llge to bring around tbe small truck they had bought In pref erence to a car for ber. He drove her to the end the nearest street car line and by 'the time she reached Judge Morgan's office, she had outlined tbe path she would follow, One of Mrs. Nathalie Bevlns' first actions after finding she owned the Bevins building, had been to ask the newly organised Bevlns Construc tion Company to move. Big Tom, owning tbe building, bad never con sidered a lease necessary, and re gardless of Judge Morgan's Inter vention, she was able to demand their eviction. It was one of the Innumerable lit tleness such as Big Tom bad had to contend against throughout his mar rled life. He did contend with them, Judith remembered with a thrill, and somehow they had cost him nothing more serious than worry. But Judith knew that the worry had had Its part In wearing down the engineer; now his own company was driven from his own building. Judith bad not waited for tbe end of their time of tenure. Afraid of having company papers Inspected, during t b 1 r absence, she had moved to temporary quarters In an office adjoining Judge Morgan's. Upon reaching there she founu tbe Judge In consultation with Jus tin Cunard "You musn't worry over tbls, Mrs. Dale," he hastened to say when he caught sight of her face. "I'm not," she assured him, "1 ex pected It." The two men exchanged quick glances of understanding, "As for money," said Ounard, "remember I have a couple of producing oil wells at Longvlew and 1 can turn them orer to the Rio Diablo project al any time ... the proceeds, I mean." "Thank you," said Judith, then with sudden thought, "are they go ing to allow me to go on with tha building?" (Copurtaht, 1931, el Jeanne Bowman) Judith prepare!, Monday, for Lampere'a trloktry, .
