S Se, SATURDAY, MAY 7, 3538, ~ ‘The Story So Far: In love with @ashing Gary Brent, Judith Goodloe marries Reuben Oliver for his money, only to discover he is bankrupt. Sticking to her bargain, she accompanies him to @ dismal mining town where twins are born. Then Reuben loses his job. pe ee Rogers, loving Reuben, schemes to throw Gary and Judith to- gether again by getting Reuben @ job in the lumber camp Gary manages. On her arrival Judith bumps into Gary, and knows the old fascination is still strong. Chapter 29 Dinner For Two BBs) came out of the winding road before a rustic cabin. It had a porch all around and a big stone chimney built on the out- side. At first glance it seemed to be growing from the primeval rock upon which it stood. “Here’s your castle, Judy.” Gary shut off the car’s engine. Judith came out of her dream- ing and surveyed the log house. “This isn’t Plot 16?” “That’s just a wooden platform tonight. You'll have to use this.” “But—” “There’re a dozen or more of these cabins scattered about. Gal-. breath built them-The Company's ofticiap use. them or the- timber smereMants,. when;; they come.

You’re going to take your first swim.” After they had floated in a great white porcelain sea, been rubbed to pinkness with soft, enveloping towels, slipped into cool little nighties and replete with bread and milk put to bed in the en- closed end of the porch where four beds, arranged ship fashion, lined the walls, Judith went in- doors to make herself presentable. She made a rite ot dressing for supper. Carefully she manicured her nails—it didnt help them much. She arched the dark wings of her eyebrows. Spread powder evenly over her tanned face. Out- lined her mouth in vivid red. Brushed her hair until it shone like burnished chestnut, then slipped into the older of the two evening dresses sh2 had brought. It was white, flimsy georgette, cut to a deep V back and front. Her shoulders arose from it satin smooth. Her neck showed a line of too deep sunburn— A reminder of Fordney’s Gulch! She never wanted to think of Fordney’s Gulch again. Hastily she searched through bags, found string of lapis lazuli beads, twist- ed them around ner offending throat, They were inexpensive beads but they intensified the blue of Judith’s'eyes) There was no trace of! weariness in the face she )Saw in the mirror. “I had forgotten I could look so nice.” She went out on the;perch to wait for Gary. ,, But for the sleeping children She could have forgotten there was anything in her life except wait- ing for Gary. For the first time in all the years. she had no vague uneasiness about his coming. She knew by some infallible, illogical reasoning, that Gary was more eager to come tonight than he had ever been. He would not keep her waiting long. She fe!t excited, young, hopeful. A different entity from the hope- less, tired Judith whu had left the drab monotony of Fordney’s Gulch —this morning?

Alf laid a small table on the porch. He placed two tall pale can- dles upon it and put maiden hair fern—iragile and cool—in the middle of it. Judith and Gary dawdled over their meal talking mostly in mono- syllables. “We'll go riding tomorrow, Ju- th.” “Td love that!” “You'll ride Kingpin, I'll take one of the Company’s horses. “It sounds heavenly but I'll be starting life at Plot 16 in the morn- ing—working like a slave,” “Forget it for tonight, can’t you?

It is hoped that a full attendance of the board will be present. GRANDPA ZIZZAGS— Last Thursday, there were 16 players in four outfits but there weren’t four foursomes, if you: know what I mean. Of course, Charlie Ketchum* had to leave after playing four. holes and so that left Old Bye Duke of Rock Sound and Mr. Cookie Mesa against Mr. John Pinder and Grandpa Bob Stowers. In a case like that you ‘would’ expect Grandpa to shoot about 49 pars on 18 holes but Grandpa was so confused during the game (bé- cause he started on the 6th hole first instead of the regular way) and says he made some _ good shots anyway, so what was the difference! He claims he couldn’t have beaten Old Bye regardless of how good he might have played but does admit he had a nice time on his first Thursday afternoon off. The Duke says he thinks he will have to get among a better class of golfers on ac- count of the present ones take so many shots that it delays him in getting home and his wife says the supper gets cold. But the an- swer to that as given by Mr. Cookie is a couple of snorts and we don’t mean the liquor variety, either. IRON MAN FEAT— Mr, Curry Harris was playing | Mr. Bascom Grooms to a stand- still. until Mr: Louie Pierce join-/ ed up and then Curry had twice the job to do but was able to be the master of two instead of one. NOW A BELLY-ROLL SHOT!— Mr. Li Plummer got out late and was practicing the hip-slip, pronated wrist, belly-roll and va- rious other shots and was talk- ing to his clubs as tho they could} answer back; however, he had as much fun as if he had some of his} friends along. He says they must! watch his next game if they want to see how a good golfer works. THE SAMS HAVE IT— Mr. William Pious Watkins and Mr. J. Russell Kerr were going to beat Mr. Samuel Harris (our genial Postmaster) and Mr. Sam-; uella Goldsmith but according to} WASHDAYS! the Washing Machine! the books Mr. Willie & Mr. Irish did not figure that Mr. Postmas- ter would knock in a few of those long putts. From the beginning Sam & Sam were ahead and at no time did Bill and Russ get within winning distance. Of _ course, Mr. Kerr was having some difficulty in hitting wood shots but Mr. Pious was missing 10-inch putts. “DINNER BELL” STRUNK— In the case of Mr. Charlie TODAY’S GAMES ste “HOW THEY STAND Detroit at New York—Auker ajoR BASEBALL LEAGUES (2-1) vs. Donald (0-1).
