Herpaused: atid watted*for Judith to‘say-something” bat she sat mate, staring into the flames, “Judith,” there was a note of irri. tation in his voice, “haven't you any- thing at all to-say?” 4 Judith looked up, ‘her cheeks chalk white, her eyes Iimpid:with unshed tears~“What can hsay?” she asked. “Aren't you surprised... Judith?” and now she heard suspicion tn his voice, “You didn’t know this was she spoke with firm honesty, then added, “at least Mot this way.” ‘i “You mean you expected money?” ie 5 ‘0, 1 really didn’t.” ‘And uhder the cireamstance: you'll return it to the rightful heirs, he suggested gently. Judith fooked t her husband a forecast of pain to come In her eyes. To whom was her loyalty more im- “You ‘bet Jou can. Well, Kiddte, tt looks to me like -you're in for a tough time. I'll pull what wires I canto sée you*get a decent break. Most of the, boys know you and | they’ll play fair. “The ‘Unton, ‘however, may take Lampere’s word that you're the orig- inal office vampire .. . gosh, Jude, if you weren't so good looking, this would blow over in no time... but print your picture alongside of a story Mike that and nobody but your friends will believe Big Tom left his money for business only. Call me if I can help you, I'll keep you in touch with any fresh dust Lampere raises.” “Judy.” Norman stood on the reshold, looking down on her. “Honey, I'm sorry. 1 know you can’t help what has happened. Even if it is irregular for a man to leave his fortane to a stenographer, I don’t know what made me talk like that to you.” Judith stretched peach clad arms toward her husband and puiled him down beside her — “probably be- cause | was a stenographer . .. that seems to be the chief bone of con- tention according to Clia ... but more*probably Norm, because you haven't had.any sleep. It must have been ‘a strain at the Bevins, then | having Clia send for both you and Doctor Kelly.” Norman gave a wan chuckle— “Mathile was actually angry. Said one might think he was your father instead of hers.” - “He was almost that, Norman. He’d have taken me into his home if Mrs. Bevins hadn't bajked him, not that 1 wanted to live within a hun- dréd ‘miies of her, but he was a darling. You had to wortk with him day after day to realty appreciate him. ‘Wait “until “his funeral and you'll understand. His ‘poorlings,’ the people he quietly helped, will be there.” ‘HE funeral was.an ordeal. Ma- thile had insisted forman be seated with the Mourners. Norman had quletiy refased unless Judith were| invited:and Mathile had yield. e¢ with characteristic ungracious- ness.
