AUG. 11, 1937. THE ANNISTON STAR PAGE THREE Best Dressed Woman BY HELEN WELSHIMER COPYRIGHT, 1937, NEA SERVICE, INC. CHAPTER XII' BASIL ROGERS, Marta's divorced husband, stood in the doorway of the sitting room where Judith, Marta, and Phil "Hello, my sweet," he greeted Marta. He leered.

"So this- this is the gentleman who's going to give you an honest million. Congratulations, my dear, congratulations! Didn't think you could do it! Better girl'n I thought you." He turned to Judith. "And you and I get jilted, eh? Don't you fret. She'll give him a devil's life- a devil's own life." Phil was on his feet. "That's about enough out of you!" He grasped the man's arm, but Basil Rogers pushed him back.

"Going, going soon," he said. out!" Phil commanded, but the man only laughed. "Patience, please, patience. I've got to talk to this young ladymy wife she was. Might as well say it in front of you good people.

She got rid of me-didn't want to stay in my racket--not good enough for her." His voice grew uglier. He addressed Marta directly. "But you took a string of pearls on your own, my dear! Pretty pearls, I saw them." "You're lying," Marta said, but her face was as white as her hat. "I won't stand it." Phil noticed it. He began to.

speak, then paused. "Kick him out," Marta ordered Phil. "LET'S hear him through," Phil answered. Judith saw Marta clench her hands and look towards the door. "I want to.

hear "You bet you want to.hear. it!" the man challenged. "The police got on my trail because my exwife was at your house when the pearls went. I was innocent. Funny! I was innocent this time.

But I had an idea. I've been following Marta to find out. Saw her leave her house and come here. So followed." He held up a warning hand. "Didn't give you away to the cops, Marta.

Not at all: Gentleman to the end. Just gave them your address. But be careful, Marta, be careful!" Judith spoke quietly. "How did the police happen to know I lost my pearls?" "Yes-how?" Marta asked. "It was the jewel detectives from the insurance agency," Phil told them.

"I reported loss, quite naturally. I wanted to clear Marta completely and I also wanted to regain the pearls." The maid came in then to announce other callers. It was Basil Rogers who nodded to her. "Show 'em in, show 'em in. The detectives, Marta, my love.

They talked to me a while ago and I thought it would be sort of nice for all of us to get together, so I told him to come along. Have a nice talk--get things and you can marry. this gentleman." "Detectives? Here?" Phil asked. I THE next Judith--a 10 minutes blur that were a would come back with clarity later. She knew that the detectives confronted Marta with evidence she couldn't withstand.

She had sold pearls, one here and one there, thinking she ran no danger. She admitted, sobbingly, that she had needed apartment the and money to wardrobe maintain until her she and Phil were married. She had been in constant fear that she would be discovered. did it because I love you so," she pleaded with Phil. "I was going to redeem them--every pearl as soon as I was" married and had a bank account." "I'll call you later, Judith," Phil said abruptly, and engineered the group into the outer hall and the elevator.

SHE went to the train alone next day because she did not wish to be surrounded by gaiety, toasts for which she had no heart tonight. The creak of the wheels began, smoothly and efficiently. The train was rushing down the station shed, now under the tunnel. It emerged and she saw the lights of the Jersey lowlands. Then the train had passed the Manhattan Transfer and was swinging towards.

Philadelphia on. the first lap of its westward trek. A shadow filled the doorway. She supposed the conductor come for tickets- she had turned them at the station. The porter, with a message, perhaps.

She glanced up. "Phil!" "May I come in, Judith?" he asked. "Yes, only-" She gestured to the passing landscape. "You can't get off!" "I don't want to get off!" Their eyes met, the clear blue and the shadowed gray. "Oh, Judy," Phil said, and somehow his long arms were around her and his lips were against her hair.

She yielded to him, not ask- OXFORD NEWS Telephone Oxford News to Miss Dorothy Russell at 2108 Business Meeting The regular monthly business meeting will be held this evening at 8 o'clock at the Baptist Church.

For the hour she would not question. When he let her go, he did not mention Marta. that actor Bruce Knight -does he matter?" he asked. Judith banished the smile from her lips. Her heart felt warm and alive.

She hadn't realized how dead 'it was. It was like a man to mention his rival, not yours. If he could be afraid that he had lost her, he still cared. "No," she answered. "He never He waited a second.

Besides, I wasn't free to win you back. "Judith, can you love me again?" Phil went on eagerly, almost pleading. She never had stopped loving him. She did not tell him so, though. It was better for him to feel that he was winning his way back.

"It won't be difficult, Phil, my" dear," Judith answered. THEN she was aware of the rush of the train through the night. "We needn't go west," she said. "Now we can get off at Newark." His hands were holding hers firmly. "We're going on," he said.

She remembered the boxes that were following her from New York. They mattered little now.
