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

the road, had seen ber, and cam
hurrying down the steps.
"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.

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.

FROM CHURCH POLPIT
Fred M. Weatherford, pastor-evangelist.
In speaking from the Church
of The rJazarene ' pulpit Sunday
morning from the topic. "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. The
psalmist referred to It as having been
brought out into a wealthy place.
Moses referred to It as esteeming even
the reproach of Christ; greater riches
