And now guess I will have to take
q dose of my own medicine, or rather
fill the prescription that I have given
to hundreds of other folks. Many ar,
the times when I have heard people
tell me and others about having the
worst cold, and many are the times
/ have replied that / knew the best
way in the world to get rid of it. Then
they would ask me to tell them how,
to which / always replied, "Outlive
It." SO this morning I, myself, have
the worst cold, plus also a sore throat
SO I will have to start to living in a
hurry SO that I, too, can outlive it.
Yesterday afternoon a fellow I did
not know got out of his car and left
it standing by itself right in the
street He went in one store for
about a minute and rushed back out
to what he thought was his car and
started to open the door to get inside
when he suddenly saw lady sitting
in the car So he quickly apoligized
and found his car next door.
Burlie Elliott and Mrs. Burlie spent
the whole day in town Monday instead
of their usual Saturday afternoon.
He must have had a load of tobacco.
He grabbed me by the collar and told
me some one wanted to see me- He
dragged me on to his car where we
found Mrs. Elliott with nice little
present for us and the Jones chillun.
And how we all are enjoying it, as it
was something very eatable.

Judy had no intention of hurting
such an admonition at the digni-
fed lawyer. Now she heard the
words and didn't regret them.
That's what he was. Let him
take it!
He laughed and she joined the
sound, mournfully.
Then the lawyer said: "Your
father is coming in in q few mo-
ments. He may be I'M the outer
office now. Wouldn't YOU like to
see him."

up.
your father" the attorney re-
minded her.
ooh, yes!" So quickly she had
forgotten him.
He had been waiting and now he
came into the room smiling at her.
He held out a hand and kissed her
lightly on the cheek. He made q
humorous remark about her inde-l
Npendence. She saw that he took
it as a wilin. He did not under
stand that she wanted to build
solidly, that she wanted roots that
went too deep for any economic
upheaval, that money was not i'm
portant so long as one had food
and clothes, freight and books.
The conversation was casual.
Mr.. Heaton left them. Judy ex-
planned thatsshe would like to keep
her apartment. In an impulsive
moment she invited her father and
Sarita down for dinner.
"You have a cook?" her father
asked.
mo, a woman who comes in to
clean three times a week, and gets
dinner when ask her to. But I
can cook"
NssWhere did you learn, my dear?'
"At one of those expensive
schools to which you sent me-the
one in Switzerland. I remember
that I liked it because we had such
rich cream and chocolate for pas
tries and buildings"
And during those same years
Ronald had been rising early to
make white gravy in the kitchen
Of a southern school, so the other
students could have it on their bis
cults; he had been seeding lawns;
moving, working an honorable
way to the place that he held to-
day.
She knew that her father would
not understand any more than Mr..
Heaton had. The lawyer came
back. The conNezsation turned to
Ronald.
TOO bad that young
protege of yours getting involved"
Mr.. Rogers said as though Ronald
were any young man with his name
in the paper. II liked him the few
times / saw him."
To Judy an idea had come. She
drew a deep breath, leaned for
ward. Maybe she really could
help Ronald!

TEARS MADE dark screens fol
her eyes as Judy ran from the
studio to the rest room. She would
not cry. Crying was weak. You
had to fight on, fight up! It was
the only way that you scaled any
wall, low or tall.
She still clutched the newspaper
that she had been reading. She
had not finished the story accusing
Ronald Of jury bribing.
She wondered why the lmewl-
edge that Abbey and Ronald had
severed their engagement did not
cheer her. Was it because she
wished so much for Ronald to have
the girl he desired? Or was it
because this change could mean
nothing to her so long as Ronald
cared for the other girl?
She perused the story further.
Now the tears were banished
and quick spots of color dotted
her cheeks. Life could be so cruel,
could deal so many blows at one
turn of the wheel. She knew that.
In just such a way she had lost
Craig, her father and mother and
love and security.
The story stated that Ronald
Birrell probably would be sus-
pended from the law firm of
Heaton and Heaton, and probably
disbarred from practice. IF that
happened, he would go away.
Away
Out of her life forever. Broken,
hurt, lost! But he wouldn't give
up. Some place he still would
fight
All the time, she thought, she
was powdering her nose, putting
on her hat and coat, picking up
her pocketbook and gloves. She
left word at the receptionist's desk
that she had been called away sud-
denly.
She must see Mr.. Heaton, con-
vince him that Ronald was inno-
cent.
The senior attorney of the
famous old firm greeted her with
outstretched hand. $50 you did
come, Judy!"
Of course he thought she had
come to talk about her father, to
make amends and be accepted in
the family again.
She sat down and shook her
head. II came, Mr.. Heaton, but
about another matter" She
opened the newspaper that she had
brought along. Surely you Of all

before.
