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

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.

SALEM, June 12. -(AP) Jessie O.
Northrop, nurse of P. J. 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.
