PAGE TEN TIIE EVENING HERALD, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON Friday, February 21. MM. wtAg w, m CHAPTER XMV None ot lh min unit worn bout her DoIlr(t the Klrl dressed in shabby black sHtlna alone on bench facing the water. Judith studied her neighbors. There vera two old men, white haired and red-cheeked, who sat tieareit. Their rollara wero bunched up about their china to lrard oft the wind. The two men were amuinc, thouch she could not hear what thejr said. One old fellow waa tall and thin. The other shoulders were bent and one aide of his mouth moved, cbewlna; Thymlrally. Far at the left a Klrl i mat tering crumbs for tbe pigeons that wlrled nnd fluttered about her head. (Handing, gailnr off down the harbor, were several sailors. Othern In short jacket nnd jaunty caps lolled on benches aud blink ed at tbe aim. A party of femlnino sirht-socrs "pi wed Judith. chatting animated ly. Messenger boys, stenograph ers, women pushing- h.iby carri s"os were all part of the throng. Each croup waa preoccupied, ob JUvlous to the rest. Judith Knight's mind was busy, too. She. stared at the water, drawn by its restless lure. Kar in the distance great ships were beading ocean-ward. Others, re- turning from foreign seas, were teaming Into port, Staring out at tho hair horiron, (Judith lost herself In reverie. Min utes passed. Then she remember ed what had happened and her IDelanoholy returned. ' But the stir, the noise of the liver traffic waa tonic. It chal lenged the girl. For two hours she remained in (he park at the water's edge. Then site left her bench and walked to Jlie aubway atatlon. Time was no Object with Judith. She watched the long express train rumble out Of sight, then boarded a local. L Thirty minutes later she emerg ed Into daylight, she went back I to the hotel and np the elevator ,to her room. j Judith turned the key In the fetch, and swnng the door open. fl was only a little after four aVclock. bright daylight out ot floors, but here in the little room "With Its one window facing the ourt. everything was black. She anapped thi electric light twitch, threw off her hat and coat and dropped them on the feed. She went to the window and gazed out uncertainly. After those hours in the fresh air and unllght this hideous place was in tolerable. No it was not the room. Jud ith faced the truth honestly, at last. She was afraid. For !4 hours (he had been terrified by forbidding horrors she had refus ed to name. She was afraid ot what should happen when Arthur Knight knew the truth. She was afraid even ot admitting she was afraid. The whole sickening panorama passed before her mind. Why not admit It? She was beaten! Judith did not know how long Bhe stood ataring out of the win dow. An idea, vague but persist ent, was beginning to shape itself In her mind. She considered this Idea, discarded it, then went groping in search ot it again. Suppose she should go to Ar thur "No, no, no!" caution argued. "What would you say? What could you tell him?" "Tell him the truth!" came the answering argument. "Tell him all you should have, told before your marriage." "But I'm afraid" There it was! Fear of what disclosure would bring on one hand tear ot concealment on the other. The conflicting elements ot Judith's nature battled back and forth. Such tighta are not settled quickly. In this case too much wag at stake. Judith knew she had given Tony a promise to stay away for two weeks. But what was that promise except payment of black mall? She had agreed to leave the house for two weeks. She was doing this in order tbat Tony would not tell her father what she knew. Was it decent to bargain thus? Just Received k SILK DRESSES In the New Lines Some Plain and Others Figured Also Lovely New Coats and Coat Suits For Early Spring Wear The Mode Shop "Exclusive But Not Expensive" 6V LAURA LOU BROOKMAN Was such a promise binding? Oilier elements entered Into the struggle. Why, Judith asked herself, was Tour sn anxious to hava her leave? What could two weeks ternlly though they seemed to Judith do to change the situation? How would shi feci when at the end of that per iod she returned home? The tangle seemed hopeless. Oh there were points that were clear enough! Judith Knight kuew what she wanted to regain Ar thur's love and their former hap piness. he wanted this so des perately that she was atrald to gamble. To see Arthur again to tell bhn the whole story to see the light of forglveuess in his eyes! Hut no. Arthur Knight would not forgive. Judith slipped to her knees and buried her head on the bed. "Oh. tlod," she prayed, "help me! Help me to know what is right!" Sudenly she knew that was the Important thing. Not her own selfish happiness