the small pyramids sending up woodsy incense in quivering s,irals. Judith hummed as she worked. She heard the 1ewsboy throw a paper to the porch, called to Lige that she would get it. and went out. Two morning newspapers lay there. She picked them up. unrolled them and smoothed them out. looking down towards the highway.
 As she turned to go in she glanced down, and stopped short.
 There, staring up at her vas her latest photograph. her best. In the next column was one of Mathile Bevins. Between them were heaped sketched bags of money. five million dollars printed thereon. Below was picture of Norman.
 Stunned she read the caption: "Rightful Heir to Bevins Money to Sue Millionaire Stenographer."
 Her eyes rejected this for some thing more surprising" Lampere plays trump card. Firm of Dale. Lampere and Morrison to take up Bevins fight Husband may fight Wife in, Effort to Regain Money for Boyhood Sweetheart"
 Judith stood on the veranda until she had completed the newspaper story. It was an interview given by Morton Lampere.
 We nave tried to be lenient with
 Mrs. Dale. because of her husband"
 sad MT, Lampere, following the
 meeting held in the offices of the
 Beyns Construction Company.
 .hut obviously, the power which
 comes with such sum of money
 has gone to her head.
 We anticipate no difficulty in
 breaking the will because we have
 plenty of evidence to prove that the
 young lady used undue influence in
 causing the aged gentleman"
 Aged gentleman" cried Judith aloud, "the idea of calling Tom Bev- ins aged at sixty-two!"
 to change his will during the ill.,
 ness which took his life.
 My partners and 1 will exert
 every effort to see. that justice Is
 done to the bereaved widow and
 young daughter"
 The newspaper in fairness had given the same prominence to the story of the reorganization of the Fevins Construction Company. They used in their lead the fact that the three hundred workers at he dam. due to her spirited refusal to com ply with request for resignation. would not lose days work.
 Judith felt heartened by this, but somehow everything save one line appeared to her to be written about someone other than herself. The lii that burned into her mind was:
 Husband may fight wife 10 re. gain money for former sweetheart" MO wonder, thought Judith. that Mathile Bevins had laughed that triumphant laugh meant. she now knew, for her ears. No wonder, Norman had been unable to face her
 She walked into the dining room -"Delphy. "she called. remove my plate"
 This done, she folded the news raper to that article and tipped 1t up against the bowl of daffodils that Norman might see it when he sat down. She went then to the tele 1 phone, called cab. then went to her dressing room. locked the doors and packed her bags.
 Norman met her at the door as she was leaving-"Judith," ne pro tested, as he saw her bags.
 You should thank me, Norman" she returned, m simply making things easy for you. Lampere told us wife could not appear against her husband and that rule works both ways. Desertion will provide you with grounds for divorce and you can i. as the morning paper ays, fight your wife to obtain mil lions for your former sweetheart :"
 She was down the steps. the startled cab driver behind her ITO the Rice" she said When they were on the highway she gave Clia's ad, dress.
 Because she worked for a morn ing newspaper, Clia worked nights and so was still in bed when Judith arrived.
 She looked up from the telephone she had wrangled to within arms reach of the bed, then spoke into the mouthpiece-"he she comes with Reno in her eye. If don't mistake the signs she'll sob it out ei. my motherly shoulder.
 "Okay. Slim. I'll call you later, stick around the field. 1 may need you"
 She slammed the receiver on the hook-"Had coffee?" she asked then take two steps left and bring up longside that gas plate. don't speak English until I've had two cups and three cigarets. You'll find the coffee in that little do-funny on top of my dresser" (Copvrioht. f9S4. bB Jeanne Bowmdn) Tomorrow, clia gives some good advice
