i
“I suppose they have. They still
call me Penny at the club, but they
have given me a different costume,
and there isn't much said about why
I got into the club in the first place.’
•'This man, Gilbert Saunders, is
connected with the Gcldexx Bubble?”
Chester inquired.
“Yes. But he doesn’t matter
much now. We won't need the par
don. Spencer will reopen the case
and you’ll be free and a hero pro
bably.” She spoke with a happy as
surance that had no answer on
Spencer’s face or Chester’s.
all know must always remain hid-
still, Judith, you don’t understand?”
“What don’t I understand now?”
“That this stoiy, this truth we
all know must always rewain hid
den. You understand that, don’t
you, Spencer?” Chester looked ap
pealingly at the younger man for
help.
Spencer nodded. “I expected you
to ask that. But Judith has set her
heart on having you free, your name
cleared.”
Chester was patient with Judith,
“What good would be served?
Clarence would be arrested, sent to
prison. Your mother would be mis
erable. Think of this, Judith, and
don’t be afraid of it. I’ll not live
long, either in prison or out of it. A
year at the most, perhaps far less
than that. Mrs. Stevens is divorc
ing Clarence, I have learned. Some
time scon Clio will be free to marry
Clarence. I will be forgotten. What
possible purpose is there in undoing
for pride, for a little comfort for
yourself, all I have tried to do? ’
Judith stared at him: “You think
I’m selfish," she accused, “to want
you out of here, to have Pennet be
an honorable name again.”
Chester sighed: “I think you’re
very young, very obstinate, and set
on having your own way, Judith. It
won’t make me happy to be out of
prison. I came here voluntarily. I
■wish to stay here. Life hasn’t disci
plined you yet, Judith, though you
may think it has. Not until you
care enough about something, an
ideal, another person, to surrender
your while self to it, your life it
necessary, will you really have
grown up.”
How Deep is Love.
Judith began co cry. “But it’s
terrible .... it's awful .... io
think of y-iu. here . . . to know you
needn’t be . . . to have them . . .
o-ver there, go unpunished for their
wickedness.”
“It is curious,” said Chester, “how
people believe that any love out
side of marriage is carefree, Judith,
that Clio and Clarence know regrets
hate the furtive way they have to
live? They are in prison, too, eas
ier for them to bear because they
-are in together. They have exiled
themselves from their own country,
their own kind of people, Clio has
lost you. Some day, Judith, you
•will pity her, more than you pity
me. I am, even with these walls
around me, freer than she is.”
“Nothing will change you?” Ju
dith asked.
“Nothing. But you must change,
Judith. You are young and hard
and intolerant, I can’t change that,
either. I can only hope that time
will.”
Despair was written, on her face.
Wasted, all these weeks of effort,
all the sacrifice she had been pre
pared to make. She despised her
self, came near despising her father
until unwilling though she was to
recognize it, she dropped her eyes
beneath the serene nobility of his.
“Come, Judith,” said Spencer
gently, “there is nothing more for
us to do here. Your father is tir
ed. You are tired.”
“I’m unhappy,” said Judith,
plaintively, like a child, “I hurt in
here.” She laid her hand over her
heart. “I thought I’d been unhappy
I've really never been, unhappy be
fore, have I?”
Chester prophesied for her: “You
will not always be unhappy Judith
Some day something will happen
to thaw the hard lump your heart
is now. When that time comes, you
will be happy.”
“I don’t believe in any such time,’
"she answered, then she went on her
knees to him: “I don’t understand.
I think I’ll never understand, But
I’ll give it up, all this trying to get
you free. I’ll not bother you about
it again, I’ll even ► . . I’ll even
try to understand about Clio . . .
i but Daddy . . . you’re sure . . .
you’re sure, this is wlmt you want?”
i “Very sure, little Judy,” He kiss-
' ed her and Spencer, watching,
, knew if she did not that this was
Chester Bennet’s farewell to his
daughter. Judith looked back at
her father. Such peace dwelt on his
j face that her throat closed up, her
eyes filled with tears and she clung
to Spencer as they went for the last
time through the halls, out into the
i twilight of the surrounding hills to
gether.
CHAPTER XXV
Years before some one had given
1 the orlipaned Spencer a puppy. His
’ aunt had let him keep it, seeing how
1 much the mischievious little thing
| meant to the boy. For some weeks
1 Spencer had it, feeling his young
I heart knit to that of the puppy’s.
Then it sickened, lay inert and help
less in its corner, died. Spencer
could still remember his own grief,
the loss and loneliness that had as
sailed him. He remembered them
now, looking at Judith. She was
huddled in the far corner of the
seat. He could not see her face. It
was turned away from him.
He drove some miles, stopped at
a quiet place along the road, touch
ed her shoulder.
I “Judith daring ...”
“Let me alone,” she said fiercely.
“Please, Judith, listen. Suppose,
suppose we don’t go 'back to the city
Suppose I head north, into Canada.
I can find work there. Or we can
send for passports and go where-
ever we like . . . South America,
Australia, make a new life for our
selves. Are you listening, Judith?”
“I’m listening.”
“You’ll become my wife, Judith.
I’ll take care of you. Somehow you
will forget this hurt in time . , .
the two of us together, making our
way,”
“No. How can y-ou talk to me
like that? Do you think I want to
ever marry any one? I haven’t any
feeling left, Spencer. None. I just
want to be alone.”
“But life hasn’t stopped, Judith.
You have to go on, you know.
Wouldn’t it be easier for us to go
on together? I’ll not talk about
love to you, Judith. Or make love
to you, not for years if you wish. I
know you feel empty, drained dry
or feeling now. But Judith, darl
ing, the world goes on. Life goes
on. Not one of us can halt time
because we’ve been hurt.”
“I’ll go on,” said Judith. “If Sam
will give me my job back again I’ll
keep on at the Golden Bubble. You
have to be very much alive to keep
on there. I can still send Daddy
things, fruit, -books, things like
that. I have to make a living for
myself.”
A New Plan
Spencer started the car again. It
was hopeless to talk to her now. He
was afraid for her. She was in a
mood to do- any reckless thing. He
took a sudden- resolve. If Aunt
Marj- hadn’t i eturned he would take
Judith, whether she liked it or not
on up to Vermont. He could make
her let him do- that. There came,
too, the thought of Gilbert. Spen
cer’s hands tightened on the wheel.
Gilbert wasn’t going to give up
easily. True, he had less hold over
Judith now that there was no fur
ther question of a pardon to be ob
tained. But, if Judith’s heart were
utterly closed to love, what obstacle
was there really to a marriage with
Gilbert? He had to ask iher about
it.
“Judith?”
“Yes, Spencer.”
“Gilbert will expect to see you, to
be told what happened.”
“I know. I’ll tell him . , . some
thing. I donn’t just what yet.”
“Judith you wouldn’t . . . you
don’t think that perhaps you’d go
ahead and marry him? Do you, Ju
dith?”
“No. Why should I?”
“He’ll be persistent. He’ll try to
wear you down catch you when
your resistance is low.”
“I’m not Clio,” said Judith bit
terly.
They were silent. After a little
Spencer tried again. “Judith, could
not you give up this night-club busi
ness now, go on up to Vermont and
stay there with Aunt Mary for a
while? You’re awfully tired, darl
ing. You’ve been through such a
lot lately. You need a rest, You
need to think things out.” ■ ■
“I don’t want to think. I don’t
want to rest. I want to keep busy,
busy, too busy to remember any
thing. I only hope I can get my
old job back. I’ll work harder at
it this time, for I won’t be thinking
there’s some end to it, as I did for
a while when I thought I was going
to marry Gilbert.”
“He's rather awfully in love with
you, Judith.”
“I know, I wish he weren’t.”
“He’s a dangerous man, Judith.”
She Seeks a Promise
“Dangerous!” The work woke
her from her absorption in herself.
It was true. Gilbert was dangerous
She thought of his face, hard and
cold and cruel except when he look
ed at her. She thought of the gun
she had seen in his hand. She
thought of Joe, the bodyguard with
•liis gorilla, ‘.his utter devotion to
Gilbert. She looked at Spencer,
She wasn’t going to' marry him, she
wasn’t going to marry anybody. But
Gilbert might not believe that. She

