Lane j Marian Gordon bv JEAXXK BOIKV.I.V Chapter 4 NEW DAY DAWNS f ARIAN waited, restlessly for bis return. "Dad, hare you seen LonV tae begged aa be came In. "Yes, fine lad tbat buabasd of yours. Game aa tbej make them," I "la be ... la be atill In ... in Jail T" "No, be haan't been In jail alnce ten o'clock, I wired bla ball down to blm and tba District Attorney waa waiting to take blm down to nil of See aa aoon aa tbat arrived. He bad a little conference on there tbat kept blm from coming out here. I chartered a plane and flew down, and the minute I landed be lent me out here after you. Ready to go on In?" "Just wait until I get my bat and coat. And, Dad, we can take Hero, can't we?" "You bet we can; ha uled t'o go flatting with me and Lon, you re member . . . hello old fellow, atll! kind of abaky, aren t you! Hero ibowed him leant attention Growling deep In bla throat he made a round of tbe room and atood be fore the door. "Go for a ride In the automobile?' auggested Marian. "Go And your leash." , Hla attention distracted, he went for bis leash, but not in hla former Joyous mannor. He walked sedate ly, and as they went down hill to the car In which Gordon had driven from town, he circled her constant ly, as It atlll Intent upon guarding her from unseen enemies, ,. "Dad," said Marian, aa they start- ed off, "you said Mra. McSwaln waa going to need Sllrer. What did you mean?" "McSwaln Just did wha't ha forced hla son-in-law to do, only he made a thorough job of It. He'a dead." Marian atared at the bill they were aacendlng, atarod at the mil lions of lights below, as they topped the grade and skirted the sky-line boulevard, then dipped down-on the other side. "How did it happen. Dad?" she asked at length. "I don't know, Ian," he answered. "We cam out by tbe way of Dublin canyon. There was another car with ns, with aome of the District Attor ney's men In It going after McSwaln. At the cross roada we met aome aer- ranta whose car had broken down going some place for Sliver. They re fused to tell where, nut they told 01 McSwaln had received a ' tele phone message and had then gone Into the garden ... a summer house, 1 believe and ... finished off." That summer house. With Diablo looming up behind It, undisturbed In Its tranquillity. . A for momenta later they: were driving up before the court house. Marian hadn't seen It since the Brown bribery trial. She blinked her ayes aa they came in from tbe dark ness outside, then stared In sur prise. Seated about the big room were friends and strangers. Hamlin, Cliff Hondon, Nora Hondon, Anne and Doctor Steele, William Brown, a tew itrang men, and Lon. Marian went straight to Lon, re strained an almost overwhelming desire to throw her arma about him and cry. but aatlstted herself with sitting beild blm, hli arm about her, one band gripping hera'tlghtly. "t V'E waited for you, Marian," the ' District Attorney laid In greet ing. "Thought you'd like to hear the whole itory." "I I would," she faltered, then, "Will Lon have to go to trial?" "No," her friend answered. "Thore's no one to charge him." "nut, Lon, what were you doing In Miater McSwaln'a office?" she begged. "Digging up black and white proof of the material he waa using In the construction of the school. I figured I'd have to take a chance on robbing him before be lent me to tbe pen and 1 couldn't stand by and let that building go on the way It waa go ing." Marian looked at Clifford Hon don. "When did you arrive In town?" ho questioned. "Yeiterday. Came in on the Ma lola, docked at noon and found half the east bay waiting for me." "The reason I didn't call you, Hamlin Interposed, "wss because I went back to the Steele apartment I remembered tbat on our way Into Reno that day you bad talked aboul your room-mate Anna and her nance1, a Doctor Steele. I figured these were the same people. "I told them about our Interrupted Interview, said I wanted to bolp you and didn't l now bow, and Doctor Steele told me tho facta that Mr. Caiad had eonfiJcl to him." "That's waorr you went thai night," Marian said, turning to blm. "Yes, I wanted to talk to someone I could trust who wouldn't be preju diced one way or the other." . "After what they told me," Ham lin continued, "I figured I'd better check out, and atart tor Honolulu to see Mr. Hondon, -personally. 