PAGE TEN BEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE, fEDFORD, OBEGOy, THURSDAY, JUXE 6, 1935. , v SYNOPSIS: Allaon ltcde la hor rified to find that the colli and cal dilating Daphne Sumere. her fa ther's new icife-to-be, ie not only reducing her lather almott to in fantlUam. but it calmly ordering Alteon'a own life aa well Alison la expecting Ouy Weaturn tor lunch, and Daphne dlaapprov'a. Guy haa i'ma Allaon a great ecrrice. and 4ven that Daphne diacounte. Chapter 21 RUNAWAY A LISON had already discovered that her advice was not needed; ft murmurous approval of whatever Daphne suggested met the case. . "Excuse me, miss but there's a gentleman downstairs to see you.1 The butler stood In the doorway. "Did he give you bis card?" asked Daphne. "No, madam. He didn't give any name." "I'll go down and see." Alison was loklng nervously at Daphne, hoping against hope. It only she could get downstairs alone, see him (or a mo ment, explain! But Daphne had already Sung down her armful of stuffs; she had ber handbag open and was adding a fresh layer of vivid scarlet to her morning mouth. For a moment the girl hovered, hesitating. "D'you mind If I go down?" Daphne, between open lips, an swered. No, run on. Ill be down In a minute." Thank Heaven! Alison could have taugbed aloud In sheer relief. She darted down the stairs,' Into the drawing room. Ouy was there, waiting for her; the moment that she looked at him all her doubts dissolved. He'd un derstand! "Have you got your car outside?" 8ha spoke low and hurriedly. "Yes. What's up?" "I'll tell you when we get out line. He followed her obediently out; halfway down the front stairs asked, "I say, don't you want a bat?" "I daren't go up!" Alison con fessed. "I'll stop and buy one." They stole like two schoolchildren playing truant through the hall. Guy was laughing silently, Alison met bis eye and had to put her own band against ber mouth to stop herself from laughing aloud. She felt Idiot). eally Ughthearted, absurdly happy and excited; a mad soiullon but the only possible one! And be played up so wondorfully, matching her mood, asking no more questions until they were In the car and aafely off. , "What's the game?" "I'll tell you, but stop first at the corner. There's a hat shop there!" The hat shop produced a beret of not too bright a blue to match All- son's coat and skirt, and, since she was known to them, put It down, From the shop, she telephoned to Perter, always discreet, and left a message for her father to say that he had forgotten, she must lunch out, she would be back In time to f o out with Daphne at half past two. CONSCIENCE assuaged, she ran back to the car. "I say, that hat's a wow! I didn't know that a girl could buy a hat In less than ten minutes! Do tell me though what'a happened? Nothing wrong, la there?" ho asked. "Not much! Nothing except I've shocked my stepmother to glory and aha thinks you must be the deepest kind of crook!" "She thinks I'm a crook? Good Lord, what've I done?" To her sur prise he sounded less amused than anxious. "She thinks you ought to have alept In the road In the rain!" Ha laughed, the Joyous laugh that pleased her so well. "Sorry! I never thought of It or I'd have swum to Warloy!" "And left little Horbort to do any bag-snatching he fancied." added Alison gaily. "Well, I'm glad you didn't anyway. I'd have been scared to death. But If you meet her, go gentle with her, please." 'I'll be gentle as a lamb," he prom ised solemnly. "If 1 have an Irre sistible Impulse to plncb tho ellvor r do a spot of forgory, I'll hold It ternly In check. I want to meet her. Is she one of those dear woolly old ladles who filled up with Ideas In 1914 and haven't hod the oil-tank emptied since?" "Good Lord, no!" The Idea tickled Alison. "Just the opposite. Hard aa nails." "Oh, that type!" He sounded aa If he knew It well and liked It very little. Alison ended breathlessly, "Well, anyway, I haven't dared to tell her that I'd asked you to lunch, so I wondered If you'd mlu-i having lunch with Just me?" .& "I'd love It!" v "Good." "Where shall we go? The same place?" "Yes. I'd love to. But you must lunch with me, this time," she In sisted. "Sorry!" "You must!" He ran the car alongside the pave ment and stopped. "What's the matter?" she asked, surprised. "I'm going to drop you here and go home and sulk unless you lunch with me!" He looked so absurd as be said It that she had to laugh and give way. "And then you call me young!" Bhe accused. They laughed and for a moment he waa occupied, turning out of Constitution Hill Into the main stream of traffic along Piccadilly. When he spoke again, it was In a different tone. "You've met your stepmother, then. How do you like her?" "Oh, all right," Alison replied carefully. "That's good. You were rather dreading the ueetlng, weren't you?" "How did you guess?" "I don't know. You gave me that Impression." "It was true." She admitted It In a low voice. "OUT now you've seen her It's all U right?" The trafllo had stopped for a moment; he had leisure to look round. Alison did not answer and he read her silence correctly. "I see. Rotten luck for you!" "I expect I'll get used to It," sbe said quickly. "It's only that It's funny at first I mean, having a third person there and the house being hers and not mine and so on." "You think It'll come off?" "My father's marriage?" He nodded. "I'm sure It will. He's awfully fond of her." It was difficult to keep that noncommittal. He said quietly, "A pity. If she's not the right kind. You know, I took a great fancy to your father. He struck me as being rather a top per. "He's a darling!" Praise of her father could always win Alison. "You know, the funny part of It is, he took a fancy to you, too." "Thank you!" "You know I didn't mean that!" "I know perfectly well what yon mean. Liking Is generally mutual. You're sure he liked me?" "I know he did. He was going ta ask you to lunch today, If she hadn't stepped In." "She? You mean your step mother?" He was driving again now and did not look at Alison. 