Lon locked the door behind him, "Let's see now," Murphy was duly Impressed by their earnestness, "let's see . . . you drove up. You were at the wheel. I thought you acted sort of queer because you lust missed the pumps and you're usually pretty careful and sure. "You told me to Oil her up, and while 1 was doing that, you and the two men went inside the station, so as you would bare sometbin' solid to endorse your checks on."

Climaxing League of Nations at tempts to halt the war between Boliv ia and Paraguay, five nations of the latin American Peru, Chile, Argen tina, Venezuela and Mexico formally addressed to the belligerents a plea for peace. But almost at the same moment renewed fighting wae re ported to have broken out In th Chaco. In London the naval strategists of three nations continued their strug gle to reach an arms armistice fore stalling the dangers of a competitive race of sea supremacy among the United States, Japan and Great Brit ain. While League sta teamen pondered the problem of patching up some kind kf armistice between conflicting French and Oerman Interests in the Saar (which votes Jan. 13 to remain under League sovereignty, return to Germany or become French!, new charges of Nazi secret police terrorism there were added to the League's worries.

S 'MATTER POP "And you talked honeity to me," McSwaln aneerei.. came into the room, aanlt Into a chair, head In bis bands. Marian waited a few momenta, then knelt down before him. "Lon, dear, don't feel that way; yon didn't do It." "I'm afraid I did, Ian," he whis pered. "1 can't . . . can't remember. ! could bare done anything at a time like that . . . drunk." "But, Lon, you weren't, I know It. Fd awear to It. Didn't Doctor Steole tell you?" "That I'd been drugged? Yea, be did. but he's mistaken. Those boys take their liquids pretty potent and I'm not used to It. I hadn't eaten: It waa late. I'd worked pretty hard and It weut to my head." "But, Lon, a drunken person tol Iowa bis natural Inclinations. There's nothing about you tbaf would imptl you to do a thing like that." "1 don't know about that, either. Ian." be answered, reaching for ber hands ana holding tbem In a tight grip. "I've wanted awfully to make you see I could bold down a man alzed Job, and make you aee you were wrong. Maybe some placa deep down In my subconscious mind I Or ured that bringing borne a lot or money would do It." "Lon, dear, I've never doubted your ability. It wasn't that; It was Just mistrust of McSwaln. Lon, 1 wouldn't put It past McSwaln to have bad those men drug you, then cbsnge checks on you ... no. don't protest; try now to remember tbe pay check as you received It from the paymaster Saturday." LON' S head came up. "I do remem ber." be said suddenly. "Why. of course, I do. McSwaln bad said something about a raise and 1 looked to see, but It waa tbe straight one hundred. I figured he'd been called out of town and hadn't notified the office. Ian. that proves It" "No It doesn't Lon, let's Jump In to tbe car and drive down to see Murphy. He'll be able to help us better than anyone else." Half an hour later they were at the gas station.

When I think ot what that's going to mean . . " hla voice broke and bis head went down between his hands, arms propped on bis knees. "Lon, listen; listen Lon, don't feel that way, you did not raise tbat check, nothing ... no amount ot cir cumstantial evidence, can make me believe IL" "Yes, but the courts won't be aa prejudiced as you are. How can they help believing It when do?" be asked In a strained voice. Marian couldn't answer. Murphy's testimony alone would prove bis guilt. He bad been drinking. He came In, cashed bis check, disap peared to return Incapable ot driv ing bla own car. "Let's not worry about the courts, if you return the money to McSwaln ! he'll have no reason for prosecuting. I'm going to fix you a hot malted milk and tben you go to bed and try to sleep. You're going to need strength tomorrow morning and you must have some rest. You're still weak from Saturday night." He submitted to her ministra tions In the docile manner of a sick child, allowed ber to tuck him Into bed. Tben, as sbe sat on the edg of tbe bed stroking his head, hi relaxed, responding unknowingly to the sedative she had slipped Into the milk. Satisfied be waa asleep, Marias took Hero and went to the hill Stara scintillated over head as though tbey bad been washed and polished by tbe week end storm Diablo reared Its placid bulk against tbe mosaic pattern they made In thi night sky. There was an answer to Loo's trouble. Marian knew It . . . per haps If sbe could brush the cobwebs of worry from her mind and think clearly II would come to her. She must separate Lon from herself In her mind. (CrlfuH. '".
