MONDAY. MAY 23, 1938, THE KEY WEST CITIZEN niin iS Se ee ———_ BLANCHE? 5) Xhe Suty 30 rat: yuan Loon lee marries self-made Reuben Oliver for his money, only to dis- cover he is bankrupt. Twins are born, Then red-headed Cissy Rog- ers, who loves Reuben and is out to get him, finds a job for him ina lumber camp managed by Gary Brent — the man Judith loves. Gary asks Judith to get a divorce, telling her that Reuben wants to marry Cissy. When Reuben dis- obeys orders by refusing to cut rotten ‘timber, Gary discharges him. Reuben and Judith’ have @ show-down avd she teaves him: Nothing Is The Same Chapter 42 OME! She might never have been away—it looked so ex- actly the same! Meadows, gardens, Jawns lying in November fallow- ness. s bare. Only the box- wood flaunting a defiant coat of green. Inside — warmth, beauty, order. “Gran! Gran—derling!” Amanhda’s frail, silk-cled arms gbout her, welcoming her royally. Amanda pretending not to see her shabbiness while she made gay plans --dinner parties, dances, ing tol 5 urs— "s hug! Jim, a bit more reckless, a bit more lovable, care- fully refraining from asking ques- tions. Enthusiastically drawing her into his plans for the prepnksgiving Hunt. Jim was M. F. H. now ani proud of it. 2 And the tour of ‘te barns— Cozy, dim, sweet with, the smell of hay. A heart ‘ing, soul warming friendliness’ here. “Hello all yout animals, I've come home!” Judith greeted them above a queer tightness in her throat. : Judith on to Biddy O’Hare—restless, reckless Biddy —pacing her box stall impatient~ ly, apparently unaware of her new son whe strove on oy to keep pace with her. ing friends with Paddy O’Hare, a splendid, proud three year old, ready for his trial hunt. And Hu- go—? Fondling the setter’s silky ears, Judith involuntarily wished that Reuben could see his dog. Old friends and neighbors dropped in to welcome her home, bringing absurd, loving gifts to the children; hunting for the family resemblance Soon these old friends would have to know the truth. Know her marriage hed failed— “I hear Gary is coming next week,” someone said idly. , “To put more improvements on his house,” Dick enlightened the group, “A stone terrace this time and a sun room,” “What next? He has the old place dressed up like a Christmas patna Ae on naps’ he is married or what?” _ “What,” Dick said. ™ Everyone laughed — everyone except Judith. In moments like these she realized the silliness of pretending she had taken up life where she laid it down three years ago. Nothing was the same. Noth- ing would ever be the same again. INg a asker witn a solitary scarlet geranium atop its coarse cover. She was seeing, actually sme!ling the turkey Mts. Kraus had brought. Hearing her say: “The one sure way to keep your man SPORTS always in the mine is te let your end down—” “To let your end down!” She heard it above the minister's pleasant voi¢e. Heard it above the choir={"To let your end down—” The peace she had Greamed of finding was not here. Gaty would answef, the. one | question he must answer before , she could forget and go forward —would tell her she was silly to doubt, to worry. As they jogged slowly home+ ward after the hunt, he was. the Gary of her dreams though his old henchalance had given place to impatience, Gary asked the ques- tions now—not Judith—demand- ed answers, “Have you told Gran, Honey?” “I—There’s been so little time. There’s no great hurry.” “If you feel that way about it, you_don’t love me.” ~ “Gary, I do, but—” “Then, let me—today—” “Today is too soon.” “Soon?”, “{ feel like an animal just free of a—a trap and—” “Wary of another?” frigidly. “Don’t be silly! I don’t intend to jet anything worry me until after Christmas. That's only three weeks “T'd like to have things settled before I go West tomorrow night. Let’s go right home now and tell Gran.” : She knew this was the sensible thing to do. She could take the in- itiative or wait—let Reuben force her, Let Cissy triumph again. She rode on silently, blue eyes focussed unseeingly upon ‘i- nona’s pointed ears.

She couldn't de that—yet. he had much to remember first— Gary telling her that Reuben ‘wanted to marry Cissy. She had much to forget too—Reuben tell- ing, her gts knew the timber was rotten.
