Bevint and her daughter ilathile. a friend of Norman't. Ju dith learnt that Lampere hat treaeherouely had the court hear ing advanced. Chapter 30 GOOD NEWS THE little conn of Bis Tom. Sbe liked It; liked the raw pink of fresh cut lumber used In the build' lngs on the town's main street, the hot dog stands with their Inevitable iroma of frying onions, the chill parlors, barber shop, Ike Epbrlam's Emporium, the little proprietor witn kind dark eyes who wrapped a mor sel of philosophy into each package. If she lost control of the Bevlns fortune. It would mean these keen eyed young construction men would go out to look for other work with the unsatisfied feeling of leaving nncompleted work, and for the mass of dam workers there would begin mother forlorn beglra to "another Job If we can find one." She should have been more alert , . . should have. She looked towards the sky with wordless prayer. Two tars seemed to separate from the mass In the heavens, move forward, grow larger. The night lights of an air ship. She beard the muted roar of three motors, saw the Sip of the plane, towards the leveled Held Slim Sanford used foi landing. From the small front porch of her hack, Judith watched the figures of two men approach. She knew that one would be Slim Sanford. The other . . . her heart beat like a trip hammer with hope that he might be Norman, and then the hope died as the two men swung Into a lighted area. The other was Justin Cunard. She ran downhill to meet them, her voice caroling before her, "What news?" "Good news," they answered In unison. "The will contest has been con tinued to late September." "But I thought. ... I heard that It started today!" "No," Cunard bad caught her el bow and the three bad started back np bill, the older man propelling her gently forward. "No, thanks to your friend Clla, It didn't start to day. . "As soon as she found out that Lampere and Marltellan bad slipped the case in earlier tban it waa sup posed to be on tbe court calendar, be called them to her ofllce. "Sbe told thera what she had beard In the Die room of the county court house and' said she would make It public if they tried to push tbe case forward without giving you a chance to get up here and Judge Morgan a chance to appear. He was out of town on another case and one of bis partners would have had to handle It. "Marltellan said the docket was full and it would have to be con tinued to fall. I suppose Lam pare thought you couldn't hold out finan cially that long. Maybe you can't, but now that I'm drat vice-president of tbe company I have the right to put my personal fortune Into it. I talked It over with Mrs. Cunard and he's with me a hundred per cent, so we'll aee you through. "And so this morning, wben the case was called, Lampere aent Mor rison to represent him, Judge Mor gan's son appeared for him, and Marltellan, a little bit yellow about the gills, set It over. I teel sorry for Marltellan, he's a One white fellow. I'd like to know what hold Lampere has on him." THEY reached the little house nd Cunard gave It a quick ap proving glance. Dolpliy met them at the door, with a quick inquiry as to their dinner hour. Satisfied they were as hungry as she had hoped they would he she went Into the kitchen and the others sat on the porch to talk. "This will probably mean war down here, Miss Judith," Cunard admitted, wben they had discussed Lampere and Marltellan. "Morton is clever enougb to know that by fall the dam will be tar enough ahead for Judge Morgan to use it as proof that you are following Big Tom's directions In using his money," "Why didn't he get i court order restraining her from going on with the dam?" Inquired Slim. "He tried," Judith explained, "tried when he succeeded In getting the Injunction against my use of the monoy, but there hag bean too much unemployment the past tew years for any human to refuse work to three hundred men, as long as 1 was willing to pay them. "Lampere would nave bad to go before the State Commission and prove the dam Impractical from an engineering viewpoint, to have suc ceeded in that and be knew he couldn't do that." They were silent a moment end Judith longed to ask for news of Norman, but was ashamed to admit she knew nothing. "How do you auppose Lampere will wage his war?" Sanford asked, breaking In on ber thoughts. "I wish I knew," answered Co nard, "It will be something Inspired by diabolical cleverness." Cunard discussed tbe city end of tbe