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

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

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

( 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?

"Daphne'i asking If you want creaml"
Siatj, Aiibun clarlina;, that you
haven't come out! 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.
