Lampere's succeeded in having the
ease moved up on the calendar, they
called for a jury this morning.”
Judith's breath caught in a quick
gasp. She realized she mustn’t let
her alarm spread to even the most
unimportant junior engineer In the
place.
“Goodwin," she confessed, “I've
been so busy 1 haven’t even thought \
of the will contest."
“Y’ou must be pretty sure of win |
nlng,” he said. "Well, if Big Torn
built his defense as well as he fore
cast the specifications on this dam
we're all safe.”
“Yes," said Judith quietly.
The conversation drifted on Idly,
returning, Judith realized, to the sub
ject of Big Tom Bevins with aston
ishing frequency.
Bevins had been a leading light
in the business world, she knew
well. Now she was learning from
Goodwin that he was a legend among
even the engineering students In the
Texas schools.
“I think sometimes,” said Good
win. "that he was helping half the
young would-be engineers In Texas.
I know he helped me.”
"And me.”
But Judith found it difficult to con
centrate even on Bfg Tom’s virtues
with the menace of Lampere always
| in the back of her mind, and was
glad when Goodwin rose.
After he had left she went to her
chair on the little front porch. The
dam was being constructed J>y loyal
hands, no chance of subterfuge,
faulty material, dishonesty there.
I Would the will contest have the same
! chance?” '
