Alortan, the evidence neceaeary to prove the Ucfiwain machination. Lon haa at hat been mail to eee hie dinger ; alarian haa determined that the only man who ean lurntah tho additional evidence neceeearv to convict UcSwain ia Uaa Ham lin, and haa alipped ouoy from lie hicaln'a aptea to meet Bamltn. Chapter 42 DISTURBED RENDEZ VOUS TpHE Steels apartment wss dark. Marian hado't expected that. After a moment she called the man as'". "Of course, you can to In. Mitt Marian." ba ald. "I know Mra. Steel would want you to." That waa eren better, Marian de cided, and a toon aa they bad An llhed gossiping about tenant: he bad known wben sha lived there she hurried to tbe telephone and called the Oakmere. "Mr. Hamlin?" Marian felt a aense of relief from her nervoua ten alon In the calm, easy tone of bis voice. "I'll be right over," be assured her. While Marian waited for him, the went Into the little mirrored cubicle, and assumed the privileges of an old friend. She brushed her hair rigorously, then patted It Into smooth wavea, powdered her nose, dabbed, at ber lips, straightened the frock she wore, looked down In surprise to find It tbe lilac angora aba bad worn the night ah flew to Reno. She had grabbed at tha first warm drese In ber wardrobe, scarcely realizing what she chose. And then she beard tbe buzzer. She waited at the door for Ham lin to come, up, saw him atep from the elevator and walk down the hall towarda ber and for tb Brat time realized what a handsome man he waa. Soma of tha wonder of It waa In her eyes aa she greeted him. She bad been ao blinded by her lore of Lon, In Reno, thai aba had scarce ly seen Hamlin. - "It's nice to see you again," he said In greeting, gripping ber band in a firm claap, "even If you did bave to wait until you wer In troubis to call on me." "That wasn't nice of me, waa It," agreed Marian, "I really would Ilka to have aeen yon before but" "1 know," b said, "your husband sensed tba admiration 1 bad tor you, and didn't want to put me to a test." Marian's cheeks flushed scarlet. "1 I really didn't know. ... I think you're being kind." "Don't feel badly about It, I don't. But you see. Miss Marian, or Mrs. Cased, I should say, on rarely meets a girl nowadays with aucb a fin sense of honor." "That's just It," Marian Interposed eagerly, "I've lost that sense of honor. I Intend to be tboroughly dis honorable, and 1 want you to help me. I have to convince Cliff Hondoo that It was my II that saved his Ufa. and not Sliver." "And I suppose you're doing that Just to throw a little glory on your self." be suggested whimsically. "N TO, oh no," and then realizing b waa laughing kindly, abe added, "It's for someone else. It seems to be tor many people, but to be bonest It Is for my husband." "Haa Silver carried out her threat to win him away from youT" he asked, Interested. "Did you know about that?" she asked In surprise. "Ob yes, she confided In m. Told ma h waa tb only man sh could ever love. I told ber that was be cause he was probably the only man she'd ever wanted and coutdn't have." "But It Isn't that," Marian In sisted. "I wouldn't light to try to hold a man's lor. It's mora serious, oh so much more serious. "Mr. Hamlin, did you realise there waa one pags of tb letter that I be lieve you slipped Into my pocket, that w didn't read, that evening t" "No I didn't, what did It contalnt" "Evidence that would have put Silver's father, Mr. McSwain, In the penitentiary." "You say, 'would bav.' Did you lose the letter?" "It was stolen from me, and tbe only way I can replace tbe evidence Is through CI Iff Hondon and until he knows b doesn't ow bis life to 811 rer, he won't talk." "That should be asy to do, I mean convince Mr. Hondon that b Is wrong. Can wa call him her?" "No, be is In the Islands and my time la limited." "Limited?" "McSwain la trying to strike at me through my husband. Walt . . . there'a the buzzer." Marian lifted a band for silence and listened. Th buzzer gave tb cod signal th Casads and Steal bad adopted, three short and on long ring. Ann must bav noticed the light, perhaps she bad forgotten ber key. Sh raleased tha ball door, then stood at the apartment door waiting tor tb elevator. Sh would bav to explain Hamlin's presence. Tbe elevator clanged to a stop and from It stepped Lon Cased. In two strides be bad reached ber, draws ber into hi arms, "Had m wor ried," he waa saying, "thought you might be coming her to see Doc." He stopped. He was looking over ber shoulder, Into tbe room where Hamlin atood waiting. "Oh." He dropped bis arms, then said to Marian, "I see you didn't need tb address." "Lon," Marian looked with plead ing at ber husband, "don't jump to conclualons." "1 asked Mra. Caaad to meet m In some convenient place to discuss a bualness matter," Hamlin said in an easy manner. "I hope you don't object" "It probably wouldn't matter It 1 did," ' ia returned ungraciously, then tc Marian, "I thought you didn't want to com Into town." "I didn't when you asked ma, but I ... 1 learned later that Mr. Ham lin was her and I wanted to talk to blm." "At least It seems to be mutual," Lon said, then laughing, "been play ing the tables lately, Mr. Hamlin?" "No," answered Hamlin bewil dered. "I didn't Imaglna you wer. you'd be losing, you know. Vou said In Reno you only won wben you wer unlucky In love." "T IONBL CASAD," Marlan'a tern- per had flashed Into action, "you act like a silly school boy. Mr. Hamlin la ready to do us both a great service and you're trying to Insult him." She losed tb ball door and turned to face tba two man. "Now alt down and let's talk tbts over. No." to Mr. Hamlin. "I haven't been able to discuss It with Lon. Walt" aa abe heard a noise in tbe hall. Sh went to tha door, opened It and stepped back. Silver Hondon was there. ."I didn't know you Intended spend ing the evening." ah began, then, seeing Marian, aha added, "well, well, so you're the reason he bad to 'drop in here for a minute'. . . and. If It Isn't old Max Hfimlln In per son. Well Maxle, I didn't know you were In town." "Neither did 1," Lon blurted. "Oh oh," murmured Sliver In a laughing tone. "Well Max. aa I told you In Reno, you can bare the gal If you really want her . . . come on. Lon, lat'a .-amble." "Come on. Marian, we're starting horn." Marian gara Hamlin a despairing look. What on eartb could aba do In such a situation? It ah stayed after what Slirer bad said. Lon would never forgive ber. If aba left wltb him, how and when would aha be able to reach Hamlin? Besides she couldn't leave him In Anne's rpartmenL Hamlin sensed the situation and tha aardonlc gleam In bis dark eyea deepened. "Run along, children," be said. "and, by the way, Silver, as I said to you In Reno, you can't have that man no matter how much you want him, while he has a wlfa Ilk this one. "Is that so," flashed Sliver, and flounced from the room In anger, linking her arm In Lon's and drag ging him with ber. Hamlin took thla opportunity ot speaking to Marian. "I'll get In touch wltb you," he promised, and added, "don't worry." Lon and Silver waited tor Marian In tba hall, and wben she Joined them the three went silently down to th car. And a good time waa had by all," laughed Silver, as Lon helped ber Into th car first. Marian said nothing. Sh sat on tba outside, ber mind a chaotlo whirlwind of worry, jealousy and anger. Sh turned one to wave at Hamlin, who had followed her from tha apartment, then turning back, was conscious that Sliver was snug gling close to Lon. tCHVtlH.
