JfEDFORD MAIL TRIBUXE, MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY. JUNE 20. 1935- PAGE TEX ETyOPSlB: Alison Iteat races this dilemma: she is convinced that Daphna Sumers is marrying Robert Rede, Alison's father, tor hie money. She believes Daphne tot be on adventuress, and in Guy Wee turn she thought she had an ally. But Daphne has said Guy's, real name is Lumley, and Alison finds Daphne is correct. She catohes Guy in other untruths. Nolo iclth her father bemused by Daphne, Daphne an enemy, and Guy apparently a liar the harried Alison hears Guy demanding to see her. "l WON'T keep her a minute" I "What'i all this? What'a all tils 7" Robert had Joined In. drowning Guy's voice and Ferter's stately re ply. "What? What? What're you doing here? Heh?" "I want to speak to Miss Rede Just for a minute." "She'a busy. Bhe can't see you." Her father's gruffest tone. "I can wait" "No need to watt. I tell you, my daughter can't see you." "If you'll Just allow me to see her for one moment and explain " But Guy was not even allowed to finish Robert exploded. "Explain? Explain what? There's nothing whatever to explain. You earn Into this bouse on false pre tences yes, on false pretences and you won't do It again! No, don't interrupt me! Most dlsgracerul con. duct! Ouly what one might expect, I suppose, but I can tell you, If I was a younger man "Alison!" Guy took two steps cross the hall towards her. She bad come down the stairs and was stand ing at the foot of them, torn by her feelings, uncertain what to do. "Alison, leave this to me!" and to Guy: "Now! Get out before 1 send tor the police!" ordered her father. Robert was red as a turkey-cock and bristling; Guy looked so white, so haggard and worried that It gave her a fresh shock. He had no hat on and was wearing the same clothes that he had had on when she left him In the street, but now he had a desperate air and he did not give an Inch. Disregarding her father, he poke to Alison in a quiet, Incisive Tolce. "I must speak to you." "What do you want to say?" She (lanced apprehensively at Robert, who snorted. "If you could spare me one minute lone?" Robert broke In. "I forbid you to do anything of the kind! Go and wait with Daphne and let me deal with this this " He choked back the last word, glowering at Guy. But Alison stood her ground. "Just a moment, father." And to Guy. "If you've anything to say, I think you'd better say It here." They had tbe hall to themselves; Ferter, with the discretion of a good servant, had retired, probably to listen from behind the balie door. "Well?" barked Robert. "I only want to say this," Guy spoke to Alison; when he stood like that, so near and looking at her, he felt herself weakening. "You've found out, of course, that what I told you wasn't true. I can under stand your being angry. But will you believe me when I tell you that I had a perfectly sound reason for not telling the truth? It's rather a lone tory and I can't tell it to you now he glanced quickly at Robert, who atood swelling with barely reined anger, "but can you believe that?" "T DON'T know." Alison was honest. Difficult not to believe him when he stood there, looking like a pent tent schoolboy. Yet "Could you Just try?" There was faint glimmer of hope In his eyes now. "Nonsense. Don't listen to the fel low, Alison!" her father broke In. "Haven't we heard enough about him?" "Would you mind telling me, sir. what you have heard?" Guy's voice was cool, harder than his own. "I've heard enough to damn you In the eyes of any decent person!" Robert flung it at him. "I don't won der that you're ashamed to use your own name." "Would you mind being little more explicit?" Cool and dungorous The pale blue eyes had a fighting glitter In them now. Robert snorted like an angry bull "Perhaps you'll understand if I tell you that I've heard all about a lady named Trevor," he retorted. "Ah! May I ask who told you that particular untrue and slanderous tory?" Guy seemed unmoved, ex cept for a faint hint of menace In his level voice. "You may. But I'm under no obll gatlon to answor." Robert snapped. "You didn't hear It by any chance from a Mrs. de Gouy. or she may call herself Poynter?" "Never heard of her!" declarer Robert. "Now If we're don per haps " "Alison?" Guy took a step towardi her. "Do you believe that I'm thai sort of person?" She hesitated, desperate, hardlj knowing what to say. Hints.- lies, gossip when he stood there by her she didn't believe that he was really bad, and yet there was so much thai had not been explained! In her dilemma, while her father made Impatient noises and Guy stood there waiting, she seized on some thing which she herself knew. "Will you tell me one thing?" "Anything." He said It readily. "That desk was shut when you and I telephoned. You you didn't open It?" Her eyes appealed, Implored him to say 'no'. "I did. But If you'd give me a chance to see you alone, explain the whole thing" He broke off, for Alison had turned away. "You won't even listen?" he pleaded. "I don't think there's any more to say, Is there?" she answered and went Into the library. A moment later she heard the front door shut; sound that fell upon her, like a weight, heavily. SHE was glad, yes, very glad, that she was going with her father and Daphne to Spain. To get away from London, beyond the chance of seeing him again. That was her thought as she sat In the theatre trying bard to con centrate upon the dullest of recent farces. Her father was laughing heartily; from time to time he glanced at her with a touch of an xiety, and asked, "Enjoying It? hopefully. "Awfully, declared Alison nn truthfully. What was the good of saying anything else? But the cur tain falling on the first act was at leaBt a respite: her father went out of the box and she was free to be silent. Daphne bad pair of glasseB levelled and was searching the house; she looked as bored as Alison felt. A sharp rap at the door of the box made her turn. "Come In." "I saw you sitting here and won dered If I might Introduce mysell again. You don't remember me. Madame, perhaps?" He bowed low over the hand that Daphne held out. was looking up Into her eyes. "Of course I do! " she said warmly. "Alison, I must Introduce you. Thli Is Sonor Gompez my fiance's daugh ter, Miss Rode." Alison bowed gravely to the man whom she had last seen In a base ment room, holding Daphne In hit arms: while Daphne herself rattled on, "What's brought you over to Lon don? You don't often desert your own country! Alison, Senor Gompej owns the lovely hotel where Boh and 1 are going for our honeymoon." Daphne was going to spend her honeymoon in the hotel belonging to her lover! Alison's confusion must have shown in her face, for she met Senor Gomper' eyes fixed on her with swift Intorest. But Daphne noticed nothing, for she rattled on. "Such a delightful spot. You'll love It, Alison. It was originally an old Spanish farm house, but Senor Compel bas turned It Into the most charming little ho tel you ever saw. I don't think I've ever seen anything so attractive. It's only two years since he bought the place but It's getting quite well known already, Isn't It?" "Oh, I hope so." The man's big, velvet-dark eyes bad not left Ali son's face. In his own way, he was exceedingly good-looking, but the type was not one that appealed to Alison: she thought that he ap peared both conceited and effemi nate. But now her mind was busy on something else. "You know the hotel well?" She put the question casually enough to Daphne. "Oh, yes, that's why I'm longing for you to see It," Daphne replied at once. Alison had the sense of being threatened by an unseen danger which comes sometimes when a per son Is moving In the dark. Surely Daphne had said she hsd not seen the place since she was quite a girl? Yet It now seemed she had been there within two years! What wa she playing at, and what part In the game belonged to this slender, smooth faced, sallow young man? "You are going there, Madame?" He put that to Daphne but he was still looking at Alison, gating at her with an admiration which she foun'1 embarrassing. (Copyright, DSS, Bxelyn 31.
