PAGE SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOKI). OREGOX, FRIDAY. MAT 31, 1935. SYNOPSIS; Alison Reds has breix rescued from an assailant by Guji Wcnturn. More, she has been attracted strongly to Guv, although there is a certain air of mystery about him. Alison's wealthy father, Robert Rede, is marrying again this time Daphne Sumers. And AU son is taking tea tcith Daphne and her father, and cannot overtook the fart that Daphne seems hard and somehow too much of the world. Chapter 18 SUSPICION TEFORE she could draw back, Alison found herself enveloped in an embrace which Included kisses on both cheeks and an overpower ing scent of gardenia. Always shy, reserved and slow to make friends, she found herself standing stiffly while she suffered Daphne's kisses without returning thera. But If Mrs. Burners noticed the (girl's coldness, she did not show it She drew back, held her off at arm's length and looked at her, then turn ing 10 ne nance aaiu, uod: wny didn't you tell me she was a beauty!" He laughed happily and caught the widow's hand, put his free arm round the girl's shoulders. "Lovely, isn't she?" "Walt!" Mrs. Sumers gave a high, thin, laugh. "I've great plans brew ing" Shi turned to Alison. "I'm so From the time she was eight, she had always sat there, In that chair by the fire, whenever they were at home; Blnce the days when she had needed both hands to lift up the heavy tea-pot. But this titse Robert Rede was not allowed to miss the chill note In the girl's voice, could not, since Daphne Sumers underlined It with an ap pealing glance at him. "I'm doing my best' that swift glance said. "She won't respond." Aloud she murmured In a soft and whining tone "Cream?" "Alison!" The girl had never heard her father b peak in that annoyed voice to her before. She started. "Yes?" "Daphne's asking you If you want cream." His tone reproved her sharply. I'm sorry. I thought you were asking father." Alison took her cup quickly. "Yes, cream, please." "T UCKY baby," Daphne Sumers was acidly sweet. "I wish I dared drink all that cream! But at your age! What are you? Seventeen?" 'Eighteen and a half." "You don't look ft! Does she?" "I suppose she doesn't," he agreed doubtfully as if this new view of his FAR EAST PLANS BY BOLDMOVES Nations Busy With Own Problems, Awake Too Late China Fears Must Pull Chestnuts From Fire By II. R. F KIN'S I I'nltrd PrpM Mtnff 'ori-p spend rut j (Copyright, 1935. by the United Press) ( WASH TNGTON. (UP) It is 30 years since Japan presented the I Twenty-one Demands of China. Frus trated then by protest from abroad she now Is proceeding with a repeat performance, her position vastly strengthened by what she has been able to get away with in a sorely troubled and preoccupied world. It Is nearly three and one-half years since the world realized the full ' significance of the Japanese armed occupation of Mukdon. Now Japan la out of the League of Nations, she retains her mandate over the Pacific Islands, she has served notice of what she really thinks of the Washington naval treaty, she has captured profit able markets abroad and she Is out to have her way In China, while keep ing an alert eye on a confused inter national situation. China's Fear Here is what the Chinese, equally skilled with the Japanese In the fine and baffling art of Oriental diplo macy, fear as they realize that de Eplte high-soundiug talk abroad they must pull their own chestnuts out of the fire. After finally persuading the Chi nese to abandon further anti-Japanese activities and after elevating Chi nese and Japanese diplomatic mis sions in thlr respective countries to the rank of embassies the Japanese will push China into the closest pos sible alliance with Japan and her step-child, Manchoukuo. The Chi nese are to be convinced that they must forget their "humiliations," start with a clean slate and with Japan as the Big Boss Join Manchou kuo and Japan In the responsibility for maintaining peace In the Far East. To the Chinese what docs this mean? It means that at Japan's bid ding China must abandon depend ency upon Europe and the United States. Such dependency, the Jap anese argue, hasn't gotten China any where anyway. Japan's Demands Concretely, the Chinese expect that they will be asked to leave the League of Nations, send league technical ad visers back to Geneva and look to the Big Brothers In Tokio for aid. comfort and advice. In return for Chinese dependency on Japan, the Japanese will agree to provide China with whatever money she may need. Further.- Japan would provide China. I which has 2.000.000 men of her own ! under arms, with military forces to . police China Inside, the Great Wail as 1 Japan polices Manchoukuo outside ' the Great Wall. China will be ex- j pected to "run out" on the Geneva and Hoover-Sttmson non-recognltlon ! policies and formally recognize Man- ! choukuo. in return for which Japan will guarantee the stability of what ever Chinese government elects to play ball with japan. In the face of this prospect what 1b the Chinese reaction? Can Japan proceed to realize her ambitions In the Far East: make Impregnable and unchallenged her position there in order that if she likes she may play an effective role elsewhere in the world? Can she close the "Open Door" with impunity and tell her critics in Europe and America that they, as the Chinese, can like It or lump it?

