Newspaper Page Text4 PAGE EIGHT ' MEDFORP MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORU, OREGON, SUNDAY, MAY 26, 1935 iwmm 8YSOPFIS: Alison Red hat gone alone to a lonely Sussex house in response to a telegram from her father. Hut AJr. Rede does not show wp; instead, Alison is al most murdered by a horrible ghost' like man, is rescued by a young and handsome one. and now it driving back to London with the latter. Hie name it Guy Westurn. he says. But there it some Question in Alison's mind as to hit having been so conveniently near' when ehe w.nt running from her o tailant. Chapter 11 THE MOVERS "DIG!" said Alison. "I shan't speak to you again till you take that back." "Which?" "Every bit of it" "I take It back. You are at least thirty-two, a ruthless, bard-bitten female. You remind me of a nurse I knew once, who lost all her patients, because the mere sight of her made them expire. By the way, are you married?" Alison met his twinkling eyes, that had two dancing blue Imps In them and Bald haughtily, "Of course I am. To my fourth husband." "Any family?" "Ten." 'Not bad!" They both laughed together. "Are you married?" she asked. "Me? A burglar's Ufa Is too unset lied." "And an architect's?" "Too badly paid!" "Then you've only you and Gaffe?" "That's all. And you?" "Only father and myself. Until now," Alison added, with a little twinge of sadness. "Oh. yes. You told me. Your fa ther's getting remarried. Do you like her?" i "I haven't met her yet." He said nothing, yet she could feel that be understood. When be spoke again It was to ask. "You said your father'd retired. What Is he? In business?" j "No. He Is a major u the Roans." ' "Roans?" He repoated it with a slightly puzzled air. I "Yes. He didn't want to go on In lit after my mother died. I suppose be (wanted to break with everything, Janyway, he retired. And as he'd I enough money, he Just traveled .about with me. In the holidays, and lalone when 1 was at school." "I see." He turned to her sudden ly. "You know. It Is funny about bis sending you that wire and then not ! turning up. It must have been the iwrong house." "T'M sure it must. You'd think It far 1 more weird If you knew him." said Alison. "Father's a darling, an absolute pot. but he's awfully fussy over me. This is the first time he's ever let me come home alone. Aa a rule, he's come to fetch me. And when he couldn't, because be was 111, he got someone to meet me at Dover. He's got the most obsolete Idoas on chaporones and things. "You don't think," Guy began. "No!" Alison answered the un spoken words. "1 don't see what else we could do. do you? I mean. If we'd gone into Warley lt'd have made It much worse, really turning up In the middle of the night together. wouldn't it?" "I thought so, anyway." "This way. no one need know." "Except your father." "Min-m. Yes, of course. 1 suppose I ought to toll him." "I must," he corrected quickly. "Why? If one's going to, it's me.' "I'd rather do it myself, if you don't mind." "Why?" Puzzled, she asked point blank. "Because If he objects, he can start kicking me." She said wonderlngly, "Was that why you wanted to drive me back?' "One of the roasona." Alison did not ask for the others she could guess at least one. She said Instead, "Do yniMhtnk wo need tell him?" "I do!" "I know. Hut well, he's frightful ly funny and old-fashioned over some things. He won't even let me go about alone when we're abroad." "You think he'd be angry?" "No. it's not that," said Alison quickly, "it's the other way. I'm afrnid he'd worry and be upset about me, quite unnecessarily. He wouldn't realize that 1 wasn't nervous and felt perfectly snfo and happy with " she stnppAd hnrt: "With?" "With you." "Thank you." He said that rather gravely and as though he meant It. And they were both silent, each very occupied with their own thoughts. "Oh. look!" Alison pointed. A shiny yellow uniform had appeared PAROLED KLAMATHiLOCAL EXTORTION KILLER, PAL HELD BURNS, Ore..

