Chapter 82 LILITH AGAIN MARIAN tn maklcf a aalad when Loq ipoka. Wltb careful band sbe arranged the curled learet of a lettuce heart on the rim of tbe dish, placed wheels of tomatoes Id si circle, centered them with the heart of an artichoke and topped It wltb anchorles. "McSwaln?" she repeated, "I'd ratber not go. Loo." ahe answered as though It were of no great eon earn. "Doctor Al and Anne are com ing out to dinner you know." "That's right," he answered and watched her ladle dressing over tbe aalad. "Al aaya he wanta to bay a place here aa soon aa I get started. You'd like baring Anne for a neigh bor wouldn't you?" "A neighbor?" she looked up. What a blessing a neighbor like Anne would be at a time like thla. "Tea, I'd love to have Anne near, she's se . . o practical," sbe said. "Practical women are nice, but I'd rather hare you tor a wife," was Lon's astonishing answer, then, "Ian," he began In a troubled rolce, "would you mind If I left you alone In tbe morning and played a round of golf? Blaine, Wylle, McSwaln and myself?" "Of .... of course not," sbe an swered, and boped he badn't noticed her hesitation, "I think It would be line." " Vou're a good aport, Ian," he com mented, relief In bis rolce. "So are you Lon," abe answered, "I appreciate your not insisting that I go." During dinner they discussed the prune crop, and Lon agreed to let Wakl take charge, and when tbey bad finished be spoke of tbe neat day, Saturday. "My first pay check. Jan," be said, "tbe first one 1 erer received from anyone excepting Carrdoth. I tblnk we should cele brate, what would you like to dot" "A dlnnjr and dance someplace . . I know, the Alameda, It bas a nice cosmopolitan air; always a lot of foreign arlators around, and a good orchestra," "And you'll wear that gold dress?" "Yes, and have my balr done In the afternoon, and my nails and . . ." "I can cash my pay check wltb Murphy at the gas station before we leave; too bad this Is Doc's Saturday n'.ght on duty, or we'd call tbem to Join us. How about Jackson and bis girl?" Jackson and his girl wero de lighted, and Marian, who had thought ber honeymoon was defi nitely orer, found Lon bis old lor a'lle self as they dined and danced the evening away. IT WAS long after midnight when they reached home, and Marian lid Into bed, bappy that It waa Lon and not herself facing a golf date In the morning. Several times when the aun had found Its way Into tbe bed room she felt she should awaken and hasten him on hla way but she waa too blissfully sleepy. And when he did awaken she found he had gone. At first ahe was alarmed, then chanced to look at the clock on the dressor. It was ten o'clock. Tbe four some waa supposed to tee off at ten. She co'intod tbe hours which lay ahead, a crowded Sunday course would moan that Lon couldn't reach home before two-thirty. The Stcelts would arrire tor dinner at three, giv ing Lon time to shower and change. Afternoon Marian dressed, went Into tbe patio, and curled up on the awing seat, a new novel In her hand. She sat a moment enjoying the quiet In the kitchen fricasseed chickens were bubbling gently In a Dutch oven, salad and dessert were In the refrigerator, regetables, ready to be cooked, reposed In cold water. In one end of the studio room the table was ready tor guests. She thumbed the psges Idly, thought of the piles of books she had read prior to meeting Lon, she had scarcely glanced at once since then The clock Inside chrmed one, one thirty, two, two-thirty. She came back with a start to the world about her, left the book on the seat and hurried Into the kitchen. Iin should be coming; he had the key to tbei store-bouse on bis key ring, and she. wanted some pecana for the nut! bowls. There, the sound of a motor. She looked at Hero. He was standing listening but wltb no sign of recog nizing tbe motor. A moment later the Steele's black coupe came Into rlew. "Wliere'a the bead of tbe bouse?" Inquired Doctor Albert, when the greetings were orer. "He played golf at Diablo this morning. Should have been here by two-tblrty at the latest." A tiny frown creased Marian's forebead. Tbey waited a few moments, and then the doctor suggested