PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORU, OREGON, SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 25, 1934. p T fl Jl I tl of b 1 tt, t Pi hi te nf til P Marian Gordon I by JKA.XXB HOn.U.lX FIGHT -FXCEPTINQ the night I met -I- Hamlin." Marian Interposed with a wry laugh, "and of course 1 realized I waa being watched; 10 I didn't try anything." "Then you'll do this?" Silver arose and looked around the room. "Where do you keep your writing materials?" "Ton should know," retorted Ma rian, also arising, "you went through this house thoroughly, didn't you?" ' Silver Hashed her a quick smile, walked across the room and Into the bedroom. She returned with paper, pen and Ink and motioned Marian to start writing. ; But Marian didn't move. ! "I'd advise you to hurry," ordered Sliver In a hard, dry voice, . "And If 1 don't?" questioned Ma rian, sparring for time, trying to hear above their voices the sound of an approaching motor which didn't come. "You will," again the hard assured voice. "You're not going to take a chance on Lon's spending years in the penitentiary while you dry up Into a scrawny, freckled old woman like your mother." Marian felt a flush of red creep up from her neck to her cheeks. "If Lon goes to the penitentiary be won't go alone," she warned, "not while I live." "You," cried Silver, bltlngly, "what do you think you could do?" "Plenty," retorted Marian. "I could go to court and prove that Lon was not drunk the night he was sup posed to have raised that check, but drugged. I could put the doctor who attended him that night on the stand. I could have Murphy, the gas station man, tell of bis condition when he came In to cash the check and bow the three of them, Lon and your father's two henchmen, went Into a huddle, ao that Lon, dazed with the drug, wouldn't know when one of the henchmen changed checka on him, substituting one ready for additional figures to be made by Lon's fountain pen which be borrowed.". Silver's eyes bad dilated until they looked like jet black pools. "And you think Lon, loving me, would let yon do this?" - "Lon doesn't lova you," replied Marian with scorn. "If he had, would he have called me at two In the morning to escape you In Nevada? Would he have come to my apart ment to show me the wire you sent and beg me to come along? Would he have laughed and called you 'Miss Cberrlo' and 'Miss Hopeful'?" "Yes, but since then." Silver was angry; ridicule of her belief that Lon cared for her burned more deeply than any other factor. "Since then," Marian continued, "he's played up to you for a purpose and forewarned me of bla Inten tions." ' "He did, did he ?" Silver was trem bling with anger. "And I tried to save him " "He doesn't need to be saved by you." "Then you think you'll go on with your plan to ruin me and my father?" "I will," returned Marian. "H no you won't," countered 811 ver. She glanced toward the divan and Marian fullowlng her gaze saw the silver handle of the re volver protruding from among the cushions. "Oh, no," continued Sliver, ' If you re not here to testify, there won't be any wrecking of the Hon dons and the McSwalns." "You wouldn't dare," Marian de clared, "your fingerprints are on that gun." "There are ways of removing them. . . ." Silver was making a istealthy way towards the divan, !"easy enough to make it look like suicide . . . reasons , . , disgrace of your husbsnd." "8llver," warned Marian, and then as the other woman made a sudden 'dash for the divan she scresmed. Fsst on her scream came the crash of a door, a tumbling chair and Hero hurled his huge body through the room, teeth bared, tralght at Sliver. Paralyzed with terror, Marian watched aa the dog cleared every thing between them. Silver wheel ing, gun In band to meet blm. "Guard." screamed Marian, as she saw the white tusks burrow Into the left arm Sliver bad thrown up In terror. "Guard." she repeated. Reluctantly the dog obeyed. Pant ing, quivering, he straddled (he prostrate form of Silver, bead bung low, bis hot breath playing on Sil ver's be re arm. Crawling, then stumbling. Marian retrieved the gun, held It, then "Release," she ordered. The dog looked at her. "Release," she snap ped and slowly he backed away. "Get him out of here," Silver begged, "he'll kill me. He hates me . . he'll" "Shut up, or I won't be able to handle blm," Marian ordered, "and thank your lucky stars he's police trained or I couldn't have called blm off." Backing, she called Hero to her :lde, ordered him into the bedroom and closed the door securely. "Now get up." Silver sat up dlcieveled "l wasn't going to hurt you," she in-' slsted, breathlessly, "just . , , Just frighten you. Thought I could force you to write that . . . that note." "I'm not a mind reader," Marian replied, "and after what your father ordered the Kanaka boy to do to the Wakls I wouldn't put anything past you." Slowly Silver arose, went to the divan and sank Into It "Now what?" she asked in the docile manner