 With the realization that she'd found a staunch friend in Eden Harris, Judith's dark philosophy changed as the days went by. Vir- ginia Bent noticed 1t almost at once; and she told Bob, "JudyS coming out of it now. l was afraid for a while that she wouldn't. But she isl"

 And 1t was indeed a different Steve who met Judith Howard in the little restaurant around the corner from the building where she worked. He wore new suit "a better suit than he had owned for 8 long time. He seemed ut terly sure of himself now. and much more like the Steve Fowler who had, so long ago, offered to see that her ice skates were sharpened properly.
 "It's been long time," he said, looking at her across the table.
 "Yes," Judith said, avoiding his direct gaze. T know 1t has, Steve"
 "Why did you let me see you today when all the other times you refused?"
 She looked up at him. Because it'd been such a long time. l thought we could talk now--so- berly and sensibly."

 The question startled her. What reason would there be, except that-well, that he wanted to see her?
 i've heard about you and this fellow Jarvis" Steve was saying coldly. And I understand there's some doctor you've been running around with, too"

 Her swift anger seemed to soft en him. But Judith, .. doesn't the fact that I still care what you do-doesn't that mean anything to you? Doesn't 1t mean that I still feel the way always did?"
 T don't know what it means, Steve. All I know is that we came to the end of things for the two of us."
 But that isn't true" he said quickly. Judith, l. I've had some luck. It looks now as if I'll be able to do what I wanted all along. Marry you on an income that will let you quit your job."
 Judiths intake of breath was sharp and clear, as though some- one had frightened a belt at her waist. There 1t wasl Suddenly, unaccountably, here was the thing they had both wanted. But what frightened her, what sent the blood from Judith Towards face, was not the sudden realiza- ton that Stephen Fowler was of- fering her a marriage that meant a whole new life relieved from office routine. What frightened her was the knowledge that his proposal struck no ecstacy into her being. She liked Steve, yes.

DEFER ACTION
IN SHIP TIE-UP

Fresh Federal Intervention in
the threatened West Coast ship
ping tie-up was discussed yester-
day at a lengthy conference be-
tween Edward F. McGrady, as
sistant Secretary of Labor, and
the Maritime Authority.
Out OF the meeting came a de-
cision by the commission to with
hold any new steps to avert the
strike, pending the outcome of
negotiations now underway be-
tween Marine labor union leaders
and steamship owners. Under the
temporary truce in effect, the
present working agreement has
been extended to midnight, O.
tober Is.
McGrady, who returned yeSter-
day from San Francisco, said
leaders of the Marine unions are
vigorously opposed to arbitrating
benefits they are enjoying under
the present agreement, and that
the major conflicts are hours of
work and use of hiring halls.

Internal Revenue collector, began
gathering a betting fund at once.
Now they can find no one to
cover their wagers, Owthwaite de-

I'VE are tired of hearing loose
talk that LandOn is going to
lose Kansas. We are going to
call every bluff from now on just
as we called that California
bluff. We offered to cover any
amount of money up to $4,000,
and all we get from that CalifOr-
nian is a lot of silence. We
aren't soliciting wagers. because
