PAGE FOURTEEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1934. E-8 M ananvjrori bv JEAXXE UOWMAX Gordon Chapter 47 SILVER'S OFFER ARIAN'S chin cam up In a characteristic gesture. "You needn't mention any condition!. I don't barter for men. It be lores too, jau can bare him, I don't want the jdlvlded lore of any man." Sllrer stood looking at her a mo ment as though some preconcelred plan had been changed "rerr high and mighty aren't rou," she chal lenged, "I suppose you think jron oan win Hamlin." Marian didn't answer and nor si ilence seemed to Infuriate Silver. ; "Want them both, don't you. Well maybe you'll condescend to bargain 'for Loo's freedom. Be Is under ar rest at the city jail." J "I know It," remarked Marian ! calmly. "You know How J" Dashed 'Silver. Marian's mind, alert with fear, prorlded ready words. "I was talk ing to Bowen, the managing editor jot The Dispatch, when you came In. He told me." ' "Did he tell you where Lon was ; found and what he was doing?" ' "No." "He was In my father's offlce rob 'blng his safe. One of the cleaning a omen saw blm force his way in, and telephoned Dad." "I thought your father was sup posed to be in Northern California." "Not after what I saw last night 'Foxy, weren't youT Thought you were going to talk Hamlin Into go ing to Cliff and discredit me so he'd come across with the Information you lost In that letter." Marian didn't answer. "Well, can't you talkT What did you think of the way I snaked that letter from you?" Marian smiled. "Clerer," she con ceded, "I'd like to hare thought of something as smart, myself." Silrer relaxed. "If you'll look at things that way, we'll get along all TiKht." "Suppose you tell me what you want?" suggested Marian. She bad realised suddenly tbat all she had to do was to keep Silrer talking until the District Attorney appeared. "That night you came to see me In Nevada, aud telephoned that lie to Cliff, I thought you had played me a low trick. :t turned out otherwise. It made me solid with him. He's mak ing money now; money like bis father made and left to him. That elmnty Irish girl he married doesn't need much. She wouldn't know what to do with It It she hsd It, so he's Riving me the allowance, call It ali mony If you will, that he should have settled on me. "If you go to blm In an effort to break my father, he'll know the truth and my Income will atop. I don't want to marry that stuffed toad, Blaine Kelly, but I'll hare to If that happens." "Tou would be thinking of your self instead of your father's dis grace," Marian Interposed. "You bet I would," agreed Silrer. "I'd do what anyone else wculd do. Don't pretend you're doing anything now but thinking of yourself, or how this proposition of mine Is going to affect you." ".Me or mine," Marian conceded ortly. "Mine," said Silrer with a sneer, "still calling Lon yours. He Isn't. ;lo you want bear this proposi tion, or nec.f ' "It doesn't matter." "Oh doesn't It? Well, you lend an r anyway. Now here's what I want you to do." "I C 6 CAN listen much better If I'm Ittlng down," suggested Marian amiably. "You'll find clgarets In that copper box to the left of the dlran." Silver looked at her a moment, then laughed. "Ian," she said, "I didn't think you had It in you. All right," she went to the divan, lipped out of her wrap, chose a clga rct, lighted It with deliberation, then loaned towards Marian. "Queer Isn't It, the way our Urea have run along together. Remember tlie first day you came to school? You were ugly, skinny, freckled, lanky" she Inhaled and In the si lence of that moment .Marian beard Hero snlfllng along the lower crack of the door. "And you were beautiful." con ceded Marian gcnorouely. "I was just thinking when you came In that you had worn a black velvet dress list day." She noticed Silver had placed the revolver beside her on the rilvun and It was slowly sliding to ghe edge of the cushion. t "You're not hard to look at now," Silver continued, "but this Un't get ting down to business. ' "That night you came up to Ne vada on a news story, you stepped In and made my affairs your own. I was ready to bank on yonr honor. I showed you the letter Cliff had writ ten me in order to convince you that; I bad a right to feel bitter towards, him. I was sure you wouldnt use It in your newspaper, but I didn't ex-j pect you to steal It." "I didn't steal It," Interposed Ma rian, and because she didn't wish to implicate Hamlin she gars another, explanation. "It was put Into my pocket by someone who evidently thought It the same wad of notes I' had used on the Brown brlbory case. Lon brought them up with blm be-. cause I bad left them in his car when I left the court house early that evening." "Tbat makes a good story," agreed Silver, "but If you were so' honorable, bow did It chance that you took the trouble to go over the letter s second time and discover' that page?" "1 chanced to reach Into my pocket for change to tip a porter, found the notes, or what I thought were notes, decided to check them and dispose, of the paper. In the bright light of; the desk lamp I caught the name Maddern Construction Company at the top of the pad. I had spent the previous eight days covering the Brown trial and the name was too fresh In my memory to let me pass It by without closer Inspection.: When I found the title, J. C. Mc-: Swaln, general manager, just be neath I wanted to know more. And then I found the page you had over looked. I had every Intention of re turning the letter to you but you ran out on me after you arrived In town. If you'll remember. I tried to find your address the