MONDAY, MARCH 19, 1934. D X Judith Lane a | SEANNE BOWMAN SYNOPSIS: Judith Dale, who Just has moved into her new home with Norman, her husband, eae r Promised her old employe: belt Enatneer, Tom, Bevine, that rs it plans he die she will cai to the letter for his recla~ mation project at Rio Diablo, The task is complicated by the fact that Norman's law partner ie un~ derhandedly fighting Bevins, and Bevins’ daughter Mathile is trying g win Norman, Then Tom Bevine ies. (ff ‘Chapter 13 “ STRUGGLE. BEGINS IGE, with an eye to dramatic ef- fect, made the antouncement a proclamation: Judith, a gay Colum bine, was in the act of twirling in Slim Sanford’s arms to show Nor man and Poppy Neville, (theit new, next door neighbors) how a “swale- step” should be executed, Judith paused and stood breath- less as the servant swung back the drapés, held up a yellow-palmed hand and said—“Ma’ss Bevins is daid. He dropped daid ten minutes ago. Miss Matilda, she say Ma’ Norinan fs to come to hur, soon’s he kin git there.” Braced against Sanford’s sup- porting arm, Judith wondered hich paig was the sharper, the feree throb of jealousy at Mathile's command, or the shock of her be- loved old friend’s death, Norman waited only long enough to change clothes then with a hur ried kiss to the now drooping Col- umbine, rushed for his car. The guests left, all but the Santords. |’ Cilia, taking Judith to her room, seemed on the verge of caying something several times only to stop, light a fresh cigarette, and dash it out in the nearest “I'll call my office,” length and went down: Judith stared into the mirror. Methodically she removed paint and powder with fresh tissue, folded each piece carefully, and tossed * them into their basket. “Dead,” she thought vaguely, “he's dead, Big Tom.” “I should feel something,” she sald aloud to the white faced girl in the mirror. “I really should but I don't . ... just sort of numb... and queer,” She slipped out of her costume, then went to her wardrobe, and reached for a robe, made careful selection. She chose one of peach glow, so Norman when he returned wouldn't notice how pale she looked; peach glow with soft elder. down about the wide sleeves and hem. “Big Tom fs dead and I'm dress- ing up.” QUEER noise intruded iteelt : into her cajm. She went to the ‘window, opened it. ere were lights in the servants’ quarters and through the unshaded window pane she could see Delphy seated, apron thrown over her head, rocking back and forth and moaning. What a re- Met it must be to release pent up feelings like that. “Judy,” Clia was at the door, a tray io her hand. “Slim's beet tak- ing liberties. I felt the need of a cocktail so he shook up one for each of us.” “Thanks,” Judith accepted the drink, sank into a chints-frocked chair and sipped, thoughtfully. Of course Delphy had known Sig Tom for years. She had, too. She must run down to the office and see him, hadn't been there for a month. But she couldn't. Big Tom wouldn't be there. “I called the office,” ventured Cilia, “would you care to hear what +. what happened?” 2 “Yes .. yes of course,” replied P& Judith. She should put more warmth In her voice. Clia knew how deat Big Tom had been to her. She'd think her comptetely heartless. “It seems Mathile and Mra. Bevins were giving a dinner party this evening. Bevins came in, said he waé too tired to sit in, and would go on up to bed. “They objected because It would leave thitteen at the table. He sat in. Afterwards he started to bis room: again bat, he was needed to fill ih at a bridge table. He filled in. “He played until ten o'clock, com- plained of feeling queer, dizzy. While he was dummy he excused himself saying he was going for a drink. He got as far as the door.” Tears of pity burned Judith’s eyes. Clia saw the closed eye-lids. Her terse, dramatic style of relat- ing the scene had worked. “He died instantly,” she con- eluded. GREAT, choking sob tore up through Judith’s throat and burst. The sobs went on until Clia, thor- oughly frightened, called to her brother—“Telephone the Bevins and get Norman back here where he belongs.” “No,” Judith stood up, crying checked instantly, “he went to her the moment she called. | won’t have him,” and then she crumplei into a heap of