dam building, while the two men did Justice to Delphy's beaten cheese biscuits, potted chicken and coffee. He expressed a desire to make a tour of dam property and said he would be there for several days. Sanford said little. He watched Judith anxiously, remarked sbe looked tired, and pretended to scold Delphy for starving ber mistress, then, as they arose from the table and started to leave, ha turned to Judith. "I have a package here from Clla. Doggone, must have left It In the ship, but here's a letter your husband asked me to bring down." "You saw him?" she asked, hop ing ber voice didn't reveal her eagerness. , "No, but Clla did. He dashed Into the courtroom ' this morning, said he'd Just beard of tbe trial starting' and told young Morrison quite frankly, that be didn't like the way their firm waa doing business. Clla sidled up to him and wangled a luncheon Invitation out of him. You know Clla. He asked about you and I Imagine she told him plenty. Sbe would. Sbe told blm 1 was' dying down tonight and be asked her to wait while he wrote a note to send down with me." "How did he lopk, did she say?" "No, sbe didn't. Well, goodnight. Judy, you need some rest. We'll see you In the morning, adlos " AS soon as the two men bad left, Judith turned to tbe letter. Would he be asking for a divorce? "Dsar Judith, a hssty not, as Clla's waiting. I And It difficult to ay what want to lay, perhaps be cause my mind Is not yet clear. A . year ago 1 would have sworn that a woman did not love a man, If she could leave him to work against hie Interests, simply because eh believed In what she was doing. "However, I find 1 am doing the eame thing. .1 find my love for you le unchanged, yet under the cir cumstances 1 cannot ask you to re turn to me. "I believe that had we been mar ried longer and our lives welded together with symoathetfa inter- 1 ests, this separation could not have happened. "It has. 1 shall leave you free to do what you wish, and I'll try to be as fair aa you have been In not blamlna me tor my stand. I love you, Judith. -NORMAN." ' Judith reread the note, trying to sense the meaning between lines: trying to read Into each line more than the actual worda revealed. Did he mean that In leaving her "free" he wished their separation to be come permanent? She felt a momenta pique at bis sportsmanship. With feminine in consistency she wished be would rush to her and demand aha return to blm. She wondered what Slim Sanford would have done under similar circumstances. Sbe reread the last line, "1 love you, Judith. There was sincerity there. She would keep faith wltb that line, and maybe time and des tiny would do the rest. Sbe slept better that night than she had slept tor some time, per hapa because having heard -from Norman, she entertained neither false bopos nor fears. Sbe remem bered Big Tom's plea that she be patient with Norman, and promised herself that she would be patient; a promise she was to laugh at with bitterness. Breakfast, Cunard and Sanford arrived simultaneously. Judith en Joyed the festive air which seemed to permeate the little dwelling with their coming. Later a stable boy brought np three horsoa and the trio started on their tour of inspection. Judith felt pardonab!epr!de In tbe friendly loy alty of tbe men whom they met at every step of their Journey. When Cunard expreased a desire to meet Scogglns. after learning who held the salient point ot land Jutting Into the main flood basin ot the dam, they rode down to the Scogglns farm and were Invited to stay for dinner. Back to Big Tom Town and Ju dith's shack and Cunard announced that on the next day he would like to make an air tour ot the Rio Diablo couutry. To Judith, who bad covered near ly every atap the year previous, the air trip was fascinating. tCopyrioht, ttU. by Jeanne Bowman) Monday, Judith goes to Mexloa.

Chev-( rolet'a production during March set j a new high mark for the year tot date and shattered all monthly pro- I ductlon records for the past thirty- I four months, M. E. Coyle, president and general manager of Chevrolet I Motor company, announced today. March also established a first quar ter's output unapproached In the last four years. Output for the month was 110, 260 cars and trucks, the third larg est March output In the history of the company, and the largest March since 1920.

Production for the entire first quarter was 223, 010 as compared with 148,336 In the corresponding period last year.