next day and didn't succeed so I placed the letter In the safe deposit box." "And then used it to threaten my father," offered Silver. "That's where you slipped up." "I admit It," returned Marian rue fully, and wondered If the D.A. would ever arrive. What was going on at the city jail that would take him all of this time? She glanced at the clock. It was nearly midnight : "As I said bofore, you forced your, self Into my affairs. I've put up wiyt It too long, now I Intend to force you out I "TAN, Lon Is down In the city jnlL held on a charge of robbery. That means a long term In San Quentin, for we bare the proof. He was caught in the act of rifling the safe. We have good circumstantial evidence that he had reasons tor doing this. Ho raised a pay check and Dad kept that check to make him behave. "Now it you'll listen to reason, I can telephone Dad and have Lon back here, free." , "How?" "Dad can ssy he sent Lon down there after Important papers, and forgot to give blm the combination,' or had given him the combination . . , that part doesn't matter. It's up to him to swear to the charge." "Hasn't he already done so?" Marian asked with sudden Interest "No, they are waiting for him down there and he's waiting for ma to telephone him your decision." "My decision on what?" "This. The future of the Hondons and the McSwatns depends upon you. Without the information Cliff holds you can't prosecute father. Cliff won't gire that information un less you go to him and tell the truth of what happened that night In Nevada and at the hospital. "I want you to sit down and write a lotter to Cliff. I want you to tell him that you have been doing some thing you regret because you were Jealous of me. I want you to tell him that your husband fell In love with me and In an effort to discredit me, you began spreading a story which a rejected suitor of mine. Max Ham lin, had put you up to; that It was you and not me, who had sent that message, to the hospital. "I want you to tell him to believe no one who approaches him with this story, that you are sorry you did It' That I sent your husband back to you and you're trying to repay me for my kindness by retracting the story ... the He you told." But supposing," .Marian contin ued, "we have talked to the author ities and they intend starting an In vestigation of the East Braios school." "You baren't," said Silrer with as surance, "we have hsd you both watched since the moment you let father know you had that letter. J an give yon a datalled account ol evory move you've made." fCVfl"'". Ml, h Iff W.trmm) CORVALLIS (erpl.l This Is a story exclusively for the newer crop of homemakers those who have yet to oook their first Thanksgiving tur key, successfully. Women who have been roasting turkeys "ever since" would not be Interested In the de tailed directions given here, and would probably scoff at the notion that there might be new "tricks" in such an old American custom. For Mrs. New Homemaker, how ever, here are the complete direc tions, with alt the wrinkles, prepared by Miss Lucy Case, home economics extension specialist at Oregon State college. First, select a plump, well-fattened turkey. A young bird has a more flexible breast bone, softer, smoother legs and feet, pin feathers, few hairs, and short, sharp claws. About Thanksgiving time young toma weigh la to 16 pounds and old ones lfl to 30 pounds, while young hens weigh 7 to 13 pounds and old ones 10 to IS pounds. Scrub the outside of the bird with a wet cloth and a little soda, soap or cornmeal and rinse under run ning water. Wipe out the Inside with a wet cloth. Soaking causes tough ness. Rub the Inside lightly with salt and fill the body cavity and loose skin at the base of the heck with a dressing, seasoned with a little onion, sago an4 chopped cel ery. Tuck the legs under the bana of skin near the tall and fasten the opening with safety pins, or by sticking toothpicks across It through both flaps of akin and then lacing atrlng across the toothpicks as a man's shoe Is laced. Cut off wing tips and moat of neck and save for soup. Fold the neck akin toward the back and fasten down. Slip the wing ends behind the shoulder blades snct tie them back If necessary. Rub the stuffed, trussed turkey all over with salt, butter and flour Ley a piece of turkey fat or salt pork over the breast, and place on a rack In an open roasting pan, without water. Have the oven hot, about 450 degrees, F, -for half an hour, turning once to brown all over. Then reduce the heat to mod erate, about 350 degrees F. Baste every half hour with turkey fat and butter. Roaat a young bird uncovered about 16 minutes to the pound, or about three hours for a 10 to 12 pound turkey. Cover an older bird after browning and roaat about hours for a 14-pound turkey. To test for "donenesa," run a long-tlned fork or a akewer Into the thigh next to breast. If the Juice has 'a red shade, cook longer. Remove fasten ings before serving. I NEIGHBORH SALEM, Nov. 23. (AP) Public Utilities Commissioner Charles M. ; Thoma yesterday revoked the permit' of the National Bus Lines, Inc.. ol Los Angeles, Issued last August, to operate as a. common carrier o( pas sengers in interstate service between the Oregon-Washington and Oregon- j California state lines. j .

Coast Trans portation company, the Independent State Stage company, the Oregon Mo tor Stages, the Oregon Bus associa tion and the United Stages system. The protest was based on the claim ; that the national bus lines was not registered with the president's motor bus code authority, and the permit was revoked on that count.
