PAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDPOKU, OREGON. SUNDAY. .TUNE 16. 1935 8YXOPBI8: Alison Red at last haa defied Daphne turner, the iro man mho i about to marry Ali son'a father. Alison telle Daphne ind hr father that the woman is marrying htm for hit money and that she is in love with someone else. Then aha run from the room to meet (iuy Weaturn, apainat ichom Daphne haa made many in.' ainuationa. Guy says ha la an archi tect ; Daphne any a he ia n ahady doctor from the Riviera. They tire perturbed by a newapaper atory telling of the finding of a body in Daphn' Sussex house. Chapter 29 "I'M A DOCTOR" BUT Alison could not suifU t the grim Joke; she was staring down it the paper dazedly as she repeated, "How could anything be there?" "I tell you, there must be some way In and out, some way we didn't And," said Guy. "You mean, you don't think that It happened the night we were there ?" "No, I don't. It's stark Impossible. We'd have seen a dead kitten, let alone a man's corpse, even apart from the fact that we were looking for the ghost. And there wasn't any thing there when you went down next morning." "I didn't look right round," admit ted Alison. "I only went straight through to turn the light off, but even then " "Even then, you'd hardly have missed a body! There's a picture of the house, by the way, on the mid dle parte." She opened the paper and looked; It was impossible to mistake the houtie. The great fold of the downs on one side, the drop into the valley on the other and the road that wound past the two gates, it was queer and rather horrible to look at It again and realize that those dark, eerie cellars held a dead man. Alison shuddered. The memory of the grey thing outside the door, of those two nail-less hands reaching towards her, was still too poignant to be comfortable. The traffic had started again and they were running down Piccadilly towarda Regent Street aa she said, "I don't know what my father's going to think when he sees this." "Your father?" "Yes. You aee " she paused, won dering how she could put it. "I told you that he bad some silly Idea In his head that there was something funny about you It'a her fault really." "Your stepmother's?' "Yes. You aee, she's been making mischief again." Alison grew hot and red. "She bates me and ahe wants to make trouble, that's all. So she hit on this because ahe knew H'd hurt me because we were friends." She ended that sentence rather quickly. "You mean she tried to atop you soiling me?" "She got father to forbid me," "Now?" "Yes. But I told him point blank that I was coming. You aee I had to aee you." "About the thing you rang up labout last night?" "Yes." Piccadilly waa torn np; they were following the stream of cars that circulated slowly by Jermyn Street. I Alison, her eyes on the 'bus ahead, gave him a brief account of her visit to Kulham. She had reached that Imoment when she looked Into the lighted room, when he stopped her. J" JUST one moment Can you tell ; J what this fellow was like?" "The man who was kissing her?" "Yes." '11e was dark. Foreign looking. 'Not quite French or anything like that. Mora like Italian." "Or Spanish?" "Yes. Or Spanish," she agreed. "Very straight features, very nar row head, a little black moustache, eyebrows that met level across bis aosp?" "You know him?" Alison ex claimed. "Yea. I think so. Go on." He seemed nervous now, wrought up and breathless. "There wasn't snythlnjc more. I Just went as quirk as I could. "Did you speak shout It to her? Or to your father?'' "Not in so many words. It seemed too like" "Spying." he flnfuhed. Alison nodded. "So she doesn't know at si that you've got this on her?" "No." He was silent a minute, thinking deeply, driving at a hand's psce. then putting down the hrske, and she had time to look at him, think ing, "I love him even when be frowns like that." He looked up sud denly and caught hrr glance. For an Instant neither spoke but be cAUght in his breath sharply aa one doea who marvels, and a dark! red flush spread slowly up bis race. Their eyea were on each other, say ing amazing, wonderful things. Then their hands met They sat like that held by the miracle of It "Alison?" The traffic signal lifted. His hand dropped hers and leaped hack to the wheel. They turned out and to the left into Lower Regent Street "I'm sorry. I'd no right to do that" He spoke in a very low and husky tone, much moved. "I don't see wby not," said Alison. "I I did too." 'All the same, I'd no right to," he insisted. "I didn't mean to tell you. I suppose you knew I felt like that about you." "I guessed," ahe admitted. "I couldn't help It, could I?" he smiled at her rather whimsically. "I fell In love with you the very flrat minute, when you got so cross with me." "On all fours on the pantry floor!" Alison's laughter waa full of sheer happiness. "Yea! You looked so adorable. So furious!" "I waa rabid with you!" "I know. You nearly bit my head off." "You deserved It! "For atopplng you yelling?" "For pinching my nose!" "What else could I do? I'd got to stop you somehow. I didn't want them to hear and ask what I waa doing there" He stopped suddenly. A LISON looked np, surprised; they were turning Into Glass house Street. "Them to hear?" she repeated, "but there was no one." It happened so suddenly that ahe had no tlmo to think. A grubby little girl of about four, darting from a doorway almost beneath their wheels the car swerving violently, missing the child, crashing Into a lamp-post, which bmt, hitting the top. Scared, the child Jumped back. The off-wheel of a truck coming up behind them, took the little thing and flung It up into the air. "Oh!" Alison's hands went to her eyes, shutting out the picture as the child fell, hitting the roadway. When she lookod back the truck had run up onto the walk. The driver, white and sick-look-log, was climbing out. A crowd had gathered as crowds do In London, springing from nowhere; a knot of shocked and curious loafers, a mes senger boy, a woman who waa cry ing and trying to push hr way through. Guy was out of the car, running across the road and Alison scrmnbllng out, followed. "Truck knocked down a kid," said a greasy looking man Importantly. Guy pushed him aside. "All right. I'm a doctor." He droppod on his knees beside the fallen child and the crowd, press ing round, shut him off from Alison. Some minutes later, when the am bulance had carried away the child, bruised and cut hut not seriously the worse, Guy brushed down his mudrilnd trouser knees and looked round for Alison. She was gone. A doctor! Then he had been lying lying when he told her that he was an architect, down there to look at the Croft House." That was Alison's first numbed thought as she stood In the road on the outskirts of the thickening crowd which surrounded Ouy and the child. A pack of lies; but why should be He unless the story which Daphne told was true? 'I won't believe ltl I don't believe that he's the same man. anyway. she thought fiercely. "There must be some other reason perhaps it's Just that he's had training In first aid or something." A hell rang shrilly bahtnd bar and she was swept aside by the crowd on the pavement aa the ambulance drove up and two men In the white and blue of St John's sprang out For an Instant, as the crowd parted Into a narrow lane, she caught a glimpse of Guy, on his knees, the lit tle girl, with closed eyes and white face, resting in the crook of his left arm; then the solid wall of bodies closed back and she was moved again by a policeman who waa try ing to keep the road clear. The two men from the ambu lance carnn out. carrying the child an a stretcher; Guy was Just behind them with another policeman who was taking nolns, while beside him the driver of the lorry, white and shaky, kept repeating. "This gentle man saw me 'twasn't my fault In an sgltated and monotonou squeak. (Cpyrljt, t9.li, gtelyi V. WmrM Allaong turtden flight Is x pUintd, tomorrow.
