CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE

CHAPTER THIRTY THREE
A RTHUR KNIGHT was going to
n get well.
Late March merged into early
spring. Yellow sunlight, not yet
warm enough to take the nip from
chill air, showered its deceptive ra-
dance over all outdoors. Here
brown shrubs became tufted with
foliage.
Gradually since the tense strain
of anxiety had lifted in the Knight
household its members resumed
their usual habits. The atmosphere
OF the dwelling changed. The home
began to catch up with the world
outside it.
Judith acquired the habit once
more of walking for an hour or so
each morning. On these eXpedl-
tions Sandy always went along.
A faint tracery of color crept
back into the girls cheeks. The
tragic, brooding look WAS gone from
her eyes. She was still too thin,
but so improved in appearance that
the doctor began to pay her COM
plimentS.
Each afternoon Judith spent sew
eral hours with Arthur. The two
nurses. Miss Owens and Miss NAL
lory. were still in charge. Their
patients convalescence was to be
guarded against the least possible
dancer of a relapse.
There were flowers now In the
sick mans room-a large bowl OIL
tulips. usually, as we'll as fragrant
potted hyacinths.
When Judith was there she sat
In a low chair close to the bedside
where Knight could see her without
shifting on his pillow or raising his
head.
When he was tired of lying in one
position the nurse lifted his Shout
ders and rearranged the pillows.
Such effort was too much for the
mans dwindled reserve of strength.
1t YVES pathetic to see him lying
so still and feeble, but after the
anguished loneliness Of the week
past. to Judith this seemed slight
tax.
Knights voice was barely above
whisper. He had been cautioned
20 spare himself even this exertion
and most of the day he was silent.
His brown eyes, though, remained
on Judith whenever she was in the
room. With her nearby he seemed
to drift into contentment.
Junior was nearing the close OF
his weeks absence from school. He
and Tony both visited their fathers
4 bedroom daily. Tony's manner was
quiet and tender.

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO (Contin'
ued)

After the surgeon disappeared the
house was quiet for what seemed
an endless period. BY midnight
Tony had fallen asleep on the daV-
EXPORT. Judith noticed this ana
rose mechanically.
She left the room and returned
with a blanket which she spread
carefully about the girl. Junior had
moved to one of the chairs. He
watched suspiciously.
Hadn't you better try to take
= little nap, too?" Judith asked.
The boy shook his head.
It was 2 O'Clock when they heard
the doctors step on the stairs.

In unison they appealed to the
man.

weary. He put one hand to his

brave enough to voice the words.
The doctor studied an instant.
"I think he has more chances
than he has had all week. Yes,
we're going to do all that we can
and we're going to hope"
Judith's hand went to her mouth
She turned her back so that neither
the man nor the boy could know
what emotion was written on her
face. Her shoulders shook slightly
but when she turned about again
her self-control had returned.
"Doctor-when are you going to
let me see my father?"

living room fireplace. Arthur Junior
followed after her.

find everything you want there"
Are you going to stay here all

Judith Knight was very tired, but
she did not realize the fact. That
peculiar antitoxin which the body
itself produces at times to carry
mortals through periods of stress
and strain when their strength is
taxed superhumanly was at work.
She could not sleep. She had
slept but a Scant dozen hours in
the last three days. And still she
wanted to be near while Arthur

Guess I'll wait, too" Junior told
her. He settled himself once more
in his chair. Within half an hour
Junior was asleep and Judith
tucked a robe about him just as
she had Tony.
t 6 o'clock she went upstairs
IA and knocked at the door OF the
sick room. Miss Owens face ap-
peared through a two-inch crack.
The nurse was smiling.
"Restingl" she whispered. "Oh,

moved away. Her blue eyes were
starry.

Out of the darkness there came to him from
across the water the sudden and unexpected
sharp staccato of an exchange of shots. Then
the scream of woman. Wounded as he was,
Tarzan of the Apes did not hesitate as the notes

bound he cleared the bush--there was
splash as the water closed about him-and With
powerful strokes he swan through the equa-
