Chapter 10
Gary's News
"TTOS moment when Judith came
x to me w ar 01 nu room 10 asn
how he was, marked a high peak
In Reuben's life. The nurse had
gone to breakfast. He was alone
Then, almost as though his long
ing had brought her, Judith, In
blue linen, was standing In the
doorway.
"I hope you're feeling better?"
Speech deserted him.
"You had a dreadful spill." Her
voice was soothing.
He found his tongue. "It was
your fault."
"Mine?"
"You were laughing at me." His
shoulders against the pillows in
voluntarily slumped a little. "After
that I couldn't make the grade."
He looked very young this morn
ing. She saw his eyes, bronze, un
fathomable. She was unable to
draw her own from them or to
deny his accusation.
"It's true," slowly, "I did laugh."
"I deserved it. That's why It
hurt."
She was remembering last night
long, wakeful, miserable. "Sorry.
I won't do it again."
He couldn't think of a thing
more to say. Strange! He had al
ways been ready with words to
bend men to his will. Ready with
a smile slow a trifle indulgent
that women found fascinating. ,
Judith turned to go. Ho must
keep her just to look at her gave
him a feeling of exaltation but he
lucked courage. While he sought
for it, light, quick feet came uown
the hall, and Cissy stood by Judith
in the doorway. '
He had forgotten Cissy
"Ha, Lochinvar from out of the
West! The trusty sieed had his
little fling, I hear!"
Her arms were filled with flow
ers. Her face above was bright as
the morning. "I'm sorry you could
not come last night," she greeted
Judith, "we missed you."
"Sweet of you."
"We danced until morning in
your big old .'ooms. Rube. Then
we had a swim and breakfast"
She dumped her armful of fra
grant blooms on Reuben's bed and
turned again to Judith, "I brought
Gary back to you."
"Sweet of you." With a smile
for Cissy and a wave for Reuben,
Judith went. Jealousy, the first
she had ever known, rage, and a
faint shame went with her.
Gary got to hi feet when she
stepped out upon the porch. He
was immaculate in a blue serge
ju:t out or Bond btreet. Oood
morning, darling!" He ignored his
desertion of last evening. "Just
seeing you starts the day right.
Aren 1 1 the early bird?"
"Which reminds me that I
haven't fed the peacocks. Want to
come along?"
'She's A Honey'
SHE led the way to the kitchen
garden. From a peg of the
grape arbor she took a small bas
ket of grain, and opening a little
wicket gate, walked down a red
brick path, under apple and
peach trees, past clipped raspberry
bushes with fruit coming to per
fection; until she came to a wired
enclosure, where, with the morn
ing sun turning their plumage to
glory, a half dozen peacocks strut
ted proudly.
"You missed a great time last
night," Gary fumbled with the
gate's fastening, "Oliver is fixing
the place up fit for a king."
"So Jim says," Judith Bung a
handful of grain to the oncoming
fowls.
"Jim drifted in before the party
was over."
"Jim if always drifting some
where late."
Gory smiled remlniscently, "I'll
bet he was sorry he didn't come
earlier. It was that kind of party.
They were a friendly crowd. '
"Aren't Western people always
friendly?" Where was the rapture
of yesterday?
Gary said: "Great hostess
Cissy. She," amusedly, "keeps
thincs humming."
"She looks like a child."
"Older than you. Almost 23.
And what she doesn't know about
planes!"
"You're keen about them?"
"Who isn't? She's been taking
off since she was a kid before she
was old enough to have a license."
"I didn't know." She must 'ike
more interest in planes She's en
gaged to Reuben Oliver?"
Heavens, no! Cissy's a celeb
rity She can marry anybody!"
"I didn't know."
"Read your rotogravure," ad
vised Gory. "For a while everyone
thought C. C. Rogers was a man.
nd when they found out the dare
Jevil was a redheaded child
Isn't she a honey, Judy?"
"Reuben Oliver is a very rich
man," Judith's thoughts followed
that line persistently.
"Money hardly counts with the
Rogers."
"What else would count with
that sort of people?"
Miles Apart
GARY looked at her from good
natured blue eyes. "What's the
matter with you this morning,
Judy?"
"Guess I'm upside down like the
house. The whole place smells like
a hospital."
They found the bench where
Judith had waited last night. They
Suddenly there seemed
a lot she didn't know.
sat down, side by side. Miles apart.
What had happened that life could
be like this?
Gary lighted a cigarette. Judith
involuntarily touched his hand
that cupped the match. He smiled
at her above the flame, his easv
good humor quite restored.
"There's no one like you, Judy."
"I'm beginning to believe it,"
grimly.
"Bluffer, you've always known
It. After I've been away for awhile
Just the thought of you makes me
homesick."
The soreness left her heart. He
always came back "Was that
what you wanted to tell me?"
"S-say! I never did get around
to that, did I?"
"There wasn't time." She could
believe that now.
"Best news you ever heard,"
Gary exhaled a spiral of smoke,
"I wrote you about Gnlbrcath, a
capitalist I met in London?"
"Yes."
"He owns mines and timber all
through the West rolling in
wealth. I posted him for a few
clubs. He was deuced apprecia
tive. Proved it. I'm to manage his
timber holdings In California. Ne
vada, Oregon a crackerjack job."
At first she did not understand,
then knew she was expected to
say something, something con
gratulatory "But can you do
you know nything about it?"
Practically nothing, but I can
learn bluff while I'm doing it."
"I see." Blood drummed in her
ears.
"It was a godsend to me," Gary
confessed. "Like Custer I was
about to make my last stand. But
now watch my smoka!"
The drumming in her ears in
creased to a roar. She could hard
ly hear her voice above it. "You're
going away?"
"Almost immediately."
