Tlco etenle ftun kept Marian Gordon, reporter lor the Horning Dtipntch, 6uy tar into the niijht. One wot the ac quittal of William Uotcen of a brlb try charge, and the other viae ml' ver Uon.!on'e divorce, bllver had barn a echool friend of Marian', and what made the divorce im portant was that Vttft Hondon Ml ver'e huebnnd. had ehnt himself when it wae granted. Silver u btt ter against Cliff, and tloee not eare that he hae tried to die. Hut to tow Hondon and act at the reaeone for Ullver'e attitude. Marian ami her editor deride to tell tlonilon Kllver wants him to art well. Marian ie talking tn htm from Hilver'e ca!in near Reno, Chapter Nino COACHING SILVER fARIAN ga th reporter the bare story, being careful not to fa; anything that might destroy the possibility of getting down to the ssentlals ot the tangle. She also gave him Anne Stanton's liame as the best Intermediary. Watching Silver twist and squirm In ter effort to relesse herself from JTsmlln's arms. Hamlin's fare was a furious combination ot Interest and disgust. "Hush, Silver," he repeated over eind over. "Hush; It's better this ray." "It's He!" screamed Silver, but Harlan, who had seen her struggle loose from her frloni, placed her Unger on the receiver bar and de stroyed the connection. ' For a moment it looked as If she t'ould vent her fury on Marian, and gain Max stepped In, slinking Sil ver sj if she wore a toy doll. "For your own sake, Silver, calm Mown." 'B but she 1-lled." 'She certainly did," agreed Max. "That lie was a musterpiece. You ought to get down on your knees .nd thank her. She kept the world from knowing just whst kind of a woman you . . are uou If thai ax-husband of yours hns a fighting chance for life, no'U umke the grade. If he hasn't he'll go out happy. I "You told me you wanted to bo an actress. All right, here's your opportunity. Play up and 1 11 sec you have a chance In my next show." "Now let's sit down and dlscusB the future. But first I'm going to tele phone 'he lodge and have them sen j .over some hot coffee and sand wiches. That friend of yours looks like sho's about to pass out on her beels." Marian didn't coed a' second Invi tation to clip Into a chair before the hearth. Now that her story was m. the scene with Silver over, she felt physically and emotionally exhauui ed. She knew there were things she should do. Help Estes with bis pic tures . . . She know ho had taken ex teriors, had soon the flash of his light with Its mullled report And she should wire Lon Casad that she wouldn't be able to see him that night. "MOW, Miss Gordon" Max had seated himself opposite her, the subdued Silver betweon them, "do you think the other newspapers will send up their representatives?" "They may," Marian answered. "The Hondons represented one o the oldest, tlntst families In the State, and Cltlt was the last of the lino. Silver's father has been an lm portant ngure In politics, and she's been copy ever slnco she was born." "Then we'd better coach Stiver to nphold your version of this trag edy." "riease," Marian Intercepted, "you asked me If I were hero as a friend or a reporter. 1 wonder if It wouldn't he fair for nie to ask a sluil lar question. Are yon horo as a friend or a dance? I don't even know your name. "Tovcht," murmured Max, "my name Is Hamlin. I am merely a friend. 1 came up here to take tho matrimonial euro. It Is permanent. My wlfo. or ex-wlfe, doesn't like cold weathor, so 1 obliged her by get ting a divorce for desertion, while ! she went to Florida to be with her next er, husband. "My interest Is inoro or less Im personal. I started my plny-wrltlng career by being a stage nmnugei and I've nover recovered from the desire to pull strings and watch the ptipi.ett dance." "Thank you." Marian smiled nt bis frankness. "Then would you mind pulling a couple ot those strings to make Silver pose tor a picture T" Hamlin turned to Silver, thought moment, fien spoke. "Miss Cor- uou Uilb gttcu you u ctiuicu ol jiiuj log the leud In a clean drama ... or showing what a poor sport a spoiled woman can be. "You believe Mr. Hondon did this to spite you: to make the world be lieve "ou drove him to do It. The best way you can check that Impres sion Is by acting the part ot a lov able misunderstood woman, ready to forgive and " "But, Max," protested Silver, "1 don't want to go hack to him. I'm through .. . through!" "lie may not be thero to go back to. Qjod heavens, girl, If he Is alive can't you bo woman enough to stand by until he's out of danger';" "I . . . well, but I won't fly back, I'm r.frald." "You may not bare to go at all, remember. Ready now for some pic tures:" "I . . . maybe I'd hotter change," she faltered, and Marian looked away, afraid tho contempt sho felt would show In her face. "A dark dress, don't you think, with a little white around the throat, sort ot sctioot-glrl looking?" She hurried iway, aud Hainllu and Marian exchanged glunces. Then both of them luurhcd. "You call In your photosraphor, I'll call tho emergency hospital," he said. By tho time testes and Marks cn tored the call was through, and Hamlin motioned Marian to the tel ephone. "Jonr.y," Marian said to the hosrl tal switchboard orerator, "this is Marian Gordon A the Dispatch. Ho-v Is Mr. Hondon . . oh," her breath caught In a quick gasp, "Is Anno Stanton there? Please put her on the wire" f ARIAM waited In breathless sus pense for Annes voice to come over the wire. Then, "III, Ian " came the cheery greeting, "what did I tell you about saving a man's lite? I did It but I grinned, and ao they won't give mo credit" "Anne, be yourself," Marian laughed in relief at tho messn.ge. "You mean, I suppose tlia' Hondon will live?" "It's this wny. Hondon had a fight ing chance to live, but be wouldn't fight. He kept M'iklug and sluklng until we started courUli.g the min utes. Then someone telephoned a message that his ex-wlfe sent ber love, and wanted blm to put up a good battle and that she we going to fly here to be with him. "Well, Inn, he was going down for the third time when I put this mes sage across to him. You should have soen tho change. His eyes opened, and, gosh, you should have seen the light In them. From that moment on ho started picking up. If ho can stand a blood tiansfuslon later on ho's ill to the good. "What did vou cay?" she asked, for Marian had given an Inarticulate gasp She was realizing the respon sibility she had assumed In nor unso licited usurping o' Silver's r'ghts. Suppose Silver refused to carry ou? "Anne," slio said, "what effect will It hare on him It Silver Isn't able to reach him for . . . say forty-eight hours?" "Better for him If she can't," Anno returned. "I Imoglne under the cir cumstances It i.ould he a pro.tv stiff strain. If she's going to have difficulty In reaching hero I'll tell him sho's already In town, but wo won't let bur In mil ho's strong. r. That will keep Mm lighting nnd g've her time. Then when ho's out of danger sho'll probably be ready to sei him. Hew does that sound?" "I.Ike a reprieve at the eleventh hour," Mnrinn told her enigmatical ly. "And suy, Anne. 111 j u .tic phone Ixin Cased and tell ulm 1 won't bu ablo to make It jae to town In tlmo to keep my engagement with him? Thanks. Sec you '. a cou plo of days." As sh 'urned from the toleplione a servant from the lodgo appeared with a tiny, and from tho Inner dour apponrod Silver, a demure llguro In dark blue, a wide white pique rollar giving her tho appearance of Just having stepped from a convent. At'.er sli9 had iosoi. for tnnutuor ahle photographs to tho satisfaction ot Kstes (and, Marian believed, her self) the four ot thera gathered about tho tnblo Hamlin had spread. Hi lajed, Marian listened to the clock strike four and to tho roar of an approaching motor. In a tow mo menta she heard a step on tho cabin porch. (Cefv'it'l.