which had followed her storm that night In Nevada. "I don't know," Marian answered honestly, "I'm waiting for the Dis trict Attorney, be telephoned that he was coming out after me. 1 don't know what has detained him." "Are you . . . you going to tell blm that I ..." ' "Threatened to kill me?" asked Marian, and thought a moment. "No," she answered, "because I don't honestly believe you would have done that" SHE sat a moment thinking, then spoke again, "Silver, now I'm go ing to bargain. Why don't you marry Blaine Kelly? Your beauty Isn't go ing to last forever, right now you look forty. Instead of thirty." "Do I, Ian?" There waa lncred uloua fright In Sliver's voice. "Go look In the mirror over the mantel and see for yourself." "And you won't prosecute father?" Marian looked at her sadly. "I won't. Silver, but It's out of my hands." "What do you mean?" "I offered your father a chance to play straight He answered by drug ging my husband and framing him with a raised check. I went to the District Attorney and told blm everything I knew ... so you see even had you used that gun. It wouldn't have checked an Investigation." "And now what?" asked Silver. wearily. "I . . . wait, there's a car coming now, we'll both know shortly." Marian went to the door and waited for the footsteps and voices which soon sounded In the patio. She opened the door and the first to enter was her father. "You little idiot," waa his greet ing, "why didn't you send tor me . . . what's that gun for . . . Isn't thst Sliver Hondon?" Marian looked at the gun In her hand atupldly, "I was Just . . . just holding It In case anything " What's that chair turned over for , and that end table. It looks to me like there'd been a fight in here." 'There was." Marian answered. and looked at Silver. "Hero, our dog, doesn't like Silver. I thought I had him blocked off in the kitchen and he ... he evidently didn't like the Idea and crashed the door and made for Silver, I grabbed this in case I couldn't call him off." Silver smiled, then slowly she arose and faced Mr. Gordon. "Your daughter la the most accomplished liar I've ever met," she said. "What do you mean?" began the elder Gordon. "She told a magnificent lie to get me out of one scrape. And now this. The reason the dog crashed through after me was because 1 used that gun, threatening to kill her If ehe wouldn't do what I wanted her to do. She screamed and the dog came in. I tried to kill the dog but she grab bed my arm and the run went wild. Then she called the dog off." "But she didn't really mean It, Dad," Marian hastened, "she was only trying to frighten me, you won't do anything about It, will you?" "No," answered Mr. Gordon, "If she's game enough to admit the truth, we'll let her off. Mrs. Hondon, I believe your car Is down in the lower driveway; do you feel strong enough to drive on home alone?" "Yes, why?" "I believe your mother Is going U need you."

I MACHINES BUILT Nucleus of Vast Industrial Field Established by Russ Soviet Union at Krama torsk Now in Operation KRAMATORSK, U SB R. (UP) One of the most Important parts of the vast Industrial structure being built by the Soviet union, the Stalin Kramatorsk Machine building plant, has Just been officially opened here. This plant occupies a fundamental position In Soviet Industry, for here are being built the machines for hundreds of other factories produc ing everything from lace to locomo tives. Its vastness may be Judged from the fact that It has 13 depart ments, occupies 400 acres and em ploys 15,000 workers snd 1,377 tech nicians. When the Soviet regime was ex periencing the first flush of success of building up Industry, the mis take was made of opening plants officially long before they were ready to function. Embarrassment often followed. But this mistake was avoid ed at Kramatorsk. Actually this plant began production last year. But of ficials waited until It was function ing well In every respect before bringing on bands, banners a-nd speeches. The present plant Is a nucleus of what will be an even larger Indus trial center. When all the factories are completed It will manufacture every year: six blast furnaces, 30 open hearth furnaces,' three bloom ing mills, 16 other types of rolling mills, and many other types of heavy machinery. Huge Steel Foundrr The steel foundry Is one of the largest departments of the factory. It occupies 25 acres of floor space and haa a capacity of 43.000 tons of castings. This may be compared with a capacity of 25,000 tons of the Ural Machine building plant, previously the largest In the Soviet union, and 24.000 tons for the famous Krupp plant at Essen. Germany. The plant Includes two cast Iron foundries. One Is for casting parts up to 100 tons, the other for small er castings up to one-half ton. These two foundries occupy 39,000 square meters of, floor space. LONDON. Nov. 34. (AP) Sir Ar thur Plnero, 79, famous playwright, died Friday In a nursing home fol lowing an operation.
