CARROLLTON ONCE MORE
JUDITH grinned adoringly after
young David. "His mother's sunny
disposition," she chuckled. "Come
on up and get the Alabama sand
out of your ears."
Whllo Emily bathed and changed
Judith lay flat on her back on a
chaise lounge and chattered Inces
santly. " She was Incredibly unchanged; In
appearance she looked the same ma
ture and self-sufficient eighteen that
she had been almost eight years ago.
Suddenly she raised herself on one
arm and looked keenly at Emily.
"Of course It's none of my busi
ness and I know i shouldn't ask. but
I can't stand the strain any longer
Emily darling, you were so very
iraguo In your letter; Is this break
permanent?"
"The sooner I get used
Emily nodded slowly. "Very."
Judith collapsed on the couch and
illnkod at the celling, "Thank Uodl
I know It couldn't work and I'd been
lorrlbly afraid you wore the kind
vho would grin and bear It to the
litter end."
"I might have," she confessed, "It
j hadn't found out accidentally that
be was doing the same thing. Not
grinning, because he Isn't that, sort,
but bearing It."
"Toll me about it," Judith com
manded. Emily told her, taking scrupulous
care to recount her own share In the
failure. Judith brushed that care
lessly aside.
"1 know; I know. You were Just as
much to blame as he was, but I'd
have cast you off If you hadn't been."
Hor eyes sparkled. "This Is better
than I dared to hope. Now you can
stay on Indefinitely and we can have
a gorgeous time!1'
Emily protosted laughingly. "We
can't do everything your tone Im
plies. I'm In a delicate position, re
member." "Not down here, you aren't. It's
a position that this outlll will thor
oughly understand and sympathize
wtlh." .
"Hut do they have to know any
thing nbuut tt?" she asked In con
sternation. "1 thought we wouldn't
even mention It."
Judith scowled at her. "Have you,
or have you not, left your husband?
And If they know It In Elston It will
lenk down here soonor or later, so
you may as well be brazen about It."
SHE sighed. "All right I suppose
the soonor I got used to It the
better off I'll be."
Judith rose. "Dorlnda will unpack
the trunk and the rest of those
things. Come on down and let me
show you to Aubrey."
Emily had been prepared to like
Aubrey Morton tor Judith's sake,
but she had reckoned without Ju
dith's unerring Instinct for people.
Aubrey was tattlah, as Judith had
said; with glasses and not much
hair. He was barely as tall as Judith
and was obviously ten or twelve
years older, but you knew Immedi
ately that he was Just the sort of
man Judith should have married.
Behind the glasses his eyes were

Aubrey glanced sharply at her,

neither expression bad changed, but
that Judith had managed with (

She lifted her own glass, thinking
as she drank of the vast spiritual
difference that separated Elston
from Morton Hall.

them, had a festive air; tor Judith

deadly poisons are rendered perfect

Phosphorus la very poisonous. As

The work waa begun following the

.While the repairs are being made,
no water has been going through the

be Impossible to do the work If the
gates were closed enough to raise the
water to the ladder level. In a few
