PAGE FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1935. THE WORLD AT ITS WORST WREGKOF RUSSIAN WORKERS RESUME E By CLUYAS WILLIAMS (Copyiighvms. by Th, BU Syndic t. Die.) Alison Rede's step- . -.v-l.s is Daphne Burners. . ,i'.uie not only has persistently :.us.mlerslool Alison, but eien has persuaded Alison's easy-going la ther that there icas something pe culiar in Guj Weslum's actions the night a mistake in telegrams sent Alison alone to a house In RusscT. And the mistake ie Daphne'sl Ali son and Gup are on their way to lunch. Chapter 22 MORE MY8TERY ALISON told Gny the entire story. The telling took some time, lnce she must tell him everything from the beginning, from that llrat letter from her father, her doubts and difficulties In the train, her go ing to the house at Warley, right up to -her father's sudden change of front last night. A waiter waved a card at them, they chose and ate; but to Alison, at least, the strange dishes that were flavored with paprika might as well have been sawdust. Intent on tolling her story, she put spoonfuls of soup, macaroni with chicken and over-sweetened stewed fruit Into her mouth as they came along, tasting nothing, hardly no ticing what she did. Guy hardly ate at all. He sat listen ing with strained Interest as If each word mattered dosporately. Once or twice he nodded, now and again he "She didn't say it to me, only to father. 1 gather she thought that you were a crook and after my mon " She stopped dead, the words cut off her lips, that fatal flush rising and flooding her face. It was as It the unfinished word bad been writ) ten there, and he could read It. "I see." Kls whole face seemed to set stiffly. "1 wish I did!" It meant next to nothing, that. She had spoken to hide her own embarrassment. Hur ried on with no other end. "Can you make head or tall of It? I mean, the telegrams and everything?" "I don't know . . ." He said It slow ly, still abstracted and upset. Rose suddenly. "I say, let's get out of this!" lis paid the bill; when they were In the car, he turned up North, drove straight towards Regent's Park In silence. Alison, watching his face, wondered why her story had worried blm so but she did not like to ask. They were halt way round the arc of Hamilton Place when he spoke unexpectedly. "When's your father getting mar rlcd?" "I don't know. In about six weeks, 1 think he said." He considered that soberly, as If It made a great deal of difference. 'as .

"1 don't know much, really," All- son had to admit. "Out I bellove they met In an hotel."' "Who Introduced them?" "I don't think anyone. I gathered It was just sort of by chance." He said. "I see . . ." thoughtfully, and after a pause "Go on." And In the end he declared,"! still don't understand. What's she got to do with Warley?" "It's her house." He gave a little nod as If he had expected that; sat staring at the table. Drumming softly with his An gers, deep in thought. After a while he looked up and his eyes were sombre. "Do yon think she really mixed those telogrnms by mistake?" "I I don't know," Alison admit ted, reluctantly. She had tried throughout her story not to say any thing unkind against Daphne. "I suppose it's possible." "Possible, yes," he admitted. "1 don't qulto see what point there Is In doing it on purpose, do you?" "XJO." He socmed not quite certain. "What did you say hor name was?" "Mrs. Sumers. Daphne Sumers. Why? Do you know her?" "No. 1'vo never heard the name before." She fnnclrd that for a mo ment he hesitated before saying that, "Your father hadn't known her long?" "No. They only mot a few wooks ago. Dy the way. It was out In Nice." He said nothing but his hand went suddenly up lo his mouth as II to hide It. When he frowned like that, he bad a d?ep vertical tine between bis eyebrows. It wiped the boyish friendliness out of his face, made him almost frlRhtenlng. Alison had a feeling that he did not see her sitting there on the high bsckod wooden settlo opposite, as If be was looking through her at something far away. Ho asked abruptly, "What did she sav shout me?" "I don't know," Alison confessed. HE said slowly, "I'm not quite surt what to make of all this. I I'd like to think over it. Will you do on thing for mo?" "Mm. Of ooursel" she agreed readily. "What?" "I want you to say nothing about our lunch today. I mean to your stepmother. I mean, nothing about me. Will you do that?" "Yes," she promised at once. Then. "Can you tell me why?" He hesitated. "She may be someone I know. I I'd rather not talk about It till I'm sure." "J see." Then, doubtfully, "What about my father?" They had reached the gate out Into Biker Street before he an swered, "I don't know. What do you think?" "If I toll him, he's going to tell her," said Alison doclslvoly. "I won'l If you don't want me to." He smiled suddenly at her. "I'm asking rather a lot of you, am I not?", "No!" she smiled back. "I trusl you." For a moment his expression startled hor; he looked so terrlblj upset. Profoundly, painfully moved I wonder If I'm being fair to you! He said that almost to him self. Looked round at her with a sharp turn of the head, as If he had not made up his mind. Then, star Ing ahead, frowning, drove the length of Baker Street out Into the Edgwnre Road. He said as if there had been no break In the converse lion, "Look here, will you give me a week no. say ton days?" es. She met his eyes flrmly. "You know, you're rather a won derful person!" For an Instant his left hand dropped from the wheel, no more than touehed hers In silent thanks. Alison did not answer. She could not speak. They wore at the turning into Chester Square when she asked. 'What about meeting?" "We mustn't." He said that flrmly. 'It wouldn't be right."
