Soe TT i ' i | on ‘The Story So Far: In love with dashing Gary Brent, Judith Goodloe marries Reuben Oliver for his money, only to discover that he is bankrupt. Sticking to her bargain, she accompanies Reuben to a dismal mining town where her twins ate born. Then Reuben toses his job. At their lowest moment in walks red- headed Cissy Rogers who is still after Reuben’s love. Scheming to get Judith and Gary together again, Cissy finds Reuben a job in the lumber camp Gary man- ages. Chapter 27 The World Stands Still F- SURPRISED Judith that she missed Reuben so They hadn't been very congenial. When he had no work she found him terribly in the way. crowding the already crowded tooms with his blunder- ing masculinity, but now that he was gone she missed his strength. his unfailing good nature. his help- fulness, “It’s funny what marriage—even & loveless marriage—does to one,” Judith thought, but she had not much time to philosophize over it.

But even ese luxuries, enjoyed for the mo- ment, left a taste bitter as gall in Judith’s mouth. as she planned ways and means of_ returning Cissy’s money. When Reuben got his first month’s salarv she would start putting by $10 at a time—$20 if she could. Each night she fell asleep planning. When he had been working al- most a month. Reuben sent $50 and wrote: “The Government has a camp at the forest's edge, adjoining Gal- breath’s lay-out with their people managing things.

The old car panted protestingly. Above its exhaust was a faint tan- talizing odot of pine. Passing tour- ists waved goodnaturedly as they whizzed past: “We'll tell ‘em you're on the way, sister!” “Thanks!” Judith tried not to think enviously of Cissy’s high powered motor. She turned her thoughts determinedly to the cool night ahead. — Gary! ‘HE children awoke, hot, tired, n s.

Cars were parked about what }ooked like a combination gift shop and general supply store. Group: of people— comfortable, careless, frierdly— stood about chatting. In the dis- tance, through trees, could be glimpsed rows of white tents. Be- rm the store was the post of- ice. Feeling at least 100 years old | and unspeakably dirty, Judith got stiffly out of the car and entered the post office. As she hoped there raised wooden platforms and out- side grills.

Damp-Dries..Automatically Happenings Here Just Ten Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen Key West played host to about 300 Shriners last night. Many of these were awaiting sailing of the Governor Cobb. for Havana this morning. More than 200° were served at the La Concha. Hotel last night at a sumptuous dinner, while about 100 or more were en- tertained at the Over, Sea, Hotel. The downtown section of the city presented a lively scene all yes- terday afternoon and the early part of the evening, with hun- dreds of the Shriners moving about the city taking in the sights. An immense crowd of the Shrin- ers assembled at the railroad sta- tion this morning in readiness to board the steamer for Havana. Several hundred were represent- ed, coming from every part of the country. They embarked on the Governor Cobb. Arabia Temple of Houston, Texas, with 125 mem- bers, which spent the night at the hotels, were members of the larg- est party leaving, while Bencke- tim Temple, of Charleston, W. Va., was also largely represented. There were many other smaller sroups from different sections of the country. i pS CE Losing ‘his wallet last night on Duval istreet and having it re- turned to him this morning was the experience of Clyde Paul, a Shriner from Houston, Texas. The wallet was returned before he found he had missed it. The billfold, which contained a large amount of money in travelers’ checks, railroad and _ steamship tickets and other valuable papers was picked up by Hastings Pio- dela in front of the hotel while passing with the street sweeper early this morning. Mr. Paul thanked Mr. Piodela and had a number of nice things to say about the city and the many citi- zens he has met since his arrival. The Latinas will meet the Young Sluggers tomorrow morn- ing at Gato Park. The game will start 10 o’clock with an excellent lineup of players on either side, and a fast moving game is prom- ised. A girls’ bicycle club was form- ed last night at the home of An- nie Lois Hicks with eight charter members. The girls will meet every Friday night and dressed in knickers take a ride over the city. ~~ DEEP DISH APPLE Ses Imagine doing a week's wash without your hands even touch- ing water..Hard to believe, bet a marvelous fact with the Ben- dix ‘Tome Lau andryy the suc- cessor to. the washing machine.

At least is seems this is the case when one notices the 1927 tags on the automobiles. An express shipment of silver bullion valued at $600,400 passed through Key West recently from Havana en route to the United States mint at Philadelphia to be converted into Cuban coin. This action on the part of the govern- ment is believed to be the first step of the government in carry- ing out its stated intention of calling in all American coin in circulation and using instead the country’s own money. This is the first shipment of the kind to pass through the port and the lo- cal express agent has not been informed if there is to be another.
