Newspaper Page TextPAGE TE!T MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOItl). OREGON, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1934 EtIsi Marian Gordon by JEAX.XE HO !'.. I X Chsptsr II NEW EVIDENCE 'T'ENSB with excitement, Marian leaned forward and studied tie pair's stamp at the top of Cliff Bon don's letter to Sllrer. She hadn't keen mistaken, there It was, "The Maddern Construction Company" and, Just below In (mailer type, "Office of J. C McBwaln, general tanager." ' Marian leaned back. J. C Mo Svaln waa Silver's father. Cliff had wr.'tten something abont Silver's thli king more of her father than of him, and Surer bad said no one but a ead would condemn a girl for wanting to help her father. But why, wondered Marian, should J. C. McSwaln, head of a company handling such an Immense contract, need help? She hadn't thought much of that angle at the Brat reading of the letter. She would read It again carefully. She read, and when she reached the last of the second page, studied sacn word carefully. Don't blame ma, lt' your own fault, unless I'm at fault for never bavins refused you anythlns I could five. Voa seemed to Hsura your Dad and his reputation more important than ma . . .you wera right of oooraa only , . . ob wall. Harlan turned a page, a thick re Kha thnmharf fr mAimant then gasped In wonder. There were two pages mere. Now she separated the pages and found the inner one marked with the same scrawling writing: illver. If I hadn't been softheaded aa well aa softhearted, I would have kept my money and not put It Into tha Maddern to sava your father. He "ays I bousht a title: that's really humorous, fourth vice-president with the right to use desk space In their office and their sta tionery. Yoo pretend to know nothlnc of business but you're canny, you know as woll as I. that he shouldn't have bid In that school con tract at such a low flsura. Evon with labor and commodities at a new low, ha couldn't nil such a con tract and not crash financially, unless ha used the cheapest ma terial on the market; material that can't pass Inspection. He thought ho'u offset that danger when he bousht tha Inspector with that ten thousnndi I could hnva saved my serf with even that It's tost monev now for even If tha man Is cleared, tha political faction pressing the chars; wtll watch the Maddern work. He'a rolns to need every cent I cava him to break even. It looks as though you're In line tn , find a new rich husband. Tou wtll and he'll arlve to you lust as I have. Just as liwson. the poor. smitten fruit rancher rave the use of his name and his bank aocount to save Brown and IndtrecUy your . father for you. Marian fingered the page with irembllng hands. She held here evl lence which might have sent Drown k the penitentiary: which might Itlll send McSwaln there, and Law ton, too. for perjnry. She knew Stiver had never read this page, tor If she had she would have burned It Immediately. IT was a wonderful story. Marian's first Impulse was to telephone the office at once. But dare she? aside from the havoo It would bring, would a scrawled note miraculously found in a reporter's pocket be enough evidence? She would wait. No wonder Silver hsdn't been orry that Hondon might die. With his death came certainty of silence en the bribe. That hysterls had been half relief, half shock. But what a eelf-centered person she must be to bare demanded the sacrifice of Hon don's money, only to leave him when It was gone. And how sure of his honor both she and her father had been. But how had that letter reached ber coat pocket! She had thrown the letter onto the chair tn which she was sitting, ber coat had also been there. However, letters didn't ap and walk Into pockets, Hamlin bad taken her coat from the chair to hang It up. He must have thought the letter part of ber notee and crammed It Into hor pocket without knowing what It was. But wouldn't he know . . . that man with the wise, kind ayes snd eynlcal tuoulhT It remained now for her to give the letter to Sliver, If possible with out her knowing It Silver waa In Oakland by this time . . . would she try to see Hondon ... try to destroy nuu. Ai . -u.i ui possi bility Marian reached tor the tele phone and placed a long distance call to the Emergency Hospital. "Mr. Hondon was moved to Mere dith Hospital this morning," the operator informed her. Marian called Meredith, then asked for the Superintendent, whom she knew. "Marian Gordon of the Dispatch," she eiplaloed, "Is It possible for anyone to see Mr. Hondon?" she asked. "No, I'm sorry. Miss Gordon, but for bis own sake, his Joctor has In sisted he be left entirely alone. He seems to have recovered from the blood transfusion this afternoon and we believe he will pull through If he Isn't disturbed." "That Includes bis' wife, also? I mean she won't be allowed In?" "No." "Mr. Carlyale, this Is most Im portant 1 am at Reno. I've been with Mrs. Hondon and she Is ter ribly hysterical. She doesn't appear so at first, but any excitement sends her Into a regular fit," "Thank you, Marian," he re