peach-glow and eiderdown. ‘Volcés were talking in a grey dawn, men’s voices. Judith heard them. She listened. “But young man,” one was saying. “if those fool Bevins women had given Tom halt the care this young wife of yours he'd be alive now ...oh, @ comes, feeling better, was bending over her on one side, Norman was close, his arms sup- porting her. Clia and Slim were standing before the window. “Sorry, I didn’t mean... silly and feminine to faint,” she apologized, incoherently. After the doctor and the Sanfords had left, Judith and Norman went to the den, where a crackling hearth fire dispelled some of the greyness of the early morning. Judith, still in the circle of Nor man’s arm, was surprised when her husband spoke in a quick, surprised tone of voice. “Do you happen to know where Big Tom kept his will?” “Didn't your office take care of ier “Originally, but he cancelled his old one aftér that. Diablo trip. Ac- cording tothe papers, he died’ in- testate.” “Say. , “and that means?" °°" * + “Mrs. Beving will Inherit every. thing. She surmised she would last night and asked Lampere to act as administrator.” Jadith started. This was exactly what Big Tom had feared. With Lampere in control of the money and the company, he would exploit the land for his own benefit. How- ever, knowing his physical condi- tion as he did, would Big Tom have overlooked anything as important as a Will? She doubted it. “Telamfoam, Ma'ss § No'man,” sald Lige. When Norman turned from his desk, his handsome features wore & peculiarly strained look. “What is it?” Judith cried alarmed. “I find I am married to a million alre stenographer.” (Copyright, 1934. dy Jeanne Bowman) Judith hears of her inheritance, tomorrow.

SPORTS THE KEY WEST CITIZEN + ) | Stars Blank (By O. L. MILIAN) | Playing the brand of ball it takes to win. the Acevedo Stars, composed mostly of high school | boys, reached its goal yesterday j by defeating the Pirates, 4 to 0,' and snatched the league lead from the 1933 city champs in a great | ball game that was hotly fought) with the Pirates trying their darn-| est to put over a score while the; school lads strived to prevent the} opposition from being honored! with their wishes. | The fans called for a shut out.; They wanted to see the young; lads do what the. elder ones had | failed to do—put, the Buccaneers; down without a single tally, and| boy, oh boy, did the Acevedos do it! You're telling Mendoza! ; Howard Gates, with his sub-! marine ball working in great. style, and getting big league style; support from his teammates, once again proved to be the master of the Pirates. He held the hard- hitting Bucs to one safe hit! through the eighth inning and an-) other single in the ninth round.! Joe Avila, famous curve hurler, who was brought back to the wars by Mendoza, was the only Pirate player to reach third base. Peter Castro, Stars, won the inning when he dashed to get a short foul to the stands off Avila’s bat. Castro made the catch with his bare hand, and almost spiked some of the Sluggers’ ball play-! ers who were sitting on the third In the first game the Pirates took an 8 to 3 decision from the| Sluggers. Cyril Griffin, former Pirate backstop, played that posi- tion for the Sluggers and it was probably for this particular rea- son that Mendoza’s gang were; fighting like wild cats to win. The Pirates didn’t care about defeat- ing the Hamlins, but they cer-: tainly wanted to show Griffin! that they could lick him. Both clubs were playing air- tight ball until the fourth round! when the Bucs, with a_ three-hit,} five errors combination, put over! a quintet of runs. i Anthony Kelly, a young rookie, | played a good game at third} base for the Pirates in the second game, | ting average in yesterday’s doubleheader with five safe hits out of nine times at bat. Cheta' Baker, his nearest rival, also had, a good day at the bat with three! and two. Gates also hit very {good with three safe blows and a walk out of four tries. Armando Acevedo had a busy] day at shortstop with 17 chances; coming his way. His only error: gave the Sluggers two of their thrée ruhsiih fhe seventh inning. | The bex ‘scores: } First Game < SLUGGHRS:AB.R. Machin, cf . : Traynor, 1b Ingraham, 1b Cates, 3b - Fruto, If C.
