Judith's brother, David Car roll, waa Emily' tint love; now he i In Turkey, and Emily t dlvorc. ing JMicin Barnes, her hueband. Meanwhile there ie much to do, in :. eluding the attention of Dan Bay nor, netahborhood flirt. And Judith hoe cabled David that the old Cor roll plantation, last to the family tome year before, i again in th ' market. Chapter 40 DARK FUTURE HALF an hour later Judith, clad In vivid pajamas and a pair of scarlet mules, was sitting Turkish fashion at the foot of Emily's bed. One of the most refreshing of Ju dith's traits, Emily remembered, waa this disregard for conventional hours; this unwillingness to relin quish one day until another had ar rived. It was a family trait, Emily knew, thinking of the days at Carrollton and tbe poker game on the living room floor. She settled herself lux uriously under the down comforter and waited. "Well," Judith demanded, "what did you think of him?" 1 "He's attractive," Emily admitted. PAnd what la much more danger ous, he makes you feel attractive too. But he's not tor the likes of me! -men, .'. Judith Insisted, "there's no hurry. I'm afraid there'll he plenty of time for a business course before the slack In employ ment la taken up, and in the mean time you need to play. Do you real ise, darling, that you're never played in your life?" "Only too well." "And do you realize that having you here la the nicest thing that baa happened to me since Oavey was born? It sounds Improbable, but I do get lonesome, and the biggest favor you could do me would be to stay at least three months." Emily felt her eyes misting. She leaned forward Impulsively and kissed Judith's beautiful. Impudent mouth. "I hope some day I can do half as much for you." Judith uncurled herself and rose. "You'll do It Just by staying." She patted Emily's cheek. "Now go to sleep and let tomorrow take care of Itself. And reconcile yourself grace fully to three months of this life: after that you can think about what to do next" - She opened the bedroom windows, tucked Emily warmly In, and went out, the scarlet mules clicking as she walked. D AN HAYNOR'S house, Emily dis covered two nights later, was "Well," Judith demanded, "what did you think of him " I've had my share of problems for a irhlle." ' Judith nodded, relieved. The cable had gone to David thla morning and she was counting minutes until the answer came. "1 know that. He's a graceleaa devil f but I thought he'd do to play around with. Of course there are a tew others, and I want you to meet the countryside, but It's convenient to have aomeone to fall back on when there's nothing else doing." Emily twinkled at her, "You sound s it I were spending the winter here." , "You are." Sbe shook her head regretfully. "You're an angel. But I can't" "Why not?" Judith went straight to tbe heart of the matter, "What would you do back in EHston?" That was a question that had fol lowed her like a shadow since the moment she arrived. What would she do?" "T DON'T know," she confessed. 1 "I've been trying to decide. I won't stay there and dry up," she said with quiet bitterness. "Elston all the Elstons In the world are full of good women, even attractive wo men, who ought to have married and have never had a chance. "They spoil their nieces and nephews, and read aappy leva sto ries, and belong to church circles. And occasionally one of them goes quietly mad from repression, or turns the town over by marrying a soda-Jerker fifteen years younger than she Is." Judith's eyes were dark with hor ror. "My God! Is It as bsd as that?" "It's worse." She went on thought fully. "There's not a chance of find ing a job anywhere now; but I've considered using what money I have to take a business course so that I'll be fitted to do something when things do Improve." Judith shook her head. "You oughtn't to be In business. You ought to be married." 1 "Most women ought," she admit ted with a rueful laugh, "but you can't achieve It successfully In a place like Elston. And you can't very well go to l city and put an ad In the paper, or hang out a algn. You've got to do something In the meantime." not another classic example of Early Colonial; it waa merely a house, big and rambling and badly In need of paint , Except for an occasional fine piece of furniture and the Sully portrait In the ball the Interior gave no Indi cation of past glories In the Raynor history, . . Th living-room suggested the lounge of a men's club rather than a private home. It was almoat crude ly furnished: deop, cushioned chairs, a stone fireplace holding enormoua logs, a line pair of antlera above the mantel, a collection, of old guns on the mantel-shelf. After the Inevitable drinks dinner waa served on a small table before the llvtng-room Ore. "That dining-room gets under my skin," Dan explained. "It's so big and gloomy that It takes at least a doten people to subdue the damn' thing. And with the present price of cotton, Lord knowa when I'll be able to have It done over." Emily glanced at the dinner, which was a typical man's meal: beef flleta with mushrooms, souffle potatoes, Rocquefort and coffoe. "I could eat food like thla from th kitchen floor." "Dan alwaya feeda you well," Ju dith explained with her mouth full. "It's bis best trait." Dan looked Injured. "You're an unflattering beast As If I didn't have a lot of good traits." Judith considered. "Yes 1 sup. pose you have. You're kind to ani mals, and loyal to your friends" "And I've never welched a bet" Emily laughed. "You sound as II you were writing an epitaph!" "It they don't stop chattering and finish thla steak before It gets cold," Aubrey growled, "they will be." Everyone laughed, and the dinner went gaily on. Over the liqueurs which concluded the meal Judith sighed heavily. "You'll have to remove the table from around me. I couldn't get up If I had to." Aubrey grasped the back of her chair and tilted It almost to the floor. With a ilngle boui. eh was on him, both arms flying. (Copyright.

When Nero, Emperor of Rome, de cided to murder his mother, his cruel fancy reached a new high he had' a boat built especially for her, one de signed so that It would fall to pieces at a given signal.' With all tho at tention of an affectionate son, he re ceived her on a visit and then in duced her to board the death ship. The plot went off according to plans, except for one mistake Nero had not counted on his' mother's ability to swim. She escaped by swimming out of the wreckage and safely reached her own home, but soon her home was surrounded by soldiera of the Emperor, who then and there killed her In cold blood. After the murder, Nero was panic stricken by bis own act. It was not until six months later that he re entered Rome, for by that time his fears were allaye4 by officially spread reports that his mother had fallen victim to her own plot against him.