should guide her, but the thine that was right. In pleading for guidance her pray ers had been answered. Judith was strangely pale, strangely stirred as she arose. She caught a glimpse of her re flection in tha mirror and stared at it. She scarcely recoguiied herself. Her wrist watch told her It was nearly six o'clock. Judith dis robed, bathed and dressed afresh. Then she made ready to leave the room. Habit made her pause on the threshold and glance back over her shonlder. Assnred that she had not forgotten anything, she stepped Into the hall and lock ed the door. A subtle cliauge had taken place in Judith Knight's appearance. The boy in the elevator eyed her curiously, but Judith did nut no tice this. Through the hotel lohby and out on the street she moved. In voluntarily she sought the restaur ant where she had lunch. s When she had finished her din ner she paid tbe cashier and step ped into the street. Glowing electric lights beaconed but Judith ignored them. For sev eral blocks sho walked without noticing her surroundings. Then she realized that she had passed the corner where she would have turned to reach the hotel. Still she continued. She was not thinking -at least Judith told herself she did not want to think. Subconsciously her mind waa in ferment. Should she go back to Arthur? Should she remain here? The long afternoon out ot doors had made ber weary. At last Jud ith turned and made her way back to the hotel. When she waa in her room once more she slipped into the one chair and drew a long sigh. Yes, she was tired, physically and men tally. She told herself she had come no nearer to a decision. Bat that was not true. When any problem is stated and faced frankly half the battle is over. Judith was unaware of this. She was painstaking that even ing about her preparations for the night, cleansed her face carefully with cream, cleaned it with hoi water and brushed her hair. 30 strokes on either side. It was as though, by busying herself at these, tasks, she sought to forget more important things. At last, though It was still early iu the evening, she turned out the light and climbed Into bed. If Judith Knight had only known it ber decision already was made. .She had reached thu turn lng point in the searing agony ot that moment when she had slipped to her knees and cried, "Help me know what Is right!" Judith slept late the next morn ing. She took a long walk before luncheon and again in the after noon visited Battery Fark. It was as she sat watching a glori ons white liner with crimson stacks glide slowly out Into the harbor that involuntarily her two hands clapped together. "I'll do It!" Judith said to her self. "I'm going now!" In a tumult of energy she ruu ed toward the antiwar. Down the steps Judith ran. oh. she must hurry now! sho mnt hurry be fore she lost courage! A train was pulling In. Judith leaped aboard as the doors open ed, A good omen ho saw that it was au express, and the right one. The electric demon could not go fast enough to satisfy her. l.o.-al stations flashed into mrM and out again. Yellow light'. green lights, red lights twinkled in th. subterranean caverns. It all seemed slow and annoying to Ju dith's impatience. She was the lirot one out of the car when the doars i:J back. 1'n the steps she sped. She w:is breathe and runu.ug when she reached the hotel. "If 1 hurry." she Mid herself, "I can make the 4:10." She must make the 4:1! She must make it! 0:hci'wist there would be an impossible half-hour's delay and she could not reaeh the house until after five o'clock. Luckily there was ll.tle to park. Pajamas, lingerie, comb and brush nnd cosmetic were tossed Into the traveling bag helter-skelter. When they were all ill and the has lock ed Judith grabbed it up and ran She chad at the msl'.ier de lay as he hunted for her bill. "Taxi?" aked the driver sta tioned before tbe door. No. the subway would be quick er. Without bothrr.ng to answer, Judith ran down tho street. The traveling bg was not heavy, she swung onto u train, barely" su.u?czing tn before the au tomatic doors clicked shut. Jn dlth dropped into the first seat and eyed each passing station de fiantly. As they nearcd the rail way station she made hi way tc the door, ready to dash out the minute the train stopped. Off to the ticket window and dowu a flight of stairs to the su burban trains. Judiths hear bounded. There, waiting, stood the 4:10. She entered the nearest car and found a seat. A cold little shiver ran down her spl-e. "Ir he'll only listen!" Judith prayed. "If Arthur will only un derstand !" Now that the excitemeat or catching, the train waa ended, there was a lump in Judith's throat. She was afraid that Ar thur would not understand.