Why, you must ve just passea one, sir!" "Far back?" "Oh, no sir. About half a mile. And if that's not working, there'a another two mites back at the cross roads. "Thanks." They swung the car and turned back. Guy did not look at Alison and they said nothing. Half a mile back along the way that they bad come. placed prominently by the side of the road and very visible, was a bright blue telephone box. He drew un by It. Alison looked at him; be looked at Alison. They botb began to laugh. ABOUT an hour later a long grey furniture remover's van pulled up at the gate of the bouse on the downs which they bad left. Thls'll be the place. Bob," said the driver, a long thin man with a mournful blue eye. A fat man with an apron and a yellow walrus moustache climbed off the back of the van and cast a professional glance at the dusty windows. 'Looks like It," he agreed cau tiously. His assistant, a one-eyed ex-sol dler, bad followed the foreman and asked, "Shall we start getting the stuff out?" "Lady ain't here. Can't do noth ing till she comes," said the foreman resignedly. He walked with the Blow, stately gait of a fat man past the pantry window where Alison had entered. through the back gate and tried the locked back door. He sauntered pon derously through another red gate that led past an outhouse Into the garden and stood on tiptoe to peer Into the dining room, Judging the size of the oak table and sideboard. He glanced through the French windows Into the drawing room, not ing the size and shape of the desk with a sniff and came full circle to the front door where he gave a long, shrill peal on the bell to announce bis arrival. A second convinced him that the house was empty. He let an uninterested gaze roam over the four fine old trees, opened the high red front gate thnt had a tiny Judas In it and remarked. "Ain't no one 'ere yet" at the same time taking a half-smoked Gold Flake from behind his right ear. Fortified by this, he sat on the open end of the van. swinging two largo flat feet. "Past eleven," announced the driver sourly. "Wlmmen aren't never punctual," aald the foreman. "My wife, now I've known 'er say she'd be a minute In a shop and gone three quarters of an hour. An' then she'll come out wi'out having bought a thing!" The driver grunted sympathetical ly. The ex-soldier kept cruising rest lessly down the road and back It was be who shouted, "There you are!" and pointed to a dark speck far off along the road. The speck developed lu a matter of five minutes into a red runabout car driven by a dark lady In blue. The three men got down respect fully and waited, while she parked alongside them. "There you are!" she said. "You got my wire all right?" "Seems to have been some muddle over It, madam," said the foreman with an Injured air. "I can't be re sponsible for what they do In the shop. Anyway, wo're here now." "You'd better co:e In," said thi lady briskly. She wore a faint smile as she went through the gate and unlocked the front door. "You'd better stnrt In here," sh said, pointing to the small and shab by sitting room off the hall. "If you don't mind, madam. I'd rather 'ave a look round and get the eavy stuff out first." the foreman replied firmly. The lady shrued her shoulders. "Oh. all right. You've got to clear out everything," she agreed. And leaving the foreman and his assist ant to discuss the '"eavy stuff." she sauntered into the drawing room. She looked round it for a moment complacently, then her eye caught the desk. Her thin, rather bitter mouth twitched faintly as she bent over to examine the broken lock? but she called out sharply. "Forr man!" "Yes'm?" he appeared at the door panting and wiping a naturally crim son face. The lady pointed to th desk. (Copyright, I JUS. Evelyn Jtf. Winch ) Th lady, tomorrow, dot tort work In th eallar.

LOSE PRETTY SUM BY EARLY SALES PORTLAND, May 26. I AP) Early sales of wool this spring at prices ranging from 13 to 18 cents are estimated to have cost Oregon growers a considerable sum of mon ey, In view of the heavy specula tion which now appears to be at tending the wool .market through out the country. Indications that this is the case were revealed today by the Pacltic Co-operative Wool Growers' associa tion, representing 3,000 members. For the past two years, the farm credit administration has limited selling to commission merchants but with the bars let down this spring it Is estimated that between 12. 000,000 and 15,000,000 pounds of Oregon's probable 20,000.000 pound clip have been sold. Mortgaged wool previously had to be consigned. The price range for Oregon wool, except in the Lakevlew and Klam ath regions, up to May 1 was 12 to 15 cents. Prom May 1 to May 15, prices ranged from 14 to 18 cents, and the present basis Is from 18 to 17 cents, with cross bred at 18 to 19 cents. In the Lakevlew area, it is esti mated that 600,000 pounds have been sold at 20 cent, mont of It unsheared. Offers In the Klamath Palls area have ranged from 10 to 20 cents but no major sales have been reported.
