RIDAY, MARCH 30, 1934. Judith Lane JEANNE BOWMAN pEnoreses Foone, o er date mier by Bio Tom fatniie Beving money we ier by Bevina to ities tor Galveston, finds Norman ith Mathile, and returns to Slim Sanford, her pilot friend, | Chapter 23 TROUBLE IN ™, hungry.” said Judith when Slim suggested dinner. “I am,” he retorted, “I’m like my ship, no tuel—no go.” j “Sorry,” she laid her hand on his sleeve and found it engulfed in one of bis big brown fists. “Forgiven ... but how about run- ning out to one of the oyster farms? It won't take us long.” “Anything.” She thought of a few things as Slim drove off in a borrowed car, with her beside him, Slim was be ing awfully decent. He hadn't asked @ single question about her sudden return. Queer how he had waited, in- sisted upon waiting, she must ques- tion him about that. He’d probably say it was a hunch. According to Slim, men who lived in the air lived also by hunches. And then they were passing through a gaudily lighted driveway. Slim was half leading, half pushing her along the edge of a dance floor, lined by long tables where couples and families and parties were din- ing. And then they were in a small room with erude wooden furniture and steaming broth was before her and Slim was urging her to try some so he'd feel at home. “Slim,” she said at length and showed bim the now empty bowl, “are there any platinum blondes in Heaven?” Slim speared a succulent oyster and regarded it thoughtfully— “Judy, 1 don't like to sail under false colors. That’s one place haven't landed. However, I think it’s safe to say only black haired girle with sea-grey eyes are al- lowed,” then suddenly, “Judy . are there platinum blondes in Gar veston?”" She nodded miserably and a tear plopped onto a half-shell. “Too much hot sauce,” scolded Slim, and then he became the Slim she had known heretofore, gay, whimsical, audacious, one mood moving into the next until she was forced to forget her woes, “Ah Jude,” he sighed hours later, as he left her at Hillendale, “I should have handled my Chinese war ord American fasbion; a punch under the chin instead of six months of diplomacy.” “But why?” “I'@ bave been back here six months sooner.” Not ttl he had left did she cated the underlying meaning of that wish. The house was dark, and yet the familiar edor of new wood and paint, of pipe tobacco and flowers intermingling, took away any sense of strangeness. It was home, She reached for familiar wall buttons but even as she reached, heard Lige uto,” he explained, comin’ she can histe her Judith waited in her room while Delphy “histed,” watted and thought of what Slim hag said. “Six months sooner.” Did be mean he might have won her, had arrived in time to try? Goodness no, not Slim, not the good looking sky-blazer who could hi hig choice of a milion girls all over the world. Yet Norman had liked “[ AW-ZER) Migs Judy, it's most fo’ clock an’ he’ah you are jess " ims My thetima! been havip* with that telamfoam. Man on there been a swearin’ fit to kill—" . . Swearing? How?” ino how, he just do. He call up "bout seven clock an say ‘Miz Dale in* and | say ‘Nosuh, I ain't Then bimemby he an’ he say ‘Miz Dale come in yet’ an’ I say ‘No, an’ he say ‘Miss Clia, she say she comin’ In an’ I say, ‘No tellin’ what Miss Judy . who called and “That's what I'm splainin’ an’ then he say when she do come in you tell her to call this numba. Tell ber... and then he begun to swear. He say Hell and Dam and Devil an’ somethin’ in a foreign langwich.” Judith leaned back with hyatert- ca} laughter, “Delphy you'll be the «did he say some- P& “Yassam, that's it, and | say ‘What you mean Deblow-dam. And then he tell me to go to the devil, or words to such affect an’ | say ‘shame to talk thataway, even to a po’ ole colored lady.” Judith explained that diablo was Spanish for devil, something Cu- nard had probably tried to do, for Delphy sat down and laughed until the tears rolled down her cheeks. “I shu’ do get things messed,” she admitted as Judith went to the tele- phone. It was late, but Judith disregard: ed the hands of the clock, which In- dicated four-thirty. “Mrs. Dale?” inquired Cunard, answering immediately. “Justin Cu- nard speaking. Miss Judith, Lam- Pere has succeeded in reaching one of our men, Received a wire at the office late this afternoon saying the foreman of construction, Mason I believe is the name, quit without notice—” “Mason—” cried Judith in aston- ishment, “he’s one of the finest men T've ever met, I can’t conceive of anyway in which he could have heen reached .. . wait!” She had been standing, now she sat down, her thoughts clicking with mechanical precision. “There’s only one way to handle that,” she said after a moment. “Wire Max Larson to take Mason's Place. I'll leave for the dam imme diately.” “Mrs, Dale,” said Justin Cunard, his voice sounding vibrant over the | telephone wire, “it is asking too much for you to leave your home and busbanéd—” “Please,” Judith’s voice was weary, “it might have been too much this afternoon, or was it yes- terday? But now it solves a difficult problem.” She felt that way as she went to her room and to bed. Regardless of how good Norman’s intentions were, or what his alibi might he for squiring Mathile Bevins whea the whole world was watching, she felt she deserved more considera- tion. Going to the dam would give them both time to consider their future actions. She slept. 'UDITH opened her eyes, and found Norman looking down at her. “Judy, I want an explanation. I tried to get in touch with you through Cilia last night and she said you'd gone on some foo! flight with that adventurer brother of hers, then 1 had the operator try here until after midnight. { got so wor vied by that time, | chartered a ship and flew up here... and what do 1 find... you in bed ... after get- ting here at four o'clock in the morning ... can you explain that?” “Easily,” answered Judith with @ hysterical desire to laugh. “1 flew te Galveston, to be with my husband. | found him slready occupied with Mathile Bevins, so 1 flew back. We developed some motor trouble and were held up on the Galveston Geld until two-thirty. Is there anything else you'd like to know?" “What do you mean you found me oceupied ?” “At the precise moment of my arrival you were dining with her at the Galvez, had dined. 1 sbould say for you were lighting her cigarette.” “And you didn’t trust me enough to come in instead of shying away like—” “Trust you... after that? Know. ing that the whole southwest fa wondering whether or mot you'll fight me to win that... that dam money for Mathile, you bave se more sense than to be seen dining in public with her .. . trust you?” Judith was amazed to find her voice rising, shriitia, “1 suppose it 14 be useless to tell you that mother invited Mathile to have dinner with ug, then mother went on to play im some tourna ment, 1 would spave.teft but ‘Tee} had to have some 1 couldn't get up and walk away from her.” “Not her,” agreed Judith with more venom than grammar. “You're so jealous of her—" “Jealous . . . of “Teel?” Judith laughed, “Oh, no, if you'd wanted her you'd have picked her up long ago to keep her out from under your feet. “Your Tilly, now, is the kind of a girl who can't get a man for ber- self, so she tries to get one belong- ing to somebody else—" “Then why—" “Why do I dislike her? For mak- ing a fool of you. Every time she whistles you dance You should bave married ber and taken a / Permanent cure, then you'd been ready to be a full-time busband to some other woman."
