CHAPTER X
Judith Triumphant

Though, under the surface, life upon
Blue Lake ranch was sufficiently tense,
the remaining days OF June frivoled
by as bright and Oonny as the little
meadow-blues flirting with the field
flowers.
Since from the very first the ranch
had been short-handed, the hours from
dawn to dusk were filed with activity.
Carson, who, true to Judith's expecta-
tions, had brought hack some new
ideas from his few days at the expert
mental farm-ideas not to be admitted

the Both Of June-it wasn't definitely
decided that the Langworthys were
leaving then, but at least Farris and
Rogers were-the reasons actuating
her were rather more complex than
Judith herself fully realized or would
have admitted. She liked Marcia !;
she wanted TO do at least this much
for her. Living room. dining room,
music room. library-they would all
be cleared of the larger pieces of fur
niture, the double-doors thrown open.
The string band from Rocky Bend
would come. Judith would send out
invitations to the nicer people there
and to the ranches hereabout. She
would have a barbecue, there would
be races and the usual holiday games,
then the dance. Marcia would know
nothing of 1t until the last day, when
her eager enthusiasm. would send her
a-futter to her dressing room.-

Invited, and of course most of them
would come. But Lee would come.
Judith would see to that, even II he
should hesitate.
Bud Lee had always been so self
possessed, had so coolly found her
lacking, that, piqued little, Judith
longed for the opportunity to place
him in an atmosphere where little
of his calm self-possession might be
snatched from him. If she could en-
barrass him, If she could see the red
rise under his tanned skin, she would
be giving Mr.. Lee lesson good for
his soul.
1--WE got powerful little use for an
affair like that" said Lee coolly, when
she told him. THANK you, Miss San
ford, but don't think I'll come"
Judith shrugged her shoulders as
though it did not in the least matter
to her.
do you think it would be quite nice
to her to stay away? am afraid that
she will be hurt"
Not Judith's words, but the look In
her eyes changed Lees Intentions.
IF it's for Miss Langworthy," he
said quietly, "I'll come"
The day came and Bud Lee began
to regret that he had given his prom

meat told that the barbecue was In
progress. He worked with HIS horses
as he had worked yesterday, as he
would work tomorrow. With the dusk
he went, not to the mems quarters,
but to the old cabin at the Upper End.
Again and again that day he had
thought of that look In Judith's eyes
when she had asked him to come for
Marcia's sake. What the devil did
she mean by it? He didn't know ex-
actly, but he did know that in its own
vague way it irritated him. Her eyes
had laughed at him. they had teased,
they had told him that Judith herself
wasn't wasting a single thought upon
Mr.. Bud Lee, but that she had noticed
his obvious interest in Miss Langwor-
thy.
'D-n it." muttered Lee. IT won't
co."
But he had said he would go, and In
little things as In big ones he was scru-
pulous. He would go, just to dance
with Marcia and show Miss Judith a
thing or two. He felt unreasonably
like taking Miss Judith across his knee
and spanking her. And he did have q
curiosity to see just what Judith would
look like in real party-dress.
"Poor little wild Indian" he grum-
bled. She's got the making of Won
der in her, and she doesn't even know
1t. What's worse, doesn't care"
He sat with a dead cigarette be-
tween his fingers, staring at the wind
| blown flame of his coal-oil lamp. Ju-
dlth was doing this as she did every
thing that she set her two hands on,
| thoroughly and with her whole heart
and soul. In that lay the key to her
character. There was no halfway
