'YOUR GROCER STAR, WASHIN Do TUESDAY, T HAS HAPPENED 8O FAR. i nning, living tanley Oarter, chum, Stan is CHAPTER IL PSTAIRS, alone in her own bed room, Judith changed into her traveling suit. It was more dreamlike than ever up here in the quiet, hear- ing the muffled, soft roar of voices down below in the front of the house. Surely this wts not her wedding day. ... It took off the big white tulle hat which framed her faece and slipped out of the white georgette dress, the whole affair increasing in strangeness as her image in_the mirror grew familiar. fully folded the dress and tucked it into ihe packed trunk awaiting the express- man by the window. Her wedding dress! . . . How often in childhood days had she and Rosa- mond Curley planned their wedding gowns. White satin they were to be, with long trains. It was part of the changed order of lthings that she should be wearing a ready-made dress, which she had driven | over to LAceyville to buy three days be- |fore. A dress turned out by a factory lfor no one in particular. It had not even fitted her. Miss Buckbee, the seamstress, had to be called in to make the necessary alterations. There had been no time to have an outfit made. Stan had to get back to his own home {town. They had to marry in haste. . . . Her going-away suit was her Easter |suit. She remembered how she had ved for it for two months after pay- g Aunt Hetty her board money. Judy’s | salary as assistant librarian at the Sum- merfield Circulating Library had been small and the price of many a denied ice cream soda, of a movie admission, had gone into that gray crepe suit. it. Judy bad a knack with hats—even these smart, close-fitting felts. The rope of pearls about her throat had belonged to her dead mother. Noth- ing new about the outfit—nothing but the circlet of diamonds on her left hand—that ring which said she be- longed to Stan Carter. Stan had not given her an engage- ment ring. There had not been time for that. But this wedding ring had all the splendor of an engagement ring Diamonds and platinum—nothing like it had ever been seen in Summerfield before. Stan said he had driven over to Laceyville, the county seat,’ and Lought it. Laceyville was bigger than surprised anything so exquisite could be found in its jewelry stores. It made her 1ealize something she had lost sight of in the rush of the past few days. She | was marrying a rich man—rich as such things are counted in this town, that is. | " Everything ready—the trunk closed | and locked. One more look at the bag- gage tag to make sure that it was prop- erly addressed. Mrs. Stanley Carter, Lockwood, California. How odd to think that she was Mrs. Stanley Carter of Lockwood, Calf.! She paused for a moment at the door, her eyes roving around the room in ich has been her own as far back as W |che could remember. . . . The writing high school to her for a | graduation present.’ | going to miss her. | " The pear tree pecking in between the white frilled Swiss curtains. Judy’s | mind brushed the memory of Summer |days when she plaged dolls under its | branches with Rosamond Curley or | Maudie Watson—long, golden after- | noons dreaming up in the boughs with a | book. Nights when she had lain in bed listening to the warm Spring rains | dripping from the leaves. When the pear tree bloomed next Spring she wouldn't be here to see it Perhaps the pear tree was doomed. This house, th! and_given {70 years, had been sold to Mr. Arnett, the banker. He was going to put three modern bungalows on the ground. Everything had changed. Hot, unshed tears in her throat choked back when she heard Phil's booming whisper up the stairs. what the heck's keeping you? out here champing on the bit. Come on—the engine’s running. You can make a grand sneakaway!” The next issue of the Summerfield Argus was to describe this wedding to- day as “one of the social events of the year.” Miss Helena Higgensbothem, so- clety editor, was one of the guests eat- | ing “cake and coffee now in the front was more unbelievable than ever as she | She care- | She had made the hat which went with | Summerfield, of course, but Judy was]| silent good-by—this quiet white room | | the mirror. Poor Ken—he was | old plaece which had been a home for | bl “For the love of Pete, Mrs. Carter, Stan’s | parlor. What Phil Davis called 8 “grand sneakaway"” Miss Higgensbothem was to put thus: “The hasty marriage plans were carried through, and, the ceremony ended, the happy pair left on the overland train for Mr. Carter's home.” What Miss Higgensbothem did not know, what Phil Davis did not guess, was the secret panic of the bride as