TTGFj twelve M"ETFORD MATL TRIBUNE, MTTDFORD, OREO ON". FRIDAY. APRTL 22, 1938. By BLANCHESMITH FERGUSON "1 was afraid Rube was being dame," Clem hooked by a cold-blooded confessed. The Starr Is Fsr: heartbroken because the man the lovet hat lcI her, Judith Goodlo dcldei to marry Reuben Oliver. Thit man, who hat pulled nlmiel up by hie bootstrap, hat one thing the ariitocratic Goodloei need money. Desparately in love with Judith, Reuben reueei to heed the warning of hit partner, Clem Roger! that unieu he leaves the Maryland valley and gele back into the flvht he it due or a Jlnanctal licking. Chapter 18 A Man With Spunk' TN RESENTFUL surliness Keu- ben's hands tightened on the wheel. After all the years lean years and fat Clem was letting him down! Incredible! Out of all the world Clem was the one per son whom he believed he could count on. Now Surely Clem understood that a man must select his own wife. Must choose his own path And again like a gong tolling faintly and from afar he heard Judith say ing: "If I had to leave this val ley" And he had dreamed of marry ing another Biblical Ruthl "Whith er thou goest " Clem, making a ceremony of cleaning and putting away his pipe, glanced surreptitiously at tne lean, serious face of the younger mnn. with rebellion and frustra tion in his eyes. What good was money? "The only thing in the whole wide world that Cissy wantB and I can't buy him or bribe him!" Grim satisfaction in that thought In spite of a rising anger. If he could buy or bribo Reuben, he wouldn't want him for Cissy. Well, let the young ass go ahead! Let him go the limit! then when he came crawling back In stubborn mood Clem and Reuben arrived at the gates of Goodloe's Choice, just as Judith, mounted on Winona, came out The temperamental animal protended to be afraid of the shining auto mobile. She stnged a grand act. She danced and pranced all over the road. She reared on her hind legs. She pawed with her front feet. She dilated her thin nostrils. Judith let her go through all her stunts. She even encouraged her a little. She gave a fine exhibition of horsemanship. Reuben watched fearfully. Clem with delighted fascination. "Whoops, whoops and a couple of hooplas!" he exclaimed when Winona at last drew quite close to the machine she had pretended to fear, "That's the best act I've ever een outside of a circus. Don't know as I've ever seen a better in one. You're Rube's girl, I take it?" Judith still busy with Winona's bridle nodded her assent. "Well, by cracky if you're go ing to manage your husband like you do your horse Rube's going to need sympathy." Judith laughed gayly: "Sh-h-h!" deliriously confidential, "Let's keep him thinking he has all the luck." "Maybe he has at that." Isn't It Appalling?' THIS is Clem Rogers, Judith," Reuben madt a belated intro duction, "The man who gave me my start." "But who won't be In nt the fin ish, "Clem thought dourly. He said: "Pleased to meet you, ma'am." Judith leaned from her saddle to take Clem's hand. "You've been a good friend." She smiled her own peculiarly friendly smile. "The very best friend Reuben ever had." Clem fell before her charm al most without a strugclc. "I was afraid Rube was being honked by a cold-blooded dame," ha con fessed sheepishly. "You don't know the half of It, Mr. Rogers." "Neither do you, ma'am," Clem chuckled. "He means," Reuben explained quickly, not knowing what Clem would say next, "that I'm poorei than I was yesterday." "And he'il be poorer tomorrow," Clem further enlightened Judith watching her as a cat does a mouse "and poorer still the day aftci that." Deep In the role she had set her self to play, Judith said with just the right shade of concern: Isn t it appalling the wav money is madt and lost?" "You said it. ma am. It s hardei to make than to lose these days." I m sure of it. 'It doesn't frighten you?" 'No. I've been noor all mv life I'm afraid I wouldn't know how tc act natural under any other cir cumstanccs." Her eves were hort est. Her confidence disarming Come on in and meet Gran." She turned back to the gates. uran, in her most gracious mood talked with Clem about prospect ine oil. wheat and whatnot whilr Reuben had a fragrant goodby kiss from Judith. "Don't worry, sweet." Laughter rippled over Judith's red liDS "You don't know the Goodloes if you think they worry." Like Buziards JUDITH thought old Clem rather J a Hear. He tnlrf her krw Rpithpn had looked on the day he helped to reload the cabbage. "Cold and thin as a starved rat. with freckles all over his face and no shoes on his feet" She glanced at Reuben, sartori ally perfect talking with Jim, and felt the Inexplicable pity she sc often felt when she looked at him This old Clem knew they were all cheating Reuben preying on him like buzzards He's a fighter, ma'am," Clem bragged. "He wasn't beat that dav and I've never seen him beat since." "1 believe you." "And I'm never gonna see him beat unless." Clem turned keen green eyes, not unlike his daugh ters eves, full upon her. "he runs afoul of something he can't hit back at." ' Y-yes." But she did not quite see. She only knew that Cissy a father was appraising her. That he was afraid she was the somebody who would rob Rube of his power to fight. Of his power to win. "You're getting a man with spunk, ma'am, and honesty. Can you matcli those traits?" Her blue eyes did not waver. "1 think so," proudly. "What do you think?" I'm not thinking. I'm honing everything is going to turn out swell and I wish vou luck." Thank you. Judith made a quick decision: "I'm asking Cissy to be maid of honor." W-well now Cissy will be tickled to death." But Clem was more tickled than Cissy would be. He didn't give a hoot for place and honor for him self but he wanted his girl to strut with the be.st. He left Goodloe's Choice well pleased and secretly a bit overwhelmed. Not that I am t seen Grander places." he confided to Rube. "But when it comes to class lone Boy, I reckon you're marrying it!" Reuben, his hands tense unon the wheel, his eyes upon the road, his thoughts roaming far. did not answer. Clem, cran ng his neck for a last look at gardens, meadows, hedges, said: "There's nearly a half a mil lion dollar lay-out here. Gosh unless there's a miracle you're gonna have a heck of a time living up to it!
