Chapter 14 CLEVER FOE f ARIAN couldn't think clearlr IVi she was too tired, too alck at heart. !3be heard the purr ot a motor, caught the flub of head lights on the windows and, turning over, nettled her bead Into the pillow and feigned sleep. Lon was moodily allent tbe next morning. He kissed her lightly and went off to work with scarcely a irord. Marian did not go to tbe hilltop, but she didn't need to see the car she heard coming to know to whom It belonged. Only one car had such an asthmatic cough, Wakl's. "Mlssa Casad say come up fli him garden," Wakl explained. "Alia same come after say not come alia same say come. I here." , Marian gave an unnecessarily . . auiumoDlla at the curb. A lady with red hair and dreised In m tan and whit aporta ault aave him tha typewritten meaaage and a aub atantlal tip. Said tha oar waa black with ailvcr V hood trim and th:it thera waa a police dot In tha car. Again Marian laid the letter aside. She had worn a tan and white sports suit Lon's csr bad a silver V hood.

Tbey could have Bent this message without tbe trouble of tbe masquerade, but, by producing ber double, tbey mad proof that aba did not send It Ira possible. She read on: I checked the tint n. enact. The relay mentioned by tha operator who talked to you, waa Included In the message, it came from a, pay atatlon at the main atage depot. 1 checked two other ca.Ua from that ame depot into the city.

You've given me enough free publicity in the punt to more than pay for thla. Bealdea I'm Interested, and with your per mission I'll watch thla end. I'll communicate with you through Mister Wakl. Hoping to be of more assistance In the future, 1 am, John King. 1 j 18 pp rsei "Alia same come In postman," Wakl was saying. brilliant smile In response, inter preted, Wakl's message meant that last night ton bsd driven down to do aa she asked and she waa tree of tbe Hottdon gardener. Alia eame come In postman.' Wakl was saying, working mean while to extract a letter from tbe Inside of his sweater. "Come me like you say. See Mlssa O. K. Wakl." Marian nearly snatched tbe en velope from his band. Tbe letter, re layed through the only person she could trust, waa from John King. Ber detective friend. Perhaps In thla waa the evidence she needed to con. Tlnce Lon of McSwaln'a part In her Sacramento trip. She dispatched Wakl to look over tbe grounds r.nd see what was need ed to beautify them, while she bur rled Into the bouse. Two pages ot closely typed words confronted her. Dear Marian : Sorry to aend you thla report but It la the best 1 could do. I'm afraid McSwaln la too clever a man for a girl Ilka you to tight aintcle-handed. I'd advlae you to talk to vour father aa aoon aa possible. 'Now about the talegrama. 1 atarled here, learning the telegram had actually been eent from Sacra inento. The wording follows: To Lionel Casad, Construction Office, Kit Drama High school.

X t ARIAN leaned back In tha chair. Clever, how clever. Of course McSwaln, knowing It was coming and having arranged to have ton leave his car at home for her to use In leaving town, was ready to take him to the hank. She was willing to wager tha he had also accompanied Lon to the vault and ascertained not only that he had found the right let ter, but that he did not have time to road It. McSwaln had risked nothing. He was able to gauge ton's lack ot knowledge ot the letter, by his at titude towards him. it had never changed from respectful admiration. She turned back to the report: Mr operative In Sacramento checked with the Telegraph tlfflce t:iere, learned that MessenKer 20ft had brousht It In and talked to the boy. He aald ha waa hailed from 1 ARIAN folded the letter and put " It back In Ita envelope. She called Wakl In, asked him to take the letter home and put It In a safe place, and then turned halfhearted ly to a pretense of Interest In her garden. Days passed like long grey rib bons slowly rolled onto a apool. Monot nous days do 'old or any blgb lights, ton was sullen. He would come In, touch her cheek with his lips, clean up for dinner, and with tbe new.mper folded t tbe . :s page, go on with blj meal without a wort t her. Olnne; over he would retire to the aecluslon ot a book, and read v.ntll long after she had retired Even the weather became grey. ML Diablo disappeared behind a gauze veil, only the pinnacle pierc ing the fig. The wind blew and dust from the valley swirled about the house. Dowr In tbe orcbatu the pickers were shaking the trees, tbe fruit falling with soft plops outo the mus lin spread beneath, to be packed In trays snd rushed to the drier. Marian made futile geatures to fill the day, canned fruit, pickled wal nuts, made more Jam than tha two ot them would use In a lifetime. And ahe read, read all of the books she had been wanting to read, trying to find momentary release from hei worries. By Friday ahe was roady to de clare a truce. She felt that even the presence ot the Hondon gardener was preferable to thla misunder standing with ton which persisted like the dull ache ot a wound. She made a tew overtures that evening, only to be met with monosyllabic answers from ton The next mornln. gloomy with storm brooding in the hills, be stopped at the doo.. "I'll probably ba late tonight," he said, "don't wait dinner for me. I'll eat with the hoys we're having a little got-togother." Marian nodded, afraid to trust ber voice.
