Thm girl euspects other and worse things about Daphne. But Daphne has her fa ther entirely fooled, and Aliton has only one, person to turn to. He ia Guy Westurn, a young man who has done her a great servire. Rhe is slipping out to mert him at lunch when her father forbtdt her to go. Chapter 28 BITTER SCENE lTfHAT'VE you been taring?' " Alison whirled round upon paphne, her eyes blazing with In 1 gnat ton. "Never mind that' Robert inter rupted quickly. "It's got nothing to 5o with Daphne. It's I who lay that you must not" "But you know nothing about him. Row can you? You're only leen him once," Alison protested. I know him quite enough." "What hare you heard?" she de manded. "I'd rather not talk about that' be began, but Alison cut in. "You must tell me!" "Surely It's enough If I "No!" She could not control her anger now. "You order me not to meet him, you say he's not a fit friend for me. It's unreasonable! I must know why." Daphne was still sitting on the floor beside the sofa, her long pink tipped Angers lazily turning the lengths of cloth but now Alison caught a quick look flashed between her and Robert; a warning glance that said, "Bo firm!" Alison's eyes became hard. "Well?" she snapped. "My dear girl, surely you ean trust me. Don't you think you'd better Just take my word?" Robert was unhap py; he had never seen his quiet and gentle girl In this mood and It was not easy to be firm. "No." With an Immense effort, she controlled her voice, spoke coolly. 'Tm not going to take your word, father, or anybody else's with out knowing why. If you'll tell me what he has dona I can Judge. "Aren't you making rather a fuss orer a mere acquaintance?" put In Daphne sweetly. "I'm talking to my father." It was rude but Alison did not care. "I think you're made enough mischief already!" "Alison!" protested Robert "I know. But I don't want to hear what she's got to say! I'm asking you to tell me. What has he done?" Robert shifted uneasily; Daphne's ayes wore on him faintly mocking. Alison was glaring at him, her eyes dark with rage. He coughed and bullied. "The man's a crook, my dear," "All right. He's a crook then. But a hat has he done?" 'I'll tell you!" Daphne swung sud denly to her feet, scattering the pat terns across the floor. "He calls htm lelt Guy Westurn, doesn't he? That's Dot his name. His real name's Guy Lumloy, and he didn't dare to tell rou that, because he was afraid you might find out the truth about him I He's only too well known you seel He said he was an architect, didn't he? It's not true. He Is, ha was a doctor. A doctor who Just escaped being struck off the register, my dear!" "How do you know all this?" Ali son was dangerously quiet now. "TTOWT Because he had a practice out on the Riviera, at Nice, when I was out there, before he went smash. As a matter of fact, I was warned against htm by some friends of mine." Daphne was cool, slightly con temptuous. "There were stories, even then. After I left, th whole thing came out and he had to chuck up his practice!" "What whole thing?" "I really think, dear broke In Robert, 'that you must leave It at that. If Daphne told you, you prob ably wouldn't understand." "Do you think I'm as silly as all that?" Alison gave a little harsh laugh. "Even then, I think you ought to admit that older people have some sense, dear," Daphne's tone was smooth. "Your father wouldn't Inter fere without enough reason." My fathcr'd believe anything you told him!" Alison flung the truth at hor. Daphne lot It pass with a faint gesture of despair; it was Robert who burst out angrily with "Rally, Alison!" "I dnn't care It's true! Ever slnre 1 got home, she's been trying to make trouble between me and you!" Now that It had come, the girl let herself gc She was on the verge of DETROIT.

She's afraid I might tell you" She stopped short, choking the words back, half afraid of what Bhi bad said. "Tell me what? You're being ut terly Billy I' Robert was stern, al most as pale as the girl. " tell you that It's not you sh loves, and that she's marrying you for money!'' It was out now. There was a com plete silence, the appalled silence which follows when a bomb has burst. Alison's hands and feet felt Icy cold, ber tears seemed to have dried up, frozen; she was shaking all over. She said in a low, tense voice, "1 don't care. It's true! And If she wanted to get even with me, she needn't have taken this mean, round about way." "Listen, AllBon!" Robert's hand fell on her shoulder and he swung her round to face him. He was breathing quickly and his eyes were steel-hard. Daphne had turned away and had her back to them. "Listen, you're behaving quite unforgivably! When Daphne realised who this young man was, she came, quite rightly, to me." "How could she know? She's never seen him!" "I saw him the first day he came here, In the drawing room with you," put in Daphne evenly. "But you didn't come down oh! You mean, you you crept down and listened." Alison choked. "T CAME down behind you. You did not see me, you were too occupied." Daphne's voice was like a knife. "I was on the stairs when you went out. I recognized the man at once." "You listened and spied on me and then came to father!" "She came very proporly to me as soon as she bad made certain," said Robert furiously. ' "Why didn't she toll me, If she thought that?" 'Because you're a child, my dear. and too young to deal with things like this." "If I bad, you'd have thought I was Interfering, " thrust in Daphne sharply. In any case, she was quite right, Robert was growing firmer every minute. "This Westurn or whatever he calls himself Is not the sort of person you should know at all, the last person to have lunch with atone. I don't like that, Alison. That you should have had lunch with him without letting me know. It wasn't playing the game." Because Alison's conscience pricked hor on that one point, she could not answer, Robert went on with rigidly controlled anger. I was surprised, yes, and hurt, when Daphne told me that you had met him and were meeting him again." How did she know"?" It was a challenge. Robert hesitated. Daphne cut in quickly. "A friend of mine saw you to gether." Who?" "Does that matter?" MA11 right, then, where?" Alison did not try to conceal hor dtsbellof. "We'ro getting off the point," Rob ert was Impatient, "The point Is. that I forbid you to see thnt follow again, or to have anything to do with him. Is that clear?" "I'm sorry." She wasn't angry now; not even Indignant All her heat had been lost in an Icy coldness which seemed to All her, leaving her hard, calm, firm. You mean, you're not going to obey mo?" Robert was Incredulous, slightly hewlldored. In all his deal ings with his daughter he had never had to face her In this mood. "That's exactly what I mean. You don't choose to tell me what he's supposed to have done." Daphne laughed. "Supposed! My dear child, Dr. Lumley was notorious!" "Notorious for what?" Daphne gave a quick apologetle glance towards Robert as she re plied, "For his behavior towards women patients if you must know specially girl patients!" I don't believe It!" The words burst out. Daphne shrugged her shoulders patiently. "Quite hopeless," that small gesture said, and very point edly. Rut Robert Intervened angrily. (Copyright, I9SS, Evelyn M.

Kelly prior to the latter's death, was denied a bequest of 4fi.OOO by the Oregon supreme court yesterday in a will contest appeal from Multnomah county. The opinion by Justice George Roasman affirmed Judge George Tazwell. The suit was brought by heirs oi Kelly, who left an estate valued in excess of 90,000, of which, in his will signed a week before his death, he had bequeathed about $45,000 to Mrs. Northrop. The will was contented on the ground Mrs. Northrop had used "coercion, duress, undue Influence and fraud." while acting in a confidential capacity toward the deceased. Kelly died October 18, 1933. The other beneficiaries of the will included two brothers and a nephew, who brought the suit against Jessie Northrop. In the opinion of Justice Roasman stated evidence showed that the re lationship between Kelly and the nurse was "more than platonlc and friendship. It Is our belief the rela tionship was Illicit and meretricious." The opinion held further that "we are satisfied that Mrs. Northrop over a long perlM of time was lmportun- Jng Kelly to make a will In ber favor." The will was set aside In Us entirety.