turned, "we'll be extra careful, now, that she doesn't reach blm." She turned to the . boxes, opened the first curiously. A foam of lace and sheer silk, threaded with tiny turquoise ribbons. The second! stockings like gossame: threads spun by an Indolent spider. Her lingers moved rapidly now, untying strings. TTALF an hour later she went down to the beauty salon leav ing behind her a room which looked aa It It had been struck by a whirl wind. Boxes, tissue paper, ribbons and atrlng lay strewn about the furniture, but on the bed" lay the kind of a frock she had dreamed about Leaning back In the ehlnts draped chair while the firm fingers of an operator ironed the lines of weariness from her face, she smiled. More Important than the trocka and their beauty waa a note sbe bod re ceived from Lon. Just before leaving her room. Mentally she reviewed the note. She knew the message by heart It had been short, terse, a bit dogged. "Ian, denr, remember please that I am driving you back to Oakland tomorrow and I don't want Ham lin along as a chaperone. I've lots to talk about. Lon." Back In her room she dressed. then surveyed bersolf In the full- length mirror In complete surprise. From tip to toe sbe was a symphony in gold. Qoldtlppcd slippers, the frock, evon her skin seemed to glow with a mellow light, topped by the cap of ber hair which lay molded to ber head In soft flat waves. "If I had anotber nose than this upstart I wouldn't mind competing with all the Slivers In the world," she Informed the radiant figure. Lon's surplse almost equaled her own. She half wondered If It were complimentary. Ian," be cried, "I ... I didn't realise you could look like this," then covering bis mlBtnke, "I mean I know you were beautiful, only now you re a ... a knockout" Hamlin was watching the tableau with bis wise smile, and when Lon bad gone below for flowers to match her frock be spoke. I see you approved of my shop per's choice," he said. "She's a wltcb." Marian confided, and you a wonder to take care of me In tbls way. I waa stupid with weariness." ' I thought so and ... I told you how I felt about pulling strings and watching puppets dance." And yon consider me a puppet?"' No. Miss Gordon, you're my lead ing lsdy In the smartest comedy- drama I've watched tor a long time." Marlon flashed him an under standing smile"! believe you're psychic," she challenged. No," he returned seriously, "but when 1 see poople who desorve hap piness and 1 feel I can belp them along the way to that happiness, I'm willing to risk burning my Angers meddling with thetr business. "Marian, I beg your pardon, Miss Gordon, you are too honorable . . . there's Mr. Casad returning, 1 must rush this . , . don't forget you must flgbt Are with Are. You bold some thing which glrcs you control of your future. Don't fall to use It It necessary ..." Hamlin Irove them to dinner. "I'll forego the privilege of the host," said be as tha first dance number started. "Mr. Casad, you take Miss Gordon, this time."

CAPETOWN (P) fllp.ng dekneu, terror of the African tropics, a dis ease which claims many thouaanda of human Uvea every year, and destroys vast herds of cattle, may be greatly reduced as a. result of patient research work by the union government. A trap for the tsetw fly, which car ries the disease, has been perfected by E. H. T. Harris, government tsetse fly officer In Zululand. Adjoining the Zululand game re serve are farming settlements. In the early days the files remained on tho game in the reserve, but as the ani mals Increased and spread over he border into the settlements, they car ried the flies with them and farm cattle died in large numbers, Aked Csoverriment Aid Settlers appealed to the government, and asked for the destruction of the , bush and the extermination of the game as the only cure. Provincial authorities, who were the custodians of the reserve, could not agree. Harris was called in. He advised diminution rather ex termination, and suggested that the game should be driven back to the reserve. This, he said, would restrict the fly to a defined area. Then he divided the reserve Into sections and started his work of ex termination. Harris s&ld that, contrary to tbe belief that the tsetse fly hunted by scent, his Investigations bad shown that It hunts only by sight. It sees an object but Is unable to tell wheth er It Is a live animal or a, trap, until It bites or la caught. . Caught By 'Shadow He noticed that the Insects always flew to the shadowed part of an ani mal's belly so he made his traps with an opening below where tho shadow part would be. The files settled there, crnwled up and were caught. At the top of the trap is another opening letting in the light and ovar this a cage of fine netting Is placed. The fly Is attracted by the light, crawls up the trap snd Is caught In the cage above. This light arrange ment Is the whole mechanism of the trap. " In the carrying out of his work, Harris has supervised the building of 150 miles of road through the Jungle and across rivers Into the heart of the Zululand game reserve. MRS.
