CHAPTER xIv-consinued


Judith, Judith" the girl Whispered
after the first outburst, when she
found that she was shaking pitifully
You've got to do better than this
I'm ashamed of you"
She went back to her couch, where
she sat down seeking to hold heI
Jangling nerves in check. But, despite
her intention, she sat shaking, lis
tening. MISUNDERSTANDING for even the
football of her jailer.
When Ruth was with her she at
tempted in hundred ways to gauge
the woman's warped brain, to seek
some way to set the better of her.
to gain her trsfse and so to slip away.
But she found that here was the us
ual cunning born of madness, and that
Ruth's one idea was to keep the girl
who had escaped her once but who
must never escape again. There were
times when suspicion awakened in
Ruth's mind, and she broke into vio-
lent rage, so that her big body shook
and her eyes In the lantern-light were
cruel and murderous, when Judith
shrank back. and tried to change the
woman's thoughts. For more than
once had Mad Ruth cried out:
'Tll kill you! Kill you with my
own hands to keep you here. To keep
you mine, mine, mine!"
The woman carried no weapon, but
after her two hands had once griJped
the girls shoulders, shaking her, Ju-
dith knew that Ruth needed no wea-
pom. Hers was strength greater
than Trevors', greater than two mems
If Mad Ruth saw fit to kill Judith
with her two hands, she could do it.
Sunday passed and Sunday night !,
Monday and Monday night. Judith
knew that she had accomplished moth
ing. except perhaps to make Ruth be-
Iieve that she was very much of a
coward. In Ruth's mad brain that
was little enough, since this did not
allay her cunning watchfulness. Then
Judith began to do something else.
something actively. Just TO be &C.
cupied, was something. Her fingers
selected the largest, thickest branch
from her bed OF fir boughs 1t was per-
hans couple OF inches in diameter
and heavy, because it was green. 81
lently, cautious of twig snapped, she
began with her fingers to strip the
branch. tough and pliable. Then the
limb must be cut into length which
would make it a club to be used in
cramped space. She found bit
OF stone, hard granite. which had
scaled from the walls and which had
a rough edge. With this, working
many quiet hour, she at last cut in
two the THROUGH. She lifted it in her
hands, to feel the weight of it, before
she thrust 1t under her bed to lie hid
den there against possible need. Poor
thing as it was, she felt no longer
utterly defenseless.
Once Mad Ruth, lighting the Ian
tern, had dropped a good match.
When she had gone. Judith secured
It hastily, hiding it as if it were gold.
She knew that now and then Mad
Ruth went down the cliffs and to the
cabin across the chasm. Always at
night and at the darkest hour When
she heard her go. Judith rose swiftly
and went to the heavy door. Always
she found 1t locked; her shaking at
1t hardly budged the heavy timbers.

GRAIN FUTURES
FINISH Lower
Liquidation Develops After
Price Swings.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Grain futures
finished fractionally lower on the
board of trade today. Price swings
were narrow.
Definite weakness in wheat came
late. After numerous irregular price
swings, persistent liquidating de-
veloped. Bears were induced to I'M
load by visitation of beneficial rains
over the Canadian spring belt. The
selling precluded efforts Of strong
commission houses to absorb offers.
The lighter country movement also
played a prominent part in the ad-
vance.
Corn was inclined to follow wheat.
Coupled with the fact that the prom
ised bumper crop yield has been so
we'll advertised was the precipitation
in southwestern dry territory. Both
conditions served to discourage
buyers. Oats trade was narrow. The
closing prices showed fractional
losses. Provisions were higher.
