PAGE SIX JIEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON', MONDAY, JUNE 17, 1935. syNOPStB: Daphne Burner, the woman who it to marry AUaon lerde'a father, has accused Guy Weaturn of being Dr. Guy Lumley, n shady physician. Alia on, who loves Guy, denies the oharoa, and adds that Daphna la marrying Mr. Heda for hia money. Alison ia tell ing Guy of the quarrel when a truck atrikrt a little girt just ahead of Gup' 9 ear, Guy rushes to aid the girl saying, ' doctor." Chapter 30 OR. LUMLEY 'IS she badly hurt?" Alison put the question to a woman with a bat tered straw hat who was working her way out of the front rank a fat woman with a motherly face. "Doctor in there says she's all right." the woman replied promptly, "but she's had a nasty knock, pore little thing." Alison squeezed forward a bit she must get hold of Guy. "Stand back there, please. Don't keep crowding In." The policeman swept his arm out like a barrier, re peatlng his warning Impartially to the whole ccowd. Alison, on the other side of the blue, outstretched arm tried to catch Guy's eye, but he was busy, answering the questions of the second policeman and he did not even look towards her, though she was a bare foot away. "If you'd give me your name and address, sir " The stub of pencil and the fat notebook were In wait ing. "My name's Lumley. Dr. Guy Lura ley. And the address is care of Dr. Dundas " AliBon did not waft to hear more. Guy Lumley. Daphne was rlghtl She flung her head up blindly, turned and pushed past the crowd, round the first corner, conscious of nothing except a sick longing to get away quickly. She walked so fast that she was almost running aa she sped blindly through the little dirty streets which make a maze of Soho. Greasy-looking loungers at the street corners and blowsy women who went bare headed In shawls stared at her as she hurried past the low, grey, grimy houses, the garlic-scented stores and the eating-houses which wafted an odor of cabbage and stale fat A taxi hooted at her angrily to get out of the road, a man with a barrow load of flowers swore at her aa he veered out of the way. Alison did not hear either. Walking with a loose-swinging stride, her face white, her grey eyes wide open and staring like those of a sleepwalker, she went blindly with j nothing In her mind but those bare facts: Guy had boon telling lies. lie was the man whom Daphne I had called notorious, the doctor who had lost his practice because of his ways with womon, with girls. Far down New Oxford Street, near the turning to the British Mu seum, she came out Into the tralho, and, slRhtlng a tnxl, hailed It Climb ing In, she ordered the driver to go on driving until she told him to stop. IT was long past five when Alison got out at the house In Chester Square, gave the taxi-driver a pound note and let herself In. She was calm enough now; much too calm, Shu felt as though some mainspring Inside her had broken, at If nothing could ever matter, any more. She pulled her hat off and walked straight Into the library. They had finished tea. Daphne sat on the sofa, curled up with six. cushions stacked behind her head; j Robert was standing by the fire place, looking grave, a newspaper In his hand. They both looked round aa she came in. She could not see herself; bad made no effort to got tidy and could not guess how distraught she looked with her hat off, her hair on end, her chocks stained with tears, her eyes red-rimmed and dark In her small, chalk-white face. She mma forward and stood stiffly, addressing Daphne like a person who recites a lesson. "I'm sorry. I apologize for what I aid. You were right He Is the man you thought. I I won't ever see him again!" With that she broke and ran out of the room. She was nearty at the top of the front staira when fc.er father, flying after her, caught her by the arm. "AliBon? My dear, what's hap pened?" She hacked out of hts grasp, said In the snme stiff, hard voice, "Noth ing. I Jtmt know, that's all." She ran then to her room, would have shut and locked the door but he was too quick for her, had his foot Inside and forced It open. NEWLYWED JAYS IE DESOLATE SARDINE CREEK. (8pU Misfor tune entered trie lives agaJn today of the two blue who efforts to iar a family In a fir tree on the ede of the old Dow property rwve been un fortunit from the atrt. They are now morose and lonely, these two blue-festhered creature mhose managing of their home life has heen outstandingly Inept, tor they have lost their only baby. Tho parent Joys displayed little wis dom at the tHvlnntnff of their marltsl relations. Tliey built their nest to low In a lean and spare tree that it was easily visible ani within reach of a person of average helfiht Nor was the neM. securely anchored, and It slanted more and more until all but one of the rolled out. Shortly arter tiu remaining aa hatched, the baby bird fell out of the neni. too, and was saved only by the sympath'tlc Intervention o( neighbor whoa attention was direct "No, let me In Alison dear, you must listen!" As she gave way he followed her Inside. "Listen, All son he's been round here while 1 was out" And In a low and troubled voice, "Child, you don't mean what you said? You don't really mean you you love the fellow?" He was looking tired and worried, at another time she might have thought of him but now she backed out of his reach and up against the bed. "Yes . . ." That In a whisper; then, a quick passionate cry, "Yes! But I'm not! I don't! He's just a common liar! I don't ever want to see him again. Oh!" She dropped on the bed, her face hidden, her head rocking on both arms as she crouched there crying. Her father looked down at her sob- shaken shoulders, deeply troubled. The door behind him opened and Daphne came gliding softly In. She did not speak; she looked from the girl weeping on the bed to Robert, a question In her eyes. He shrugged bis shoulders. "Alison, dear " She threw off his hand violently. "Can't you leave me alone?" SHE sprang from the bed, ran with averted face Into her bathroom and shut the door. The two waiting outside could hoar her splashing water on her swollon face and the slow, heavy sobs growing slower, further apart, until they ceased. Robert's eyebrows .signalled; Daphne shook her head. I shouldn't," she whispered. "Not yet She's too upset Tell her after dinner. Get her to take an aspirin and make her lie down." When Alison came out of the bath room, her face laved and powdered, she found her father alone nursing a bottle of aspirin. They were to dine early, at soven, as they were all going on to a play. By the time that Alison was dressed for dinner In her newest, Btlff faille dresB, with a huge bustle bow below the slim waistline at the back, all the traces of her storm were safely hidden. ' Daphne had been hack to her flat and had changed Into sleek mulberry satin, the jpllt skirt lined to the hem with turquoise blue; even Rob ert, In his dinner jacket with his grey moustache trimly flattened down, seemed to have recovered. As they sat down to dinner they were all three dotormlned to make the evening go smoothly. "Have you docldcd whore to got" she asked Daphne at the end of din ner. Thoy might have been three polite strangers meeting. "Why, yas. Wo've fixed every thing." Daplmo and Robert wero glancing at each other across the table with a congratulatory air. Alison could read those mcsnngos without words which said, "Good! Kho's come round. She's going to he sensible, It's all over." She felt faintly amused. It was very odd how nothing In the world made any difference now. Tho Idea of going to the Pyrenees, which had appalled nor, simply did not matter any more. If Daphne wanted It, she would go and would do her bost to make up for that scene In the morning by being pteasant. At least It would bo better for her father than to have them quarrelling, and If Daphne's love for him was just a sham well, was love ever anything else? Robert was almost jovial, "it's go ing to he delightful!" be announced. "I got the apodal license today and I've wired the hotel for rooms. I'd actually fixed to sail for Madeira but no one can s.iy that I'm not a good fiance! I've cancelled tickets, every thingfound the address of the Spanish hotel and got rooms and all at one day's notice! Only heaven knows what they'll he like. Don't blame me, Daphne. If you have to live on dry bread and garlic." "Don't worry," Daphne proniltied, "I've not been there since I was a young girl and the cooking's Span ish but superb, ami thescenery'squlte marvellous.
