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.
