that evening and had changed her
dinner frock for a soft negligee, Jul
dith went to her writing desk, tool;
out the letter she had written SO
carefully, tore both letter and en-
velope into little bits and dropped
them in a waste basket.
CANDY, the Scotch terrier, arrived
| ~ next afternoon.
1t was the same pup Judith had
admired at the dog show, and when
he was led into the front hallway
the little animal came directly up
to the girl. wagging his bit of a
tail expressively, and shifting as
though to say, "How do you do"
Judith vas delighted.
She stroked the dogs head,
rubbed his chin and before half an
hour had gone by they were old
| friends.
Sandy was given an elegant bed
of soft cushions and made himself
at home Immediately. Taking the
dog for daily airings, romping with
him about the house and teaching
him new tricks frightened Judith'S
days immensely.
She really hated to steal time
from Sandy to shop for the new
evening gown. but shop Judith did.
She made three trips and the third
day stepped into Fifty-seventh
street shop and there-waiting as if
to greet her-was the gown.
1t was lovely thing of slinky,
Spanish lines made from glowing
dalllia purple tulle. 1t chung closely
to the figure as far as the knees,
then the f1lmy fabric beloved and
cascaded exactly like a Castilian
dancers skirts.
There was clever banding break
ing the simplicity of the bodice and
the low-cut decolletage complicated
the perfect, sophisticated effect.
Judith, with the gown slipped over
her shoulders for a fitting held her
breath.
BY all odds it was the most be-
coming, the most exquisite garment
she had ever worn. Arthur would
be proud of her in this dress. She
was sure of that.
The rich, dark shade was the per-
feet complement for Judiths color
ing. It made the blue Of her eyes
seem darker, and her hair more
radiant. The dressmaker's skill was
shown to highest advantage over the
girls slim, rounded form.
"II take it." Judith announced
decisively, and next afternoon 1t was
delivered.
She united the wrappings with
eager fingers, drew away the folds
Of tissue paper and held up the
beautiful gown. Yes, it was as per-
feet as she remembered.

The midnight jungle was alive with count
less noises. She hesitated, trembling. The
jungle terrors appalled, her. But behind her lay
a fate worse than DEATH at the hands of human
beings. Before her lay an almost certain fate
but it was only death-sudden, merciful and
honorable death. Without tremor and with.
out regret she darted from the camp. and the
mysterious jungle closed about her.

Judith arose.

was very pale and her chin was

car and directed Bert to drive her
home.
Judith had gone to Arthur's Of

the luncheon episode.
She wanted to make 1t clear that
she had not been seeking a private
interview with Andy Craig. And his
answer had been that he would sec

The young wife was more upset
by this announcement than by the
affair at the Rookery. That had
been Tony's misdoing. This was a
thrust from Arthur himself.
Rebellious, feeling deeply abused,
Judith rode home. She did not
glance at the landscape as they
passed along. At last they reached
the house.
Harriet opened the door for her
and Judith entered. There we're a
few instructions to be given to the
housekeeper. Then Judith Knight
hurried up the stairs to her own
room, closed the door behind her,
locked it and threw of her hat and
coat.
With little sob she sank to the
bed and let the tears come.
Twenty minutes later Judith had
dried her eyes. She walked over to
her writing desk, drew out note

A long time she stared at the

Without a sound he sank limp and uncon-

stood beside hinn-for that moment at least

clenched fist.
There was only one way to
stop the train. He went swiftly
along the pasSageway, after
closing the door to compart-
ment &C."
The club car was sparsely oc-
cupied. At the upper end was
a small room in which the train
barber was at work.
Wellman put his head in the
door. He SIMPLY could not hold
the startling news any longer.
There's been a murder on
the train, Pete! In the Ar
cadia,' the next car back. Some
body's tampered with the air

"Y'know, I wouldn't do that"
came a pleasant voice from the
depths of the lather.
The form in the BARRIERS chair
sat up. There was nothing alive
about the face except the eyes.
They we're deep-Set and had q
humorous twinkle in them. He
.epeated his suggestion.
Honestly, / wouldn't stop

Obviously, it is impossible to
take anyone with a lather-
slneared face seriously. Usually
he is to be laughed at. Well
man was in no mood to laugh,
so he became angry.

''I'N handle this without ad-

the pleasant voice as the body
sank back and stretched out
again with . sigh. But words
Of wisdom still issued from the
crater OF lather. II suppose

murderer may get off. now that
his work is done. Such cour-

Wellman was already at the
door when the voice subsided.
He stopped suddenly and turned
about.
'ssay, who are you?" he de-
manded.
''Wait'll I take off tne dis.
guise." The young man reached
out and took q towel from the
stand and wiped his face clean.
He sat UP then and gazed SOM
5erly at Welln1an.

try to bury my troubles In my
