Silver jult hoe divorced Cliff: the it unmoved by hie act. and denouncee it as on attempt to make her lose toee with the world. But Marian telephone It her paper that miver was oroi:en l hearted, and hae her editor tele- phone the hospital flit Silver to tn her way to her former hue band'e tide. For Marian reallege that Cliff really hae tried to move what ho could tor Silver from the wreck of hie bvelnme. There I a ttep on the porch of Bitver'e cabin. Chapter 10 ENTER JEALOUSY TTAMLIN went to the. door and awiinj It wide. Marian Jumped Is her feet, for Into the warm light et the cabin stepped Lionel Cased. "You hare the distinction of be ing tbe only woman who ever tried to fir out on a date with me," be aid to Marian. "Couldn't let you get iway with It, io here 1 am." "This Is Mr. Casad. Mr. Hamlin." aid Marian, laughing aa she spoke. It was so good to see him standing there, overcoat collar turned up. lark hair ruffled from the swift re moral of hla hat, hazel eyes gleam ing with fun. So reassuring to know discovered there were notes as well as cats and mice on It, 1 figured you might need It before I saw you again and drove back to the apart meTiL" He banded her the rumpled wad of copy paper that had served her during the Brown trial. "And yon drove up all alone?" questioned Marian. "Not exactly. Hero's In the car." "Bring him In," urged Marian. Lon went after the dog, entering the front door as Hamlin came In from the kitchenette. "How do you do?" said Hamlin gravely to the big dog, who moved towards the Are at a sedate pace. Hero looked at him, went close and snlffod, then sat down and of fered a paw. "Uero," Marian began, and the dog, hearing bor voice, went quick ly to her, nuzzled bis bead Into bor lap, "you old darling," she added, and was rewarded by a gentle dos ing of his huge white tusks on her hand. I THE greetings over he went to a nir hpfnrA the hpnrth. ji!M tn m. halt reclining position and beaved a groat sigh. The algb was echoed on the threshold of an Inner room. All turned to look. Silver was making an entranco. Marian took one look at. her, then turned to Max Hamlin. With snarl, Here rose to attack. he had spent the night driving east to see her. She wondered bow he had learned she was leaving and longed to ask him. And then she was conscious of Silver's moving to her side, but not nntll she heard bor soft, studied, "And this Is another reporter?" said u only Silver could say It, did she realize bow altogether desirable he must look to any woman. "Mr. Casad, a friend of mine." Marian made tbe Introduction me chanically, ilow did Silver manage to Imbue ordinary words with such subtle Innuendo? In that simple phrase she had told Lon Casad that tn him she recognized a definite challenge to her charm, and found him worthy of conquest. "Oh," murmured Silver In a vague voice, "won't you come tn out of the cold? Max, do order some more food from the lodge, then mix Mr. Casad a hot drink, thero'a a dear." As they closed the door and moved Into the room Estei arose. "Marks Is going to drive me back to Reno so I can catch that early pinna. Tou're In good hands, aron't you, Ian?" MARIAN'S eyes were answer enough and the two men de parted leaving tbe four of them. Sil ver, eyes narrowed speculatively, smiled at Lon. "You won't mind be ing left alone with Ian, while ) change to something comfortable, will you?" and she added plaintive ly, "I've been through such an or deal." "No, Indeed," answered Lon, too heartily to he complimentary. Hamlin departed for the kitch enette and tbe momont the door elosed, Lon turned to Ian. "Money, when I saw that ahlp flying awny with yon, without me beside you, I could hare sprouted wings right then and there and taken after you. It was the queerest feeling. "There wasn't a thing to do then hut take oft rjter you. I called your air. Bowen and he told me where to locate you, so I didn't mnko the onnecessary trip Into Reno , . . and here 1 am." "But bow did you know I was leaving?" "Oh, why yon left this . . . this eomlo section In the car and after I She found his eyes seeking hers and together they laughed. Sllvor had found In Lon the audi ence Bho sought and had dressed to her role. She wore a trailing negligee of grey chiffon velvet, a soft ruff of silk at the nock. Powder-pale cheeks and artfully smudged shadows about the eyos transformed her into a dollcatcly suffering woman. With the negligee Silver bad donned an air of lassitude which caused Hamlin's mouth to quirk into a crooked smile, but which sent Lon hurrying for a chair. Sllvor was half-way to H when she espied Hero. With a childish cry of delight she sprang up and rushed to the hearth "You beautiful thing." sho cried. Then her cry changed to a scream of terror. Horo, dozing, had scarcely be come aware of a newcomer In the room, when be heard the cry aud saw a cloud of grey draperies swoop ing down on him. With a snarl of fright he arose to attack, and only Lon'a shoutod command of "Halt" and Marian's quick grasp of his har ness, kept him from sinking his teeth In the unearthly grey obloct that had aroused blm from hla halt slttmbor. Lon turned from apologizing to Mrs. Hondon and scolded the dog In no uncertain terms. "Don't do that," Interposed Ham lin. "She had no business descend ing on a strange dog like that. Even a human being would try to protect himself under similar circum stances." Marian was rubbing the dog's ears, scratching his head, trying In every secret way she knew to com mend him for his action, half ashamed of the satisfaction she felt that he recognized Sliver as a com mon enemy. Gradually the tension of the mo ment relaxed. Sliver tocussed her attention on Lon. "I supposo Inn'a told yon of my trouble," sho snld. "No," answered Lon, "You tell him, Ian. It hurts so even to think of It." Silver, tomorrow, plxyi hr rols to tha hilt. INDIAN CHEFS BURIAL SPOT IS FINALLY TOLD CATHLAMTTT, Vwh.

