TURDAY. The Story So Far: Heartbroken because the man she loves has left her, Judith Goodloe decides to marry Reuben Oliver. This men, who has pulled himself up by his bootstraps, has one thing the aristocratic Goodloes need— money. Desperately in love with Judith, Reuben refuses to heed the warning of his partner, Clem Rogers, that unless he leaves the Maryland valley and gets back. into the fight he is due for-a financial licking. Clem’s daugh- ter, Cissy, who loves Reuben, will be the maid of honor. Chapter 17 Enter—The Bride EUBEN'’S trip west lengthened from days into weeks. About the failure of the Lutie Justis he was not convinced. “With up to the minute machin- ery the wel! will produce better than ever.” He believed that. He had to believe it. “I’m not sending one more of my good dollars after bad ones,” Clem told him flatly. “P'}] go it alone,” Reuben said. “Want to buy my share?” sneer- ingly. “Sure,” ness. That was that. For better or worse the well was all his. The installation of expensive new equipment began. The expense was appalling.

A ticker installed. Secre- tary engaged. Typists, clerks. The library was turned into an office. Telephones rang. Messengers came and went. Reuben came home a busy man of affairs, with his finger on the pulse of things. Gone was his leisure. His dreamy contentment. He was in a frenzy to recover his losses. This was not entirely due to the natural craving of a fighter for victory. I, gained im- petus whenever he thought of the Goo Iloes and he thought of them almost c_nstantly. They respected him—rich.

He plunged into some not quite sound invéstments with the reck- lessness of desperation, depend- ing upon his’ luck to see him $hrough, If he cquid stay on the job— “Would you mind postponing our trip awhile, Judith?” he asked the day he arrived home.

TODAY'S | stage was cleared, vas still morning Bid- | , vellow with a/ At last it ws five o'clock, The bishop had taken his place be- tween the long west windows, Sun streamed in on brightly at- tired women, on black coated men. An orchestra under the stair- way played softly. The brides- maids—a veritable rainbow— ushers, flower girls, assembled in the hall,.in chattering expectancy, among them Cissy, feeling as though she. was about to witness an ,execution, but: looking gor- geous as Cleopatra in shimmering, yellow brocaded ckiffon velvet With touches of golden , brown, Mammoth brown hat. Brown slip= pers with high gold heels, gold buckles that brought glances’ of praise and envy to Cissy’s lovely feet. They were wasted today. An unruly tear splashed down her tiptilted nose to the chrysan- themums ia her hands. In five minutes Reuben would be mar- ried. All her aircastles founded and built years ago in the black mud of Warder were crashing down—while she stood here with a lot of giggling people! She couldn't bear it! She broke from the waiting line, slipped through the open door. Savagely she winked back the tears that threatened to blind her, Hurriedly she walked up and down the terrace, regardless of her filmy train dragging over the stones. She mustn't cry—she must not! Her stilt heels beat it out in sharp tattoo. She must not cry— She didn’t see the messenger boy on a bicycle until he was al- most upon her. Startled she asked crossly: “What do you want?” “Telegram for Mr. Oliver. Im- portant!” “Give it to me.” Mad, Dizzying Hope aay signed for it with not too steady fingers. Her heart was racing like a wild thing. She knew pretty well what the envelope in her hand contained. The new ma- chinery had been tried out yester- day. It had failed then. It had failed today. It would fail again tomorrow. The Lutie Justis was done for. For a long moment Cissy stood like a graven image, while turbu- lent emotions seethed within her and a ‘ight wind sent the yellow train swirling about her feet. What must she do? If she gave this to Reuben now—would the wedding go on? Cissy shut her eyes. A mad, diz- zying hope surged through her. If the wedding did not go on—? She crushed the telegram in her hand. Tried ‘o crush her longings with it. No vse. This was her chance, her one chance for happi- ness. She had a right .z fight for it. It would be different if Judith loved Rube— “I'm not made of the stuff of martyrs,” Cissy decided, “I want my happiness — warm, human— here and now—If Judith is a good sport — Everything's fair in love and-war—” She was just Cissy— No one expected her to be fine and noble— “Tl get this to Rube now!” She walked towards t:.e house. An ushe- called excitedly from the doorway: “Hurry, we're wait- ing! Cissy stepped bride was coming down stairs— An old stairway. A young bride. Youth and courage — descending slowlv—step by step. Judith still walked it. a sort of trance, the leading lady in a great drama, which was unfolding mag- nificently.

A murmur like a June breeze blowing over a field of clover. “The Bride!” Subconsciously Cissy stuffed the envelope deep. into the heart of her bouquet and moved forward with the vrocession. Moved mvchanically — without sense of direction. She saw Dick lout. rotund and warm beside Reuben, very straight with taut lins. His eves adored Judith. “God.” prayed Cissy, into her woodbrown chrysanthe nums, “Don’t let her fail hirr Help her, nlease. and forget ali about me.

It seems that a lot of the boys are going to Miami to play the Biltmore on Saturday and Sunday so they have to stay home Friday evening and put their extra pair of sox in a bag. There is to be a big meet- ing for some of the wives at, the same time, too, so Mr. Strunk says that Mr. Li Plummer . will tend to all arrangements and if you do not like how it is done, » jump on Li. HAT-TALK LOSES— Mr. Samuel Harris (our genial ! *' Postmaster) said that he would take his fellow-employe, Mr. Pious Watkins, and all his eye ailments, and play Mr. Li Plum- mer and Mr. Samuella Goldsmith to a tie or a stand still. Of course, Mr. Postmaster sometimes talks through his hat; son he is a little hard to under- stand. But in this connection he’ had on a cap so you can’t lay it to any sort of chapeau. However, after the Ist hole when Mr. Post- master got a par and Mr. Willie had knocked his into the woods, Mr. Plummer was all jittery until ; he recovered his equilibrium on the 5th hole when he got a birdie | E. 4 and from then on Mr. Li was; ‘all joy and kept telling Mr. Post- master and Mr. Pious about how | bad they were losing. OUT OUR WAY!I— Mr. Old Bye Duke of Sound is getting in some practice rounds to play in Miami so he took John Pinder for a partner and Mr. Charlie Ketchum the privilege of playing with Mr. Bascom Lillywhite Grooms. Of |course, at times Mr. John Pinder was holding Mr. Old Bye up but the Duke says he does member the occasion. Probably he couldn’t remember because Charlie was nearly matching Old Bye stroke for stroke while Bro Grooms was trying to keep out of their way. not re- BLUE SHIRT GOLFER— The Rev. Joe Tolle was play- ing Mr. Ed Fechtel and pretty soon Mr. Handsome Horace O’Bryant and a pretty blue shirt joined the party but Mr. Hand- some would not say who picked out his pretty blue shirt or who makes him wear same. KEMP TUNES UP BOASTS— Mr. Charlie Salas and Mr. Hur- ricane Eddie Strunk got off to a bad start and were down during most of the game until the last couples of holes when.thet? Woke up and took the match by 3 up. On the losers’ side were Mr. Ikey Parks and 87 strokes, aided and abetted by Mr. Doc William Per- cival Kemp and 84 strokes. All of which makes Doc think he is getting some place when he can tie Eddie and beat Charlie and Ikey but of course Willie is get- ting all primed for the visiting dentists so you will probably hear a lot about Doc W.
