He haa fol lowed Uarian all the way to Itrno but Silver catrhea aioht of him an anon aa he arrivea. Uilver aeke Uarian to tell Lon about the alfui- Chapter 11 CHARMING LON I ON looked at Marian expectant ' lr. but the remained silent. "Ian," prompted Silver. "War not let her tell you what he learned when she called the boa- eltal." auggeated Hamlin with gen tie sarcasm. "Ian," Stiver leaned forward, eyes dilated, one exqulaltely formed hand aver her heart "he Isn't, don't tell m be'a " "No," replied Marian ahortly, "he lan't He haa more than a lighting chance. He decided to fight after e'd received a telephone mea lage " "Ian" the color waa back In su rer cbeeka. And "Silver," came the aharp re minder from Hamlin. She leaned back again, waa allent a full minute, then whlBpered "the relief of It . . . almoat too much to bear." Then ahe turned to Lon. "I (ueaa I'll have to tell you, It doesn't eem fair to you, that you aliould be Here with ua and not understand. a,nd ebe closed ber eyes to veil the rloam of triumph which came aa Lon cast an Indignant look at Ma rian. "1 was married when 1 waa Just a roungater," Sliver explained. "My parenta Insisted, and 1 . . . well 1 '.bought It would be a lark to be able to have aome freedom. I learned bit terly that freedom waa the last thing 1 had won. "My husband, considerably older than I, was insanely Jealous. I stood It tour yeara and then I broke. 1 didn't want to go on living that way. It waa easy enough to win a divorce under the . . . the circumstances. "I waa given my decree today . . resterday now, and then be did aa be threatened. He aald he couldn't live without me and he shot him-lelf." She made an effective pauae, then continued. "Of course I feel terrible. I feel as It I bad murdered the man. I don't love blm. It's all over be tween us, but ... I had to do some thing about It, so I sent word to him that I did. "I lied to save blm, but I know I'll be forgiven that ... 1 told blm to light tor hla life and I'd rush down to be with him. I couldn't do loss could 1, Mr, Casad?" "I think you've been wondorful," blurted Lon, sincerely. "Just ono grand sport." "1 knew you'd understand," mur mured Sllvor, gratefully, "and now I have to Dnd some way of hurrying Into Reno to catch the morning tralu. Mr. Casad, would you, could you drive me In?" "I should say 1 could," declared Lon heartily, and turned to Marian. "There'a room tor the three of us. I'll rig up a place for Hero In the luggage carrier." "Ob, but Mr. Casad," protested Silver, "I don't fool that I could be crowded at a time like this ... my nerves are simply shattered. I foel ready to break down. Ian can stay here and rest She's worn out; sbo'll look after the dog. won't you, tan?" Lon and Sllvor turned to look at Marian, who aoomod concerned chiefly with a blaze in the heart of the hearth fire. f ARIAN aat looking Into the ' glowing embers aa though stricken with sudden grief. Not by any rule of sportsmanship could she turn to Silver, or to Lon, and de mand the other woman'a true char acter be revealed. "Marian, you won't mind, will you?" queried Lon In a voice that took ber acceptance aa a mattor of fact "I'll carry Mra. llondon to lleno, then come back for you." "But you don't need to, Mr. Ca sad." Interposed Hamlin. "I've all ready arranged to take care of Miss Gordon, during the remainder of bor stay In Nevada. I'm leaving for Reno thla morning, and we'd planned thai I should take ber In, then alter she'd had a good rest, take her out to see the sights." "Oh, you had?" demanded Lon belligerently "Well, I'd made dif ferent arrangemonta." "Too bad." said Hamlin. "How ever, If you care to Join us thla eve ning we'll be glad to have you. Oh, and we can take care of Horu In my j car, He aeema to accept Mlsa Gor don aa bla mistress." Ho nodded at the dog, who had remained with Marian, nearly para lyzing the foot across which he had stretched hla buk, but even the paralysis seemed comforting to Ma rian. She was silently blessing Ham lin for hla "magnificent lie," a He Silver couldn't question because she bad hurried to her room Imme diately after Lon bad assured her he would drive ber into Reno. Forcing gaiety Into ber voice, Ma rian looked at Lon and said in ex cellent Imitation of his voice a few momenta prevloua, "Lon, you wont mind, will you?" "I think you ought to rest Instead of running around," he retorted. "Oh, she'll have time to rest' Kamlln assured blm. "We'll be li town In a couple of boura and sb can sleep until six, then we'll al) meet In the lobby of ber hotei around seven-thirty, bow's that?" "Fine," declared Marian and atood up. Hamlin went for her wraps helped her Into tbem. "See you later Lon: I'm stopping at the El Cor dova." Hamlin had been ready to lean for Reno, as bla bags were all read In hla car, parked before a nearbj cabin. He tucked Marian under I robo, tbon went Into the place for I last minute aurvey. Hero took bli place In the seat beside Marian. Tboy wheeled passed tbe lodgt Just as tbe sun. topping tbe Slerrl Nevada, slashed the lake with th4 blade of Its reflection. Tbe watei along the rlm of the road the) skimmed turned a Maxfleld Parrlat blue, against which the pinea atood like ebony statues. HAMLIN asked questions; clove! questions Marian recalled dayi later. She wondered then how mud she bad actually revealed to blm. ol herself, her borne life, Lon Casad and all she knew of him. When he seemed satisfied to con centrate his attention on the road she sat musing, too tired to be acta ally disheartened at the turn ol events, thinking of Silver, ber Intor ost In Lon; thinking of Silver and how every frock .she wore told a definite story, created a deflnlts picture. Anne had suggested new clothes . , , ahe'd buy some, she'd been careful with ber generous sal ary, now she would , . . would splurge. She wished aba had some thing other than the Iliac angora foi tonight. "Mr. Humlln. would you think I was too feminine it I asked where 1 might buy a dress to woar tonight?" she asked. Hnmlln gnve her a quick, wist smile. "I'd think you were very fem inine and very wise," he returned. "The storea won't be open when wt reach Reno. It you'll make a list ol what you want I'll have a profes slonnl shoppor chose somo things and send thorn up to you on ap proval." "You are kind," murmured Ma rian, and slept. She had a dim mem ory of stumbling blindly Into the lobby of the El Cordova, of hearing Hnmlln say he would look after the dog, of being carried aloft to a warm, lovely room, of allpplng between sheets then came oblivion. Then there was a bell. She awak ened, reached for the Instrument "It Is llvo-thlrty, Mlsa Gordon," ex plained tho operator. "You asked to bo called at that time." "1 did, didn't I, and will you con nect me with the beauty salon?" "Certainly. Do you want tht boxes sent to your room at once?" "Uoxos?" questioned Marian, then remembered she had discussed shopping with Hamlin and bad for gotten to leave a Hat. He bad r memborod. "Please do." she told thi operator. The boxes came, big boxes and little boxes, medium-sized boxes and long flat ones. Marian watched tht porter wheel them In and gasped. Surely the portor needed a sub stantial tip. She usually carried small chango In her cent pocket tot such emergencies. She thrust het bund Into one pockot and found II stuffed with paper , . .. copy paper, aha supposed; she never threw away any notes until she had scanned them for future referonca . . she must do that right away. She tipped the porter, then stared In surprise. What she had thought was copy paper was the loiter Cliff Hondon bad written to Silver but how had It gotten Into her pocket? Then she leaned forward In sur prlso. The blurred purple stamp at the top of the page read "The Mad den) Construction Company." That was the name of the Arm from which William Drown waa supposed to have accepted a bribe, rcWni'. I'll. It 5.--) Tomorrow. Marian raalirtl the Importance of her find.