1 crossed the bay and the next morn ing I chanced to read in the morning paper a list of passengers on the boat duo In, and found Hondon'a name there, ao I went down to meet him." ' "But how did you happen to be coming to the States?" Marian asked Hondon. ; "I came because the District At torney cabled me to." "Well," tbe Dlatrlct Attorney took up tbe tale, "In the meantime, I had bad my office check up on the two men with whom your husband had been out the night the check was cashed. I brought them In. They con fessed they had switched checks on Mr, Casad, at McSwaln'a orders." "We couldn't a done different," broke In a husky voice, "he bad It on us, it waa that or taking a trip to the Island." "I believe that," said the District Attorney, "but I still can't aee wby you'd let him place another man In the same position." They talked amongst themselves tor a few minutes, then left tbe court house for home some time later, the faint grey of a new day tinging the sky above them. Marian and Lon and Mr. Gordon drove out to Lonlan Lodge, but while Mr. Gor don waa ready to rest tbe moment he arrived, tbe two younger people were restless. "Put on a heavy coat and let'a go to the hill top," suggested Lon. With rugs over their arms, they walked out to watch the day break, Hero stretched out beside them, his nose nuzzled into Marian's tree hand. ,'TpHEY talked for many momenta x over what had happened In the past, why she had acted aa she bad, wby he had acted aa he had. Marian told Lon a little of what had hap pened at the lodge that night. She told him because she wanted Hero to receive full credit. And then silently they sat and watched a golden line creep along the horizon, edge the pyramid of Mount Dlahlo's peak, then break Into golden glory over the valley. Guess we'd better go back to the bouse," Lon suggested. They gathered robes and coats, covered with the warmth of the late fall sun, then paused a moment on the opposite aide of the hill to look down on the lodge, and beyond to the ticaerted development project. Ian," said Lon, "the Hondons are coming out tomorrow. Cliff Hondon says he'd like to look our place over." "Lon, you re not going to sell?" "Sell this? Sell our home? I should say not. No, It seems that Hamlin had Hondon talk to the Steeles. Doo told him all about my dream of little homes, and how It had been busted up by Lansing making off with my money. Hondon said he figured he owed a lot to you and he'd like to ropay It someway, and Anne told him anything he did for me, he'd be doing for you. And so, Inn, he's going to back me. I'll have to go slowly, and things may be a little strained financially for awhile, but " Oh Loo. I'm so happy. You know I don't care for money; for anything but for rod, don't you?" "I do, Ian," he answored softly; They stopped outside the lodge, looked at the shadows of bare limbs on the house, at tawny chrysan themums which lined the path, then went In, closing the door gently on the new day.

(UP) Huge savings !n the purchase of supplies could be ef fected by American cities If they were to take a lesson from European oltles with their hlftily developed methods of co-operative buying. Paul V. Betters, executive director of the American Municipal associa tion and the United States confer ence of mayor, reported this to the association after a summer's study of municipal problems abroad. Amazing advancement In pool pur chasing has been made In countries all over Europe and especially In Brit ain, Belgium and Denmark he re ported. "In these three countries," Betters said, "the cities have banded to. gether to operate their own Insur ance companies. As a result. Insur ance ratca have decreased tremen dously." Cities In Holland and Belgium op erate their own co-p;ra.tiv jank-i and loans are secured at low Interest rates, he said. - The co-operative purchasing move ment In this country has gained mo mentum In Michigan, Wisconsin, Virginia and New York. State leagues of municipalities are responsible for the action. The Michigan State League has contracted for fire hose for a large number of Its city members. In Wisconsin a similar plan has be n started. In New York and Virgin, the state leagues have undertaken a purchasing Information service which provides to all cities a confidential Hut of unit prices at which other cltle are buying materials and supplies. GRID ACE EATS BUG TO BACK UP BOAST FOR7 WORTH. Tex. (UP) Jim my Lawrence, star Texas Christian University halfback took the cog nomen of his team the Horned Frogs to such literal application that he went so far as tn eat a bug. One afternoon after practice some one entered tho dressing room with a bug popularly known as a devil' horse. Some of the boys shied from it. Lawrence disdainfully reproached their ttmldty. "Why, I'd eat the thing for a quarter." he bragged. Within ten seconds someone had produced a 25-cent piece, and Law rence, after turning a bit pale and gulping once or twice, thrust the devil's horse Into his mouth and swallowed It, Dances of Spain, Buss la, England and Japan In costume will be the feature at open house at Medford senior high school Monday, Decem ber 7, at 8 o'clock In the evening.