be tele phone the club. "Might hare been late getting off," he said, "and one thing a man can't do la desert bis foursome." He called the club bouse and learned the McSwaln crowd bad left promptly at two o'clock. "McSwaln," repeated Anne, "Isn't that Sllrer Hondon's father?" "Yes." answered Marian., She knew Anne was giving ber a search ing look and hastened to explain. "Lon's working for him," and at Steele's wonder at Lon working for anyone but himself, explained that Lon's Inheritance bad been bold up and be bad been obliged to work somewhere. "Speaking of your good frlenda tbe McSwalns and the Hondons," said Anne with gentle sarcasm, "I have some news you might enjoy." MARIAN, positive that the only thins shA wnnlrl Anlnv at that moment was tbe sound of Lon'i wheels, pretended to be Interested. What?" she asked. "Had a letter from Nora Hondon the other day."' "Nora, oh, Cliff Hondon's new wife." "Yes," Anne smiled, "there seems to be a Llllth In ber Garden of Eden." "You don't mean that" "That Silver Hondon hasn't com pletely freed Cliff. According to Nora, sbo's still blooding him. Nora says she Is positive that, now Cliff Is recovering financially, large sums of cold cash are finding tbelr way Into Silver's bank account." Marian's attention waa arrested. She had wondered how Silver main tained her home on such a lavish scale; this might account for It. "I should have thought Cliff would be cured," abe remarked. "No, according to Nora, Cliff Is all. worked up over Silver's magnani mous He, the one that saved hla life. Whenever Nora objects to his writ ing ber or having anything to do with ber, be abuts ber up wltb tbe re mark 'Can't you be generous enough to thank her for forcing me to live?' Nora says Its worried him a lot that he didn't make a more generous set tlement at the time of the divorce." "He's evidently forgotten he hadn't the money to make It with," said Marian. That He. Of course sbe couldn't wish she hadn't told It as lone aa It had saved his life. And ! yet here It was striking at Nora, and at herself. The clock on the mantol chimed three-thirty. "We might as well hare our dinner," murmured Marian, "Lon must hare been detained." "Obviously," declared Steele, "and I'm hungry." The three of them sat down to the table Marian had laid with such care. Anne and her husband ate with relish, Marian toyed with her food. Then th tclophone bell rang. It came as a shock to her.-she'd been listening so Intently tor the sound of a motor, "This Is Sliver speaking," cam the voice across the wises, "Lon la here with us." "Yoa?" Marian made It a question. "He said you wore waiting dinner for him, so I snld I'd call and tell you to go on, aa we're keeping him bere to dine with us." "nut Sllrer," Marian protested, "we haro guests." "The usual outraged wife," com mented Sllrer laughing. "This time It's Just too bad for the guests." Sha clicked the recelrer back on Its hook. Marian had been worried. As Sll rer spoke she was hurt, now sbe was angry. Why couldn't he have tele phoned before be left the clubhouse? Why couldn't he hare returned home? Too good natured. Well, It Sllrer wanted him that badly, and Lon hadn't stamina enough to as sert himself, she could have him and welcome. (Ceeyr'i. Wl, Iv Irene SeemeeJ Lon brsaks a big pises of naws, Monday.

Nov. . & Students and professors alike were splattered with eggs and tomatoes used for ammunition to disrupt meeting Monday of University of Cali fornia students protesting suspension of five University of California at Los Angeles undergraduates for "radi calism." Scuffling developed In the crowd of more than 3000 students, most of them apparently curious bystanders, and several blows were struck. One student was cut over the eye. A girl speaker, Ruth Moore, was splashed by m tulles that struck over her head. She retired weeping. An American lag hoisted on the urn used aa ft rostrum likewise waa splat tered. The classroom strike, planned by leaders of the protest, fizzled with only few pupils leaving at the 10 a.m. deadline.

This same group formed the nucleus of the egg and vegetable artillery. MILK CONTROL ACT SERVICES ATTRACT UPHELD IN N.