her very new husband rushed her along the station platform to the car. Judy twisted about to wave to Phil from the train steps. She had never been especially fond of Phil—never very | intimate with him until Stan had come to Summerfield to visit. But she had known Phil always. He was the last link which bound her to the town she had known all her life. She felt a lump |in her throat as the train started and | Phil’s braad, grinning face moved from view. Judy crushed her face against the glass. The station rolling by, the Sum- merfield sign on the freight shed. Gath- ering speed along Rallroad avenue, where the trainmen and factory hands lived in_small white cottages with dusty sunflowers growing in the | front yards. Rattling over the river trestle, where a group of youngsters-in | swimming yelled and waved, as she and Rosamond and Ken had yelled and waved at trains years ago. She caught her breath and tnrned from the window. Stan was fishing in a | suitcase for cigarettes. Even through | her forelornness Judy found herself no- | ticing that narrow, good-looking head. | The thick black hair ending in a clean- cut line at his tanned neck. Something | abcut the beauty of Stan's head that made her artistic fingers itch to draw it. Tall and slim and darkly hand-| some—and he was hers—he was her | own husband! Tremulous tenderness | welling in her heart. Oh, she loved him so! Dear God, let him love her as much! Let them always be happy! She was nervously alert to do the right thing—not ‘o make a break and have Stan think she was crude. Stan, who had come from a wealthier family; Stan, who had traveled and instinctively knew what was correct. Judy felt she would die of shame if Stan thought she was provincial. She had spent the night on a Pull- man before. There was that time of the State Convention of Librarians, when Judy had gone up to the capitol with Miss Briggs. But how different that had been! An upper berth. They had not gone into the diner. but had eaten the sandwiches Miss Briggs had brought along in a shoe hox and washed them down with ginger ale bought. from the train boy. They had not been able to get seats on the observation plat- form, and all of the long, hot afterncon Judy had sat by a sunny window, hem- med in by the inert form of Miss Briggs, who snored delicately under an initialed white lawn handkerchief. But Mrs. Stanley Carter had a draw- ing room. She had to stifle her delight in the extra couch, the smal table, the inclosed washtstand, because Stan took it so as a matter of course. Where Judy Denning had packed her own suitcase, now an obsequious red- cap disposed of Mrs. Carter's grip be- fore pocketing the tip Stan gave him. From beneath her lashes Judy tried to see the exact amount. She must know what to do in a similar case. Not for worlds would sh%ask Stan. Before they nt into the diner for dinner she arranged her hair before Her face was flushed, her like stars. She knew she had ed 'so pretty— | never wanted to be so pretty. | “I feel like an eloper! Are you sure | we didn't dream all that this afternoon, Stan? The wedding service and all?” “Oh, we're married right enough!” Curious emphasis in his words. “You're my wife!” Stan pulled her to him, holding her lips hard againt his own {3;5 a moment—a strange, deliberate After dinner they sat on the obser- vation platform watching the country reel back to the accompanying click of the rails.

GET RELIABLE RELIEF | Sinus headaches usually attack be- tween the temples over the eyes. You often find tender spots if you press a finger on your forehead in this sinus area. Don't tinker with a sinus headache. Don’t “dope”” yourself with headache powders or tablets. Medical authori- ties clearly prescribe the pleasant, easy-to-use nasal douche. A million en- thusiastic people say Sinasiptec in warm water is ideal. At first use this several times a day; then morning and night till the condition has cleared up perfectly. | This treatment makes a wonderful | difference in the way you feel. You can breathe freely. Your head is CLEAR. Sinasiptec is the discovery of a St. Louis doctor, and is the new way to nose and throat health. Helps prevent head colds, sore throat, catarrh, neu- ralgia, and serious sinus infection. All unknown blackness, carrying her with it—carrying her into a strange, new life | at breakneck speed. She was suddenly | tremulous—morbid “Oh, thunder!” Judy scolded herself, | “I'm acting like a silly convent girl. | I won't be sentimental and ridiculous.” | She went back through the lighted, | Sinasiptec at low cost on a written money-back guaran- tee of satisfaction.
