The room was ready for its enchanting guest, fciandy would arrive in the morning. Half of the dresser drawers were cleared for her and half of the hooks in the closet. "We'll have a pip of a time!" Judith thought, gazing delightedly at the windows, done after a sketch she had admired in one of those magazines about "homes beautiful." Brilliant cretonne shades and over these luring veils of silver voile that toned in with the soft gray walls, tjtie whole offering a mellow background for tlie line old rosewood bed and dresser. This set had come around the Horn when the McNeils were in the heyday of their glory. It was greatly prized by Judith's mother, but when the craze for painted furniture was at its height the two older girls refurnished on the installment The fine old antiques were pushed contemptuously to the basement whence they were quietly rescued by Judith. They looked quainter and more beautiful now with the walls so delicate and fresh. These walls were Judith’s great pride. Tinted them herslf! The Mbores paid but SSO rent for their big, comfortable flat. The landlord hadn’t raised the rent, but he refused any and all repairing. If they didn't like the nile green and bricky yellow tinting let them close their eyes or move! So Judith bought several packages of alabastine, experimenting until she had a faint warmth of lavender in the color. And Douglas came over to help. They took one of the leaves from the dining room table, set it on two ladders. With the can of tinting between them they set to work. "You must care a heck of a lot for this dame of a Sandy, Jude, seeing that you risk your lovely hands for her." Judith pulled on a great pair of gloves and laughed with a bound of joy. "Why so v/eneh?" "Nothing!" But she thought, thrilling: *By the same token, Doug, you must care a heck of a lot for me, else why give up three nights all. in a row?" • * They talked of so many things—love and when to get married, and how much a fellow needs and if the girl should keep on working. Judith was sorry when the room was finished. Now she went over to the closet. There was a litle window here. And it looked into the kitchen of the flat next door. Very often Judith stood at this window, hiding behind her coat when one of her sisters came into the room. It was 7 o'clock. In this nextdoor kitchen a small, thin woman with a sweet, earnest face, washed the dishes. And a boy with a young, rollicky look picked up three plates at once, wiping them absently. He talked. Something great and exciting must have happened, becase he hunched his head between his shoulders and laughed joyously. Once Judith heard: "Gee whiz—think of it, Epn'." Then he showed those white teeth In a fine, boyish grin. Judith drew a long, sighing breath ancl closed her eyes against sudden tears. How clean and young—oh, how glorious he was! Any one else looking would have seen but a nice, bonny lad of 24 with a sun-burned face, a pair of fine, hazel eyes, a nose turned up just a little at the very tip and a squai’e, manly chin. He had plenty of brown, almost fair hair, slicked hack in the approved fashion of snappy young gentlemen. He was 5 feet 9 inches and proud of his big

( shoulders and tapering waist. This was Douglas Keith. But to Judith those 5 feet 9 inches measured all of romance and beauty the world contained. She could hardly bear. it when he looked straight ana laughing into her eyes, because his had such a high, noble quality. So she thought—seeing in him all that was knightly, imaging the very soul of young Galahad dwelling behind those gray, twinkling eyes. • * • Four years Judith had loved him. Two ok three times she had thought: “He loves me, too. He doesn’t know this. Will he find it out? Oh, will lie ever find it out?” And in novels she read of such affairs, picturing herself the heroine, dreaming of the hour when he would awaken, as David Copper field did, winning at last his Agnes. She now whispered: “I wonder how Aimee is?" Almee was his latest flame. "Gee —what a pip!” he told Judith, recounting the charms of a little golden haired ffapper who could just tickle you like a feather, she was so darn cute. These affairs of hi3 always started out in a flame of enthusiasm. In a month or six weeks they waned. And when Judith inquired: “Well, how is Ruth?" or “How is Patsy?” he would make a gay, contemptuous sound with his lips and serenely report: "A flat tire! World's full of them." No one guessed the joy of these repeated disillusions to Judith. He hung up the dishtowel, gave a cui soiy brush to the stove with a worn whisk broom, kicked a chair into place. * * • Emma Keith said something that Judith didn't hear. A disappointed look came over her face. Then the boy caught her shoulders, shook her whimsically. His deep, warm voice gose teasingly: “Don’t bis, green-eyed, Em! I’m only going next door. Want to tell Jude.” Emma’s mouth tightened. Judith saw this. His mother was jealous of her —more jealous of her than of any ten girls that Douglas liked. Judith considered this with a throb of exultation. And now she ran to the dresser and in a flurry whisked powder over her nose. Oh. if she had only looks. Instead of that big, ardent mouth—that drab straight hair —if she had only a crimson cupid's bow and hair of coppery gold! The tan skin flushed and this made her eyes seem purple. She had deep violet eyes rimmed with stubby, black lashes —lovely eyes, full of soul —that’s what people said, even those who called her "plain.” Maud, her sister and the beauty of the Moore family, was envious of Judith’s eyes. They would have gone much better in Maud’s come- j ly face. "I wonder what’s happened," Judith murmured. He came in the back way, kicking ppen the screen door of the kitchen and calling: "Where the heck are you, Jude? Come on for a walk. Next week we ride.” They went toward the hill. A whiff of clean, fragrant air blew down the green slopes of Alamo Park. They climbed the steps going round the tier till they came to the circle of trees at the top. . They stood on this round plateau in the darkness, and gloom, looking down on the lighted canyons of the city's streets. They often strolled here. Sometimes they walked about stealthily watching the benches, nudging each other and chuckling when they saw couples with arms entwined. But now they stood here laughing, their hands clasped and swinging. "A hundred dollars, Jude! Why, I’m rich girl!.. “Will it last, Doug?" "As long as I do, I don’t expect to peter out before I’m 40. And any one ought to be willing to die by then! I tell you I’ve got a contract. Gee, I’m the luckiest dog that ever breathed! No more law office for me!" His news was this —the paper for which he wrote short, epigrammatic stuff illustrated with bizarre drawing had syndicated his articles. And he. Douglas Keith, pauper, was to receive SIOO a week. “I’ll buy a ritzy little bus for you and me. I tell you we’ll tear up this jazzy ole town.” "And Aimee, Douglas? Will you marry her now?” "Aimee —pouf!" "Oh, is that over?” | "No depth of feeling, Jude —noth-

Ing to her—now if she was like you, you know. Had some understanding —something besides looks—” "Oh, have I something, then, Doug?” "Say—have you?” He turned to Judith. His eyes went straight to Judith’s soul. Just then a bird flung out a note of song and a star sped goldenly across the sky. Judith’s heart stood still —waiting. The blessed, prayed for moment—was it come? ( To He Continued.) SEE CONVENTION RECORD Three Gatherings Here Kvery Two Days So Far This Year.
