CHAPTER xxx

! Judy was trembling as she slip ned behind the wheel of her car. Tears stung her eyes. Marvel and Dwight were going to have baby. This would make right all the tor tured little conflicts between them. Marvel would soften, shed not be so selfish and demanding. The baby would absorb her time and emotion, and when Dwight was away at sea, her life would not be empty.
 "Oh, I'm glad for them!' Judy thought, "Glad!" Like thick fog lifting to let sunshine drench down on the dampened land, happiness was warming through her. All the doubts and fears she harbored in her heart so long were gone. Jack, who had waited and trust 1 ed, was in the hospital. She must 1 go to him. Right now! She glanced at her wrist watch. It was very late - nearly eleven o'clock. But she had to see him. Even if he were asleep. But he wouldn't be. He'd be sitting up, reading one of the books she had brought him.
 The nurse in the hospital was doubtful. we don't allow visitors so late"
 T must see him! I'm sure if Commander Sloane is about"
 "I'd have to telephone him, he's not here"
 Judy waited impatiently while the nurse phoned. At last she was told, You may go up. But I'm afraid he'll be asleep"
 "I won't wake him if he is," said Judy. "Only, I'm so sure he won't bel"
 This thing that had happened to her was so miraculous, she could not believe that Jack, who loved her, had not felt it, too. And when she stood in the door of his room and saw the pool of light from the lamp on the bedside stand, her heart seemed to give shout of gladness. He was up!
 "Jack!" She ran to him. and her lips brushed his. There was mois- ture on her cheek. He felt it, and said wonderingly, Judy, what's happened? What brought you hers?"
 "Oh, darling, darling, I'm so happy. I'm alive! Alive, for the first time in months. Oh, Jack!" She took his hand. She sat on the side of the bed. He smiled at her.
 "Jack, tell me, did you ever feel safe and sure, all the time - did you feel that it was all over?"
 Ese looked at her and said grave 1y, five been worried, Judy. But I'm not now. Something's hap pened. You're different"
 I'm alive, tell you! Oh, dar- ling, I didn't want you to know, but IT was unsure. And IT did see Dwight"
 T know that" he said quietly.
 "Jack!" Suddenly she felt the pain that he must have known, and she said, "Oh, my dear, I wouldn't have done it if had realized"
 You had to get over it." he said. Like being stage struck. You outgrew it. I was willing to wait"
 She put her cheek against his. ''That's all you've been doing, end- lessly, waiting waiting :. Waiting for me to get my sense back!" Her fingers touched his hair
 'But the waiting's over now,' he said. Isn't it?"
 "Yes. Tonight Marvel came back. And IT knew all the time

I walked this afternoon. Maybe the doctor will let me go home to- morrow"
 "Silly" She smiled at him. "If you threaten to leave the hospital before the doctor says you're strong enough, you know what I'll do? I'll make the chaplain come right up here and marry us here! And then you'll have to do what I say"
 His eyes lighted, his big arms reached for her. "Judy!" After while he said, That's not bad idea, Miss Alcott. Not bad idea at all. I may hold you to that" And he was kissing her again, un- til her heart was han1mering mad ly and the room was spinning around her.
 T love you, Judy" he said huskily.
 1T love you too. Oh, darling, I love you so muchl"
 When the nurse peered in, a moment later, she said grumpily, "Hmmnn! If you don't marry her now, Lieutenant Hanley, it just won't be respectable!"

Farther south towards Teruel the nationalistS said they had crossed the road and were about two miles south Torta- jada, a village to the right of the road leading from Alfambra to Teruel. They also crossed the AL fambra river and occupied new posi- tions closer to the eastern outskirts of Teruel.
 Close to Teruel
 Nationalist advance posts were re- ported so close to Teruel at one point that soldiers could watch what little activity was going on side the ruined city without the use of field glasses. A group of loyalists were observed cleaning up the ruins of buildings where the nationalist garrison resist ed. It was understood that a group of nationalists, who remained after the surrender of the garrison, still was alive and resisting.

REPUBLICANS OF
 STATE IN BATTLE

City, the party's 1886 gubernatorial candidate and titular head of the state organization.
 Allyn received A of the 46 votes but because of the pressure exerted in the two-monthS contest, con- solidation of the county delegation appeared hopeless at this time. The 46 county votes presents one of the strongest representations at state conventions and it was considered questionable whether this unity could be restored before the open ing of this years campaign.
 The Pryor-Bradley combination aimed for the senatorial district conventions this summer which will be their principal show of strength.
 Bradley-Swayne Clash
 Bradley, senate leader during the 1885 general assembly was defeated for the same post in the 1887 ses- sion. As head of the Fairfield coun- ty Republican organization he re- gently clashed with Rep. Noah Swayne, Darien, house majority leader over the financial operations of the party. Swayne has been mentioned as a possible guberna- torial candidate this year.
 Allyn assumed his new post as successor to the late George H. Bradford today. Prior to the open ing of the convention late yesterday he collapsed but was revived by a physician and remained through the secret balloting.

