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.

EGGS, TOMATOES
HURLED AT MEET
ON U. C. CAMPUS
BERKELEY, Calif.. 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. The trouble com
menced as the meeting, facing ft
campus ban because It was unsched
uled, moved outside of Bather gate,
campus entrance.
Placards denouncing the U. C. L. A.
action and "fascism" on the Berke
ley campus were torn from protestors
hands and destroyed by men Identi
fied by onlookers principally as ath
letes. This same group formed the
nucleus of the egg and vegetable
artillery.
