Theu art driving back to London together and ilieon is telling Oug how strange it is that her father who it rather "tusag." tailed to meet her at the Sussea houee Alison liltee Oug tut thinks it remark able that he should have teen eo ' eonvenientlv at hand Ueanwhile a moving van arrives at the house and (1 woman appears to direct the movers. Hhe points to a desk that has been tampered with. Chapter 12 THE CELLAR "T OOK t that!" a!d the woman. The foreman lingered all the leak drawera In turn, doubtfully. "Looks aa II lomeone'l been at them," be admitted reluctantly. Then with great emphaals. "Me and my mates can't be responsible tor this. We couldn't get Into the 'onae." "Oh, I'm not blaming you," agreed he lady carelessly. She left the man there and went on Into the pantry. Jown the passage Into the kitchen. In the doorway ahe stopped, frown ing. On the deal table stood a brows teapot, two dirty cups, two plates which bore the tracea of recent egg and bacon. A brand-new, shining tin kettle sat on the oil-stove. She picked It up and stared at It, a sharp-cut line between her thin, plucked eyebrows. Her tongue slid on' and wet her painted lips. She pat one pale, well-manicured band against the aide of the kettle but, being empty, It was cold. Her eyes dark, round and set rather too near a big nose grew rery thoughtful as they rested on a frying-pan which contained a cir cle of cold bacon fat and two bright apots of egg. With her thin, crooked mouth compressed bard, she turned away and went quickly down the seven steps leading Into the cellar. She turned the key, went In, walked through It, first turning on the main switch, then all the lights lone by one. In the farthest cellar, by Ithe fallen roll of linoleum, she topped. For a moment ahe atood staring llnto the recess, her face blanched, a picture of surprise and consterna jtlon. horror and fear. Twice she jbent forward, as It she doubted her own eyes. ' Then, slowly, her expression changed. Her eyes grew thoughtful, jber long fingers tapped Impatiently against her hip. Suddenly, like a person who baa made up ber mind, ahe laid down the bag and gloves -which she held and got to work Four minutes later, pale and pant ing as It unaccustomed to taking heavy exercise, she stood back and dusted her hands and dress particu larly carefully, looking back the while over her shoulder as If afraid that someone might come and dnd ber there. Then, very quietly and awlftly, she ran back on tin-toe through the cellars, switching off the lights and locking the door. She had gained the drawing room again when the mover, seeing ber standing by the defik, touched his forelock and asked, "Nothing else Is there but what's In these rooms and upstairs, madam? Anything to clear outside or down below?" ; "Nothing," said the lady. "There are one or two things In the out bouse, I think, but I'm leaving those for the new tenant to take over." "Then we'll get on with It," agreed the man. "Yes." She had turned away be fore ahe added, "I shall have to run Into Warley, but I'll be back before you've done." By the gate, ahe paused to slip the big key of the cellar furtively Into her bag; then ahe went out and got Into her red runabout. There were two spot of bright pink color In her thin, sallow cheeks, and ber lark eyes smoldered as she started up the car and drove away. "THIS la It." Alison held out her band and they drew In towards the curb be fore No. "12 Chester Square. It was a tall house, one of those olid seven-story houses wblcb were built In the days when money and labor were plentiful. Some of the other houses had been converted Into flats, but No. 712 still had kept Its air of prosperous comfort. Its tiled entrance made gay by bay trees In bright metal-bound tubs. Its paint work spotless and lta door adorned with labor-making, brilliantly kept brass. Guy Westurn looked up at the house with a dubious expression as he asked, "You live here?" "Yea." Alison waved her hand There's my father " Robert Rede, Handing at the NAZARENE GROUP TO ANNUAL MEET A group of elected ag(it num bering nevpn lrft Mlford from the Church of the Nazarene thin morn ing to attend the annunl district embly of the dennmlnatton to be held at Olympla.

