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?

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.
But even her worst rears had
