It was a queer drama, this in which she was playing an unwilling Jeading role. Mrs. Bevins and Ma- thile, in heavy mourning, sat on one side and close beside them was Norman Dale, her husband, repre- senting his friends’ interests against those of his wife. Judge Morgan, to whom Big Tom had turned when he found Morton Lampere not trustworthy, motioned Judith to continue reading, and she bent her head again, above the let- ter.

There was more, much more. Mrs. Bevins asked certain clauses be repeated and Judith, listening, felt relieved to learn her former employer's wife would receive the rentals from the Bevins Building, averaging one thousand dollars a month, and the property on which the family home was located. Mathile, received a like allowance from other sources, both Mrs. Bev- ins’ and Mathile’s bequests to be controlled and held to one thousand dollars a month each by Judge Morgan. The will and the various docu- ments pertaining to it were re placed on the desk. Judge Morgan had announced that was all, and had arisen as though expecting the others to leave, when Morton Lam- pere held up a restraining hand. “A word with Mrs. Dale, please. Mrs. Dale you have heard the read- ing of the will and with your intellf- gence I know you have felt the in- justice done the widow of our late friend. Now Mrs. Dale, 1 wonder if you haven’t something to say to us here before Judge Morgan?” Judith regarded the man a long moment. She had been seeing him around the offices for years but never before had she sought to find the man beneath strikingly hand- some features. Pleasant, suave, too pleasant she decided. “Mr. Lampere, I have my instruec- tions from Mr. Bevins and | shall respect and obey them to the best of my ability.” DITH'S voice was clear as she poke and her eyes rested on her husband, rather than the man she was addressing, as though she hoped he would understand. “I'm afraid we've pressed you a little too early,” Lampere coun- tered suddenly. “You go home, take time to get over thi; er grief at your former employer’s death and 1 am gute that such a competent little business woman you've al- ways proven to be, you'll find some thing different to tell us.” “My decision is final.” “Oh-come now,” he spoke to her as though she were a child to be eajoled, “you're just overwrought. You know that the Big Tom was ill or he would never have gone outside his own office to have the will drawn up. Mrs. Dale you know very well that Big Tom -never had a better friend than I——” “Mr. Lampere,” Judith’s grey eyes Were blue-black with anger, “before you commit yourself further ('d like to let yor know that the rea- son Mr. Bevins went to Judge Mor- gan instead of to you was becau: he found he couldn't trust you; he found that while representing him you'tried to use your political power to coerce a superior court judge into usitig his judicial Influence to ob- tain an injunction against Big Tom's purchase of dam——” “Judith!” Norman Dale was on his feet and acrns; the room facing his wife——“Judith, apologize to Lampere for that insult——” “It is an insult, isn’t it Norman,” she conceded sadly.
