BRIDE FROM THE SKY

By HELEN WELSHIMER

CHAPTER TWENTY

THE brighter light did not come on as Judy hurried to get her brown calico dress fastened around her. Her eyes were dark smudges in her face and the russet hair gleamed faintly in the meager outside bulb. “Phil,” she called softly, forgetting that she might sing, dance or yell because there were no other feminine guests of the city tonight. The man who stood behind the matron was not Phil. He was a tall young man in a brown aviator’s suit. There was no laughter in his eyes now and his firm chin looked weary. “I imagine the sky was nice tonight, Sandy,” Judy addressed her VIS on “My star patch wasn’t ad.” 3 “Would you like to enter Miss . Allen’s cell?” the accommodating matron asked. “Bein’ as you are to be married, I don’t see why you shouldn’t be logether.”

” 2 2

| THE MATRON unlocked the door of Judy's cell and flung it back. Sandy closed it immediately. “I'm afraid you've got the wrong man. Funny I had the same idea once upon a time.” His lips twisted . Slightly. “She got away from me.” “You mean she jumped from an airplane to jescape you?” the woman’s voice queried. “Then what was the man like that she wanted?” “A 10-minute egg. Not good on’ toast,” Sandy supplied. “You've spoiled everything now,” Judy answered. “Think of my job!” “Your job?” She was aware that his eyes narrowed, tried to pick out her featurés in the dusky cell; ; gave up. When he spoke again his ' voice was gentle, disappointed, im- ' personal. “I thought you stepped into the empty spaces because you wanted to save your marriage after I'd made such a mess of everything. I didn’t understand your by-line was so important to you.” “Sandy, you're wrong—" “Never mind, Judy. But I'm rather glad I caught on in time. I'd want any wife I claimed to

wear my name. Ill get you out of | | this, anyway, and let you trot back] !

to Phillip.” He turned swiftly and Judy heard the outer door at the entrance close after him. The matron had hurried ahead to open the heavy gate. 8 ” ” LEFT alone, Judy did not remove the calico dress.. She wrapped herself in the blanket and laid down on her cot.

She looked at the slim watch set| |{ in blue and white sapphires, a birth-| :

day gift from Phil. She had .intended to remove’ it from her wrist but Miss Mattie’s arrival had interrupted. The watch had stopped in the high altitude.. She would not know that it was morning until the matron came again. ’ Meantime a rat ran around the cell and escaped through a hole. She could hear it scratching someWhere near and moved cléser to the wall, y Oh, this, was a thousand times worse than falling into space on your back When she reached her father and Phil, this jail would apologize, The rat ran back and this time her scream was so terrifled, so frenzied, that steps came running. ; ¢ “What's bein’ pulled off?” the warden’s huge voice asked. “Another drunk seein’ purple pigs?” " “Purple pigs! It's a rat!” Judy explained. “Lock me up anywhere! AnYWhere Ill die here! I know I

HER request was granted. She was placed in a wider cell which was shut off from Peter's domain. She was given fresh water with which to wash her face. , The matron came later with more information. The Police Court was meeting and Judy was to appear. ” ”

SLIM, very young, not half as brave as she looked, hobbling along on one foot, Judy went with the matron. “My father is also holding court today,” she said. "I'll ask the judge to let me telephcne him.” | ‘She knew that Sandys face looked ill with worry as she passed him. He learned to say, “Chin up,

Judy. I'm taking the blame. I'll take the rap— What a crazy fool I was!” ] His face was stern, c6ld, critical. “You planned such a nice jaunt, Sandy,” Judy heard her voice answering, “Too bad your plans miscarried.” If he thought he could tie life into knots and blow them apart, he might as well begin to learn better right now. Then she heard her name. “Case o Municipal Airport versus Judy en.” -
