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.

A atatesmsn, yes; but the things he
loved
Were a horse , horse and the plain;
The creak of leather, the clank of
spurs -
And the smell of the sage after rain.
The folks he loved were the folks who
live
Where the mountains kiss the sky;
Where the land rolls away like en
endless sea.
And wakes to the coyote's cryv
When the Time Moss gave him a
mount celled Death,
He thought It nothing strange,
But turned his face towaTd tbe set

To ride on a bigger range.

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.
At Bhlr, In India, there still re
mains a memory of the fourteenth
century sultan, Mohammed Toghlak
a tomb built and dedicated to his
extracted tooth. The sultan, suffer
lng from a toothache, had erected a
magnificent tomb where the dead,
tooth was burled in the midst of a
barbaric ceremony.
Annoyed by the umpire calling sev
eral faults against him, BUI TUdea
made sure of legal serves by standing
almost flat-footed to serve the final
game of the 1927 French champion
ship. Even though he faced tho for
midable Renee Lacoste, he won with
four straight aces.
