PAGE TEN M EI) FORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOtfl). OREGON, WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 3. 1934. Marian Gordon iiv .f;.iwK notv.if.i.v SYNOPSIS; Marian Gordon Horning Dispatch reporter, is kept to long telling her editor the de tail of the Urown bribery trial that Lon Casad, her very good friend, ha appare 'ly tired of wiitmo and pone away. Brown ha been accused of takino HO.QOO to pass a defective h'th school build ing : he hae been tracked down by Jenny Case, the airl he lilted in favor of Jenny's roommate, lAnda Carlton. The jury is still out and Marian is on her way to the court house. She is talking with Tony the flower seller. Chapter Three ABOUT HONOR "TIE aay to you to lit here," Tl Tony unfolded a canvas stool and placed It beside the stand. Marian sat. She sat because she felt ber knees would no longer sup port her. She who had covered mur ders, who had covered the emer gency hospital beat and assisted the attendants In rushed hours without even paling, was suddenly weak be er uae a mere man bad literally walked out on her. There on tbe canvas stool, the pedestrian traffic eddying about her. the street lights Oaring down on her, she reviewed her weakness and was amazed. Heretofore, Lon had meant an Intoxicating Joy that de fied the weariness of long days In a ituffy court room, long evenings on saucer," thought Marian. She added a wld? mouthed cat to the collec tion of rodents. And then Into the gloom of the big room stepped Lon Casad. Marian wondered, hysterically, why eyery one In the room didn't atop looking and etare, why tbe clock over tbe bench didn't stop ticking, why the flag didn't start waving. Had tbere ever been anyone finer in that old room? He was talking to the bailiff, dark head bent a little to one side, pleas ing grin showing a row of square white teeth, strong shoulders held a little back, even as bis bead was bent. Marian noticed bis amber hazel eyes searching the room. They focused on her. Lon was bending over Marian', chair, apologizing, explaining "It happened tbls way," he said, "Tony's little Marietta has tbe measles. Tony's big Marietta bad told him to be sure to send down some vaseline for Little Marietta's chest, and be bad forgotten." "And you went out, bought It and carried It down," declared Marian, and added, "and what else did yon 'buy and carry down?" "Candy and a picture book," be admitted. It it m ft 1 M ' f. I Wl V ' U ' nii "Tony," Marian said, "I must go on (be dance floor. Now she realized there was another fide to this love Business, an unpleasant side bitter with fear of loss. She wat, being an UUcr fool. "Tony," she said arising, "1 must to on. Please tell tbe gentloman I will be at the courthouse until the verdict on tbe Brown case Is In." Tony waa still assuring her of bis willingness to relay the meBsage as he started ber Journey down through town. She stopped at Ham burger Joe's stand for a sandwich and a cup of coffee, but even the aroma of the frying onions could not stimulate the appetite which had been so ravenoua before, and he left the sandwich with one small halt moon bitten from Its bun-brown side. Listlessly tbe pushed through tbe crowded courthouse corridors where Interested spectator, were smoking and talking to pass the time away. She passed tbe bailiff at the door and surveyed the Interior. A dreary place. Pale llghtt overhead spreading a ghastly light over blue walls, plain oak bencb and Jury box. Tbe long tables usually occupied by counsel and Ly the press were de serted as the men gathorod In groups. A f AR1AN went to the press table, L' slipped Into a chair, drew out tbe wad of copy paper and added a wistful eyed Mickey Mouse to her collection. Bowen had said, "Watch Jenny Case." Carefully carelesa, Marian looked beyond tbe fenced-in enclo sure. Jenny waa one of the fow spec tators who had remained In the room. She eat, leaning forward, thin chin resting In an angular cupped band. Jenny removed the bat which bad been shading her face and Marian's sympathy cooled. Her hair waa the lustcrleas black ota vulture's wing. Her face was flushed. Her dark yea. set too closely together for any Indication of generosity, were glanc ing here and there as though antlcl paling some pleasing event Occa sionally her small pink pointed tongue would dart out to wet thin, red lips. "Like Tabby does when she watches me pour croam Into a "T O.N, you're a darling, whls pered Marian. No use to spoil bis pleasure by telling him children with measles weren't allowed to uh their eyes, nor to oat candy. Sh waa proud of his generosity, bli consideration Ijr other people then . . later she was to look back on this and wonder If those qualities wore commendable. "What's the big argument going on In the corner?" he Inquired pointing to a group of men. "Looks as though Lem Souther land, counsel for the defense, was trying to aell something." said Ma rian, "listen." "Honor belongs to the hoop-skirt age," Sutherland waa Baying, "If, passe. Ob I'll admit tbere 1, honor among a ten men, there may be honor among thieves, but honor among women . . . never!" "How about It Ian." called one of the reporters, and the group made their way towarda the press table. "I'd never thought about It," Ma rian admitted ant! turned to Lon, "what's your Idea of honor?" "That mon are honorable bei-auBe Its tbe sporting thing to be and most men are trained to be good sporta; that thieves may be honorable: If so It's because they're afraid of being put on the spot If they're not; that women . . . well womrn act Instinc tively" "And you don't believe they are Instinctively bonornblo," Interposed Sutherland with satisfaction, "that's right It's biologically impossible. Their honor usually Involves some man and when two women are after the same man aa they are In thl. Brown bribery case "You misunderstood." said Lon firmly. "1 believe women are so In stinctively honorable . . . that Is most women . . . that they are not conscloua of It, and therefore don't advertise IL" Marian wished she might hear more of his views, but there was a Hurry at one end of the room, a deputy In charge of the Jury had appeared to announce the jury had reached a verdict. A messenger was being dispatched to the Judge's chnmbera to call Ills Honor to the bench, and Lem Sutherland bad dls appeared to rind his clients. tCetvtikt.
