Marian Gordon by 4 EA SYNOPSIS: Marian' husband, Lon Ca ad. will not believe Marian when the tells him that his employer, McSwnln, la crook, nor will Lon belirve his wife When aha aaya alie had proof of her as sertion, and through Lon'a ttupldlty, Mc Swain was ablo to steal It. In addition, although McSwnln'a daunhter. tha crass widow Silver Ilondon, Is obviously In Jo anile with her father, Lon refuses to see that. Marian la starting to net a detec tive's help when sho sees a man lurking nearby. i Chapter 31 :i HELP SECURED Marian's first impulse was flight, anything to place distance between herself and the man who had tres passed on their property and hid den when he realized he was being observed. She measured the distance be tween the house and her hill top. For the first time it seemed miles away. In reality it was only a few yards. There waa a revolver at the house. Marian was not confused by her present trouble. After the first fright her mind worked with clear precision. That person behind the house was a Kanaka boy, dressed in the foppish town clothes they af fected. , . . McSwain had Kanaka boys working for him . . , that was it. He had seen her leaving the house, probably thought sho was taking some short cut over the hill, and had started to follow. It didn't mean that she was in any immedi ate danger, it meant she was being followed. She must go on some place now: do something to throw lllm of' tne track. Sho would walk into town, that would lead McSwain to believe CUNDOWN' , THE CONCERT i By Mary Graham Bonner Jelly and Honey Bear and the cubs, Blacky and Jupiter, were all Xcady to go to their cavo for a good winter's sleep. They had been eat lne: and -eating, getting fatter and fatter, so that they would not feel the need of food for a long time. The Puddle Muddlers were going to have a concert and then lead them to their cave in grand style. Willv Nlllv had found a little vio lin In the big box in his house that Held Things Just For Fun, and Rip, the dog, had the little drum ias tencd on his back which he could hit with his tall. The ducks had reed pipes they were going to blow, and Top Notch, the rooster, had a stick which he was going to wave. He was going to act as the drum major. Christopher Columbus Crow, liv ing up to his name, had discovered a little comb in his wanderings and he had put a piece of tissue paper around it so he could piny a tune. "We're ready, aren't we?" asked Top Notch. "Have we decided what tune we are going to play," asked Willy Nilly. "Does it matter?" asked Top Notch, who hadn't a very good ear for music. "It wouldn't sound very pleasing Jf we each plnyed something dif ferent," smiled Willy Nilly. "Let's play the tune of 'Good Night Ladies,' H ho added. "As a matter of fact I wrote down some words wo could use.' Willy Nilly repeated the words until they knew them, while the bears looked as though they would fall asleep before the concert got Tinder way. But now the music began.

Once In there she would go to Waki's house, and see If his wife Mav would return with her, pre sumably to clean nouse. me iwo Japanese, man and wife had worked for her folks beiore tney movea to the ranch and now had a smalt place of their own. Some way sho would get word to John King . . . telephone ... no, she would write him. but where . . . she was going down the hill, taking a short cut she had never oeiorc thouaht of taking. She could hear Hero bark; her pursuer had evi dently passed the house. All the way into town she pon dered on how to reach King with out letting McSwain know. Among the cars which swished past her, was one neat station wagon. Mar ian, only glancing at It, beiievea the man who was trailing her, was in it. She saw it parked on the roadside a little farther along, the man bending over the engine, as If having trouble with it. It passed her aijain as she ncared town. And then as she reached the main street she knew what she would do. Sanderson, her former city editor, had a brother who had recently purchaed the valley's weekly paper. She would go in there, write a letter to John King and nave eanuerson man it. She found Sanderson in his of fice, explained that she had been ha vi lift prowlers around Jier nouse and wanted to reach this detective friend of hers without anyone's knowinir what she was doing, He was eager to help her, took her Into an inner cubby-hole he used as an office and leit her mere to write her letter. He returned with excitement in his manner. "Say, Mrs. Casad, there's a Kan aka bov outside and I'll bet a dol lar to a bunch of spinach he's got his eye on you." "Probably." returned Marian cat ml v. "Then listen, while you're about It, write me a little squirb about the valley and if there's any questions asked I can say you were doing a varn for me. "Fine," Marian agreed, and did as he suggested. "I hope you'll run in here again," said Sanderson when he read It. "I'll feature this next edi tion." "And be sure no one sees you mall this," she begged as she left the letter with him. The Wakis were delighted to see her. While the little woman dressed, Waki took her about his garden then showed her with great pride the car in which he would drive her back to the lodge. They stopped in town again for Marian to do some shopping, and Sanderson, casually meeting her at the green - grocer's, told her the Kanaka had stopped In soon after she left, supposedly to ask for the most recent copy of the newspaper. "I made him wait," Sanderson said, "while I raved about the story you'd written for us. I talked to the counter girl and talked loud enough so he could hear without trying to . . . and the letter's off, I slipped it in with a bunch of office mail and dropped It through the slot myself, With many starts the Waki car went Into action, plunging tnrougn the traffic like a balky horse which has suddenly made up Its mind to go. Waki crouched behind the wheel smiling his beatific smile, May beaming with nrlde. No fear of re-entering the house with these two at her side. Here1 were two she could trust with any secret. She decided suddenly she would trust them, tell them some thing she couldn't tell Lon. She would ask Lon to hire Waki to handle the prune crop, the trees were already dropping their fruit, and Waki, knowing, would watch the house at the same time. After they had made friends with Hero by letting him sniff them to his heart's content before they ap peared to notice him, and after they had admired the house and Waki had cast a professional eye over the garden, she told them that an en- 10.
