PAGE EIGHT MEDFOKD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, MAY 21, 1935. BYSOrmS: Guy Weaturn hat i escued Alison Ktdt from a de serted Sussex house, and brought her back to her greatly relieved and rather fussy father Meanwhile the mystery of the deserted house it increased by the appearance of mover a and of a dark woman who superintends their work and finds something very strange in the cel lar Alison's father it horrified to know that the hnt received a tele gram ostensibly from him direct ing her to the house. He has tent no such telegram. Chapter 13 ABOUT DAPHNE 'T DON'T know what I Bhould've done without Mr. Westurn," aald Alison sweetly. Robert Rede took his cue. "I'm extremely grateful to him," be remarked. "I don't know what else I could have done, sir, said Guy modestly. facing the two honest eyes which were summing him up. "Anyway, It was a pleasure." Major Rede nodded in approaI he liked young men to call him "sir" respectfully, and he liked & modest tone, compliments inserted In their proper places. "I hope you'll come and look us up," he said to Guy. "Live In Lon don, do 5011?" "Yes." "What elae could I have "Mr. Westurn'a an architect," put m Alison. "Ah! An architect. Well, I hope you'll come round and see ua when we re less when we're leas" he tlntshed that sentence by a fierce twlat which sent hla tie Into Its place and a pat on hla dishevelled, thin nlng hair. Alison seconded the mo tion with a soft "Yoa, please do!" "I'd like to very much, If I may.' There are tlmea when words are quite unnecessary; two pairs of eyes can talk without such a clumsy me dium. A glance exchanged on the way to the front door, a amlle, a hand which liners half, a second too long In saying goodbye can press some things much bettor than any language yet Invented. When the front door had shut, Alison gave a sign. "N'lce young follow," Major Rede aald warmly. ". . . good manners. Decent One can always Judge." He linked his arm Into Alison's and stooped to kiss her again. Said In gratitude. "We must ask him round to lunch or something one day, don't you think we ought to?" "I think perhaps we ought," said Alison. "He's really quite nice." Which only goes to show the com plete duplicity of even good girls.

IT was after dinner that night that Alison summoned up enough courage to ask about her father's fiancee. "Tell me more about her. What's she like? Where did you meet her? How did It all happen?' Robert, sitting contentedly In hie big chair, a bright fire burning, hie cigar alight and his daughter perched on the arm of the chair, fell cheerfully at peace with the whole world. He smiled merrily at Alison "I expect you thought me an old fool, didn't you?" be guessed. "Bui you won't when you've met her." "Yes, but what's she like?" Alisor insisted. "Yu know, father darling you're not good at description! Voi haven't even told me whether she dark or fair!" "Oh! Dark." "Pretty?" "I suppose she's not what you' call pretty," he admitted. "But at my age, my dear, one doesn't judgf by looks. She's charming and attrac tlve. A woman who knows her world and a delightful companion for f lone man." XT', 'P 4 ynryr; dona?" asked Guy. "Has she any children?" asked Alison. "Children? Good Lord, no!" He soemed almost shocked at the no tion. "How old Is Bhe then?" Her father looked up at her blank ly. "D'you know, now you come to mention It, 1 don't know!" Alison laughed. "Darling, Isn't that like you!" "1 should say she was about," he considered, "well, ten years older than you." Twenty-eight. Well, that wasn't too bad, decided Alison; It would be more like having an elder Bister. The phrase In her father's letter: "a Airs. Burners, a widow," might have meant anything. "You know you haven't really told me anything about her; what's her other name?" "Daphne." "That's pretty; Daphne Sumers," said Alison approvingly. Her father tweaked her ear. "She won't be that soon!" "Why, when ore you to get mar ried?" Not soon, Alison hoped. Let her have a little while with her fa ther first! In about six weeks, we thought." he told ner. "Ton see, we're going to honeymooa a Madalra, so 1 thought i a wait antll roor annt Emily got home from India and then yon could stay wlin .r while ire ere away." i rami that a a splendid Idea." agrxd Alison; her fat. red faced obeery aunt waa dellhttul and iked both her yonng oouslna. He satd rather wistfully now. "I hope yon are going to like her." Alison stooped and kissed him lightly. "1 know I am," she said warmly, expect l; has been lonely for you." He laughed slyly. "Has? Don't you think I'd be rather rash to count on many vears of you, my dear?" He noted ber Hush with a imlln and added. "Think I didn't notice how that young man looked at you?" "He didn't!" tCfipyrleht. l)!S, E. rljn V. ITIitra; But Guy turn, up, uniought, to. morrow. " ' MONTANA PICNIC SET JUNE 1G LITHIA PARK ASHLAND. May 31.

OPEN FOR TRAVEL IE 15 IS Despite heavy snowfall. Crater Lake National Park will be open to travel by June lfi, park authorities have an nounced. The south and west en trances, leading from Klamath Falls and MedXord. will be cleared of snow within ten days, permitting traffic to park headquarters, three miles from the lake rim. Approximately two weeks will be necessary to remove the heavy ac cumulation of snow along this route, with ten feet on the rim at the pres ent. The Crater Lake lodge, cafeteria and store are to be In operation June IB, providing rooms and food for early season visitors. Housekeeping cab Ins will be available as soon as snow conditions permit, followed by the resumption of stage service to Med- ford and Klamath Falls, boat service and the opening of the postofflce July 1. It Is probable the trail from the lake rim to the water will be open July 1, when boats for fishing trips and excursions will be ready for use. Due to exceptionally deep drifts, the rim road, around the lake for a dis tance of 35 miles, will not be open before July lfl and probably not un til the latter part of the month. The recent mild weather has been melting snow rapidly and has re duced a 13-foot depth at Govern ment Camp to six feet, and a ten- 1 S-MATTER POP " , Bv C M.
