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."

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.

thur Plnero, 79, famous playwright,

father's office but gave that up at
the age of 19 to enter the theater,
appearing first as an actor at the
