JUDITH burst precipitately Into
Emily's room at seven o'clock on
a February morning. Her hair was
on end and her dressing gown
waved behind her.
"I can't stand it any longer or I'll
explode like a steam boiler!"
Emily blinked and sat up In sud
den alarm. She was accustomed to
Judith's effervescence but this was
different: this was Vesuvius In
eruption. She thought wildly of
Frances and Jeffrey, then ol Au
brey and Davey.
"Judith. 1 It?" s
; Judith made a Dying leap and
landed In the middle of the great
walnut bed.
"I was going to keep It for a sur
prise, but the pressure's gotten too
! dangerous. David s coming home!
David. She sat very still for
moment, then sbe forced herself to
I whisper:
"When?"
"This afternoon. The wlra Just
tcame. He a landing this morning
and flying to Montgomery." She
Hung ber arms wide. "Isn't It the
Iswellest thing you ever heard of?"
in spite or the turmoil of her
thoughts Emily laughed. "It's the
: grandest thing I ever heard of, Jude.
darling, I'm as thrilled for you as
you are tor yourself."
Judith sat up. "How about being
a little thrilled on your own ac
count?"
"Because I don't figure In It." She
eyed Judith In sudden terror. "Did
you tell him I was bere?"
Judith shook her head. "That was
another of my surprises."
She sighed with relief. "Thank
heaven for that!"
"Why?"
"Because I'm going home."
Judith stared at her in consterna
tion. "You're doing nothing of the
aort! Why do you think all this was
engineered?"
'But don't you see," she spread
her hands In a hopeless little ges
ture, mat oeing bere now would
be nothing on earth but throwing
myseir at did.
"It wouldn't." Judith's voice was
rough with conviction. "David knows
you too well, even now, ever to
think that. And It you think that
David would marry anybody on
earth from a sense of duty you're
ail wet. He's too much of a Carroll
for that: they don't know the mean-
Ing of the word. Now will you stay
here and take your chances, or will
you run like a scared rabbit?"
Emily's eyes were on the cover
let. "I'll stay."
Judith flung both arms about her
neck. "I knew you would! Now
hurry and get dressed; we've got
tnings to ao."
V ERCIFTJLLY, the plane was on
time, or Judith would have
demoralised the entire airport. Sbe
pusnea past a uniformed official,
was snatched by a greasy mechanic
from a horrible death In the pro
peller and flung herself upon the
nrst mate passenger who descended,
knowing instinctively that David
would be the first man to alight.
In the car David found the ton-
aeau light and switched it on.' "I
want a good look at you," be ex
plained as the car moved away,
iuey were noiding hands un
ashamedly now: still smiling a little
tremulously at each other. Judith
said tragically:
"You look like Zeus or some
body, but I'm sure I've aged ter
ribly!"
"Terribly," David agreed gravely,
and they both burst out laughing.
Bbe looked about tbe car tor
something to hurl and David said
persuasively, "Not on my first day
at home, please. Sit back and tell
me about Aubrey and my nenhew.'
She leaned back and he put an
arm about ber shoulders. For half
an hour she talked steadily.
Aubrey and Davey, who bad
watched for the headlights as they
turned In the driveway, were wait
ing on the steps. Emily, Judith ob
served, was not visible. The two
jnasj -gripped hands, smilingly and
almost wordlessly, and Judith
caught up her son.
They went Inside the house and
t)avld etopped for a moment In the
hall, in bis eyes the expression of
a pilgrim returning to a well-re-
pembered shrine. He had known
Mdrton Hall well in the past.
"Oh, Jude." be turned swiftly to
ber and his voice broke a little, "It
rou knew what It means to be back ! "
His eyes swept the Hvlnr-ronm
with the same hungry glance, as It
he had only this moment to Imprint
Its appearance upon his memory
torever. Then he smiled at ber.
"Quite the chatelaine, aren't
rou?"
"Quite." Her ears attuned to the
floor above had heard Emily leave
her room and begin to descend the
stairs.
From his position near the arch
way David saw her first, and recog
nised her Instantly. He whirled on
Judith, his voice a shaken, angry
whisper.
"If this is your Idea of a Joke, It's
damned poor taste!"
Judith's bean was singing. She
whispered back: "It's not a joke,
you Idiot! Do you think she'd be
here If everything weren't all right?'-
THERE was no time for more
Emily was coming In and David
had crossed the room to meet her.
David took ber hands and smiled
down at her. "If this isn't a perfect

But his voice, Judith noted, was gay
and not shaken: was friendly with
out being Intimate. , She held he:
breath, praying that Emily wouldn't
betray herself.
Emily did not. Her smile was ai
gas as David's, and her voice as care
fully controlled. "1 thought 1 was

She laughed Quietly, and crossed
the room to the others. To covei
the pause Judith said quickly:
Why can't we have our cocktail!
now? Then David can go up and
array himself afterwards It hi

David grinned. "I think I can beat

Robert Thomas, mystery man of
the Windham county Jail., Brooklyn.
Conn., was sentenced to a short Jail
term there ten yeara ago. on a charge
of vagrancy. Well liked, useful, and
apparently quite contented, he made
arrangements to stay on after his
term was up. living In the Jail and
working there for his meals, clothes
and a small monthly allowance.
Although he never talked of hla
past or his family, occasional slips In
his conversation led officers to be
lieve that he came from a good fam
ily, and waa a man of fair education.
The name he gave was probably fic
titious. Just why a man would so
willingly call a county Jail his home
for ten years, no one could say. The
mystery now Is a closed one. for not
long ago Robert Thomas died.
