VERDICT
TTrrLLIAM BROWN wai deithly
pals. He had affected an air
of tssuranco which seemed almost
grotesque when one noticed the
twitching nerve In his upper cheek,
ud the quick clenching and un
clenching of hla hands.
Linda Brown, present at this Im
portant momont, aeomed the more
composed of the two, but Marfan
wondered If that composure wasn't
ateeled doflance of Jenny Case, who
at watching "like Tabby waiting
for me to put the saucer on the
floor."
The judge was on the bench, had
questioned the Jurors and the fore
man was on his feet, the folded slip
raent," teased Marian, as she made
her way Into the mirrored cubicle.
"I don't know whom you're been
giving keys to this week," returned
Anne, (lashing a dimpled smile.
"Tired?"
"I should ssy," answored Marian,
tossing her hat to the top shelf with
expert accuracy, "going to take a
hot tub and pile Into bed." She was
stripping as she talked and had
slipped Into the bathroom, before
Anne, bo had been taking pins
from a freshly starchr-' nurae'a uni
form spoke again.
"Inn, your M. E. called a few
minutes ago. he wants you to call
the office Immediately."
"Now what?" asked Marian re
appearing In a woolly batb-robe.
"Watch the tub for me, will you?"
The telephone connection wai
made Instantly, fiowen evidently
was waiting for her call at the other
end.
"Thank heavens I got you," he
aid. "Listen, Ian, you said yon
knew Silver Hondon well. Do yon
know Cliff also?"
"Yes, why?"
"He shot himself, ten mlnntei
ago. They're bringing him Into
Central Emergency."
"And you want me to go down
there?"
"No, I want yon to leave for Reno

which contained the future of Wil
liam Brown In his hand.
"We the Jury," he said In hla so
norous voice, "And the defendant.
William Brown," he paused Impres
sively, "not guilty."
A roar swept ovor the courtroom
In aplte of the rapping of the bailiff's
gavel. Marian, eyes Intent upon
Jenny Case, saw the girl's mouth
open In ludicrous astonishment.
She started to arise as though to
protest, then sat back, Jerked there
by the band of somoone beside her.
"But he la guilty" her Hps formed
the phrase.
Marian turned to the defendant
who bad stood to accept tho verdict
Ho had sank Into a chair as though
his knees bad suddenly given away
Linda was standing, not looking at
her William, but gazing over bis
bead, across the room at Jenny, bit
ter triumph In her expression.
"And that's that," remarked
Marian wearily to Lon," come on.
let's get out Jones will phone In
the story, I'll report to Bowen to
morrow." Thoy made their way through thu
crowds to the street and Lon's
roadster,
"Marian," aald Lon, "yon look
worn out. I'm going to t.ke you
stmlght home. Ian, this work Is
too bard on you. I'm going to " he
.topped as a drlvor shot hla car up
en the left hand side, then cut di
rectly In front of him, "can't talk
here, I'll talk to you tomorrow nlgbl
Tour day off Isn't It? Anne Bays
yon have to sleep all day It she has
to glvo you a slooptng powder, so If
Its agrcrable to you, I'll meet you
there at Ave o'clock."
"TT Is," said Marian, delighting In
bis masterful assumption of au
thorlty. They had arrived belore.
tho npartmcnt house.
"Nearly twenty hours before 1 sue
you again." he mused as be loft her
at the door, then, "wo're going to do
something about that, also."
Something In the tone of his voice
brought a Itufh to Marlan'j checks
and a starry brilliance to her eye
She let herself Into her apartment
then leaned back aitnli'.st the door.
"Is that you. Ian?" called Anne
Stnntnn from the drrslng room.
"Who else has a key to this apart-
In a plane that takes off In half ai
honr, and break the news to Silver.'
AT ARIAN, who had been perched
l'1 on the arm of a divan, slid over
Into the divan before answering
"Cliff, shot himself," she repented
stupidly, and then, "fatally?" ehe
asked.
"Don't know yet," answered
Bowen'e voice, "his ex-gardener bad
been released with the rest of the
servants yesterday, but he forgot
some of his tools and went back at
night for aome reason to look for
them. He heard the shot, went In
and found Hondon. Luckily the
telephone hadn't been disconnected,
so he called the Emergency.
"Now listen Ian. Estes Is on the
way to your place In a cab. I've
given him orders on the pictures 1
want. You'll reach Reno at mldnlcht
tonight. Marks, our correspondent
there, will meot yon In his car and
rush you to the rejort where Silver
has been living. Ha says he can
make it In an hour and a half by
taking a short cut. That gives you
an hour to got your story and tele
phone It back here. I'll keep the
wires cleared for your call. Okny?"
"Okay." responded Marian still In
a dazed voice.
She placed the reeelvor back on
the hook, then turnod to find Anne
studying her with apprehension.
"Pack my orornlght hag, will you,
Anne?" Marian asked, "It seems
I'm on my way to Reno on the
toughest assignment I've ever
tackled."
As 'jhe bathed end dressed she
talkd, answering Anno'a questions
skotchllr.
"Sliver , . ? Sho'a the gorgoous
girl 1 used to go to Hills with. 1
v.-as a frosh when she was a luntor
and she took me nnder hor wing.
Oil. she had reasons, 1 was a perfect
foil, long and lanky and freckled as
a Pit-mouth Rock hen. What's she
like? A composite picture of all
the physical beauty In the world,
pale, golden hair, big brown eyes,
lovely real color In the mo.it petal
tike skin you over longed to touch
Sha used to wear silks and satins
when the rest of ns were wearing
serge and linen."
