How different her life, and his, had sha gone No Judykin No Jimmy No freezing nights and cluttered hot days in Fordney's Gulch She had promised to be' lieve in him. to have faith She started up. In all fairness the should tell Reuben Gary was bout to discharge him. Unkind to have him go all those miles to meet humiliation If she told, Gary would be furl us Reuben would be furious, too, would know she had been discuss ing him with Gary Anyway he had to get his wages It was almost dawn when Ju dith fell asleep. The twin's usual morning gab blo awakened Judith. She felt more tired than when sha went to bed but calm 'and clear-headed. The events of the preceding eve ning marched before her like so many grim-faced sentinels through whose lines she must pass. Search as sha would for escape there was no evading them, "I'll tell Reuben about his job." She was positive about the Tight ness of that this morning. It wasn't like Jary to do such an ungener ous act; to exact hij pound of flesh. Quickly she got into robe and slippers. In the bed near her own Cissy slept one white shoulder bare of hen black lace nightgown all sophistication washed from her unconscious face. Cissy looked very tired, very innocent, very de fenseless. What Would She SajT ON THE sleeping porch only the twins greeted her. Reuben was up and gone. "Velly early he go," Lu Wing, broom in hand, informed her. "Him take velly little breakfast." Very little breakfast. Reuben knew I Was worried. He was al ways hungry in the morning On the small wicker night table between the twins' cribs was some paper money weighed down with a can of talcum powder. On a bridge icore Reuben had scrawled: "Make this go as for as you can." Reuben knew! Cissv had tnlri him of course. Mechanically Judith picked up the money. Thirty-five dollars. The last she would get until until when? Panic seized her. What an ex travagant fool she had been! Had he been less lavish of her new friends she could have saved money this summer. Reuben came tonight She shuddered away from the thought, went back to it, drawn ir resistibly, could they talk things over sensibly? Would sullen, hor rid silence hang between them like a fog or would the storm break in its fury. Sooner or later they must have it out ''Up, up!" Indignantly Jimmy pulled himself up and started to climb over the side of his crib. "Up!" The slant of his eyebrows, the cock uf his head reminded her so strongly of Reubens that suddenly FLASK WINE SALE 10 GO UNDER BAN PORTLAND, May IB. vTV-Hrtall wia of forttllPrt win tn flunk alter September 1 banned ypsterdny bj th aUt liquor control commit alon.

"All right," (he agreed weakly. Pouring milk Into glasses, put ting porridge into bowls, being po lite to Cissy, Judith's thoughts went round and round like squir rels in cages "Eight-thirty now by nine tonight Reuben" Judith speedin her departing guest. She did not want Cissy un der the roof tonight when Reuben came. "Au revoir, darling. When 1 see you again you'll probably be the superintendent's wife." Cissy said. ''Have your little joke, Cissy." "I never was further from a joke in my life." "Or nearer," Judith said. "Now what did she mean by that?'" Cissy wondered as she sent her roadster zipping across the mountain, "if she told Gary what I said and I'll bet a cookie she did" Cissy stepped on the gas.'ln that case there will be fireworks galore rockets and Roman candles by nightfall. I'm going to be on hand to collect the falling stars " Judith went through the morn ing with an eye on the clock. What would she say to Reuben when he came? What would he say to her? At one o'clock Gary telephoned. "I've had to change my plans, Ju dith." "Yes?" It didn't surprise her. Wasn't Gary always changing his plans?" "I'm leaving In 10 minutes for Portland with Galbreath." Tm Mad? THAT meant Reuben wouldn't come tonight. She felt like a re prieved criminal. "I may be gone one week or six. I'm not sure What did you say, Judy Did you hear me?" "I heard. "I'm not pleased I can tell you, but I'll settle things quickly and definitely when I get back. Don't worry, darling." And so once more she was watt ing for Gnry glad because of the waiting. It was all very well to talk gayly of Reno, divorce but these things were very involved, very expensive Afraid to dwell upon the imme diate future. She had not feared life with Reuben. Had not feared poverty, illness, hunger, but she feared the uprooting "I'm a coward." she unbraided herself. "Too spineless to fight for happiness what is happiness; one round the routine or every day life, unsure though it had be come, strangelv satisfying. To nlan the children's meals; to spend long hours over books, to walk the fa miliar trails broucht her a new content. Reuben did notcometlome for the week end. He sent her money. Wrote briefly that he could not leave and to kiss the kiddies for him. That was all. Not one word for her. 'I don't want a word." Judith assured herself, but it was unbe lievable that Reuben should chango so. Cissy was the cause. Cissy got all the words now. That wasall right tool If it had been any one but Cissy! Cissy had taken Garyl True, he was back on hii knees, but the uncertainty of that period of defection would always to annoy her. Had Cissy discarded him? That was a question that would never lie asked bv Judith nor answered by Gary November. I he camp almost de serted, though Indian summer, warm, June-like lay upon the land. sometimes, tucking her babies in for the night, she wondered if this imminent upheaval in her life wai not just a figment of her imagina tion? from this distance Keuben and Gary, too, seemed unreal a; figures upon a screen. Then, jus! wnen she had begun to feel securt in her serenity, the storm burst in all its fury. lhe afternoon had grown over cast. A raw mist shrouded the camp, when Judith started tc Pike s store. Halfway down Wind ing Hill she met Gary coming up. The sight of him sent her hear: leaping. "Garry! I didn't know you were back." Got in 10 minutes ago." He cast a quick glance, about the deserted inn, then Kissrti her quickly. Funny to be surreptitious about kissing Gary "Come back to the cabin. "I haven't time." Suppressed ex citement in his voice. Something else in it something darkly threatening. "Let's walk." They continued down the hill. "Have you been to the forest Garv?" "Yes," shortly. Some of the color drained from her lovely face: "You you've losl your job?" "I? How do you get such idea Judith?" "You seem excited." "I'm mad!" The semblance ol good humor dropped from himi "I haven't lout my job. but," wit!, satisfaction, "your precious hus band has lost his." (CttrifU. mt. Hmrtt J- .,., Tomorrow: Showdown. TO LOS ANOELKS.
