THE KEY WEST CITIZEN < TUESDAY, MAY 10, 1938. * fhe Story So Far: In love with dashing Gary Brent, Judith Good- oe marries Reuben Oliver for his ‘money—only to discover he ts bankrupt. Twins are born and Reuben loses a menial mining job. Through red-headed Cissy Rogers, who loves him, Reuben gets work in Gary’s lumber camp and foy- sfully sends for Judith. Through @n accident Judith’s tent ts not “put up, and when she arrives -Gary provides @ cabin for her. . Returning from the woods, Reu- «ben finds that Judith has gone to o@ dance with Gary. Jealousy and black rage take possession of him. Chapter 31 ‘Cruel To Do That!’ ACK at Plot 16 Reuben ripped off his necktie, rolled up his sleeves and fell to work as though sued by a million demons. If had labored all day he worked with frenzy now. He drove staples. Put up the ridge pole. Unaided, the canvas. Tied it down. ve to take out that stake— The tent solid at last, Reuben set up the cots. Screwed electric bulbs into sockets. Arranged the outside grill, then, still in the tl of senseless anger, went to finding Hill cabin and over the sts of Alf took blankets, les, his sleeping babies to his own rooftree and put them to bed. oe aghast, “What time is i “About twenty of two.” _ “Mercy! I haven’t been out after nine-thirty for years.” “Careful!” “It’s true—don’t give me any credit for it though. There isn’t any place to go in Fordney’s Gulch except to movies so old the films are torn. They start at seven, so unless one stopped at Lacy’s for ginger pop, one was home and in bed by nine-thirty. I don’t like ginger pop.” They were walking arm in arm, sometimes losing the path in the darkness. Slipping and tripping over loosened stones and tangled undergrowth. Finding the path again. Laughing at their blunder- ing—laughing at nothing. Pine drenched with dew made the night spicy. Above their heads a star shot. adventurous cot- tontai] crossed the road ahead of them in panicky haste. The woods whispered. “Judy,” Gary said struck by a sudden thought, “Remember the night we rode to Reisterstown hunting watermelons?” “And got caught in a terrible storm and you lost your pocket- book!” “With $2 in it, tragedy!” “Good old days, Gary!” They did not speak again until] Social Calendar TUESDAY— !~ Stone Church Service Club|Church was a vocal solo dedicat- | 6 P.M.

Every bleat of the saxo- Announcement ness. phones every throb of the drums led to his rage. Judith was there dancing—dancing with Gary. His mind went back to the day in Maryland he had her to marry him. She loved Gary—she had told him so that day. She stil] loved Gary— once he had been sure he was the better man! The dance at the pavilion dif- from any dance Judith had attended. It was as cosmo- as though it were on the of the Suez instead of the of an American forest. There the usual number of men ite flannel trousers and dark The usual number of women w of not too new gowns. re were girls carefully waved, powdered, rouged, with vivid lips and finger nails. Girls whose frocks clung like skin to their figures, There were demure little school ma’ams in comfort- able cottons or prim, serviceable silks. There were cow girls and boys from neighborii dude ranches. There were aes 4 H iit 5 £ fi i Swedes, Germans and. ith the “e bi enjoy. wi Embassy bent — while secinglt: orchestra played a tango. Judith moved gracefully through it. She felt herself coming alive, as a wilted flower freshens after a brief summer shower. Just to again! It mattered not with | whom. To feel young, free, un- troubled. Yesterday, the day be- fore, all the days—with their dull cold and searing heat, were for- gates. It was a fragrant Septem. | 5° night. The music was good. | She was not quite 23. She wanted this hour—just this hour to go on forever— Arm In Arm No until the last note of the last dance had been played| did Judith think of going home. T actually forgot my children,” Judith sighed repentantly, “I needed this night, Gary.

Don’t laugh at me, Gary! Just wait until you have children of your own.” _ She took the steps quickly and tiptoed to the sleeping porch, The bunk beds were only faintly out- lined in the blackness. Automati- cally Judith commenced to feel for disarranged coverings; to straighten themn— “I don’t feel them! Switch on the light, Gary! I~” the blood drained from her heart, “They're not here—My babies!” “Don’t be silly!” He turned from the empty beds. From her terri- ble face. “Alf has them inside.” “No I ain't,” Alf shuffled to the porch, “Mist’ Oliver done carried them babies down Piney Way.” Judith reached unsteadily for the porch rail. “Mr. Oliver?” Her lips were stiff. She could not throw off the terror that gripped her like a deadly malady. oe said: “Are you sure, “Ya-assah! Yaas, ma'am, Miss Judy! i tol’ him I’se here to mind them children but he say that’s all right and carried ‘em away.” A few feet from where Judith stood was a chair. She could not reach it. The floor rose and fell about her like an angry sea. Gary pushed the chair close. “Sit down, Judith.” In his heart | he was cursing Judith’s husband. “Ol iver shouldn't frighten you “No. Cruel to do that." Her g@ more evenly now. The world was steadying. “He didn’t mean to frighten me.” She was trying to be fair—“I thought they were kidnapped—” “Shall I get the car and drive you to your plot or shall I bring | Oliver here?” “Tll go, Gary.” Her submission angered him further. “Mist’ Oliver done took all the bags but one.” Alf informed them. As fear subsided, anger—primi- tive, savage—possessed Judith. Reuben had done this thing! Had dared to take her children—her | children!
