Newspaper Page Textf PAGE STX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON. WEDNESDAY, MAY 29. 1935. mm si.vurjo: Aliaon Rede haa been reacued from a dangeroue pre dicament in a deaerled and mvete rioua houae in Sussex by Guy Wea turn, who tclla Aliaon he la an ar chitect. Guy haa driven her to Lon don; a tew minutea alter they leave the Suaaex houae the movers. and a very e'lt-poaacaacd icomnn arrive to atrip the place. Miami learns her father is ahout to re marry, and that hie fiancee ie named Daphne Sumera. Chapter 14 GUY AGAIN ALISON Just had got In from a ' morning's shopping when Per ter said, "There's a gentleman wait ing to see you, Miss." "Where Is he?" Aliaon wished her heart would not beat quite so bard. "In the drawing-room, miss." Alison ran upstairs; outside the drawing-room door sha waited one moment to allow the tell-tale flush on har (ace to vanish. Blushing was a fatal habit of hers that would not be cured. She opened the door de murely. Ha was there but today he looked different. The shabby flannels bad been replaced by a lounge ault of Shetland brown; his crisp dark hair had been brushed Into some sort of order and bis chin waa smoothly shared. The burglar-like companion of her night adventure looked posi tively respectable now! "What's the matter?" When he smiled down at her like that, bia blue eyes dancing, he was the same, only nicer than her mental picture. "Nothing. Only, well, you look dif ferent today." "You mean properly dressed? Don't you like It? I'll go back and ehangel" lie waa so comically In arneBt that she laughed. "Don't do that! I do like It." She releaaed her hand from a shake that bad already lasted half a minute. "I thought I'd Just run round and make sure that you were none the worse." "Not a bit. And father's recover ing," she reported. "D'you think he'd mind If we went out and snatched a bite of lunch to gether? That'a what I really came for. I want to talk to you." "I'd love to!" "Good. Come on then. You don't want to prink do you?" "No, but I must run and leave a message for father." "All right. I'll wait." As Alison turned towards the door, she added, "I mustn't be late back, though, I've got to - meet Daphne. "Daphne?" He had turned so white, was look ing at her bo quecrly, that Alison wondered what alie could havo said. "Yes. Daphne Sinners. My step mother-to-be. Why? Do you know her?" "No. N-nol I don't think so." Ho turned rather quickly to the door. "Look hero, I'll go down and got the car started up." He hurried away and Alison, jot ting down on the telephone-pad a casual, "So sorry, shan't be In to lunch," wondered, "What on earth did I say to upset Guy like that? Waa It Daphne? Rut why should her nam startle him like that? Did he think she waa some other Dnphne or what?" T)UT If she expected Guy to ex-- plain, she was dlsnppointod. HIb first remark when she Joined him In the car was on quite a different sub ject. "I say, 1 hadn't thought. D'you mind lunching In a cheap place?" "Not a bit I'd like It." "That's all right, then!" He eemed considerably relieved. "You ee, I'm not exactly rolling at pres ent." "Aren't people building bouses?" Alison's mind darted to her father. Could be help? He had masses of acquaintances, mostly wealthy; surely If he tried he could And some one who wanted to build homes! But Guy seemed slightly put out by tha suggestion. "Houses? No. It's not thnt not exactly. I've had a bit of a sot-bark tn my business, that's all. To put It plainly. I dropped a lot and had to close down and I've only just started work again, ao at tho moment I've got to watch the exchequer." lit smiled suddenly at her. "I shouldn't think that you knew what that meant, do you?" "Being short of money? I snpposo ! don't," Alison admitted. "Father pays everything for me." "Judging by his sherry, I Imagine that should work well!" "Very well!" They laughed together; a lot of laughter over a very small Joke. But GRADE CROSSING TOLL SAN FRANCISCO (UP) A dewm of thre per et-nt In grnde crowing accidents during 1P.m as compared with thn preceding year Is reported by the California 8tate Railroad com mission. In 1933 there were 1.847 grade crossing accidents. In w hich I fid per sons were killed and V7 Injured, last year there were 1.784 accidents. Involving 101 casualties and 644 in juries. Approximately seven per cent of all highway fatHlltlrs are at grade crass- j Ings. but only one and one-half oer 1 cent of the Injuries. Ahout 'JO per' cent of the (trade accidents Involved 1 running Into the side of standing or j moving trains. I 1HMuL the day was fine, a crisp November day with frosty wind to set the blood tingling, a day that made one glad to be alive, young, and driving out to lunch with someone, a day when everything waa fine! Guy's anxious, "Sure you don't mind this?" waa quite unnecessary, for Alison found the "cheap place" charming. True. It lay In the triangle behind Regent Street, down a small, dingy side turning and the outside waa not particularly Inviting Just a window with a heavy white cur tain edged with the sort of crochet lace one sees In France. But the room Inside, low, long and made up of several run into one another, was full of funny corners