PAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1934. ludilh Lane Marian Gordon by JEAAAE UOWMAX Chapter 48 UNEXPECTED INTRUDER "TVHAT are you trying to tell ' meV" asked Marian ot the Dis trict Attorney. "Why should you worry whether l'ye got the house locked tlghtT" "I don't know of any special dan ger," he answered with a laugh. "1 only want to pacify this young hus band of youra. Now listen, child pack your bag and be ready for me. I'm coming right out to bring you back to town." "Lon Is hurt, Isn't he? Don't lie to me please, I won't faint or do any thing foolish." "No, Lon Isn't hurt. I'll tell you what's wrong, because if 1 don't some of your newspaper friends will. Lon Is in jail. Now don't get panicky, it's the safest place be can be at a moment like this." "On the check charge!" she aaked. "No, he was caught robbing Mc Swaln'a safe. In the Clark building." "Lon . , . robbing?". Marian ex claimed incredulously. "And don't worry about that either," came the laughing reply. I night we were sending message band." "Swell, Don't forget the Dispatch even If you're not working for It any more." "Never mind," aald Marian, "I'll save the break on the yarn for yon." She felt confldent that the District Attorney was withholding some thing pleasant from bee, because ot his manner. And the only pleasant newa she could consider was Mc Swain's pending arrest. "But, Ian," Bowen was protesting, "give me a lead, don't leave me " Marian was looking at Hero. He was at the front door growling. That meant atrange footsteps. The Dis trict Attorney bad evidently made good time. "I'll see you In town and explain," she said hurriedly, "the D. A.'s at the door now." Sbe hung up and raced to the door, drew the chain bolt and swung the door wide, then stepped back Into the room. Silver Hondon stood there, followed her In and closed the door behind her. "Grab that dog," she ordered. Marian made a lunge to hook her hand Into Hero's harneBS. He was pulling forward, teeth bared. "Get him out of my way before I kill him." "I've come ts bargain with you," Silver declared. "Hun along now. Don't bother about unlocking the gate. I'll walk up to the bouse." Marian turned from the telephone and hurried to the bedroom. It should take her friend about half an hour to drive out from town. Lon In jail. Curious that she should feel re lieved. The Idea of her Lon's rob bing a safe was preposterous. How had McSwaln managed to frame him In a position like that? At least tha blow bad fallen. Now they could act. There would be no mora ot this suspense, so more of that agonized waiting for something to happen. Hero watched her bring out ber bag and fold clothes Into It. She didn't know whlcb clothes she packed. He marched to the closet Mid returned with his leash. "All right, old man," she said pat ting l.im, "you are going too; going for a rids In the automobile," she explained. HE pranced about Joyously, fol lowing her, getting under ber feet as she went from room to room ' seeing that everything was In order, turning off the refrigerator, seeing that she had turned the electricity off In the warming oven; returning to make sure she hadn't made a mistake. The telephone again. She hurried back. It was Bowen, her old manag ing editor. "Say, Ian," he began, "what's this wild yarn they're phoning over from beadquartera, something about your husband being locked up for robbery? Is the fellow they have over there really your husband?" "1 Imagine he la, the D. A. ust telephoned and broke the news to me." "You don't sound the least bit downhearted," Bowen commented. "I'm not," she confessed, "I've been expecting so much worse to happen that this sounds like a re prieve." "You mean you . , . you expected him to do this? Marian, what's It all about?" "The biggest story you've had In a long time," she prophesied. "It's the story we were working for the BIRTHDAY BALL FOR ROOSEVELT 10 DENTISTS GATHER E NEXT F All dentist of the southern Oregon district will attend an all-day meet ing In Medford, Friday, November 33 The meeting Is one of a series be ing conducted by the Oregon State Dental association, as part of an ex tensive program to send leaders in the various branches of dentistry into all sections of the state, giving Io:al dentists an opportunity of benefit V them.
