Ju- hie hushand, is Lampere’s lato wrriuer and fread of |Big Tom's widow aud hia treacherous daugh= ter Mathie. But Judith stands firm behind the promise made Big Tom when she was his trusted sec retary. Chapter 18 TOM BEVINS SPEAKS UDITH stood up. She bad removed the small hat and the beruffied Jacket and with it some of her girl- ishness. In the plain cream blouse, her bair drawn smoothly back in a coll, she looked more the efficient secretary they had seen at previous board meetings. “Before going into thi Mr. Chair- man, 1 wish to ask one favor. Will you please look upon me as secre try to the Iate Mr. Revine, rot as. tie wite of » member portment : tae time 1 the orders Mr. B ps periziv to the dam and to be executed in case of his death, I was not married, | went to his physician, Doctor Kenneth Kelly, to learn the seriousness of his condition. “Doctor Kelly assured me that Mr. Bevins had every chance to live te be a hundred, if he took a reasou- eble amount of care of his health. Because of this assurance, | went op with my marriage, which | had siccerely hoped would not be thrown from {ts normal course by my return to business.” She sat down, conscious that sev- eral stockholders were looking at her with new respect. Then Morton Lampere began to talk and her at- tention was literally riveted to his mensage. “As everyone present knows, our Gearly beloved colleague, so recent- L, departed, left five million dollars with this little lady.” He paused im- pressively. “He also left her the con- trolling interest in the Bevins Con- struction Company.” Another pause. Judith controlied an impulse to deme2d why she had not been called into the closed meeting if she held this power. “Prior to his departure from this world, the old gentleman had begun the development of the hobby of his life, the building of the Rio Diablo Dam. During the survey, word came to me that he was making a vital mistake, that due to certain phases 0. the river bed understandable to engineers only, it was not advisable to follow the natural bed but start an artificial channel throuzh virgin land. “Bevins refused to listen to rea- 40n and as a result we, the stock- holders, may suffer complete, loss bag our investment. ~ “In-an effort to avert this calam- ity, we the remaining members of the board, ask you, Mrs. Dale, to telinguish your claim on the money left for the purpose of erecting the dam, that we may carry cn this work ‘ceordance with the advice of our finest engineers, “We are willing to give you time tor your decision.” “You needn't.” Judith was stand- ing, eyes bright. “You may have it now!” ON'T be hasty,” warned Morton Lampere. “Hasty—" Judith’s voice was low, controlled. “M:, Lampere, the deci- flon was made for me by Mr. Bevins on the night of August 25th. He fore. saw all of this. He even knew that you would be the one to lead the In- wurreetion. “Mr. Lampere, under no condition will | resign!” Judith sat down, trembling with emotion, but with her mind alert. She saw Mathile whisper to Normaa,, but Norman did not seem to hear. Bis face was haggard and Judith ériv@'in her secret heart for the pain she was causing him. “You have made that finaly Mra. Dale,” observed Lampere with sat- fsfaction. “Now kindly accept the ‘nanimous resignation of your board tnd the withdrawal of your stock- holders.” “The resignations and the with- drawal are accepted,” agreed Judith, and turned to the men who were watching her with different expres- sions, “May | ask what you wish to do with your stock?” “I'd Uke to get my money while the gettin'’s good,” remarked one m “if you will make an appointment with my secretary, | will attend to that,” interposed Judge Morgan. “and gentlemen,” sald Judge Morgan, “1 would like to read'a mes- sage to you from this man whom you admired and respected during “L protest,” Lampere was on-his feet. “This, this is entirely out of order.” A low sob from Mathile Bevans caused the distressed focusing of in- terest in her direction. “Mr. Lampere, kindly put this to | a vote.” ‘Those present voted unanimously | to hear the message, and Judith, af- tera quick glance at Norman, turned to the judge who stood waiting for | attention. “My friends: There has come to me, suddenly and unexpectedly, knowledge that some of you are working to soon my plans, due to your desire to exploit the fer Diablo land for selfish purposes. im warned DY My 1 Cpe that i ‘haven't time tow and ae ne the past four igeter of my ind life-long friend. ety lagzlt swayed by adverse opinions, but will subjugate her individual de- sires .nd carry out my ideas. “With the storm of criticism which reorganization of the company.

However. the moral support ai strong men and J om a who Ilsten to this and, ‘stand, to supply these,’ Judge Morgan sat down and Jud- ith arose. ENTLEMEN,” she said, “those of you who’ wish to carry on with the Bevins Construction Com- pany may join me in Judge Morgan’s office in the Oil and Cotton building, immediately after the adjournment here. [t was Mr. Bevins’ desire that the new company be organized and ready to start operation immediate- ly upon the dissolution of the old, # the men at the dam would suffer no loss.” “Mrs. Dale,” Lampere was on his feet, “what do you propose to call this new company?” “Mr. Bevins proposed that its present name be retained.” “Why, why, you can’t do a thing like that. It’s preposterous, presump- tuons ... the idea ... look at that ;poor.bereaved daughter sobbing her heart out while you, you a mere hire- Mng of our beloved friend dare stand there and say that you... you will carry on a company in his name, the name of Tom Bevins.” “Lampere!” Justin Cunard, re- tired engineer, tall, taciturn, ad- iwanced towards the two. “You insult ‘the intelligence of this board. We ‘gre not a jury in a criminal court to ‘be moved by emotional appeal. It seems to me that Tom had a pretty thorough tdea of what he was doing ‘when he took his legal affairs away trom you. Now, young lady, I'm weady to join you; you may count ‘on my full time if.you desire it—” “Cunard,” barked Lampere, “it isn’t-ethical to:carry on or reorgan- ize.a company using the name.of.a deceased man against the objections ot his heirs.” “In this:case it's not only ethical but legal,” interrupted Morgan, “for it 1s so-expressed in the deceased's. papers, Now, Mrs, Dale, are you ready to leave for my office?” Judith was sure, in the hours s.hich followed, that she had said the things-expected of her, cleared doubts in the minds of the seven men who followed them to Morgan's office, discussed the matters which needed their immediate attention, ‘but all the time like‘a low cry, her ‘thoughts rang, “Norman, Norman.* 8 of the old ie will need Cunard drove her home,.He had | been made first vice-president of the mewly organized company, chairman of the new board. Judith ‘retained. the position of secretary to the late Tom Bevins, President, a | which left | peculiar arrangement, her free to carry out his pos- thumous orders. “And they needn't lose a single day's work,” Judith said of the meo a: the dam. as they stopped before Hillendale. ‘The cottage was aglow with lights and the quaint old-English standard lamps which lighted each flight of <ceps to the knoll were glowing in the purple dusk. Cunard looked at the house, then at Judith and his usually tacituro features relaxed iuto a semblance of sympatby— ; “Young lady, ifan old man’s support and confidence mean anything, you have mine.” (Copyright, 1934, by Jeanne Bowman) Judith steps inte a domestic ervei, Monday.
