‘The Story So Far: Judith Good~ Toe, of an old Maryland family, snarries self-made Reuben Oliver for his money—only to discover he is bankrupt. After a poverty- stricken period during which twins are born, Reuben gets work in a lumber camp managed by Gary Brent — the man Judith loves.

Stooping to pass through it, he tossed her a crooked smile that reminded her absurdly of Judy- kin’s when her feelings were hurt, “You’re making another try for Brent, eh? Wish you luck this time!” The flap fell shut behind him— “Wish you luck this time!” Reu- ben’s words echoed through the tent; echoed around the world. They made a roar like thunder. Judith, waiting for the rever- berations to die away, stood star- ing at the still swaying tent flap like one hypnotized.

The suddenness with which he came to this decision quelled his Tage, steadied the dizzying land- slide. The time to act was now. But first he went to the pool for a swim. The cold water stimulated and banished, for the time, his weariness, He went to the commu- nity hall for breakfast. He ate a good one. By eight thirty he was rapping on the door of Gary’s cabin, Alf admitted him. “Mawni ote Yo'll' come after co “I came to see Mr, Brent.

Reuben took the chair Gary pushed forward, declined a cigar- ette. “I’m deeply grateful for your courtesy to Mrs, Oliver.” It cost him something to say that. And Gary knowing it did: “I'd like to do more—for Judith.” “Thanks,” Reuben said and ad- ded without preamble: “I know T’m making an unheard of request for a woodsman but I'd like to Tent that cabin.” “Impossible, but you’re welcome to use it until it’s wanted.” A “I wouldn’t consider that,” stif- ly. “Why not?” “I don’t relish favors,” blunt) “or being put out over night.

He said: “Sit down, man!” He thought: “It’s my one chance to pepedudith here.” Suddenly keep- ing Jrdith where he could sze her every day was the only important thing in life. He said: “How long do you want the shack?” “Until [ get a better job or,” with a slight smile, “until you dis- charge me.” Gary longed to do just that— right this minute—but that meant Judith would go away too. He said: “If the season picks up— there’ll be the devil to pay if we can’t house the buyers when they come.” “You just said that isn’t likely.” “It isn’t, with building at a standstill.” under Reu- remind you Their eyes met, held.