'Yes. As 1 say, she seomed con vinced you were a crook!" He snld thoughtfully. "I wonder whnt put that Idea Into her head?" Apparently, our having break fast together!" A little hard! Even the honest must eat!" "That's what's so silly." Alison was breathless. "She seemed to think it sort of settled things al though she's not a bit that kind of person herself, I'm sure." "Ynu mean not prudish?" "I should think anything but prudish?" Funny!" 'Isn't It? Particularly as In this case It's ber own fault!" "Whnt Is?" "Our meeting!" He braked with such suddenness that Alison was flung forward: he seemed unconscious of the tact; un conscious, too, that be was holding up the traffic. "She? Responsible for our meet lug? What d'you mean?" "It was Daphne who mixed up the telegrams and sent me down to that house!" "Look here, sir, you can't do thlsl" An angry-looking policeman stuck his head Into the window, saw All son and added, "If you want to talk to your lady-frlonds, go down a aide treet and park! Don't hold up all the other trnfflc." Go to " began Guy hotly, then checked himself. "Oh, all right, con stable. Sorry." He trod hnrd on the accelerator and shot off but they were In the restaurant, had found the same corner table, before he spoke of It again. "Tell me, why did you Bay your stepmother sent you to that house? How could she mix the telezrama?" (Copyright. IMS, Evelyn If. Winch) AMaon'a Story, tomorrow, aaama to suggest aomathlna to Quv.

The Foreign Travel Division of the American Automobile Association said that motor vacationing abroad regis tered a tremendous gain In 1934. forging ahead five times more rapidly than all types of foreign travel. In addition, the division reported, the number of care shipped abroad so far thta year was 60 per cent great er than In the corresponding period last year and prospects for the coming travel season "are extremely favor able." It was pointed out that the number of cars transported to foreign coun tries In 1934 Increased 25 per cent, compared with an Increase of five per cent In total foreign travel. Continued low transportation costs and Introduction of new vessels on ocean lane capable of carrying hun dreds of cars Indicate that 1935 will be a banner year for foreign motor travel, the division said. Between 70 and 75 per cent of all cars shipped abroad last year were of the medium and low price class, "proving that vacationing abroad un der one's own power Is no longer a luxury to be enjoyed only by tho rich, but Is now within reach of the aver age pocketbook," the AAA branch said. The Foreign Travel division said 41 makes of automobiles from 43 states were shipped by the AAA to 52 ports of debarkation In Europe, Asia and Africa. New York led tn the number of cars ahlpped, followed in order by New Jersey, - Massachusetts, Illinois, Ohio and the District of Columbia. MARIA JERITZA HOLLYWOOD.

Declaring her divorce from her present husband would become final in "three or four weeks," she caus tically denied published reports of a new romance. "Rumors of my engagement to thru different men, one a prince, one a count and one a publisher, circulated In the past three days are not true." she said. "I am Interested only in following my career." DAINTY DOROTHY'S DOOR IN ZOO HOME TOO TINY OAKLAND. Cal., June 6. (Up) It was strange, thought the Oakland zoo attendants, that their dainty Dorothy, their only elephane, refused to enter the private bungalow erected for her In her section of the zoo. Yesterday a spectator sized up Doro thy, looked at the bungalow, and con ferred with the attendants. Carpen ters broaden, the bungalow en trance six feet and dainty Dorothy moved into her boudoir last night. AGAIN ON E DALLAS, Texas (UP) America's vast army of migratory, homeless boys is again on the move, accord ing to O. A.' atewart, supervisor at the Texas transient bureau. Each day since spring's sunshiny days have given promise of warm summer months which will follow soon, the number of boys haa In creased. Now there Is an averse ol about 40 boys reporting at the bu reau daily, Stewart said. The boys have developed a peculiar outlook on life, according to Stewart. Their movements have become point less, they wander from bureau to bureau and register each night with the same lack of embarrassment that a citizen would feel In registering at a hotel. "Seldom do the boys stay In one locality more than two or three days," Stewart said. "Their one aim is apparently to reach the next town, and then the next and the next in a never-ending circuit." Most of the boys never have gradu ated from grammar schools and few have attended high schools. They talk not about Jobs and settling down, but about the transient bu reau in the city ahead. Does it have good food ? Clean beds? Do they provide shoes or other clothing? THE FAMILY ALBUM-LIBRARY BOOK Last Civil War Vet Dead KENT.
