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.
