CHAPTER I
CMART and trim in her new
0 spring outfit. Judith Howard
stepped briskly from an elevator
of (h town's tnllest office build-
ing and made her way through
thv'noon-hour cro.vd to tho wide
entrance. There she took up an
unobtrusive spot beyond the main
stream of pedestrian tralllc and'
waned.
There wore other girls wnltinc

passing hurriedly on their way to

more honestly attractive Uan
Judith Howard. She had Uie ns-j
surance that comes only to those'
who have made and are making
their own way in the world. An
assurance that is different from
poise and somehow more genuine
because poise is something
which can be acquired in idleness
and so has nothing at all to do
with character.
She was medium tall rather
slender in build und while per-
haps none ot her features were
classic in themselves nevertheless
they formed a composite whole
Which was the very essence of
beauty. Judith's eyes were neither
blue nor gray but something tn-
trlguingly In-between. The eolot
of her hair was delightfully defi-
nite. In the day of Judiths
mother it would have been called
"taily" or "tow." When older men
glimpsed it they were reminded
happily of npe corn in the fle'J
of their youth. When younger men
saw It they remembered no Held
of maize but they were Just as
pleaded. And there was plenty of
it. Not too much but Just enough
Her absurd fall hat (which
looked not at all absurd on Ju-
dith) made no secret of how she
rolled it up at the nape of lie.
neck sensibly and securely.
She was somewhere between 2d
and 20 and it was almost impos-
sible to tell to which age she was
nearest.' About the tlm you de-
cided that she was hardly past
20 she would look grave and
serene and nearer 2t5. But II you
happened to be a young man or
even an old one you did not care
particularly because whichever
age she was nearest Judith How-
ard was charming
It was Just this strange quality
ot change this alternating gravity
and gaiety which had attracted
Stephen Fowler four years ago
and held him steadily since then.
Four years is a long time when
one Is young and In love and as
Judith stood there waiting for
Steve she wondered how much
longer it would be before they
would marry. Four years they'd
known eacli other and hod
planned to marry for at least
thiee of those.

throng forgetting to bu Im
patient at Steve's tardiness. Judith
fell to musing about those four
years. As clearly as if it had been
day before yesterday she remem-
bered their meeting. It was at a
skating party arranged by Vir-
ginia JJcnt and it had been Vir-
ginia who hud fixed the "date"
between Judith and Steve. On the
way home that night snugwlth a
robe in the back seat of Robert
Dent's car Steve had talked with
her in a low bantering tone.
"Do you remember the October
of 1929?" he had asked.
Judith laughed. "I've heard my
ciders talk about it. Wasn't there
a market crash?"
She remembered his lugubrious
answer. "Crash? Suy airplane
crash iomctimog and automobiles
crash frequently. But a market
does something worse than that. 1
Judith smiled when she thought
ot that. Everyone had still been
talking about "the a ash" then.
Nobody yet was willing to bo-
Hew in a depression.
"But the reason I brought It
up." Steve had sold "was be-
cause I . . ."

He looked down at her and she
He had taken her skates with
him on that first night . because
he said he knew of the "only
place In town" where they could
be properly sharpened. And ot
course once they were sharpened
he had to return them to her.
That was the beginning. She did
not remember so clearly all that
had happened between then and
now There had been happy mo-
ments; but there had been tearful
ones too because they were in ')t
love.
She wouldn't have traded any
of them. She wouldn't have
wanted to go back to that first
day and relue these last four
years without Steve Fowler. And
yet . . yet she knew that they
couldn't go on forever being en-
gi gcd and in love. Steve knew it
too. But headways wanted to
wait a little while longer. It had
been a blow to him when he had
--topped being n sales manager and
l c.ime only a salesman with a

1'uint where he felt he should
marry.
K'ROM the very ftnt Judith had
favored a marriage wherein

i"Uld ueer quite see at. Steve
d always had the Idea that a
u:band should support his wife
s holly and support her well. Be-
cause he couldn't do it he had
''uonw increasingly bitter and

' I'm tired ot hearing these kids

can't get a Job." he told Judith
uiie day. "And I'm Just as tired
of hearing these old boys in theirs

things aren't what they used to
be. At least the kids have every
thing before them and the old
boys have something to remem--
ber. But the fellows around my't;
age are stuck right. A little too
old to learn and a little too young
to have piled up any advantage
before the crasli come."
"You mustn't get bitter." Judith
had warned sensibly. "You have