From tho moment (hat Dob totd me he had a daughter, I've been longing to dress you! And now!" She flung her hands up In a little artificial gesture which grated on tho girl. Bent over and patted her aim. "We're going to be great friends! I can feel It. And I'm always right, aren't I?" "Always." Mobort released Alison ind stooped to kiss Daphne. "Al-w-ys and always." Alison turned sharply away. She pretended to tidy hor rufllod hair In the glass over tho chimney-shelf, so is to hide her mouth which would tremble. 8be had been elgltt when her idorcd mother had died, but even now she could remember seolng her father lean over Just like that, his hand In his wife's while he stooped to kiss her. The memory hurt like knife thrust, so fiercely that she felt nlmost sick and needed the sec ond to recover her poise. CHE felt, with the Instinct which " the honest possess, that evory word nnd gesture of the women sit ting behind hor was false, Insincere. That her father, simple, warm hearted and trusting, should be eausht by It was not so surprising: he bad a reverent respect for all women which would make him easy prey. Ho was laughing happily now, unconscious that there was any strain between these two women whom he loved. "It's too late to do anything. He's going to marry her. I Just mustn't let him see!" thought Alison, con trolling her face Into a polite smile. And turned bnck to meet two (lark eyes filled with malice. It was gone In a flash, replaced by a wlilo F.mlle on the magenta lips, but the girl knew. It Robert Itedo had seen nithlng, Mrs. Sumers hail! She Ibougbt despairingly, "Now she will hnte me!" "Ten, Alison?" Even the gesture wllh which Mrs. Sumers held the big silver tea pot up was graceful and studied; the picture of an affecllnn ate woman welcoming a step-child. "Please." Try as she would. Alison could not He, even In her yolco. She felt lost and strange as she sat down. I daughter surprised him. "I suppose she Is rather young." "A mcro baby!" Again tbero was no more than a flash of malice In the dark eyes. "Nevermind! Now that you're old enough to think of going to dances, wo must do something about It. I've the most marvellous dressmakor, my dear. She'll do won dera for your flguro It's her special ity, smoothing out the gawky line and Antolnc, of course, for your face! You know, I'm going to enjoy dressing you far better than I do dressing myself!" Alison glanced at her father. He was beaming, his eyes adoring the woman by the fire. She thought bit terly, "He doesn't see. Ho's eating every word of It, thinking how kind she Is!" Mrs. Sumers finished triumphant ly. "Bob, when I'm dono with her, you won't know her! She'll be mar velous!" "If sho's half as marvelous aa yon are, she'll do!" He leaned ovor as he spoke and patled the long while hand on the table wllh Its red. talon like nails. Said to Alison, "Yon don't know yet what a wonder I've found! Fancy, she designs and makes all these amatlng dresses that she wears." Alison opened her mouth and shut It again qulokly. Careful! What was tho good of telling him the truth that that rod and black dress bad been photo grnped In Vogue? That It must have cost at least thirty guineas nnd was the latest creation of a Tarls dress maker whose handiwork was as Im possible to mlstnke ns a Titian or a Gnlnsborough? "I think that's wonderfully clev er, she said aloud and prayed that the lie might not sound as bad as It felt. "Ah! I havo tol Thai's the secret." again (he whining note, tho nole of a beggar, crept Into Mrs. Sumer'a voice, grating atrociously on the girl's nerves. "You see, I haven't a penny In the world, so I must use my finders and my brains." She was smiling at Robert, he was smiling bnck at her.
