NOW GO ON WITH TIIK STORY CHAPTER XXIII BY morning Julia's head had cleared and sbe faced the world with more courage than she had been able to summon before Buchen'a barrage of questions. But what had Buchen meant by saying that Woodford had sug gested the prosecuting attorney ' question her? Had Woodford simply given Buchen the names of his guests, or bed be somehow suggested that Julia Craig was the most likely suspect? The thought chilled Julia, made her more than ever afraid tor, ob Tlously, Woodford bad all along been trying to shield either him self or someone else. Nevertheless, armored by the knowledge of ber Innocence, ahe faced the new day with much more calm than Amy could mus ter. Wearied Into a stupor, Julia had been able to sleep bnt poor . Amy appeared at the breakfast table pale and heavy-lidded. "I'm scared. Julia, The mom-; ' Ing paper tells of your being; questioned, and that the police say they are putting wait, I'll read it." Sbe picked np the pa per, and read, " 'Police told re porters they were putting consid erable hope in tbe testimony of Julia Craig, better known as' Nadine White, night club elnger.i who was aboard Woodford's' yacht.' - "That doesn't mean anything, Amjv And there's something I want you to do for me." "What's that?" "Don't mention that yon knew Nesbitt. I told them that I'd known Nesbitt for some time be fore the yacht trip." "But, Julia! that makes It Just that much worse tor you!" o o o JULIA shook ber bead. "It won't. And there'B no need of your being mixed np In this. Re member you've got to stick to what I told them now!" Amy's reply was prevented by a staccato knock which startled them both. Nervously Julia went to the door and opened It. The early-morning visitor was Smith Garland. "Sorry about the hour, Julia. ... Hello," Hiss Sanders." Be strode into the room in bis dy-. namic manner,, turned suddenly to Julia again. "Is there any thing I can dot" "That's nice ot you, Smith. But ..." she smiled weakly, "everything Is all right now." Garland looked relieved, "Yonll be able to go on tonight at the clubT" "Of course. I don't think they'll call me again. And Peter Kemp is going to watch out for: me." y; "Kemp?" "He's a yonng attorney t . know." Garland's forehead deepened its lines. "It I were you I'd get' someone like G. Williams Miller. He bandies Payson's affairs. I'll: speak to Tom about it. If you like. You never know what might turn np, and it pays to have good connsel, Julia." Julia shook her head. "I've already told Peter I wanted him If I need a lawyer at all." The night club operator seemed, still dubious. "All right, Julia. But I know one thing. This young Buchen Is out for blood. He'll hang this thing on some body or know the reason why. If you're easiest. . . ." His voice trailed Into a meaningful' silence. Amy got up from tbe table, her breakfast untouched. "Julia,! do you think you really ought to sing tonight?" "She doesn't have to unless she; feels perfectly all right," Garland i said. "I am perfectly all right," Julia assured them. "I'm not go ing to let them stop me now!" Garland smiled. "Good girl!" o PAYSON called to take Julia to: the White Club that night. "Feeling all right after your ordeal?" he wanted to know when tbey had settled themselves Into bis roadster and started through tbe thickening night traffic. She nodded. "At any rate, I'm feeling much better than when , you found me last night. Tom, they could have hanged me, and I don't think I'd have had tbe strength to object." "I know. ..." His lips closed In a thin line. Then: "I'm go ing to remember this Buchen." Payson turned to study Julia's sober profile. 'You're a brick to stand up under all this. The fact Is, I should be down there my self. I was on Evergreen Is . land." "Oh, you mustn't tell them that!" . "Why not?" "Woodford told thorn that some one tried to get Into the radio room. Buchen asked me If any thing else unuBual happened on the island, and I had to tell him about your attempting to use the radio 'phone. But I said I didn't know who you were." . -"I'm af raid 4k--fs bad,. Julia You see.' ) tola YooUard that night my name was i'ayson." Julia's hand flew to her thiuot., "I I'd forgotten that Do you suppose Woodford remembered?" Tom -laughed easily. "After all, Julia, I haven't been exactly a recluse In this town. And that night when I stood before Wood ford I had a sneaking suspicion he recognlted me then." "Oh, Tom ... I with I hadn't told them about It." "You had to. Buchen knew It from Woodford and be was lay ing for you." "But It looks bad, that I pre tended not to know who It was.' Payson was silent a moment. "We'll have to wait and see, Julia, and I don't think we'll have to wait long. With Buchen at the helm, things will be cracking fast on the Nesbitt case." "Let's not talk about it any more, Tom. ..." "That's a good Idea." He cmllcd down at her. "Let's talk about ns, shall we? I haven't bad a chance to tell you how sorry I am about wfcat happened at the club the other night. You mustn't mind Theresa Davis, She has a vicious tongue." "It wasn't Theresa Davis 1 minded," Julia said quietly. "But she was speaking or your whole crowd, Tom. I could tell that." . TTE released one hand from the wheel, seeking her band. "Sbe wasn't speaking tor me, Julia. That's what I want yon to be sure about." "I know. You've been grand. Tom. And I I appreciate it." He was silent a moment, threading the car carefully Into a faster traffic lane. "I think 1 get It. Julia." he said at last. "Yon appreciate It . . . but that's as far as it goes." "What do you mean, Tom?" "I mean I'm in love with yon," be said quietly, not turning his bead. "You haven't an answer tor that, have you?" "Not ... not now, Tom." He nodded. Then, suddenly. In a wholly different tone, he said, "Here we are, Julia!" Julia stared through tbe wind shield. The doors ot the White Club were scarcely visible, so great was the mob outside! "Looks as If this is going to be bigger than the opening night," said Payson In an odd voice. "I know . . . why," Julia an swered. "It's it's because ot the publicity about Royal Nes bitt." Sbe turned to Payson quickly. "Turn the car around, Tom. I'm not going in there!" He looked at her in astonish rnent. "Why, Julia?" "I won't be stared at as a a sensational curiosity! Most of them out there haven't come to hear me sing. They've come to see the girl who was qnestioned about the murder ot Royal Nes bitt." She was sobbing now. "I won't be that kind ot a success. I won't. Torn! I'll come back to the White Club when they've for gotten all this." Payson sped the car past the milling mob, turned at the next corner. "I dont blame you," he said.
