Chapter 26 JUDITH'S ALLY IUD1TH laugbed "thanks, Clla, J but I don't mora In with you until we can afford a cook. Now, have you everything you want on , the will contest?" "Yes , . . say Jude, I don't see bow you can lose." "We can't It Lamnere hasn't some underhanded tricks up bis sleeve. "How long will It take you to get down there?" "I'll be In San Antonio In tb morning, change for Laredo, and 1 bould be In early In the afternoon, then ('II wait for the work train leaving for the dam. We rebuilt the spur, you know. Had to have It to carry supplies In." 'Think I'll come down and spend my vacation with you . . there's Llge signalling you . . . and there's your train . . . you better go to the train and I'll handle Llge." They started towards the train, and on tbe Inner platform, found a bllarloui; crowd gathered about the colored people's waiting room. Cunard looked over their beads and smiled "some old mammy's bag baa burst Its straps and she's as mad as bops," be explained. - Judith and her party started to push through the confusion of mill ing, last moment crowds, then above tbe medley of puffing engines, rattling cars, train calls and chatter, beard something which brought her to a stop. "Black boy," warned a familiar voice, "If you al's much as lay a finger to that can a choc-late, I'll skin your bide often you with this bere busted strap." Judith deserted the others and darted back through the crowd. Her suspicions were Justified for there, guarding a huge "telescope" whlcb bad spilled Its contents onto tbe pavement, hovored a perspiring, be wildered Delphinium, resplendent In black taffeta gown and towering purple bat. "Delphyl" cried Judith. The old woman looked up "I tole Llge that strap wouldn't bold," she complained. "Delphy, what are you doing hero?" "Ue gwlne 'long wltb you, Mis Dale. Think I'm lettln' you go-long down there 'mongst a lot a Mexicans with nothln' to eat but mantillas an' holy beans?" "Tortillas and frljoles," corrected Judith automatically, and then she laugbed, for alongside of the can of chocolate was the familiar red brick. With the belp of a rod cap, Del ' phy repacked her bag and roped It, then made for her car "I'll be 'long back to see you Is settled," she promised as she was hoisted up the steps. Tim train pulled out. Judttb leaned a hot cheek against the cool pane. They left the train yards and began moving slowly through a mate of little houses. Twilight eased down, children played In and out of the blue circle of street lamps, then there were fields with Just an occasional farm house, yellow windowed against their black background. Judith turned from the window, everywhere she looked she found evidence of home life. She turned to an ultra modern magaslno Clla had contributed, At least bere she'd find no saccharine ending, she could depend upon something astringently truthful, something wholesomely bitter. She skimmed through and tossed It aside In dis taste, the slorlea In that might be true to the exception, but net to the lives of those people In the little bouses. Delphy waddled down the aisle, held laughing conferences with the car porter and waddled awsy again. When the porter made Judith's berth, she was surprised to find one of her own fluffy blue -checked blankets on top. She had no more than settled under It when Delphy appeared with her Inevitable cup of chocolate. "Spilled tbe first one," she wheetcd. sitting down on the edge of the berth carofull, "so 1 got that nice lookln' dlnln' car captln f carry this long down to' me." Judith sipped the hot chocolate and thought of the nlgbls she had gone through this little ceremony since her marriage. The night table with Us circle of shell-pink light and lust outside the circle, Delphy standing waiting for the cup to be emptied. No question but the love and care tbe old woman had given ber bad brought ber renewed health and strength. Could It be that Norman realized this and bad sent ber on to care for ber? Colored servants rarely saved money, they were too eager to live each day to Its fullness and Delphy, Judith knew belonged to a number of lodges and "Burial Associations" which drained her purse with their fees and sociables. "Delphy," questioned Judith, aa she replaced the emptied cup In tbe saucer, "where did you get tbe money for your ticket?" "I got It honest," she said at length, and then she began to chuckle, "Yas mam, I shu' got It honest." Judith laughed with her "I wasn't questioning your honesty Delphy, I was Just wondering.", "Well sub," she confessed, "1 got It shootln' crap with Llge. I beat him." Judith continued to laugh, but there was heartache In her laugh. Norman hadn't sent Delphy along. "What do you think Mr. Dale will say when be hears you've left him?" she Inquired. Delphy sobered "I ain't carln'," she said bellgerently, "I brung him up good,- now be kin git along. Llge'H take card of blm, you's my sponsreblllty." JUDITH found her purse and re funded the money. "If you art going to work for me, I'm going to pay your expenses," she Insisted, "don't worry, I have a Job, we'll have to keep our expenses within the amount I make, though," "There," said Delpby triumphant ly, "I tole that Llge you didn't have no millions of dollars. He read In. the newspapers you had but I know better. What kind of a bouse we goin' to live In?" sbe Inquired wltb Interest. Judith sighed. She supposed she. should send Delpby back. Sbe wasn't young and perhaps sbe couldn't stand living In a tent. They would have to send for a big one. "We haven't a house, Delphy, Just a tent, a small one, until I can send for another." "One of them dog tents?" Inquired Delphy with Interest. Judith laughed "No, not a pup tent, we'll wait and see, before we worry, won't wo Delphy?" "Sure will, now vou ao-lonz to sleep. You's been lookln' plncby since Ma'ss Tom died." The next day seemad endless to Judith. After the tropical beauty of San Antonio, the plains, even with their wealth of purple-beaded blue bonnets, were monotonous. She, wanted to turn back to Norman. She wanted to oxplaln why she had acted as she bad, to let him explain his actions. They had never dis cussed the Bevlns will, they had avoided It like cowards. Perhaps If they talked things over they might have reached an agreement of some sort. At Laredo she changed ber smart traveling frock for the khaki outfit t she wore In the field, then waited for the work train. It came In and the orew gave ber blgh welcome and encouraging news of the dam city, which had been called "Big Tom" by the men who worked there. "Got your eyebrows on straight?" Inquired the engineer qulsilcally as the train approached the dam. Judith looked up "You can always dopend upon their being straight," she said, but she looked Into her purse mirror to make sure. The train stopped. Judith started to step out of the cab. There was quoer stillness outside, the kind left by the suduen stopping of vast ma chinery. Judith looked down. Below her was a sea of faces, a patchwork of sunbronsed faces on a khaki background. For a moment she stood as though paralysed. These uitn . , . hundreds of them . , . r.omen 100 on the fringe of the crowd . , . children hoisted to tall shoulders . . . they were there to greet her. For that moment she couldn't speak, and then Impulsively she pulled her hat from her head and held It high. "Howdy gang!" she shouted. The response came back In a roar, hip hip-hurrah, htp-hlp-hurrah, hln-hln hurrahl Thrice It rang out over the desert land and the dam sent back a falnl echo aa though some ethereal volet were Joining In the welcome. Then In mighty paean cams chorus "Miss Judy, our Mlsi Judy!" And faintly "our Miss Judy. They stood now In silence waltlni for ber to speak. Someone had light ed a flare and stood beside her. tCopyrtohl, JMI. by Jeanne Bowman Tomorrow.
