Chapter Three
NEW LIFE
IT ended by Emily's producing
linen and making the bed, while
Judith unpacked frothy underwear
and talked Incessantly.
"I'm a lucky brute to draw a room
mate like you," the said, throwing
garment! carelessly Into a drawer.
"I can see that you're the mothering
kind."
Emily laughed. "Just the opposite.
I've been thoroughly mothered all
my life."
Judith gdnned Impishly. "Then
that's where you learned the trick so
well. Perhaps you'll be an example
for me: I might even become recon
ciled to Ardmore."
"You didn't want to come here?"
"Not much. It's the penalty for
having the family Intelligence. But
I didn't mind enough to make an is
sue of it," she added.
Judith extended her own invitation.
"Why can't you come home with nie
and see the Carroll menagerie?"
Emily glowed. "I'd love it, but I'm
not sure how Mother would feel
about my not coming home."
Judith's assurance was boundless.
"I don't believe Bhe'il refuse It we
handle her properly."
Frances would have liked very
much to refuse, but la some way
(she was nover very clear how)
Judith out-maneuvered her and she
found th'tt she had consented. Ju
dith even managed, since Emily was
eighteen now, and since It was Im
possible for Mrs. Felton to come to
Birmingham Just then, to superin
tend the buying of Emily's ward
robe. The result was disconcerting.
"I think," Judith had decided
while they waited for her favorite
saleswoman to finish with a cus
tomer, "that we'd better capitalize
your type. You know: the startled
fawn standlne-wlth i reluctant feet
type."
Emily giggled. "Am I as bad as
that?"
"Bad, my eyol You'll be damn'
good. Particularly down home where
all the women are large and raw-
boned and either horsey or doggy.
David will have a cerebral hemorrhage."
Judith unpacked, and talked Incessantly,
As she fell alseep that night Emily
wondered what would have hap
pened if she had "made an issue of
It." The possibility ot such a course
had never occurred to her.
She wore for one week a large
placard on her back, bearing her full
name. She participated in the Fresh
man-Sophomore Stunt, which culm!'
nated In a truce and the ceremony
of burying the hatchet.
After that she settled down to the
routine of college: swiftly passing
days of study; nights ot soft beauty
on the campus, when the moon sil
vered the roofs and etched the tower
ot Main In dark grace against the
eky.
CHE made friends; not with the
" easy catholicity ot Judith, but
quietly and surely. She mads the
class tennis team, and found herself
appointed to various minor ofllces
dolegnted to freshmen. There was
apparently a groat deal more to col
lege than books, and because she
had promised Frances to do her
best she took It all as It came.
Under Judith's expert tutelage she
even learned to laugh, heartily and
often, and was amazed to discover
how unimportant her troubles
seemed so long as she dared to
laugh at them.
She went home for week-ends
twice a month, and on the last trip
netore Lnrutmns took Judith with
her. Jeffrey was entranced, but
Frances thought her rather danger
ously ettractivo ond wondered It she
wasn't a demoralizing Influence for
Emily.
Edwin eyed her with distrust, as
one of tho major planets entirely
outside his orbit, and confided pri
vately to Emily that he thought her
frivolous.
Emily sgreed promptly. "She Is.
I3ut what a bore It would be if every
one did his duty and took lire so
seriously,"
"Not half as boring as if every
body took life as she does."
Emily looked thoughtful. "I'm not
so sure. Anyhow. I wish I were built
that way."
"I don't," Edwin told her firmly
and slgnltloanlly. "I like you much
bettor as you are."
When the Easier holidays arrived I
T-vAVID, Emily had learned before
this, was Judith's brother. He
was tweuty-two. Just out of Tulane,
and the be-all and end-all ot Judith's
existence. His picture adorned her
desk: a flguro that was gay and
careless and smiling, that wore
dilapidated riding breeches and a
shirt thrown open at the throat.
There was a horse In the picture,
and a shining Irish setter at his foet
The thought ot meeting David left
Emily a little shaken and breathless.
"I'm scored to death!" she ad
mitted. "Rats!" Judith cast a critical ey
at a dinner-frock of autumn-leaf chif
fon In a nearby case. "The secret
lies In looking sweet and not being
shocked at anything they say or do."
A lorge order, Emily feared, for
one who had cut her teeth on words
like Duty, and Responsibility to the
Lens Fortunate
A car with a liveried chauffeur
mot them In Montgomery and drove
them the fifteen miles to Carrollton.
It wns one of the few real planta
tions left in Alabama. Emily had
learned, and there were miles and
miles of It devoted to cotton and
corn, horses, dogs, ond quail. Mr,
Carroll played the cotton market
when the hunting season wasn't on,
with varying success.
"We have our fat years and our
lean ones," Judith hod explained
carelessly, "and this Is one of tho
(at ones. Next year wo'll probably be
selling tho cars and Jewelry to pay
the taxes."
"Why not save something on tho
fat yoarsT" Emily wanted to know.
"Because If wo did that we'd never
have any fun. As It Is, we really en-
Joy life about half of the time."
She had never before encountered
such pure hedonism as went to make
up Judith's creed. Her reaction was
compounded of fascination and re
pulsion.
The cor swept Into a driveway,
and Emily caught her breath at the
beauty of it. There were houses,
she realized suddenly, that repelled
your advances; and there were
houses that held out their arms and
said, "Come In, come In!"
Judith's house held out Its arms.

made the arrangements for bis burial
and paid for It.
Cold mists swirled over the bury

the man known as the crudest of the
Dllllnger mob was lowered, with none
to mourn, Into Ha grave. There were
no flowors or appointments.
There were no mourners because
all of Hamilton's pals are either
dead shot as he was by sheriffs or
"O" men. or In penitentiaries.
Three men took Hamilton's body to
the grave nd none had a sentimental
duty. Thorsen, and his assistant low

casket Into the pit while the Rev.
John Klein, pastor of the Oswego
Presbyterian church, read s brief
service.
Hamilton's remains were dug up
from a shallow grave in a gravel pit
near here Wednesday, where It had
lain since John DUUnger himself and
Homer Van Meter first burled it.

Lynn, Mase.
The rule of Murad III, the gold
hoarder, marked the beginning ot
the decline of the Dttoman empire.
Superstitious, feeble, and dominated
by his harem, Murad's chief delight
In life wns the gathering of gold.
He had a marble lined vit:!t built
under his sleeping chamU. . and
here he kept hi, treasure. He slept
over the door of the vault every
night. The gold he gathered was
never used by him only once In
three months was the vault opened,
and then only to add new treasure
to the pile.
Two and a half millions In gold
were taken out of the vault after
the sultan's death In 1595.
Strange as it eems, during the
rule of Murad III, the real power
behind the throne was a Christian
slave, Salle hla favorite wife. Shft
was the daughter of a noble vena
tion fnmily, captured as a child oy
Turkish pirates, and sold Into the
harem of Murad.
Quebec, the only walled city In
tftKMfUSjft4kftt.lM. ?-2$
Nortn America, was once the strong
est fortress of the British Empire
w'.th the lone exception of the Rock
cf Gibraltar. It was first fortified
oy the French, but none of these
works remain. The present walls
were built a oentury ago. and with
the exception of some gates which
have been rebuilt, they remain
practically Intact.