I SPIES F ISGOISE Br Stewart Drown (United Press Staff Correspondent) VIENNA (UP) Nazis In beggars raRa. Bple betrfting on street corners. Beggars with "rented babies." Briars with riches far beyond tnetr pegging powers. These were things the Vienna, po lice discovered when they Investi gated the local "begging raeixet. Wholesale Arrests Hundreds have been arrested end divested of their beggars' rags. The hundreds still on the streets are under strict supervision. There were two reasons for the clean-'jp. The first was political. Police spies reported scores of Nazi agents wero using beggars' clothes to facilitate the transmission of party orders and propaganda. The second reason was social. A large number of beggars were skill ful swindlers. Their tricks harf made the Viennese wary of all beggars. The first reason really forced the police to act. They had known for a long time the beggars were abus ing their privileges but. In true Viennese fashion, they delayed doing anything about It. Not until they received Informa tion that the beggara were honey-. combed with Nazi spies did the po lice decide to act. And they acted Immediately and thoroughly! Thousands of ragged men and women, many of them bearing self inflicted or false wounds, were rounded up and question. On many of them the police found lmportanc subversive documents, and on others riches far above their station In life. Beggars are 'one of Vienna's war legacies. Since the war there ha been great suffering In Vienna and many persons, from all walks of life, have been forced 'to beg . or starve. On every street block there are two or three beggars. One cannot alt In an open air restaurant 01 sidewalk cafe without being ap proached several times. In many In stances the requests are legitimate; In others they are not. AWAITS FREEZE SHrNGliH POINT. Yukon Territory (UP) Watched by Eskimo herds men, 3.000 reindeer graze here, await ing freezing of the Mackenzie river for the last lap of their Journey from Alaska to northern Canada. The deer were sold by Ralph Lo me n, of Seattle, to the Canadian gov ernment.

Four years ago the drive started, across 1.500 miles of Arctic wastes. Andrew Bahr. a Laplander, was In charge of the herd. The deer will be delivered to Canadian representatives 75 miles east of the Mackenzie river delta. Fauns born each spring since the movement of the reindeer began bal anced the animals which died or were killed by wolves. FAILS TO KILL CAVENDISH, Vt. (UP) What amount to a local legend Is the case of Phlneaa P. Osce. who we shot i through the had with a tamping , iron 86 years ago and lived to tell the tale. It was while working as foreman of the Rutland & Burlington Rail road construction crew that the iron, three feet, seven inches long, and one and a quarter Inches In diameter, and weighing 13',i pounds, entered Cages face at the left side near the Jaw, went back of his left eye, emerg ed through the top of his skull, and landed 50 feet away. Gages men picked him up. put him In an ox cart and took him to a tav ern a mile away. He lost much blood, but not Ifls 'consciousness. The hole In his head was two Inches wide and three and a half inches long. Believed dying, he was meusured for his cof fin, but, to the astonishment of all. he gradually recovered and lived 12 years thereafter. His skull and the tamping Iron are now on exhibition at Harvard Medi cal Museum in Boston. Million Kulnimtv Iruiit Planted MT. HOOD, Ore.
