There was no longer an reason for him to emain in New York: didn’t know where tc go when he got out— Sut the thing that reallv kept him befogged by doubt was the difference between Judith’s ethics and tis own. He felt her criticism ot his every move. Was filled with strange confusion. Perkaps had he »een more used to women and their ways or if he had not loved her so completely— He found her bro ding over the papers when he reached the hotel Toum—“Oliver, Oil Operator—” “I don't care.” defiantly. “I’m not ashamed.’ She managed a laugh. “It's something to move from the society column and achieve the first page.” “You co'ild have stopped it,” sul- lenly. She flung the paper angrily to the floor. “Reuben, us long as we live vou will please never refer to that again.” “1 just wanted you :o know.” He removed his:coat and moved to- wards the bathroom, “Five Chim- neys, ‘iorses. furnit-ire. cars—I had to throw them all into the maw Sacrifice them—thanks to you. It spells the 2nd.” She caught his muted note of desvair; tried to shut her ears to it. What was the use? “I asked - favor of your family today—vou needn't look so horri- fied — I only asked Jim to take care of Hugo.” Here was omething she could understand and sympathize with— his love for his c »¢ She crossed the room, took his treubled face be- tween her honds, looked deep into his eves: “Tl’m sorry Reuben.

Judith | wore the blue suit she had worn on her wedding trip. Reuben spent [three of his all too scarce dollars |for gardenias. He was very proud jof har as they followed their ex- pensive pigskin bags to the train’s | shed. They arrived at Fordney’s Gulch in sleety, windy November dark- | ness. They went directly to their new home riding with thei bags in a dirty jitney. Their house was one of a long row of low, boxike frame structures behind a fence made of water piping. There was ja pocket handkerchief of mud, | called by courtesy a lawn. Inside the house looked smaller and dingier than it did on the out- side. Dark, stuffy rooms—four of them. Reuben had to stoop at the doorway. Judith could raise an arm and touch the ceiling. There was, in each room, an electric bulb swinging on a cord. There was a drur. stove in the front room. A range in the kitchen—plenty of | wood stacked near it. Wordlessly Judith looked around. She hadn't dreamed such houses were built. Reuben’s eyes said plainly: “I told you so!” Too Deep For Tears | eu eyes were two blurred, dismayed pools of deep blue. Gradually, and by supreme effort she conjured before them a long strip of boxwood that stretched and grew until it crowded out the yellowish papered walls and cov- ered them with spicy greenness. Nearly 2,000 miles away such a hedge grew—in safety. Remem- bering, she found courage to say evenly: “Bring the bags, Reuben, and let’s see what's upstairs.” Upstairs were two slope-roofed rooms, smaller and meaner than any the servants slept in at home. A frame cfbby hole jutted out from the back one in which was a streaked bath tub that had once been white. The spigots dripped dismally. Judith slammed the door upon it savagely. She hung her silver }fox on one of the hooks that stretched in « row across the wall in place of a closet. Reuben unstrapped the bags. “I'm going up to that res.aurant we saw near the station and bring back our supper.” He refrained from looking at her. “Fine!” -She hoped her voice didn’t hint of tears. If she could keep them back until he went— When the narrow front door creaked behind him she found her misery and rebellion too deep for tears. The stained wails closed in and smothered her. Dust. Mould. Cobwebs— All around her were boxes and packing cases—-silver, china, glass, mahogany, inwood, Sheffield, linen, etchings—Gran’s idea of what was absolutely necessary to a small house. Dazedly Judith looked at them —tangible proof that she had not died and gone to some weird hell. {no town as he wolked heck te the hotel He sorldn't an it Tt wasn't becouse of the ne trousseau fice pifte 3 feminine dondads | Cieev bod those things and he A At Cisew into the nicture wv whitn Tretith et-od porsis y¥ out in bold relict.
