CHAPTER VII PHIL did not itay long to talk with Judith. He excused himself from the golden-haired Marta for a moment to follow Judith back to her own room. His eyes were troubled and hit brow furrowed.

"Judith, I'm sorry about last night. I was a beast. Could you manage to forgive me?" She nodded. "Long ago. I understood." He looked at her for an instant before he said: "How can you be so understanding?" Then his tone changed bruskly.

"I'll be back long before time to drive you out to Newport. Wait for me, won't you, Judith? I can't send you off alone." He paused and his eye were saying, VHow can I send you off at all?" She dressed with consummate care in a redingote of blue tweed, whose dress was black with buttons of matching blue. A careless bat that swerved deeply over one cheek held the same rich shade ol the blue. Accessories were black. It was 8:30 now.

She ordered some dinner sent up from the restaurant In the apartment building. Nine o'clock 9:30 10, She couldn't wait much longer. She walked to the windows and looked down on the river that carried barge lights on its bosom as it slowly meandered down to the sea. Now rain began, steady and rhythmic. A quarter after 10.

still Phil had sent no word. CUDDENLY she was filled with a. disappointment so keen that it rent her spirit into something tattered and quivering. The brave independence was gone. It was almost time to go away now, to go away forever, and Phil had not come.

She pressed her hands over her lips to hold back the sobs. At last she rang for the car. Judith had told Millicent that She would pick her up at her home in Orammercy Park. When the girl came out to the cab Judith noticed the glad exuberance in her eyes. She wag responding) swiftly to new stimuli.

There wa much difference between the end of the 'teens and the end of the 'twenties, the older woman thought. "The cars were all taken," Judith explained. "Do you mind a taxicab?" "Not oneabit, but Ronnie is here with his car so he will drive us over to Newark. You know him, don't you? He's the youngest part of the copper fortune and a darling. He'll take us.

He'd love to." a nnHE bags were transferred to A Ronnie's car, Judith took her place on the soft-cushioned seat and relaxed. Ronnie wag tall and broad-shouldered and tanned. He was cut from the same college pattern that the eastern schools modeled best. Plainly he was in love with Millicent, -who teased him a little, laughed with him, forgot him. Now the car was passing through the gates at the Newark airport and beyond, the great COPVRISHT, I93J, NEA SERVICE.

INC ship, with its cabins lighted, waited. People were saying good-by. There was a prevailing air of gaiety. She glanced up. There were no stars tonight.

There would be more rain. She was hoping that there would be a message for her from Phil at the airport. There was none, however. "We're taking off, Mrs. the junior pilot told her at last.

"Thank you." She remembered to smile. Then an attendant came run-ning. "Mrs. Irving! Mrs. Irving!" he called.

"Yes, here 1 am!" Even to her own ears her voice was shot with glimmerings of wild, glad color. Phil had not forgotten! CHE accepted the message and held the yellow envelope care fully as the ship glided down the apron and took off. Up, up, up. It had cleared the lower buildings. It was taking on ceiling.

Quickly she opened the tele gram. When she saw the well' loved signature her heart became quieter. She read: "Darling, I don't know how I missed you stop forgive me stop you are a -jewel stop phil." She did not know what she had expected that note to say. After til, there was little that it could fay. She felt let down and tired She would go to bed.

She' put on her rust satin traveling pa iamas, and stretched herself on the cushions, thankful that this ship had sleeping compartments. Judith siept and the stewardess called her half an hour from Chicago, at 6 o'clook, she arose quickly, dressed and evaded' newspaper contacts at tne airport. Word that she was aboard had spread. The plane to the west did not leave -until 12 o'clock so she and Millicent had a leisurely breakfast of orange Juice, corn muffins with marmalade, crisp bacon and coffee. They were tired of waiting long before noon, and relieved to be in the air again.

The ship climbed higher and higher, through blue sky and sunlight, while small towns and rivers became part of a miniature world far below. Tea was served. Dinner. Night began. The plane as due In Reno at 10:37.

THE sky had grown rougher as A twilight came and they neared the Rockies. Judith felt the upward motion, sensed the Ship being caught in a gigantic wind, shaken like a leaf, and set back gain. Her spirit rejoiced In the itruggle. Higher, higher, higher. Now there was a roaring sound that tvas new and frightening as they Sipped too suddenly, dropped, regained their place.

There was another plunge. A plunge so long and so steep that her heart waited for a crash. It did not come. The ship Continued on its way. The itewardess's face was white now, Tudith noted.

The sky was black and sleet was now driving against ihe windows. Strange, but Judith 00 longer felt excited. Suddenly there was an order to Fasten safety belts. It appeared in the small red electric panel of words that broke the blackness of the cabin. All lights had lseen extinguished because it was easier to tee outside when the ship was in darkness, the way grew constantly Wugher.

Flash, came the next electric warning. "Prepare to land." Now the wind roared by like ft giant loosed among the clouds. Prepare to land! That could mean one thing only. The ship could not weather the storm. Here In of A Seat DAVI.S Making This One Of Tha, Year's Most Enjoyable) Shows H.
