Chapter 14 SACRIFICE XIARIAN itood before the casino i-'J mirror, apparently trying t weave a oft atrand of ball Into the fold of Iti ware. Tbe other girl In the mirror (tared back at her with accusing eyes. Tbe other glr. bad no decision to make. It showed In tbe Arm line of her lips, the steady gaze of flolet- blue eyes. She bad made ner neci- lon (n the log cabin the previous night She bad protected Silver from herself. She had protected Cliff Hon don from Silver. She turned from tbe mirror. It was too late now to revoke that act. Simply because Silver had recog nised Lon's charm was no reason for ber to change. Besides, Cliff Hondon wun't yet out of danger and he Lad -he right to an unhampered fight. An angry Silver couldn't be handled. They drove now to a queer little hack on a hill overlooking the lights of the town, sat on benches before a rough boarded table and llstenod to boys In cowboy garb sing ongs of the range. Hamlin seemed preoccupied, Ma rian subdued, only Lon remained cheerful. - "By the way. Cased," Hamlin ven tured at length, "did you see Mrs. Hondon off on the train?" Marian looked up quickly. Ham lin bad been protecting her. He badn't known but that Lon knew he was s laying In town. Ha had been trying to give Marian this eve sing without competition. She lis tened eagerly for Lon's answer. "Yes, and po," be returned. "She asked me to leave ber at tbe Moun tainside Ho'el and said she had a little business to attend to and would have a friend take ber to tbe train. Poor girt," he added, "1 sure ly felt lorry tor her. She curled up In tbe car seat and sort of whim pered. Prom what she said that bus band of hers must have been a Jeal ous, weak sort." "No," countered Hamlin, "1 don't think so. Silver Is attractive. She demands the admiration of every man she meets, and no husband likes to share his wife's company too much, '.a to his weakness, I be lieve be was more Impulsive than weak. A lot of us would do such thlngn on the spur of the moment If the . . . the tools were bandy." "I don't know about that," Lon countered. "I've got too much curi osity, myself. She surely was cut up about the shooting." Hamlin smiled bis crooked smile. "I hope you offored her the proper comfort," he said, Lon's face flushed. "Afraid 1 wasn't much of a comforter, 1 was pretty tired and I had other things; lmporia.it things on my mind." "I thought you might drive her on down to Oakland," Hamlin con tinued. "Be easier on her, ot course, than the train." "CHE did suggost It," Lon ad u mltted, "but I told her I was afraid I'd go to sleep at the wheel and ditch us. 8he offered to wait until 1 rested, but I dldi't want any one wangling In on that trip be cause I was taking Ian, so I told ber I probably wouldn't leave before neit morning . . . that's this morn ing. Isn't It?" be said, looking at his watcb. "Besides," he defended, "I figured she had other friends who would be slad to drive her down." "1 don't blame yon for not want ing to share Miss Gordon," said Hamlin, rising. At the hotel he parted from them In the loungti. "You'll be leaving be fore I'm out In the morning, I Imag ine, so I'll tell you good-bye here. It's been nl- to meet you both, and somehow," he looked at them both with a qulislcal look "somehow I feel we will all meet again. "Tell you what, Casad, I'll be leav ing for California soon. I'm going up to my shack on the Russian Riv er to work out a play I have In mind." Ha handed him a card with his address on It. "Drive up some week end. Bring Miss Cordon with you." When he had lot Lon and Marian at on a divan speaking ot the eve ning and of Hamlin. uuess to oeiter let you go up tor u,..e rest," Lon said at leugth. "I .ought we mlfhl start about eight .'clock, If you think you'll be raids' U that time. I'vo got a lot to talk to 'h.' handed bei into the elevator. "Goodnight, dear." Marian made a song of It as tbe lift moved swift y up. "A loi to talk to you about," she told tbe girl In tbe mirror. She wasn't sleepy; couldn't be. She'd pak. She did. and when she came to the coral pink knitted dress she decided to try It on again. It was good looking, she thought, with its square shoulders and trim oeck llne . . . and the beige Alpine bat with Us curling feather of coral pink , , . she pulled It over her balr "Not too bad," she said, and chuckled. Still In hat and frock, she sat In a deep chair near tbe window and looked out at a distant bill which held Its whl'.e line clean cut against tbe dark blue of the sky. "A lot to talk about." She knew what It would be and knew her answer. There had been other friends, beaus galore sine she started s 'bool. But Lon was different. Silver. Queer ber Inslatance that Lon pay ber attention. Not queer, for Lon was a "lovable cuss." Any one with half an eye could see that, and Sliver knew men. She wouldn't give up easily . . . but this time she'd have competition, Marian promised ber that She arose, started towards the dressing room and stopped as the telephone rang , , . her editor perhaps. "Ian," came Lon's voice, "guess what I found In my rcom when 1 reached horo." . MARIAN'S heart seemed to fall with a thud. Surely Silver wouldn't dare sucb an unconven tlonal thing. "A white elephant with Ivory tusks," she answered quickly. "A white elephant all right. A note from Mrs. Hoodoo. She hasn't left town and wants to drive down . . . In fact she says she's going to drive down wltb me In the morn ing." Marian's pink tongue dampened suddenly dry lips. "And you," she questioned, "what do you think about that?" "Marian Gordon," said Lon, "I'm surprised at you asking what I think of Mrs. Hondon or anyone else rid ing to the coast with us. Listen to this " be began, reading the note he bad found In bis room: Dear Mr. Cftsnri: 1 didn't leave for Oakland ai I had planned. I rocolved word from the hospital Mint 1 wouldn't he al lowed to Itoe Mr. Hondon for an other twenty-four hour, and ai my pnyaician. wno uvea here al the Mountainside. Initiated the train trip would he too much for me In my orenent nervous atnte. I decided to remain for the night. And so, Mr. Casad, If you're real ly rested. I'll drive down with you In the mornlrut. , thlfik Its Rolnn to be a heavenly day. I've ordered a grand lunch put up for us. fried chicken, potnto snlnd. aandwlchea, coffee and nthel Moulds ... all the things nice he-men like yourself enjoy 1 telephoned your hotel saraxe and lenrnod they wore to have your car ready nt eight o'clock, ao I'U meet you there, a', that time . . . Cheerio. Silver. "Can you beat that?" Lon wn asking. Marian couldn't. She bad listened to the reading of tbe note, feeling with each word that the world she had thought so Joyously golden was rapidly turning Into a drab disap pointing sphere Lon couldn t talk about the things he bad mentioned with Sliver an observant listener. She would Insist upon snuggling close to him, leaving Marian on the outer edge. "Marian, you haven't answered, what do you think of ... of that note?" Marian forcod a laugh. "If I were to tell you what I think, there would be a short circuit on th,e telephone line," she answered. "Good girl. Sny, Inn, are you doad tired!" "I'm not tired at all . . . In fact 1 felt so refreshed after my rest to day anu our party tonight that 1 couldn't sleep, and so I packed for morning." "Ian, would y.m bu game to leave with me right nowT I've all ready checked out ot my hotel and my car Is down In front of your hotol. I'm telephoning from a lobby booth. If you're willing wo'll start and be naif way home before little "Cheerio" keeps her eight o'clock appointment with the garage. How does that sound?" "Heavenly," returned Marian, a singing noto In hor voice. "Have the clerk sond a boy for my bags and I'll be wltb you right away." (CefrritH. I9it, . gntmm) Marian learns a let about Lon, Monday.
