sat down on the couch,
but this time Instead of drawing
Judith into the circle of his arm, he
faced her.
“What did you mean about a mil*
llonalre stenographer?'* she asked,
with serious Intentness.
"A reporter just telephoned and
asked me how it felt lo be married
to one/Judge E. C. Morgan has Tom
Kevins' will, he filed It In probate

Borman ... go on."
V "He left you the hulk of Ms es

through a trust fund."
i lie paused and waited for Jddlth
Do say something but the sat mute,
staring Into the dames.
••Judith, ’* there was a note of Irri
tation In his voice, “haven’t you any
thing at all to say?”
i Judith looked up, her cheeks chalk
white, her eyes limpid with unshed
tears —"What can 1 say?" she asked,
"Aren't you surprised ~. Judith?”
and now she heard suspicion In hta
voice. "You didn’t know this was
coin lag did yon?"
"No, Norman,” she spoke with
llrm honesty, then added, “at least
not this way.”
"You mean yon expected money?”
he asked.
"No. 1 really didn’t."
“And under the circumstances
you’ll return It to the rightful heirs,”
be suggested gently.
Judith looked mi her husband a
forecast of pain to come In her eyes.
To whom was her loyalty more Im
portant. the ghost of a memory, or
tkla man beside her?
(•uardedly. she answered, "Nor
wan. I think we ll flnd when the will
Is read, that the money and the com

not for my personal use.”
“But of course that will be deprlv
Ink Mrs. Bevins, the rightful belr.

Judith looked up In surprise. She

with: "* lei's wait end see 'or oor

“A million and one things. Ho

“Norman," Judith jumped to her
feft. “if you say ‘rightful heirs’ to

help what I didn’t know was going
to happen.”
CHE wheeled from him and rau to
® 'he little glassed-in sun-porch
and threw herself onto a wicker
onurh. Hut there was no time for
tears. I.tge was beside her, the telb
phone In his hands.
“Miss Sanford.” he said.
“Hello, Jii^y.** Clla’s friendly voice
came across the wire, “bate like the
dickens to call you at a time like

to shreds by nightfall and .. well,

“Judy, did I start this, telling you

“You bet"you can.'Well. Kiddle, It
looks to me like you’re in for a
tough time. I’ll pull what wires I
can to see you get a decent break.
Most of the boys know you and
they’ll play fair.
“The Union, however, may take
Lampere’s word that you’re the orig
inal office vampire ... gosh, Jude, If
you weren’t so good looking, this
would blow over in no time ... but
print your picture alongside of a
story Hke that and nobody but your
friends will believe Big Tom left his
money for business only. Call me if
I can help you, I’ll keep you in touch
with any fresh dust Lampere raises."
“Judy.” Norman stood on the
threshold, looking down on her.
"Honey, I’m sorry. I know you can’t
help what has happened. Even if it
Is irregular for a man to leave his
fortune to a stenographer, 1 don’t
know what made me talk like that
to you."
Judith stretched peach clad arms
toward her husband and pulled him
down beside her "probably be
cause 1 was a stenographer ... that
seems to be the chief bone of con
tention according to Clia . . . but
more probably Norm, because you
haven't had any sleep. It must have
been a strain at the Bevins, then
having Clia send for both you and
Doctor Kelly.”
Norman gave a wan chuckle—
"Mathile was actually angry. Said
one might think he was your father
instead of hers.”
“He was almost that, Norman.
He’d have taken me into his home if
Mrs. Bevins hadn’t balked him, not
that 1 wanted to live within a hun
dred mlies of her. but be was a
darling. You had to work with him
day after day to reai’.y appreciate
him. ’Walt until his funeral and
you’ll understand. His ‘poortings,’
the people he quietly helped, will be
there.”
THE funeral was an ordeal. Ma
thlle had insisted Forman be
suited with the mourners. Norman
bad quietly refused unless Judith
were invited and Mathile had yield
ei' with characteristic ungracious
ness.
"I’m sorry, Judy,” he apologized
when asking her to overlook Ma
thlte’s attitude. "1 wouldn't ask you
to do It. but considering bow close
our two families have been, and
that I’m the only mao left In the
two, I could hardly desert them at
a time like this. You won’t mind,
will you?"
Judith didn't mind where she sat.
Namb with sincere grief she scarce
ly realized Mathlle was only kept
from edging her away from Norman
by lila firm grip on her arm and hts
mother's, leaving the two Bevins wo
men to Morton Lampere, who had
graciously Offered his servlcea.

ARMY BOYS TURN

COURT TEAM IN FINE SHAPE
! ?!
FOR CITY CHAMPION.
l
SHIP RUN-OFF
i
(By ARMY SCRIBE)
The tennis team representing
j the Army is now becoming an ag
gregation worth while talking
about. The boys have demon
strated on many occasions that
they are top-notchers, and feel
; very confident that when the city
1 championship is run off that they
I will be in the top of the fight.
The two outstanding members
| of the team are Private Christie,
i who was runner-up in the tourna
ment held in foreign service, and
Jones, another private, who is
considered the best in the Army.
He is a southpaw and has an aw
ful hard driving service.
These two bays have already
defeated the strong Coast Guard
team in seven matches.
It appears that Jones has a
slight edge over Christie, but the
difference, even at that, does not
amount to much.
Any teams desiring practice
| matches can be accommodated by
getting in touch with Private
| Christie.
RELIEF PLAYERS
j DEFEAT SOLDIERS
Yesterday afternoon at the army
■ barracks the crew of the Wreck
-1 ing Tug Relief, silenced the big
! guns of the Army by defeating
1 their diamonrfball team. The score
! was 6 to 4.
This is the fifth game in a row
taken by the sailors. Battery for
I the Relief was Lunn and Goeh
ring, and for the army, Nodine,
Powel! and Johnson.
After this game another was
started which was called in the
first half of the fifth frame when
the sailors pushed over two runs
with none out, and down came
the rain.
