She expected to see the same scrawny, III nourished crowd she bad left there eight months before. True, Blr Tom had arranged loans for the beads ot the families, and he herself bad arrnngnd to have cases of canned milk sent In, but even at that she was unprepared for the' change. The peupli who stood before her were not cowed, broken, lifeless In dividuals, they were sturdy, self respecting land people. The new confidence born In them with proper nourishment and hope for tbe fu ture, showed In the carriage of tbe men, the clothing of the women. "Miss Lane , . . that Is Mrs. Dale," Bcogglns the leader was speaking In a sonorous voice, "we have come phlnium located Slim Sanford In the main office on the brink ot the cut "Ma's Slim," she puffed, "If you don't come long up there an' light that contraption in my kitchen.

Ten o'clock. Mass Slim, ten in the mo'nln an' sbe ain't bad her orange Juice yet." Judith was writing when they reached the house, writing a lettei with line, firm strokes of tbe pen. There was no hesitation now ... no nibbling ot pen-end for words: The came clearly as though spoken lr an incisive voice, "Dear Norman : I know how un explalnable my conduct must seem to you. X won't Iniult you with an apology, 1 have followed my con victions. Just ae you have followed yours. Some dsy i hope that we may understand each other better. Our love, at least my love for you. Is not In question, it Is true and steady, but had 1 stayed to forget my trust. It would have turned to bitterness. "I am comfortably housed In a shack built by the boys, In the lee of the rock where we sat through the storm. Delphy, as Uge may have told you, followed me to the depot, insisting upon accompany ing me, so 1 wilt be well cared for. , I hope I may hear from you occasionally, because regardless of all that has happened, my affection for you has never havered. "JUDITH." 7 '''' J LTraTOffmujjjj.a.i,yjj.i.,iiiti.iiii.M.iijj.i..i.iMj.iiiii - to bid you welcome to the city of your " But Judith had spied the children. The small one who had hovered elose to ber boots months before was back tugging at her band. She looked down into a rosy, smiling face. "Delphy," she cried to tbe old wo man, "see them, look at this pre cious butter ball . . , and only last August she was as thin as a rail , . , oh, and Tommy Scogglns come here, you Immense creature . , . and look t little Timothy, If be Isn't tbe pic ture of health" "He wouldn't a boon no picture it all without your special food, you sent him," declared Scogglns. Judith was suddenly contrite "I Interrupted your nice welcoming speech, can you forgive me?" Scogglns laughed with the others "Don't need to make one now. We folks got to thinking. Now that Miss Judy's got Ave million dollars and been Hvln' swell and wearln' grand elothos, we'd bettor try to act up to ber ... but pshaw," ho exclaimed, ."here you come back In your same old clothea we admired so much, an' llkln' our klde. You don't need no speech to make you know you're welcome, you kin see how we feol 'thout us usln' big words." "OU bet I can, Mr. Scogglnt . , . 1 oh say, how's your garden do ing this year; you've had more rain, haven't you?" "Miss Judy , . , you should see my pole beans." "Pole beans," scoffed Duoiway, "why Ihey ain't nothing'. I'll bring "iOOD morning, Small-Jude," said 'J Sanford from the door. "Morning, Tall-Slim," she retort ed. 'Had breakfast? Hours ago? You make me feel like a sluggard, but you will have some of Delphy's cot fee with me, won't you?" "I will, then I must fly back to Houston. Any messages. letters oi what-nots, you want to send back?" JudltU thought ot her letter, re membered Norman's attack on San ford, and decided it had better go via tbe regular mall, so she wrote hasty notes to Cunard and to Clla while Delphy "cuddled" eggs and brewed coffee. They bad breakfast on the porch. and Judith, basking In Sllm's silent admiration, In tbe love ot the na tives and the staunch loyalty ot ber men, found her first moments of happiness since Big Tom's death. After she had watched Sllm's shin take oft and wing Into the east, sbe stood on her tiny porch and looked down on the dam. For a full half hour she enjoyed the luxury ot Idle thoughts and dreams, then turned to the bouse, thence to the office, and for the next forty-elgbt hours hard ly paused In checking the work's progress, with the plans Tom Bevins had left behind. Tired, but with a new content, ment, she stood the evening ot the second night, watching the work train in from Laredo. There might be mall on this, a letter from Nop man. She waited as they sorted tha mall, tried to be patient with tbe young courier who brought her OLDEST MASON 10 BE Fort Orford Masonic lodge h&s completed arrangements to take care of the largest crowd of Masons ever assembled at one time In the history of southwestern Oregon, Saturday, April 14th, at 8:30 p. m.