that had a fascination of their own, each table cut off from the rest, and halt bidden by tall palms. Tbe guests were altogether queer for eigners for the most part, shabbily dressed and speaking In a babel of tongues. A tired-looking waiter waved them to a table at the far end and drew a menu out of his pocket, dusting It carefully on his trousers before of fering It to the girl. "Bortsch? Oh, lovely! What're Kruskls?" Alison was enchanted; Robert's Idea of a restaurant waa strictly limited to the large and fash ionable hotels which are on Picca dilly. Lord koowe! Shall we try them?" Lets! Or this I can't even pro nounce It You know, this Is ex citing!" He seemed to catch her mood. "You Ilka It?" "1 adore It! Oh, oh, they're cooking It all over there. Grille al ways fascinate me. I'd love to cook but our cook at home gets huffy If I go Into her kitchen. I think that must be the best part of being poor one can do what one likes oneself." T WONDER If you'd really like It!" a "I know I should." Alison was In earnest. "You see, we've lived so much In hotels and places, and then my time at school and when I'm home, father Ukea to entertain hla friends and wanta me to be with hlra I've never really been allowed to have any fun of that sorL But It's alwaya been my dream to own a very little house and run It all myself!" "A very little house," he repeated It slowly, his eyes on her face. Yes and a largo cooking apron!" laughed Alison. You'd look rather good!" he agreed. "Oh, I'd adore It!" "Perhaps, aa a game, for a bit." He spoke brusquely, almost rougbly. "No, I don't mean that." Alison was serious. "I menn really. You see. I'm rather a dull sort of a person. I'm not bo frightfully good at games and though I'm crazy about music I can't play or anything. I'm not a bit highbrow. If 1 try to road sorlous books I generally go to sleop over them! In fnct, I'm nut much good nt anything, except Just doing things with my hands. At school, the last one, my finishing school, we had to do domestic courses and 1 loved that; 1 liked scrubbing! It sounds silly but 1 did!" Tho waiter had brought two platos of food and set them down but both of them had no more than tasted a mouthful. Guy was leaning forward, looking at her with a queer smile. "At a guess, 1 should Bay you'd monoy of your own and were alwaya going to have monoy?" Yes?" Alison could not see the point. That's why." Why I like scrubbing?" She was frankly Incredulous. Yes. You don't understand your self, that's all. People like the things thoy haven't got to do. No one'd play Soccer If they'd got to play, by law. They'd try and get out of it You haven't got to scrub; you don't think you ever will have to scrub. so you like It. That's all." She said rehelllously, "I don't think you're being fair!" lie pushed away the Btrange cur- ry llko mixture in front of hlra and lit a cigarette out of a packet. Asked, ".My dear child, what do you know about It? I don't suppose you've ever seen real poverty! I could show you" he broke off sud denly and lovervd a momentary con fusion by striking a match. But Alison had caught the half sentence. "You were going to say ?" "Nothing that mnttered." "Yes. It did matter." She. too, pushed away the strange and nause ating dish, planted both elbows on the table and screwed up her cour age to say what was In her mind.

(UP) A ba by, who lived only four hours after birth at the Wllllamsport hospital, waa found to have Its Internal or gans In complete disorder. The Infant, born to Mrs. Lyman Lamason. mother of five other chil dren, had an Inverted stomach simi lar to AJyce McHenry, 10-year-old Omaha girl who was cured of the ail ment at Fall River. Mass. When born, the- baby seemed to be perfectly normal, weighing nine pounds. Later, a physician, while making an examination, discovered heart beats came from the right side. At first, it was believed to be rare case of where the heart Is on the right. Doctors thought this would not affect the child, as it seemed to be In good health. Four hours later the baby died. An autopsy was performed and physicians were astonished at the un usual Internal conditions. Some of the Infant's Intestines' and part of the liver were bunched to gether In the left chest. One lung was collapsed. The other practically was useless because of the closeness of other organs. There was no dia phragm on the left side. The heart was on the right side, and the stom ach waa upside-down. Younest ramnliuii Vtt Head SAINT JOHN, N. B. (UP) Keith 6. Johnston, believed to be the youngest Canadian to fight In the World war. Is dead here at the age of 34. John ston enlisted before he was 15, went overseas with the 26th Nova Scotia battalion, and saw two years. S-MATTER POP WELL. BRIAR.

Thomas F. Rellly. S. J., head of the Social Science de partment of Marquette university. "Why is It," he asks, "that ath- I letes, business men. doctors, lawyers. nurses and teachers submit to a long course of training and study to de velop knowledge and skill and stam ina so essential to success, and yet it is blandly assumed that a man and a woman can succeed In the difficult profession of marriage and parent hood Just because they are of dif ferent sex?
