Desperately loving Judith, Reuben proposes to her when the Goodloe finances collapse. Gary Brent, the man Judith loves; has left her. Mar- riage to Reuben means keeping the pleasant life she has always known, so Judith accepts, By Chapter 14 Strangers To Each Other 7 were engaged to be mar- tied. ‘They had been engaged an hour, these two who were almost Strangers. They had much to say to each other, yet they said only that which could not remain un- said. All the dear foolish. inco- herencies, the breathless mur- murs, the divinely silly personali- ties, were unuttered. If their hour. Was less than perfect neither seemed to notice. They were at peace. sitting on the grass in the shade of the maple. From under long lashes, Judith looked critically at her future hus- band—at his lean brown hands, his leaf-brown eyes with inex- haustible wells of strength behind them, at his firm mouth with its elusive hint of gentleness — She wondered why she had ever thought him amusing? “He is wise,” she decided, “but he is-guileless ioo.

Silence. A hawk flew over the garden. It cast a dark shadow. “Who?” But he knew before she an- swered that it was Gary Brent. He reflected that he should not dis- like Gary, since to his idiocy he would owe his wifc. But he did dislike Gary Intensely he disliked him. The conceited ass! The dunce! “I guess most girls imagine themselves in love with Brent. He has the thing women fall for— smal) telk and flattery. You'll get over tt.” gruffly. “i'm afraid | won't. So if you nt to chenze your mind—?” “Nonsense! Did he want to stop the sun from shining? Did he want to shut all beauty from his life? He started to argue with her to convince himself ~ “You'll be much better of with me. Brent wi.l never amount to anything— you'll see” “Thet uldn’t matter, if he loved me,” simply. If anyone had told him in the o'd days that he would want to merry a girl who did not love him! A girl who was openly pining for someone else Where was his com- mon sense?

No use to preach thrift and economy to persons who did not know the meaning of the words. “Five hundred thousand dol- Jars will do it,” Reuben figured mentally, “I have half of that amount Tying idle. I'll arrange for the rest at the bank tomorrow.” He tasted ih full the power of his money. The taste, was sweet. 5 As he reached his gates Hugo’ emerged’ from some ‘bushes. and funy himself ‘upon him. “Well—well! Did you miss'‘me, old timer?” Hugo whined his delight. confide in someone. He went down: in the path, took the dog’s head in his hands, iooked deep into the adoring eyes. “She’s coming to live with us, Hugo. The princess out of the fairybook.” His voice was a bit husky. Wor- tiedly the dog licked the man’s face unsure whether his master was happy or unhappy. Perhaps Reuben did not quite know either. She did not love him— Judith, making her slow way to house with the measured tread of a sleepwalker, was sur- prised to find that much of the restless uncertainty that had been her portion since Gary’s depar- ture, had mysteriously left her. She had saved Gran, Jim, the kedge—that was triumph. She had saved herself from being one of those futile, boring women, who die by inches, crying for a happi- ness that has eluded them. ‘She loathed that type of wom#n. Mar- ried to Reuben Oliver she would be a busy person. Important. “Be- loved. Unconsciously she held’ her head higher. That evening, in Gran’s own tedroom she confided the news to her. Casually, gayly, she confided it. “Wish me happiness, darling and get ready to go shopping.” Mrs. Goodloe, at her desk, dog- gedly pace: up a long column of figures, as though in the end she could beat them down, smiled ab- sently at the gir] from harried eyes. “Wait—just a second, Judy —Fourteen thousand and twenty- nine plus six percent—” Playing A Part wrn a sweeping hand, Judith pushed the paper aside. Cap- tured the pencil. “Didn’t I tell you to wish me happiness, young wo- man? Where are your manners? I'm goingto marry Reuben Oliver.” For the first time in all the years old Mrs. Goodloe failed to meet a situation. She sat staring a long moment, then collapsed in her chair, repeating in parrot fashion: “Going to marry Reuben—” She was still laughing shrilly and crying feebly, when, an hour later, Judith gave her a sedative, tucked her in bed and put out the light. When she closed the door softly her grandmother was de- manding, over and over, to know which was preferable—to be hanged for a crime one did not commit or to get a reprieve one did not want? Judith didn’t know the answer. In the morning Amanda was quite herself. The Goodloe-Oliver engagement was a nine days wonder. “Mrs. John Walleston Goodloe announces the engagement of her granddaughter—” A choice morsel of news. A young beauty of famous family about whom romance hovered with « capital R, was not to marry Gary Brent after all, but Reuben Oliver, a man from nowhere, who had literally pulled himself up by his bootstraps and whose doubt- ful millions had grown quickly and by devious ways. Almost immediately Goodloe’s ‘The| Choice took on new life. Gay house parties—one after the other. Guests arriving at all hours, de- parting at all hours.

CHESTERFIELD’S BASEBALL WOULD EXPERT WILL BE HEARD NIGHTLY IN REVIEW OF GAMES Baseball fans who like real en- thusiasm as well as knowledge of the game from sports commenta- tors will find one who fits in Paul Douglas, Chesterfield’s baseball expert, who will review the games and players nightly at 6:30 P. M. EST. He started Monday with the season’s opening, in hi a Paul Douglas. commentator, opened his baseball broadcasts Monday. 1938 a quarter-hour broadcast over 50 National Broadcasting Company stations from the Atlantic Coast) to the Rocky Mountains. Douglas is not only one of the country’s best sports commenta- tors but a real fan who never misses a game if he can help it. He roams the parks, knows all the players, and gets as wildly excited as the dyed-in-the-wool baseball lover who does his broadcasting from the outfield bleachers and hath a carrying voice. The opening broadcast of Ches- terfield’s 1938 daily sports resume came from Boston, Mass., where Douglas came on the air aft- ‘er viewing the New York Yan- kees and the Boston Red Sox in their American League 1938 debut. He had as his guest paw star, Vernon Gomez. Later on in the season, Douglas will have “Gabby” Hartnett, Chicago Cubs’ eateher, “Ducky” Medwick, slugging outfielder of the St. Louis Cardinals, and other dia- mond stars as guest commenta- tors. This 1938 Chesterfield base- ball series fines up as a sweet carly evening dish for every fan in this territory who has a work- ing radio. i TEMPERATURES Lowest Highest last night last 24 hours 58 84 66 76 62 80 50 714 70 80 42 66 68, . 80 42 68 Abilene Apalachicola Atlanta Boston Brownsville Buffalo Charleston Buffalo Charleston Chicago Corpus Christi 6 Denver Detroit Dodge City Duluth Eastport El Paso ’ 80 Havana Helena Huron Kansas City KEY WEST Little Rock Mpls Nashville New Orleans New York Oklahoma City Pensacola Phoenix Pittsburgh * St. Louis Lake City San Francisco Sit.
