INSINUATIONS
ALISON gulped down ber tea and
set the cup down as she got up.
She said conventlonallj to Mrs.
Sinners, "I do hope jou won't think
Jn so frightfully rude It I rush
away? The truth Is, I've a frantic
headache, and I want to take an
aspirin and He down before dinner.
These last few days hare been
rather tiring."
"Oh, my dear!" Daphne struck
an attitude, registering remorse.
"And It's all my fault! 'Oh, It is!
Bob told me. I'm so terribly sorry!
You see, be gave me his telegram
to send off and I'd one of my own,
and somehow I must're muddled
them up, I can't think how."
"It was the fault of those idiots
at the telegraph office," Interjected
, Robert.
"No! I'm sure It was my fault."
Dapbne Insisted. "You see I sent
both telegrams oror tbe telephone
and I was ' . a hurry, meeting you!
She patted bis hand. "And I forgot
rto make them repeat the telegrams
'.before 1 rang off. So Alison must're
got the one meant for Harrlps. It
.I'd had tbe faintest notion I'd hare
I rushed down to Warier myself, but
l nerer dreamt!"
! "How could you?" said Robert
fondly. "Anyway, all's well that
ends well. Isn't It, Alison?"
But the girl did not answer. She
was staring at Mrs. Sumers who
was saying "But It Isn't well! Tho
poor child might have got a cold!
Those wretched tenants left the
whole place In the most frightful
muddle. WTjy there wasn't even a
i blanket In the house, and
"Then then It'a your house?'
Tbe words came out slowly, as If
they were being squeezed out of
Alison's Hps.
"The Croft House? Oh, yes,
aid Daphne Sumers brightly. "It s
my house."
OUR house." 'Alison repeated
' x tbe two words as If she could
kardly grasp the fact.
"Yes? Why?" There was a tinge
f sharpness now In Daphne's voice.
"Oh, nothing. Only, I hadn't
thought of it being yours, that's all,"
said Alison quickly.
"I don't live there, of course,"
said Mrs. Sumers. "I can't afford
to and anyway. Its too full of mem
ories. Unpleasant memories." She
gave a faint sigh, followed by a side
glanco of gratitude directed at Rob
ert. "It's been furnished to lot but
now I've sold It But If I'd only
realized that the telegraph office
could make a silly mistake like that!
However, your father tells me you
weren't quite alone."
"No, Fortunately." Every flbre
et Alison's being waa awake now,
alert; her mind kept puzzling over
this new discovery. Did the tele
graph office really make mistakes?
After all, they handle Incredible
numbers of telegrams! Instinctive
distrust made ber the more suspi
cious. An unlikely tale, that two
telegrams could get mixed and yet,
what had Mrs. Sumers gained by
that night vigil?
"Bob tells me that a most attrac
tive young man came to your res
cue!" Daphne gave a little arch
laugh. "You know, Alison, If you
weren't su young, I'd almost sus
pect that you hadn't tried very bard
to set In touch with us!"
For a moment Alison could not
reply: sheer Indignation choked her
and to her vast annoyance her
cheeks flushed until the color
spread right down her neck.
"Look! She's blushing! You
know. Bob, I believe It's time you did
get someone to look sfter ber!
Fsthers don't know everything, do
they?"
Robert Rede took his dsugbter's
band.
"I think we're different from most
fathers and daughters, sren't we?"
be said kindly.
"Very different." Alison found her
voice wllh an effort. "When Mrs.
Sumers knows us both better, she'll
find that out."
"My dear, I was only Joking." In
an Instant, less than an Instant,
Mrs. Sumers dropped her arvh man
ner, became serious, soothing.
"Your father has told me so much
about you that 1 feel I do know you,
almost ss well as I know him."
It was Ilka fencing, thought All
son; thrust snd parry. Every word
carrying Its hidden, double pjrpose
the effort to Impress Robert com

