THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1938. The Boovood, fami Cnapter 43 Cross Country Run i ARY looked at Judith—vivid, | vital, utterly desirable, from angry, skeptical eyes. He loved her but he did not love her enough to humble himself and confess the truth about the timber, or his hatred of Reuben, from whom he had not been able to lure: Cissy and her millions; against whom he could not hold Judith—perhaps if he had loved her enough— He said with a fine showing of his old nonchalance: “Blamed if I can fi out the secret of Oliver’s: ination.” Useless to try to tell him. She said . “I'm sorry. Don’t let’s talk of it any more, Gary.” “Of course, we'll talk of it,” furiously, “Do you think you can. make a laughing stock of me?” “You don’t really care—much.” “Tl not die of a broken heart if that’s what you mean, but I care, Judith. I’ve proved it. Pve been reasonable, generous, even about the children.’ “Generous?” “Many men would insist that you leave them here at Goodloe’s Choice or ship them back to Oliver but I’m willing to take them. I'm giving you every chance.” “Thanks, Gary, but I don’t want it—now or ever.” And before he could think of a hurtful thing to say—he wanted to hurt her badly —she had turned from him and was walking rapidly towards the house. She met Jim and Dick making their way leisurely to the overtake you,” Judith to Jim. If Reuben had not d the Curtis Camp until to- day maybe she could still get her letter back. She could never hold up her head again if Cissy found out about it. Even if Reuben had received it she could tell him it was written under stress, that she didn’t mean one word of it! She me a long distance call for the\Curtis Camp then sat down by ‘he telephone—waiting. She couldn’t take her eyes from it. If Reuben answered—if she heard his voice— Ten minutes passed. Twenty. A life time. The Christmas angel hanging from the chandelier turn- ed into a grinning, mocking demon —“Peace! Peace!" There was no peace—anywhere. The scent of ine and cedar sickened her. All his stuff would fill the house for a week—intolerable! The tele- phone tinkled. Like one hyp- notized Judith picked up the re- ceiver. “The Curtis line is busy,” op- erator informed her. “They've been connected with New York nearly all morning. Big business doesn’t stop even for Christmas,” grumblingly. Judith murmured something. “T'll try to.cal) you ir an hour.” * &n lout!’ She couldn't sit still another second.

Not three feet ahead a maple swung a low, heavy limb— “Roll off, Jim! Oh, God!” While Judith breathed her prayer, Biddy swept under the limb. Unable to free himself quickly enough, Jim caught the impact where the horseshoe pin fastened his. white stock. Riderless the mare swept on—crazily on— ws. Even before. she touched him, Judith knew.

Where had he gone so quick-. ly that all her love, all her plead- ing could not reach him? “Jim! We must go home—home to Gran! Jim, don’t you hear. dear?” The M. F. H. gave no sign, He lay at ease in the mire, a hint of the old reckless smile upon his face. Dick, his floridness washed pale, climbed down into the ditch. “You must get help, Judy.” She continued'to plead with Jim to. come home. “Judy,” Dick spoke patiently, “You must get, a doctor. Get the house — ready. You must get a dactor!” ,.. dim did not need a doctor. Ju- dith was sure of it. She wondered, numbly. if some one would stop poor Biddy before she killed her- self. Too late.

Are you having a—” A gunshot, shattering the Christ- mas peace: resouhding across the world, Reuben’s voice raised sharply-- “In heaven's name what—?” “Biddy O’Hare is dead. Jim is dead— “Are you hurt, Judy? I can’t hear you!” The receiver fell trom her hand —dangled by its cord. She went out through the snow. She sat down by Biddy O’Hare. She saw three men walking slowly—Car- rying something v>ry curefully— Jim, Gran met him at the door—The last of the Goodloes—Gran was tasting the bitterness of life. . . . Judith sat on by Biddy O’Hare. Every event of her life and Jim's passed in detail before her. They were gay little lives—not much growth perhaps as reckoned by the realists, but happy little lives sur- rounded by love, filled with laugh- ter—Just an hour ago Jim had taughed. Now— Biddy's satiny neck grew cold beneath her fingers. With grief too deep for tears, Judith sat on while the sup went down and the world grew dark. ‘Is This The End? ATEARLY 2,000 miles away Cissy tN buttoned herself into a leather windbreaker, fastened a helmet securely over her red head and looked at Reuben from eyes grown hard. Just when her plans were nearing perfection, when all her dreams were coming true, a voice, drifting across the continent shat- tered them!
