Fne Stery 30 Far: Juaitn wood- loe has the code of an old Mary- land family to support her. Reuben Oliver has only the ethics of his own making. Lov- ing another man, Judith marries Reuben for his money to discover, after the wedding, that his for- tune has been lost. Reuben loves Judith desperately, but offers to release her Judith determines to stick to her bargain. Chapter 20 Gentleman’s Agreement EUBEN’S failure was as com= plete as the darkness which follows the blowing out of a fuse | in a high powered electric light. If he went whining to Clem—if he went like a whipped dog with his tail between his legs — but he wouldn't go. He’d stay here—pick up a chance! At lunch time with a humility that sat strangely upon him he told Judith the worst. “The trip is off. I've got to stay and fight for my life.” He took the envelope con- taining two long. strips of tickets from his pocket, “I’m turnin2 these in,” purposely he avoided looking at her. “then I’m going dowr. to the liner. there may be telegrams of importance.” “T'l) go with you.” “Won't it make you feel ter- ribly?” “No.” , “Ill take you everywhere some ay. She had never been on a big boat before. She was childishly delighted with everything she saw —The great wall of the ship’s sides. Rushing stewards. Laugh- ing, chatting groups of people. The cabin that was to have been theirs was Loree lined with flowers, candy, books. Belated wedding presents, that had been sent directly to the liner. Hurriedly Judith read cards. At last she came to the one she searched for—“Oodles of love and good luck from Gary,” the card read It was attached to an Indian bracelet of beaten silver and set with amethysts — an inexpensive, artistic trifle—“Oodles of love—” Judith slipped the bracelet over her wrist and held it out for her husband's inspection; “From Garv"—a bit breathlessly, Reuben glanced at it critically: “A cheap thing!” “But pretty.” “Quite. A duplicate of the one Cissy wore at our wedding.” “I thought it had a familiar look.” Judith achieved a lightness. "Ready?" Reuben stuffed a let- ter in his pocket. “Gosh. did vou ever see so much plunder!” “How will we get it all away?” “We'll let it stay!” “Let it stay? Wedding presents —bon vovene gifts—I want them, every’one.” The stuff filled four taxis beside the one they rode in. The next dav they moved from the elohorate suite to 8 roon. with bath The gay baskets with their pert hows. the flowers. the boxes, left little space for Judith and Reuben. He had to remove long stemmed American Beauties from the bath tub before he could bathe. Tle tied his tie before a mirror al- most obliterated with blooms. Forty-eight hours in New York convinced Reuben that he could not come back without readv cash. A man with more background could undoubtedly have staved off dire vovertv. but Reuben had flashed meteor like from nowhere. He was doomed to be swallowed up bv obscurity fust as quickly. unless— ‘I Refuse To Stevp’ HE had one hope—one candle still unburnt He told Judv| about it that night. “l can start again — make you comperatie. piitd it—" | i spurt of cour deserted | him. ‘He dountted “ dmedivindined even to himself. “Well?” He rushed on striving for casu- | alness: “If you will lend me $100,- | 090 of the monev I gave vou” She was too surprised for | speech The silence was so pro- lonved it curdled as cream does under sudden summer lightning. “I won't need it long” He was suppliant He should have been dominant but it was impossible to feel anything but a worm under the scorn of her eves. She said: “All thet was left from | the debts 1 signed over to my grendmother.” | “You can get it back." Ir “You're asking me to recall—a| gift?"

They glared. two savages for the mioment. “You—refuse to help me?” Reu- ben could not quite believe it. He looked at her without seeing her. His mind went back to the days when all life was shared—willing- ly or by stealth. “You refuse?” “I refuse to stoop to something I'd be ashamed to remember all my life.” “So that’s it?” “I married you. that’s my part of the bond. I'll live up to it as best I can. The money was your part— now you want it back! Well.” she raised defiant eyes to his, “you won't get it! I'm going to keep them—safe.” “Then go home and be safe with them.” angrily. A breathless moment ticked away. “I'll make all allowances for you, Reuben. You're worried.” Her fear?” H The Dark Side E surveyed her slowly. From the décolletage of her black ders arose ivory tinted, satin smooth, He felt a sudden pity for her, felt his anger oozing. “Sit down, Judith, I want to talk to you. She sat on one of the twin beds. He sat on the other. He was wear- ing dinner jacket, a gardenia. Save for the bafflemeni in his bronze the world in a sling. He said with a slight hesitance: “You know 1] have neither background nor in- fluence, such as has surrounded you all your life?” “I know.” “I have a few friends—darn good ones. I can borrow a little from each.” When she said nothing his re- sentment flared anew, “That doesn’t shock you?” “They’re your friends,” she re- minded him. He felt a savage desire to hit her, to hurt her. She was goading him too far. “I have my own notions of what’s white and what's yellow.” He smiled crookedly, “I learned to discriminate in a hard school where you 1ave to do your think- ing quickly and straight.” Not quite meaning to he found himself telling her something of his early life. Forests — beautiful. Cruel too. Cold. Hunger stalking with the wild beasts. The valiant effort of the 11 year old boy to act a man’s part. “To share with a buddy, take your medicine standing, fight for your rights. not to lie or cheat— that’s about all I had to go on.” Until now it had always been enough. She was stirred by pity of the sort one feels for an ill used ani- mal. Pity without the sympathy of kinship. Coarse men, dirty, ig- norant, rough, were alien to her. He felt something of this, but \the floodgates were opened. “Even in those days with men cursing, fighting. killing. I think I knew there would some day be you, Ju- dith. I had my dream of wife and home. It was for you I wanted power, leisure. all that was finest and best. I never want you to touch the dark side of life!” He tried again to make her un- {derstand what poverty can be—a gradua) letting down. Squalor. Dinginess. Defeat. “I'm not afraid of those things, Reuben. I'm sticking.” hey moved to a smaller hotel. gave the chambermaid the ornamented baskets. She stored the wedding presents in the closet, under the beds. She spent the days out of doors. Each evening when Reuben came home tired and dis- couraged. he found her waiting, defiantly cheerful. bubbling over with news of the day. He found her chatter soothing. t helped him to forget—for a vhile: to gather courage to face serpent-like head between them. hat would Gran think?” ‘What could she think except that I'm in a hole?
