If thinking—or else think ne, not round and round —circles d at that expect?—that s always loved her. She's beautiful and merciless, and that is the sort & man is crazy about. Not the woman who adores him too much. A doormat. Judy'd been a doormat. That was what love had done to her. Her mind groped back—back to that green and golden day in Summerfield when Stan had told her he loved her. The wedding in the old front parlor— and the almost painful joy of feeling that she was Stan’s wife. She had thought that settled everything. That he was hers for life. No man was ever any woman's for life—unless he wanted to be. Marriage—a strangling rope about Stan's neck— Pride awoke at that—not the flerce, | hot pride of jealousy, but a bruised and wretched personal pride. Oh, no! She didn't want to hold Stan like that. Well, then—again that cold, reason- able voice in her own brain arguing— what was she going to do? An unloved wife . . . was she going to stay on here —a blind for Stan and Eunice? She could rage at Stan, she could denounce him and Eunice. ~Scourge them with words. Show them she was not such a fool—expose them to Stan’s family—to all of Lockwood—tell Fred Wilson— And then what? The cold voice sliced oss her maddened thought. d then what? She rolled her head on the pillow. ed in silent agony. She lay staring up in the dark, and questi lazed down at her. Where had she lain like this before, facing a flaming question in the dark? Oh, yes, th after their marriage. Stan had sald he was & man in hell. In hell, because he'd married Judy, loving Eunice And suddenly Judy knew what she| to do. Knew it with a ter- ble, despairing finality. She lay mo- onless the dark; so still that Stan ught she was asleep when he came and qu y got into bed e slept and had dreadful, sad dreams. Woke with & throat aching silent screams.

The window was & cold white The room looked | strange—hostile. Stan was breathing— | long, regular breaths, beside her. She | leaned on her elbow and watched him. | How dark his olive skin looked against the white pillow . She found her- self thinking of the bronze plaque of a | Greek hero's head which had hung on | the wall of the library back in Sum- merfield. The same beauty of line . . . the same finely shaped head and clean- | cut features. Seen like this, without the magnetic guard of those black eyes, one could see the willful weakness in the mouth. Judy lay down and closed her eyes | and she felt that something died in her heart. When she heard Stan getting up, she turned over and buried her head in the pillow. “I won't get up for breakfast.” “Don’t you feel well?” “Headache."” | “I'm going on out to the club. Got a date with Dart. I'm not going up to| | the office until this afternoon,” Stan | was standing before the glass krotting his tie. “Want me to send Pon up with some coffee?” “No, T'll be all right——" How hoarse her voice sounded. Surely Stan would know something had happened. But he went out. Closing the door. Closing the door on her . . . Shutting her out of his life. . . . She sat up in bed, flinging her hair | back from her face. Well . . . it was time. Face the music. .. . | She had her shower. Dressed. Went | to the big hall closet where luggage was kept. Carried her brown leather grip | and her fitted overnight bag back into | the room. How proud she had been of these when she started on her wedding | trip! They didn't hold a great deal. She left her evening dresses hanging in the closet. She wouldn't need evening dresses. The sport suits she had used on the links—they were excellent. A jersey drefw and a crepe afternoon dress. Shoes and stockings and under- | things. Her toilet articles. It was a golden October day—Cali- fornia’s Summertime. Too warm to | wear her fur coat. But she would carry | it on her arm. People pawned fur coats she'd read about it in stories. It| might come in handy. She found a plece of paper in the | writing desk in a corner of the room and wrote: “There is nothing left but to go away. You see, I saw you last night with her. It wouldn't do any good to talk about it. We always For Quick Disposal $4730 Just “4” Sets Left Monthly ranged. “Delmar” convenience and beauty to fight when we talk sbout her. I'm } going away because there doesn't seem any other way out. It was & great mistake—our getting married.” Judy left it on the folding top of the desk and put on her hat and coat. Her face looked thin and white—too white. People would notice her. She put on some rouge from her vanity case —and remembered that she had bought this case because Eunice Wilson had one of white gold and chip diamonds. It flashed back the whole Summer to Judy—as a stranger might, she re- viewed the frantic struggles of the young wife to adapt herself—to win a place for herself in this puzzling new life. And how futile that struggle and heartache had been! She picked up her grips and the heavy fur coat and left the room with- out another glance about (Tomorrow—Judy's New Start.) 43 DRIVERS CONVICTED Policeman Raymond V.
