PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 1935. SYNOPSIS: Alison Rede known that Daphne Sumera it marrying Alison'9 father (or his money To day the has seen Daphne, through the window of her flat, in the arms of a strange mnn. Alison leami on her return homo that euddenly Daphne has persuaded her father that Alison should no with them on their honeumoon. Alison cannot de cide whether to tell her fftther about Daphne and her other lover. Chapter 25 PHONE CALL CiOULD Guy throw any light on ' It? she wondered. She glanced at the Ivory and silver clock on her table. Still another ten minutes be fore dinner. She began to hurry, finished dressing quickly, clasped on her father's turquoise pendant and ran hastily down stairs. After seven, he had said, and It was now ten minutes to eight. If aha rang up now, she would catch htm, ahe could tell him of the new de velopment before her father got down or Daphne Sumera arrived. The light was out In the library but Alison did not wait; she ran to the desk and switched on the read ing lamp, caught up the telephone book and flipped over the pages. Dun das Doctor Dundas here It was an address down in the East end; ahe dialed the number with a finger that shook slightly as It fumbled for the right slot. What a long time the bell took ringing! "Hullo?" Somehow ahe had expected a maid or Doctor Dundaa Instead of Guy himself. "Hullo? Is that you? Alison Rode speaking. Listen. 1'va only a few moments but 1 wanted to tell you Bom e thing funny has happened 1 can't talk about it now, she's dining here and may come In at any minute and the aervanta might near. Out can we meet tomorrow? It's urgent. Yes! Lunch, then, the same place, same time? All right. Will you pick me up here? Yes, but I think lt'd be better If we met Just round the cor ner. Do you know? By the end of Ebury Street ... 1 thought 1 ought to let you know after what you said today. Well, thanks most awfully. Goodnight" Alison set the receiver back. In tense relief, to have someone to turn to in these troubles. Perhapd if she told him about that other bit of knowledge, the kiss, he would see more clearly than she could herself what was the right thing to do. She went out and upstairs to the drawing room to wait for Daphne Burners. BEHIND her. In the library, the heavy wine-colored damask cur tains parted. Daphne came out of the window recess quietly and rather slowly. Crossing to the table, she took a clgaret out of the silver box. She had a very long holder of am ber, bound with gold one of Robert Rede's presents; she fitted the clg aret Into It with cartful precision, all her thoughts elsewhere. When ahe had lit it, she went out of the room and up the stairs to the draw ing room, hor face without expres sion and her eyes no more than very faintly amused. Dinner passed off so calmly that the girl began to hope that her fat hor had listened to her after all. Daphne accepted her apology sweat- iy. "Of course. 1 quite understand. I .often do it myself. You didn't notice the time. It doesn't matter in the least; we can shop tomorrow In stead, can't we?" Not a single ques tion about that lunch, not a word about the honeymoon plan! Before the evening was over Alison found herself wondering If she had matte too much fuss. It was not until the next day at one o'clock that anything happened. THEY were all three up In the boudoir, looking at patterns and approving Daphne's Ann) choice. "Rather nice," Robert always agreed amicably on such points. He knew nothing of furnishings and cared less. He took a chocolate from the box beside Daphne and said, "I say, these are good! Your own mak ing?" "I made them specially for you They're all the nutty kind that you like." "You're a marvel!" He offered them to Alison, who could say truthfully that they were tho best that sha had ever eaten. But she sighed. They had been two hours choosing! Daphne seemed to like to keep them both there, centered on her affairs. But tft'o hours of such compara tive calm that Alison really felt quite safe when, at once, sne giancea at hei wrist watch, just back from the jeweller's and said casually, "I do love that last pattern. It's the nicest one you've tried. I must rush off now, I've got to lunch but 1 prom ise you I won't be late this time." Her voice was cordial, for she was thinking, "In two or three minutes, I'll be seeing him again! Ob, what a comfort!" Comfort? A tfny stab of doubt fol lowed the thought. Was It really no it m m4-: i , "j Mr An n ? frm&y&mt mam ilssiilif .-iitO.Sl .X,,. - :A.ii 1 :'J WV Daphne came out quietly and slowly. more than friendliness, this longing to see him. tell him all abimt her troubles? After all, In mere time, he was a stranger, yet she did not think of him like that! It seemed the most natural thing In the world to tell him what she would not have told anyone else. "'Bye, darling." She waved to Daphne and ran to the door. "Alison!" Hor father spoke gravely. "Yes?" With her hand on tho door, she turned, "What?" "I want a word with you." She came hack Into ths room slowly, her face growing pale. What now? "Did you lunch jesterda with that young architect fellow, whats-bls-name?' Robert Rede was al ways simple and direct. "Guy Wcsturn?" Alison could not help a glance at Daphne, but she was sitting on tl:s flrsr turn ins over her lapful of patterns, her face totally expressionless. Robert went on sternly. "You're off to lunch with him again today." It was a statement, not a question. "Yes." She could not guess how he knew hut she threw It back de fiantly. "Well, you're not to! You're not to mce him again. I forbid it. Under stand?" Ho put thnt quietly enough yet between them that special tone had always meant an order that must he obeyed. "But why? I must know why!" Alison was white now as the wall be hind her. "Because I've found out all about him," said her father. "And he's not a fit person for you to know." (Copyright. fl.tS, E'fyn 3f.

Visual In struction for all CCO boys In Medford district camps Is assured for the summer period according to word ie celved here from district co-ordlnalor D. E. Wledman, who has arranged to make Medford headquarters a clear ing house for the exchange of educa tional films between companies and all available sources of supply. Dr. Wledman, who has been grad ually building up the number of ed ucational films available at head quarters for distribution to camps, recently received permission to place 25 sets of forestry films at the dls- I posal of Medford camps. He now has enough films on hand to permit each camp to show four reels once a week. Other film sources tapped Include the Bureau of Mines and Oregon State College. Progressive Medford district pro vided for weekly movies in every camp as early as December, 1034, but most of the pictures shown so far have been purely recreational. Dr. Wledman's dream of following the path blazed by President Maynard Hutch Ins, when that youthful educa tor Instituted visual instruction at Chicago University ,1s Just now materialized. The district has been divided Into zones for the efficient Interchange of films so that everybody assigned to a Medford camp will see some phase of the drama of American Industry displayed on the silver screen once a week. 3, Wondering umE-fnEk. the BOtfOrt IS INSIDE.