"Alison!" He caught both the girl's hands. "I got your message as aoon aa I got back. I'd been down to Scotland Yard! My dear child, what has happened?" He looked anxiously from hla daughter to the large young man who atood waiting behind ber. 'Come In! Come In! You've given me the most appalling frlghtl I met the train last night and you weren't on It, and 1 waited on the off-chance that you'd missed It and then rang up Dover and got on to the police and cabled to Lau sanne and Lord knows what! 1 was Just off myself to Dover, If you hadn't rung up!" Talking, they were already In the house, Robert Rede leading the way, his dumpy, upright figure agitated, hla small grey moustache bristling, bis hair ruffled and his face haggard. If anything could have Impressed Alison with her father's anxiety It waa the eight of his crumpled trous ers, his coat which bagged, the soiled blue collar worn with tie awry and hla unshaven cbln. At all times a dapper little man, he looked now at though he bad been put through the mangle in his clothes. "My dear, I got your wire and ve been waiting for you all night, at the Croft House, Warley," she stated, kissing him warmly. The Croft which?" The Croft House, Warley, Sussex. I'd a wire from you asking me to meet you there at eleven last night My boat got In at eight, so I had just time to catch the next train to Warley and I hired a car and drove out there." But I've never heard of the place!" Major Rede'a weathered face grew flushed with Indignation. "It's these confounded fools at the tele graph office! Must've muddled up the telegram ! Must've got two wires mixed up. I wired to you that I couldn't meet the boat and would he at Victoria at eleven." YOU POOR darling" Alison, In her sympathy, forgot her own distress. "You must've been dis tracted!" I was. I tell you, I've been on to Scotland Yard half the night!" He wrinkled up hla round and pleasant face In laughter aa he turned to Guy. "Only got one daughter and 1 can't afford to lose her. 1 thought she must've bad some awful accident 1 never trust French trains." Alison smiled at her companion. 'Thta la Mr. Westurn, father, who's been a perfect lamb and helped me through." Major Rede extended a dry, elder ly hand and grasped the young man's, wringing it hard. "Well, you must toll me all about It You've had breakfast, of course?" "Yes." They both smiled at that memory. Alison added. "Out 1 had to stay the night in an empty house and what 1 want most at the moment la a bath and a change. It you'll look after Mr. Westurn." Guy intervened hastily. "Oh, I'll get home, thanks." "Stay and have a drink. Stay and have a glass of shorry?" Major Rede nodded at his butler who was hover ing In the background. "Get some sherry. Perter. Yes, yes, you must." He almost drove the young man before him Into the library. Unking his arm In Alison's and squeezing It as though the mere sight of ber sate and sound waa too precious to be lost Guy's protests were lost In a flood of Insistence; Alison's plea at least to be allowed to go and powder her nose waa vetoed. "Powder! What do you want with powder at your age? She doesn't need It. does she? Come on. you must be dead, my dear. A glass of sherry'Il do you a world of good!" The sherry, served In tall Venetian glasses, was very good and very dry; If neither Alison nor Guy Westurn needed It, the elder man dtd. His color began to return, hla wearied eyes to brighten. He listened in horror to Alison's very carefully pruned account of her adventure, which touched only very tightly on her fright In the bathroom, whtle It emphasized Guy's part and Gaffe's guardianship, and glided diplomati cally past the fact that Guy had stayed there all night long. "Lucky thing you turned up." he judged "She mlght've got killed. I shall write to the telegraph office and complain. 1 shall raise hell un til 1 find out who's responsible. Sending a young girl off like that In the middle of the night!" His final snort was quenched In dry sherry. (Copvright list, Svelgn U Winehl Monday Allien looks up Ouy and doesn't find him.

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, FEAR CITIES WILL PLEAD POVERTY TO EVADE DEBTS WASHINOTON. May 20. fAP) A vision of cities throughout the land hastening to take a sort of fig urative "pauper's oath" so they could claim outright donations from the $4,000,000,000 work relief fund caused concern In some government quarters today. They expressed worry lest Indi viduals, as well as cities, rush to declare themselves poor. Officials were seeking to work out meth ods of preventing such stam pede. The Roosevelt administration has laid down the policy that fairly prosperous cities must repay a sub stantial share of the money spent on projects, while cities that have no borrowing power left are to recevle 100 per cent grants; that la, gifts. An official, who would not per mit use of his name for publica tion, said that "obviously one city will protest having to pay back some of the money, while another doesn't.' A somewhat similar policy has been laid down for Individuals. In general. It has been said, un employed persons not on relief rojls will not be given direct work on the government financed projects. Offic ials, however, have expressed hope they will be absorbed Into Jobs with concerns supplying materials and equipment. S-MATTER POP ETTY HAS 8EEH CAPTURED BY JOSE JOLLA .

"The Wealth of a Christian's Heritage." drew his text from second Cor. 8:9: "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich." An excerpt from his message follows: "Christianity has an mexplainable attraction to those who have exper ienced the grace of redemption.
