ee 9 ee Se eee ee ee : The Story So Far: In love with dashing Gary Brent, Judith Good- loe marries Peuben Oliver for his money—only to learn he is bank- rupt. Birth of twins, unemploy- ment and poverty follow. Then Reuben gets work in a tumber camp Gary manages and joyfully sends for Judith. On-Judith's ar- rival Gary provides a cabin for her and takes her dancing. Re- turning from the woods Reuben discovers what has happened. Blindly angry he removes the babies to his tent. Terror, then rage grip Judith when she comes back to the empty house, Chapter 32 The End Or The Beginning? Mos hastily about the dim, fragrant bedroom, picking up small garments, comb. brush, her faded blue linen—flinging them all into the open bag, Judith tried vainly to down her growing re- sentment. Why couldn’t he have Jeft her here to this white bath, to these firm smooth beds, to com- fort for just one night? Judith shut her ears to common sense. Reuben was sulking. Jeal- ous of her comfort. A dog in the manger. Because he had ‘failed to provide all this himself. Her nerves were still quivering, her pulses not quite steady. The tent at»plot 16 was dark as Egypt under its’pine-tree: Neith~: er Judith nor Gary saw the khaki igure, sitting in the openi, ing the old car to a wi ‘id: “I don’t no light in the window to guide the wanderer 4) “Everyt is right-as a trivet,” Judith assured him. “Drive my Rolls backeto your plaee. Gary. You can return it tomorrow.” “I'm thanking you for! the most wonderful evening!” Terribly he wanted to kiss her but he didn’t | ™¢; even touch her hard. “Goodnight, Judy.” “Goodnight, Gary!” He got into the car and rattled away. Judith stood for a moment watching the red tail light dis- appear, then she turned and went slowly up the slight incline to the tent. A tall figure arose wraithlike and filled the opening. “Reuben!” At the sight of him her anger burst into a flame that defied sup- pression. He had been listening, eavesdropping. “Why didn’t you ge sooner, Jack-in-the-box?” éariness and black rage tied his tongue. He stepped aside to allow her to-enter the tent ahead of him. Judith held back. “You go first and make a light.” Stooping his tall length Reuben went inside. Judith’ followed, slowly, uncertainly, blinking at the sudden harsh light which Reu- ben switched on. For a fleeting second they stood staring, silent—a few yards be- tween them—the width of the world between them. Each knew + was there. Neither tried to span it. Judith was startlingly aware of a new virility, a new poise about the man who was her husband. His hair, so lately released from the barber’s administrations, had been worried by restless fingers until every hair stood tumbled, vital and dully bronze. His shirt, turned in at the neck, displayed a length of sunburnt throat. It modellei his superb shoulders. Shining puttees drew attentior to his straight legs— With effort Judith turned her attention from him to the tent with its taut white sides, its slop- ing top—deep enough to divide into three rooms— Useless to preten! interest in the tent. Reuben's masculinity dominated it; filled it to overflow- ing.

Judith, hardly knowing what she did, picked a piece of wrap- ping paper from the floor and started to fashion a shade for the electric bulb. “No use to awaken the children.” Reuben made no attempt to steady the swaying light. “I don’t believe dynamite could disturb them.” If they had essayed no more conversation al] might have been well, Fate was giving a chance but they would have MEETINGS HELD EACH EVENING list A.

Sha’ had’ be- littled him publicly—“You were lucky to get here.” “How do you-mean—lucky?” “In that pile of junk let Gary Brent drive it. Let him see their poor makeshifts. Let him see the pass to which her marriage had brought her— “The. drive -up was pleasant compared to my arrival here.” “Not trying to tel] me you didn’t enjoy meeting Brent?” “I was referring to having no place to-go. To feeling like a home- less animal.” She knew she was being unfair but she kept right on, “You provided no place for me. If it hadn’t been for Gary—” If it hadn’t been for Gary! The jin its fury. He could t now. ‘And so you accepted the loan of a house.” Judith shrugged: roof between friends?” “If you take thaf-attitude—” “What other onecan, 1 take?

You preferred to humiliate “ didn’t give you a though “Your frankness is refreshing. What sort of fool do you think I am?” Landslide H® shrug was more deadly in- sulting than words. “You're going to give me a thought from now on,” hotly. “Yes?” lazily. “How long do you think you can go on cheapening me?” “I—? Cheapen YOU? Impossi- ble.” He looked at her—a dark wom- an in white, with blue beads around her neck—the woman he had put on a pedestal; the woman who could make a mushroom of him—coldly and critically he looked at her and hated her! All the suppressed resentment that had been seething against her since his wedding ‘day todk fire. Every superior smile and-uplifted every real or imagined condescen- sion clamored for outlet, for re- ning of a landslide—rocks, trees, houses, grass, earth—all being loosened, seeping and tumbling down a vast mountain, colliding violently one with the other, swept by the hurricane of his “Cheapening me to Brent—” Her laughter scorched like hot lava spit from a voleano: “You over rate your importance.” “You over rate yours. You're a woodsman’s wife,’ he gloated, “just a woodsman’'s wife.” “Need you remind me?” “Yes, When you accept favors I can’t return—” “No. one expects you to return them.” “So?” If her eyes had not been so contemptuous—“As Brent's wife you'd have perfect right to one of those cabins. It's too bad you didn’t marry him before I came along.” “He didn’t want me—then.” “You're trying to tell me?” “It may not be too late.” Mad beyond all power of reasoning. “Aha!” The white sidesjof the tent seemed inadequate hold his rage.