GERMANS STILL
 CLAIM SABOTAGE

Berlin, Jan. 19. (UP)-Germans still believe that sabotage may have caused the destruction of the giant dirigible Hindenburg at Lakehurst, N. J., last May 6, an official report disclosed today.
 An official committee, which in- vestigated the disaster, emphasized the possibility of sabotage and re- ported:
 Despite painstaking investigation it was impossible to prove that a criminal act had been perpetrated. The possibility of violent destruction of the airship, however, must be ad- mitted, inasmuch as it is hardly possible to prove any hypothesis as- serting that the ship was destroyed by natural causes"
 The committee admitted that the likeliehood that naturdal factors were responsible was somewhat greater than that sabotage caused it.
 '"The committee believes" the re- port said, "that it is rather more likely that a number of unfavorable circumstances caused the ignition" !"

Several others were expected to die. Two brothers were among the 20 severely burned or injured. They were Father David, 26, of Pawtucket, R. l., and Brother Alexis, 27 of Woonsocket, R. I. Tragedy piled on tragedy last night as frantic parents sough to determine the fate of their children. MT. and Mrs. Hugh Gen. dron, hurrying here from Richmond, Que, to search for their son, Emile, 12, were killed when their automo- bile was struck by a Montreal-bound express train. Authorities feared that Emile had perished in the fire.
 College Director Directs Search
 Rev. Brother Lucius, rector of the college, who had called the roll of the 160 children and teachers who had lived in the flame-swept dor mitory, directed the activities of black -robed brothers who helped firemen and police search the ruins.
 So great had been the confusion that it had been difficult to de- termine how many children and how many teachers were among the missing. A great majority were chil- dren.
 The fire was believed to have started in one of the dornitory wings. It had virtually enveloped half the building when the sleeping children and their teachers were awakened. Church bells, pealing an alarm, brought hundreds of towns people to the school to hear the screams of children running hys- terically through the fire-blocked corridors.
 Many were injured jumping from the roof or from bedroom windows. The fire spread so rapidly that no one had time to gather clothing. Survivors, clad only in nightShirts, huddled ha the bitter cold before they were given refuge in nearby homes.
 Bodies were removed to the morgue in a small hand cart with others and fathers trailing behind, awaiting a glimpse of what they feared would be the body of one of their children.

 where Hoover's plane was stationed for the night, showed no signs ot activity at the time the agents left their office.
 The secrecy with which the agents surrounded their actions gave rise to belief that they were checking other crimes against finders in ad- dition to the Ross staying.
 Must Find Bodies
 It was evident that their imme- diate task was to find the bodies of Ross and Gray. Otherwise, legal authorities said, the kidnaper could not be, convicted despite his admis- sions.
 The long disappearance" of Hoo yer and finders yesterday might have given the FBI chief an op- portunity to fly to Tacoma, Wash. to have finders viewed by witnesses in the kidnap-killing of 10-year-old Charles Mattson. St. Paul is on the direct airline between Tacoma and Chicago, scene of the Ross Crime. Children May Identify
 The three children in Tacoma are the only persons who can identify the bearded man who stole Charles Mattson and would have collected $100,000 ransom had not investiga- tors found the child's naked anc violated body before the father could arrange payment.
 In the Mattson case, the kidnapel killed his victim deliberately. An ders, who once was a. logger irl Washington State, confessed to G. men that he not only killed Ross deliberately but also killed his par tner in crime because he didn't want to share $50,000 ransom.
 On the basis of known facts, there was no explanation for Hoover's activities, and it was presumed that he made public only part of his case when he told newspapermen in Los Angeles Monday night ot Anders' arrest and confession.
 Hoover Disappears
 Immediately after he conferred with newSpapermen, Hoover disap- peared. He was next seen at the local airport last night when huge transport plane belonging to one of the transcontinental lines landed and taxied immediately into han gar that had been prepared for it
 In the plane was Hoover, his squad of G-men, and a prisoner The plane had been so long out of Los Angeles that it could have easily flown hundreds of miles of the di- rect course-as far off the course in fact, as Tacoma, Wash.
