TUESDAY, APRIL. 13, 1938. ‘The Story So Far: The safe world of the Maryland Goodloes has crashed. T, zir securities are worthless, and Judith Goodloe is heartbroken because Gary Brent, the man she loves, has gone out west. Reuben Oliver, injured when thrown from his horse, is an unwanted guest. A self-made millionaire, Reuben offers Ju- dith’s grandmother a loan, and. is cruelly snubbed. With hatred in his heart Reuben siumbles into the garden, Chapter 13 A Bargain EUBEN did not see Judith un- til it was too late to retreat. In scarlet swim suit, she was seated upon the edge of the pool, slim brown feet in the wat-r. She saw him first. Noticed his stormy face, and asked on a breathless note: “What has happened, Mr. Oliver?” When he did not answer she rushed on to a fear that had ragged at her heart since his com- ing: “Has my brother been trying to borrow money from you?” “On the contrary, your grand- mother has refused a. loan.” In sheer relief Judith laughed: “One can always bet on Gran! A refusa] to accept money shouldn't ‘ou look so murderous.” “L—I've never been insulted be- me?” angrily, “Suppose—Gran is only, human—suppose. she had let ou?” “I wish she had. You see, 5" with a blending of pride and hu- mility, “love you.” He wondered how he .ver dared to say it. “Oh!” The heat of a thousand tees horned in her a said proudly: suppose. that is the crowning ingult “Gran would think so, but—” She was. seized with a strange trembling. She sank.down on: the grass—“But—I—I” She covered her face with her hands, Never had he felt so uttcrl: in- | adequate. He had conquered life, risen to undreamed of heights by the sheer force of his will—but he stood by helpless—a bit scared— THE KEY WEST CITIZEN any Senators Take Opening Game - He wondered what a man of her | own, world would have done un- der the. circumstances. And suddenly he knew that a man of her world would not have. forced a situation of this sort. He would have acted more circum-. spectly and with finesse—through a lawyer maybe—avoided any- thing that savored of bestowing a { favor or paying a debt. He said with a_humility that sat strangely upon him: “I’m sor- ty, Miss say and do seems to be wrong. I don’t belong here. I’m going.” “Wait—please.” Gary hadn’t loved her. This man did. It was a sop to her pride. He was trying to hate this girl as he hated the haughty old woman, fore for offering to help over §] tough spot.” Vhat,” sharply, “did you do?” a mmitted the unpardonable | in. “How?” “Suggested to your grand-| mother that she sell the box.” “You,” coldly, “should have known better.” “Why sheuld I?” darkly angry. “We love the box.

Judith's blue gaze swept him contemptuously. “You don’t even begin to understand.” “I wish I didn’t.” He was trying to hate this girl as he was hcting the haughty old woman in the library. “Your grandmother asked my advice. Before | gave it I of- fered to take up her notes.” She got slowly to her feet. “Don't you know that was only a Orde wi if oe ring money?” “E didi method of | verting aks etoquid be praiar” Most people aren't so par- 4 ae “It, wouldn't be honest—on our R woyld nirie* | * é sta ed his side with wave Of her hand. “Don't you | now we're mortgaged to the eye- | brows?

Instead she was seeing Gary, debonair, merry, as he soared away~leav- ing her again to waiting—to end- less years of waiting— The smooth purr of a high pow- ered engine recalled her. A shin- ing automobile with faultlessly liveried chauffeur rolled up the drive. In another minute this man would go away in it believing her indifferent, insulted— She was hardly conscious of her words: “You—you love me enough to—?” “I've dreamed a fool’s dream. I never expected to tell you.” She placed a brown hand upon his coat sleeve, “I’m glad you did.” His heart beat so fiercely it sounded in his ears like the roar of a cannon. “It can’t mean a thing to you.” “Tt can,” a mere whisper, “it | does.” It meant that she could cut her losses. Go on with this man or spend her life waiting— The ecstasy within him beat down everything else. Beat down common sense, the ability to think clearly—to speak. She said: “It means keeping | that,” indicating, the box, “It means keeping the only:worldJ know.” “You Ww vithoult ba “It woulGin believe that.” He could only stand mute and | staring.

As a lily growing in a shel- j tered pool— “Judith.” Just to say her name gave life a new meaning. Just to touch her hand was a cure for all the hard, starved years of his life. He knelt in the soft grass be- | | side her and smiled into her eyes. | Tt was a tender smile, Young with be the youth that had eluded him, udith!” Suddenly she felt a great surge j of pity for this man who was to | noon. |} save her from years of waiting. | Almost without her own voli- | tion she bent over and touched the wisp of hair that dipped down | upon his forehead. “Judith! Oh, God—” It was his | first real prayer. 1938, Blanch Smidh Bengesce) Tomerrow: Amanda surrenders, —__— Goodloe.

Anyway, Curry Harris and Li, Plummer have arranged the pleasure while Charlie Ketchum was to see that you had the eats. The meeting will begin at 7:00 p. m. and for all those interested, it will be informal, so if the wife insists on a new evening gown, tell her that Mr. Hurricane Eddie Strunk said it was not necessary (and see if she believes you!). Anyway, we hope all of the fel- lows will be on their best be- havior so the said wives may stay home when the said husbands are | playing golf and know that they are in good company. ee Ee TOUR!

STATISTICAL STROKES— An arithmetical game of mathe- matical minds played some sort of a six-some golf game and since it would take a second Einstein to get heads and tails of who won and who lost, let us pass over same and stop with the know- ledge that it concerned such brainy people as Mr. Handsome Horace O’Bryant, Mr. Ikey Parks, Mr. Old Bye Duke of Rock Sound Sands, Mr. Josie Lopez, Mr. Louie Pierce and Mr. Bob Spottswood.

In the ninth inning, Woodson led. off with a sharp single, and then Sterling followed him with a double, and on Howard Gates’ error, Sterling scored the winning run after Woodson was trapped between third and home. The Red Devils failed to score and it was 10. and 9 at, the‘end of the game. The hitters on the Lopez outfit who showed well for their first game was Sterling, who connect- ed safely four out of five tries; Ingraham, who hit three out’ of five, and Stanley, Kerr and, Mc- Carthy, each with two hits. “Cigarette Willie’ Gates, pitch- ing his first game of the season, was wild in spots. The fourth and fifth frames were his downfall. He struck out eight and walked eight. Hitting stars for the Red Devils were Valdez and Acevedo. Both hit good and were responsible for driving in many of their team’s runs. H. Gates and J. Garcia scored twice each for their team. Villareal, who pitched for the Red. Devils, was very good after the fifth inning, and it was one- two-three up and down in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings. In the ninth five men faced him. . He walked three and struck out three.