“Please, Spencer.”
“Tell me what it is" first.”
“I don’t want you to come to the
Golden Bubble any more. You said
Gilbert was dangerous. He is. He
wouldn’t be if he weren’t so
about me, but so long as he
don’t want you at the club.”
“Why not, Judy?”
“He might hurt you.”
Spencer laughed. Don’t be
Gill a reformed character. It
not help him any in his ambition to
shoot up or beat up someone in the
District Attorney’s office. I have to
see you now and then, Judy. Don’t
shut me out entirely.”
Judith reflected, “You know,” she
said, almost hopefully. “I just
thought of something. Since Daddy’s
to stay in prison, maybe Gilbert
won’t be so anxious to marry me.”
“How would that be, Judith?”
“Well, the reason he wants
marry me isn’t -onl}r because
crazy about me as a person,
wants to go up in the world, wants
a wife to help him. I shouldn’t
think a convict’s daughter would
quite fill the bill.”
“Don’t Judy. We know the truth
about your father.”
“Also,” Judith went on,” “the
same applies to a young attorney,
I wouldn’t be a great deal of help
to you, would I, Spencer? Was that
why you wanted us to go away to
gether, some place where we weren’t
known?”
“You know I wasn’t. Don’t say
such things. I was only thinking
of you. My career isn’t going to
suffer because I've got the sense to
marry the girl I love, not matter
what her father’s done.”
Judith’s Reasons
Judith was thoughtful. “I

right now,” she said. “I’d
thought of it before. But, honest,

marry you, it would be a dirty trick
wouldn’t it?”
