imprisoned"
Judy put the handbook away.
She could not return it to her
father. He would wonder at her
change of heart. The money could
stay in the bank, draw it's per
cent, and some day, if his fortunes
toppled above his head again, she
would hand him the book.
But that time might never come.
If it did, she would not be caught
in its meshes. She was making a
good life Of her own. Then she
brought her thoughts back to Ron
aid, the easiest thing in the world
to do. Since she had admitted
proudly and silently that she loved
him, day and night her world re-
volved about him.
Quietly they went on with the
work-sorting, arranging, putting
things in a big box, several smaller
boxes.
They inhabited a world of their
own. Tomorrow the tides of time
and chance would break over them,
but tonight there was no past, no
future-no, that was not true.
There was only the past, nothing
but the future. This hour they
separated the two. It would be
blotted out in the stronger current
of remembered days, and unlived
days.
When the telephone in the outer
Office rang, they did not heed it at
first.
Then Ronald said: "The switch

She was standing at his side when
he picked up the telephone which
connected with the open line.
She heard his sharp exclana-

He sat down in a nearby chair;
and his face was scowling.
Where are you?" he seid
quickly.
He held the mouthpiece neare,

CHAprER "A
HELEN WELSHlMER

THE NEXT two days were the
longest Judy ever spent. They
dragged as though iron weights
held back the hands of every clock
in Manhattan. She would look at
the jeweled wrist watch, which her
father had given her as a birth
day gift once, and start because
only ten minutes had passed since
she had consulted it.
She would cross to the window
of her living room and look across
town to lighted clock, hoping her
watch was slow.
Then she would remember that
the faster time passed. the more
hours would stack up against the
last time she had heard from Rom
aid.
She scanned the newspapers
feverishly. There were no stories
now. Everything seemed to have
ceased. The crisis was coming.
She could do nothing but wait
for Ronald to. call.
She had gone to bed, on that
second night, and was nearly
asleep when her telephone rang
softly. Instantly she was awake.
She reached for the instrument
and her voice trembled as she said:

"Fine, Judy! And you? ?" She
thought he was laughing. If he
could laugh, maybe things were
better. But, no, Ronald always
laughed.
''I'm fine, too" she added, then
said: "Now that we've dispensed
with the health situation, really
how are you 2"
He made a gay answer and then
grew serious: Judy, can you get
away from your Office in the morn
ing for a little while? The police
have rounded up your friend of the
green and plaid ensemble. He's to
be in the lineup at nine in the
morning. They want you to iden-

She shook her head, remembered
he couldn't see, and said no.

/ Judy slept better that night. In
the morning the drama would
start again.

adjusting her eyes to the brilliant
glare in, the morning. She looked
carefully to make sure she had the
right man. He took few steps.

was the one. She imotioiled to Rom

The line ended. She accompa-

some more men waited. They were
cheerful.

plaid coat, too, Miss Rogers" one
of them explained. "How about
taking a place on the force? You
are fine detective"
Judy was eager for an explana-
ton. She wanted to know if the
police had been able to determine
in what way this mysterious black
mailer had become involved in the
jury bribing case.
No one explained, though. When