bined neatly with a warning to All
son herself that she was now merely
the unnecessary third.
Innately honest and sincere her
self, bating subterfuge of every
kind, the girl's disgust was tinged
with fear. In her own fashion, a
narrow, single-minded fashion.
Daphne was clever; reluctantly
Alison admitted It to herself.
She added now, "I'm sorry that I
didn't meet the young man. I
would bare liked to thank him. And
your father tells me that he's
charming."
"You will meet blm, for I hope
be'a coming here to lunch," said
Robert.
"TTERE?" Tor a moment Alison
al . would have sworn that
Daphne bl nched; the rouge on her
cheeks brightened and stood out In
two pink patches; there was per
haps ten seconds Interval before her
smooth, "Oh! That's very nice . . .
when ?"
"I haren't asked him yet. Youll
have to ring him up, Alison."
"Youre got his address, then?"
Mrs. Sumers said that lightly.
"As a matter of tact, I haren't.
I forgot to ask him for it." the girl
was carefully casual.
"You con look it up In the tele
phone book, 1 suppose." Daphne
spoke quite sharply. "What's bis
name?"
"Westurn."
"Ob? I don't know the name.
What Is be like? Your father could
only tell me that he had good man
ners!" She laughed, but there was
uo ring now In ber laughter. She
had reached out for a clgaret and
was busy with the match.
"Like? Oh, I don't know, quite,"
returned Alison.
"You didn't notice whether he
was fair or dark?" But behind the
joking words, Mrs. Sumers' eye
challenged, wary and anxious.
"Oh! Oh, I see. Dark."
"Tall?"
"Yes, her."
"What urt of age?"
"I don't know. I should think
around about thirty, wouldn't you?"
Alison appealed to her father.
"Not more than thirty." agreed
Robert
"What Is he?" Daphne Sumers
appealed now to her nance.
"An architect, he said, dldn'tlhef
Alison nodded.
"Married?" asked Daphne sljarp
ly. "No."
"You asked him that?" That with
a faint, sneering smile whlrb jarred.
"No. He just happened to toll me."
Alison kept her voice cold and level.
"I see. Did you tell him who you
wore?" There wns moro than a hint
of mockery In that.
"Well, naturally."
"Rather romantic!"
"What do you menn?" The chal
lenge slipped out heforo Alison could
stop It.
"Nothing." said Daphne Inno
cently. "It is rather romantic, tlint's
alL Rescue of a young girl at night
In a lonely house, breakfast In the
kitchen, the whole thing, Isn't It?"
"Breakfast In the kitchen?" Rob
ert wns frowning.
"Didn't Alison toll you?" Her eye
brows went up, her eyes to the girl's
face. "Oh, my dearl I gather he
stsyed there all night. They had
breakfast In the morning Isn't that
right?"
"Quite right"
"You didn't tell me." Robert
looked troubled now.
"I didn't think It worth mention
ing," said Alison, quite truthfully.
"I'm only wondering how Mrs. Sum
ers knew."
"Me? Oh, I went down there yes
terday to watch my stuff being
moved out and found breakfast still
on the table!" Mrs. Sumers laughed.
"I couldn't think what had hap
pened! By iho way, won't you call
me Daphne? There's not all that dif
ference between our ages, you
know!"
"If yon would rather," Alison
agreed.
"I would. My dear, don't look so
serious! I'm sure that youj adven
ture was quite harmless. Wasn't
It?" Again, she appealed to Robert.
"I don't exactly see what else I
could do," said Alison hotly.
"You couldn't do anything
else," agreed Mrs. Sumers quickly.
'Only" She looked at Robert. "I
think your falher's thinking that If
he had been a very nice young man,
he would have managed to spend
the night elsewhere! Isn't t'.iat It?
But you know. Bob, the younger
generation Is more casual than
ours.

BOARD TRIES
10 JUSTIFY ACTS
SALEM, Juna 1 . f AP) Refuting
charges made by the Oregon liquor
control commission that the attor
ney general's office "has been alow
and unresponsive In furnishing urg
ently needed opinions to the com
mission" Attorney General I. H. Van
Winkle In a statement today declared
the accusations were but a "subter
fuge to cover the reversal of the orig
inally announced policy not to em
ploy private counsel."
The liquor control commission. In
announcing the appointment of
Austin Fllegel of Portland aa an at
torney for the commission, named
by a two to one vote over John Beck
man, had laid the reasona at the
door of the attorney general's office
at Salem.
The commission's announcement
further s to ted the office "had failed
to complete and deliver a new net
of retaliations asked by the com
mission, and had not furnished ap
proximately ten opinions requested
In the last two months. . . . Wc can
not wait until the attorney general
finally geta around to give us be
lated opinions, . . . the commission
feeling at this time that it had re
ceived little If any cooperation from
Mr. Van Winkle and his staff."
Van Winkle's statement, addressed
to the commission, refuted all of Mie
charges. Van Winkle said he had
waited some official communication

Van Winkle stated he did not
question the authority of the com
mission to employ Its own attorney,
but he did "controvert such state
ments attributed to your commission
since they are wholly unwarranxi
and untrue."

to retain the substance of the mar
