I RIO looked at her strangely.
“No." he said. "There weren't
any bullet wounds. Why do
you ask?"
Judith pulled herself together.
to "Iomeone said there was talk of his
being wounded before the crash."
all" “Well.” said Eric. "Manners thinks
something happened to make him go
over the hank—something violent. I
mean. He might have had a light
and in the scuttle turned the wheel
suddenly."
“When do they think he died?
asked Judith. ~
“mason sald it had been at least
as long ago as Christmas. That's a
May thing. They've had emergency
gangs working on that road day and
night. ever since Christmas morning
In it oosidn‘t have happened since
then. And Shea was seen in town
the day before."
Judith looked up at him. "Then

up. But it's door of you to want to
help me. Eric. The others have only
harrassed me."
His fingers tightened on here. ”I'd
do anything for you. Judith. You
know that. i'd lie. steal. kill or rob
-or even change my style of collar
if you wanted me to."
Judith laughed. "There it lei—the
old EIQ. tempering every compli
ment with irony. But your collars
are all right.- i don't want you to
change them. All i want is under
standing. You and i talk in the
same language. We're bbth of us
incorrigibles." .
"Yes. thank God!" said Eric. at
tacking his wattle.
“There's only one thing that would
do me any good," said Judith. sipping
her coffee.
Eric looked up.
“That's for somebody to knock
down Dean Timothy Brown and sit
on him." she grinned at Eric.
"Nothing would give me more
pleasure." remarked Eric. “1 have a
few scores of my own to settle with
him. And even if I hadn't. i should
like to knock him down and sit on
him—for the good of his soul."
Judith smiled. “l'm not concerned
with hie soul. But if for no other
reason than his treatment of his
wife. he needs it."
Eric nodded. "Not all the martyrs
were burnt In Rome or racked to
death in Spain." he said. "How men
like that escape arsenic in their cof‘
fee baffles me."
"If i were his wife. he wouldn't
have." answered Judith. "But i
think there was opium in this coffee.

Judith looked at him. "You no r

Eric smiled teasingly. “And that

it is." -
A half hour later, Judith drew the
blinds in her room and opened a
window. Then she tacked a “Don't
Disturb" placard on her door and
got into bed.
Not since the last presidential ciao
tlon had Pendleton seen such a crowd
about the newspaper offices.
Passing on a trip to the book shop
that evening. Judith saw Wetherel
standing on the outskirts of the
circle. watching the bulletins that
appeared now and then on the block-
board.
"Come here. Judith." he called.
“And I'll let you lean against me.
This is great sport."
Judith went up to him. "Why
was Shes‘s death so important?" she
asked. "There must be a hundred
people standing here."
“Well." Will replied. “if you'll no

"Willi How vulgar!"
"Not at all. Describes the case
exactly. Everybody In this crowd
has had dealings at one time or an-
other with Shea. either in his capac-
ity as bootlegger or blackmailer.
"All those who bought liquor from
him are afraid the dean will prose-

show anything.

if certain letters are found among

Judith shivered. "What a men-

“Drove a thriving trade in other
people's sins. while enioying his

Judith.
A man came out of the newspaper
cities and began to chalk a new
bulletin. "Deed man's letters may
be declphered. says expert worklns
on mudatained documents."
"Come on. then." Will said. taking
Judith‘s arm. "i've never written
to the old boy. at any rate."
The movie house was crowded and
Judith and Will had to take seats in
the last row. Judith settled down in
the comforting darkness and leaned
her head back to listen to the music.
Wetherel relapsed into silence.
When the lights flashed on, she
jumped.
"it'ell." csclulmed Will. “that's the
first time a young lady ever went to
sleep on me."
They went down the main street
toward the College Inn. it was
dark. and a black wreath hung on
the door.
Wetherei laughed. "More people
are mourning that crook than ever
mourn a good man. And how the
numbers will increase when they
begin to dive into Bhea's blue books!
i feel that i should send him e
wreath myself. I'm so damn sorry he
died without destroying his records."
Wetherel looked at her white face
and said no more. 'iri-y walked to
ward the campus. It was dark and
quiet. with its embracing rows of
shadowy buildings. -
"Will." said Judith. “were you ever
in love?"
"My God!" exclaimed her compan
ion. "Was I ever in love? the lady
asks mel Was 1 ever out of it? if
they cut my heart open when i die.
they'll find nothing but scare."
"All of which means that you have
never been in love at all.” com
mented Judith. "do i guess you
can't help me."
"Why. what did you want?"
“i wanted advice. But no man
with a heart full of scars is quali-
ded to give it. Just one big scar
now-that would be different."
“Well. now.” said Wetherel. obllg
lngiy. "if you throw me over. there ll
be Just one big scar. blotting out all
the others!"
Judith laughed. “i‘m too tired to
be coy. Will. And I think I'm a
little crazy. 0r living in a night-
mare. Let's hurry."
"You were probably going to salt
me—Is Eric in love with you?" said
Will. judicially. "And to be per
fectiy frank. I should say yes.”
They could hear newsboye on the
streets beyond the confines of the
quadrangle. crying something unin
lclligible.
The campus was a dark pool of
peace. “I hate to leave this calm
enclosure." said Judith. "Life seems
to surge up around it and better at
its serenity. without success."
“For cryln' out loud. Judith. you
tat": like a gravedigger. Snap out
o I."
They came out of the campus and
turned into College road. Here. too.
there was quiet. and most of the
houses were dark.
The door of the Stedway house
opened as they approached the porch.
and Myra came running out with a
paper In her here. "Oh Will." she
cried. ignoring Judith. "I've been
loiring for you. Eric's been arrested
-—over the Shea murder. You've got
to do something!"
