He answered it as his love for her demanded. “No, Judith. But I be- ieve it enough to want to know the truth.” “Don’t you see, said Judith, soft­ ly, “that unless you believe as I do, unless we believe alike, we could never be together? I would be a—a sword between us, Spencer. I believe in Daddy, I don’t believe in love. You believe in love, you don’t really believe in Daddy.” “I believe in truth,” said Spencer stoutly. “What is truth?” Judith asked, the age-old question falling solemn­ ly into the room, suspended there be­ tween them. She “Please, Spencer, let me ,go now He took his .hands but asked a further won’t go to dance in will you, Judith?” “Why shouldn’t I, freed herself, away from her, question: “You that night club Tho She must into that's the best way to earn -money for daddy's de­ fense?” “Because its cheap, Judith. Be­ cause you’d be capitalizing your fa­ ther’s . . . misfortune . . .” “Why not say my father’s ‘guilt.’ Its what you mean, isn’t it? And I think I’m quite capable of looking out for myself. After all, I’m the daughter of a convict and an adul- tr-ous mother; nothing much should be expected -of me!” Judith!" She ipulled away from him and stood by the door. “Truth,” she said, “isn’t always lovely, you see, Spen­ cer, I’m going now. I’ve an announce­ ment to give the newspapers.” CHAPTER IV Judith closed the door between herself and Spencer. The hardness of her final words to him dropped from her. The misery that rose from her breast and tightened in her throat was made of tears, salty and warm, healing if- she could shed them. She fought the back and took blind steps toward the -outer door of the build­ ing. ‘She would go home, the house was still there, hers for a few days longer. But before she could es­ cape there came a hubbub of voices, laughing, a cheerful whistle, newspaper men- were coming, had forgotten them. The tears wait. The reporters spilling the -corridor saw their Good Penny smiling at them and if she were whiter than usual, if the smile ob­ viously cost her an effort, well, that just made a better story.

A couple more pictures like that and Sam Emory will raise the ante for you. The thousand gents will crowd into .Sam’s Golden Bubble for a gape at the -original." “Are you going to take that fer?” another reported asked. “I may," Judith answered, fact, I’ve practically decided on ‘What’ll you do with the money?’ “Try to- find fresh evidence of my father’s innocence.” “Swell . . . sure you won’t buy some new clothes and a couple of diamond tiaras?’ Judith smiled, “I might, espec­ ially the tiaras.” “A good deal more valuable than halos," Elkins -observed and joined in the laugh at his own remark. He went on. ‘We want an interview, also some -of us crave to see you alone for purposes of -our own, but why not all of us go into the pressroom now and fire our questions at you? We afternoon men hav.e a deadline to meet." Judith sighed, “All right, but I am- tired. I want to go home.” “Fifteen minutes ought to do it, Edkins way to house. he said. “Large as life half as natural.” Some had flashed a picture stood crying aloud her She of- “In it." fi said cheerfully and led the the pressroom in the Court- Judith’s Story • Judith sat at one end of a scarred table. Reporters, most of them from New York papers, sat or slouched around, copy paper in hand, -pencils scribbling fast, the tracks they made legible only to the writers and not always to them. Questions came thick and fast. “What happened when you saw your father just now?” “Very little," Judith replied. ‘We were both tired. He isn’t guilty, told me so again.” “What’s his explanation?’ “He has none.’’ “Will you cable the verdict your mother?” “No.” “What were you doing in Spencer Owen’s office?" There was a ©ause. “I’d rather not answer that.’ “Okay, we’ll ask him. Were you engaged to him?” “Not formally.’ “But you were on the verge?" “Must you say anything about that?” Judith asked wearily. ' “Sure, but you needn’t answer, we’ll just fill that in< as a stirmisA after checking with him later,” “How are you going to prove your* father's innocense?” “I don’t know,” “Have your friends high-hatted yqu?” “I haven’t seen any of them.” “Do you know Gilbert Saunders?” “No.” ■ * ”Sam Emory?* * (Continued next week.)
