PAGE TEN MTCDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, THUBSDAT, HAT 25, 1933 Hi If TlieWliife Codcaf oo BYSOP81B: But Tally must identity herself to her brother Francis by mean ot a token, with out which she cannot claim her share of her father1 great fortune. After a series ot murders and shootings, the token has been stolen. But Sue "bluffs" Francis, demanding that he first show his identifying token. Meanwhile Jim Bundecn, whose regard for Sue has mounted with the danger in which shs has been, is warned bv David Lorn, a detective employed by Francis Tally, that the volice have new reasons for suspecting him of murder. Lorn depart with a mys terious hint that Bus had best de lay negotiations with Francis Tally for a few days. .Chapter 43 THE OIVI8ION WH WERE) to become Immediate ly ranged In two different camps. And it happened just then, when the muffled aound ot rolcea In the parlor became more definite and clear and all at once Sue swept angrily into the lounge. Francis, angry too and showing it less pleasantly, followed her. His face also flushed, his eyes were nar row back ot those studious spec tacles, his hands were working nervously. Sue said, every word falling like a brittle little, icicle and yet mar ralously polite at the same time: 1 hope you don't mind my telling Mr. Lorn and Mr. Bundean of our talk, Francis. You see," she turned to me, "I have asked Francis if he will permit me to have a lawyer represent me. I feel" "No reason for it at all," burst in Francis. "1 came here from America to sottle things with this girl To give her a chance at five million dollars and she holds back and prattles about a " "I beg you sot to interrupt me, Francis." I was faintly amused to note that as Francis grew angrier Sue grew sweeter and cooler, but It was most infuriating sweetness and coolness. "I'm most grateful to my brother for such an effort," she went on. rThough perhapB it might have been made sooner before 1 had been subjected to " Her sweet ness faltered a little there, and she wept on quickly, preferring not to .talk, of the horror that had dogged Her days. "At the same time, I can't help feeling that just because of the amount ot the money Involved, it la only fitting and suitable to ask a lawyer to conduct negotiations for me." Francis's eyes were very iiarrow; t heard a slight rustle behind me, and I saw him dart a quick glance In that direction, and I had no doubt Madame Orethe had made her appearance. "Come now, Rue," said Francis rather pleadingly. "All you need to do is let me look at the token you have. It it is what it is supposed to be, the thing is done. Do be sen sible." "But, Francis," said Sue very sweetly, "Is there any particular reason why you refuse me a law yer?" There was an Instant or two of (Hence before Francis's gathering rage rose to his lips. Sue attacked so Bweetly, so coolly so gallantly from my own viewpoint, because I knew ot her empty hands. I knew ot the infirmity ot her ground. "Oo you mean," demanded Fran els, "that you don't trust met" "What a thing to sayt What a thing to aayl" cried Sue, giving a oft little ripple ot laughter that stung Francis and that actually hocked me In Its deceiving sweet ness. All women can shock you that way, '"TJHBN," said Francis, again glancing past me to where, with a quick following Took, I saw Madame Gretbe standing, motion less, her green eyes shining "then," he sold heavily, "you do trust met" Then Sue, very suddenly, and in totally easy and meaningless rolco, said an extremely odd thing. She Bald, her eyes then on Fran els, and her voice quite flat and even a bit bored: "Why should I not trust yout For now we see through a glass darkly, but then " And there she stopped and carefully arranged her crimson (cart at her throat as If It had her entire Interest. But her eyes through their dark eyelashes watched Fran cis. Francis did not speak. He only looked angry and baffled, and his eyes sought Madame Grothe again. There was a swift little swish of aytlk that broke the singularly tense moment Orethe stepped forward and passed her round silken arm through Suo'a. "Don't yen think you are a little overcautious, my dear?" she said McNary To Fight Chemawa Closing PORTLAND, May 35.

"Forgive me tor speaking, but I could scarcely help hearing you, you know. For your own good I must say this. It is bet ter for you to do as your brother wishes. Follow the terms ot your father's will and prove your iden tity to your brother and let him take you away. It la only a matter of form. And while 1 have hesitated to speak before, lest 1 make you feel unwelcome in this, your only home still still you must see what what a thing you have brought upon us all." She paused. I was glad to see that Sue was sternly unmoved. But I think she was still doubtful, still loath to discredit Gretna's motives In her own mind. And Orethe said suavely: Think what's waiting tor you. dear. Five million dollars five mil lions. The things you can buy. The things you can do." It was Just then that Sue's long. purposefully blind loyalty col lapsed. She removed her arm quiet ly trom Madame Orethe's clasp. "Dont think for a moment. Madame Lovachlem," aha said sweetly, "that I shall forget whai you've done. And I'm sure my brother will feel most grateful to you In your attempt to smooth the way before us." GRETHHJ looked placid, then faintly puzzled, then suddenly comprehending. Her white lids dropped over her secretive eyes, and she said gravely, as it taking Sue's words at their face value: 'Don't thank me, my dear. I've only done what 1 could do." "I'm afraid I'm not thanking you," said Sue quite frankly. "You see, it wasn't altogether kind of you, to keep what my my mother told you a secret from me. It was a reticence which is not of a nature to maintain my confidence in your friendship. You and your husband are the only people In Armene be sides myself who knew of the cir cumstances ot my Inheritance." I think Sue had not actually In tended to say so much. Knowing she must fight whether she liked or not, she struck a little too blind ly, choosing in her haste a weapon whose sharpness she did not quite comprehend. But Its very unexpect edness frightened Madame Orethe. Though, to be sure, only a close observer might have caught her fright In the sudden leaping of her eyes, In the plscatlve manner In which she addressed Sue and put an end to the situation with less adroitness than one might have ex pected ot her. You are tired and unstrung," she said. "Otherwise you would not speak In such a way to me. To your only friend. To " 'I have other friends," said Sue, cutting Into Orethe's soft speech without visible compunction. , The trouble is we are all tired and nervous and upset, and no won der. I'll order tea, and we'll all feel better." She walked with a swish of green silk to the bell and pushed It with her square, vigorous white thumb. Blissfully Sue's little smile flashed. I liked her being able to achieve It. She sold with a quiver of mirth in her voice: "I'm not quar reling. I'm only tolling you what I think. I'll go and call Mrs. Byng if we're going to have tea. She won't want to miss It." She turned quickly toward the stairway, and Lorn started to fol low her, but I sprang ahead ot him. I'll go along," I said, and we were on the stairs before anyone could stop us. I caught a green flicker from Orethe's eyes and heard her saying sharply some thing about Miss Tally's new ac quaintance, and then we passed around the landing. We turned from the lounge well with Its blank galleries and tiny group waiting down below and went along to Mrs. Byng's door. Sue knocked. Mrs. Byng did not reply immediately, and I said In a low voice: "Don't knock again for a mo ment. I want to talk to you." She glanced np and down the cor ridor. Away at the end a police man's blue coat and tight trousers came Into view. She said: "Here in my room." She opened the door. I've never known why I remembered In that hurried moment to enter It first In order to look about. At any rate, that'a what I did while she stood thero la the corridor. The room was empty. No one was about It was only the quivering of the door to the massive wardrobe that caught my eye. Copyright, ill, Uignon O. tberhart) Whit driad crt will the old wardrobs rvalt tomorrow L.
