JfEDFORD MAIL TRTBTTXE, MEDFORD, OREGOX, FRIDAY, .TTJXE 21. 1933, SYNOPSIS: Alteon Rede " learned that the man In whoee arms she had eeen her lather's tlanrSe it to be on the game boat with her father, Daphne, and hereelt when they eait tor opatn alter the wed dina tomorrow. Daphne, her atep-mother-to-be . ie obviously platino a game, and Alison must think of a way to warn her lather. Guy l,vm leu. who might have helped. Altton will not aek because the believee he hae lied to her. Chapter 84 po:ntblank question TTTHY, yes, Senor Uompez, we're ''off tomorrow." Daphne Sumera answered. "I'm getting married, you (enow, and we mean to catch the aft rnoon boat." "That Is fortunate for me, alnce I ihall be on the game train." He said that direct to Alison and underlined H with a languorous, caressing glance that made her turn abruptly away. But even with her head turned, her eyeB on Daphne, she could (eel him watching her and her repulsion grew. "You'll be on that train?" Daphne's surprise was shrill, yet Alison felt sure she had arranged the whole thing. "You're leaving England at once, then?" As he did not answer, she repeated sharply, "Are you leaving England ?" "What? Oh, yes. I must get back to work." mothering, protective Instinct ot a woman, latent In the girl, rose ati the thought of letting Robert marry Daphne Burners. But had she the courage to tell him outright, chance his anger and disbelief? Or should she speak herself to Daphne? The curtain fell. Robert got up and went out to smoke. Alison sat very still In her corner. Daphne was lying back In her chair, the Immense fox collar ot her evening coat like a huge arch behind her sleek black bead with its little crown of curls. She sat playing with the long gold chain ot ber mesh bag, her gaze drifting slowly across the crowded rows below. It stopped at the end ot the tblrd row, rested there, and Alison almost! exclaimed aloud. It was as if Daphne' had turned into another person. At one moment hard, self-possessed, cynical, the next her whole face soft ening, the thin Hps drooping sadly, the eyes filled with hungry longing and with love. J IT was scarcely necessary for All son to look down and see who sat In that end seat "She loves Gompez, Just as I 1ot Guy!" And with that thought her natural generous sympathy came uppermost. She could pity Daphne and she wondered in a bewildered i 1 1. i ' ' 'I Wriiliwm ir Hiannfaigr)iirHifiTWiiiiiHHPtMf ill I hi iiimiwm mwMWWwpwuitMnii wrinmtmi-iiirnw m Gompez bent low over Daphne's hand. But though ho said thnt smoothly. Daphne had seen him Hlart and drag his gazo away from the girl. She flashed a took at Allaou and a heavy red color stole Into her bony checks. "It's certainty a mistake not to attend to buMnosR," she agreed; even Alison caught the acid note be hind that. He rose at once. "There Is the hell. I must get back to my seat Au rovotr, Madame." Ho bent low over Daphne's hand and kissed It, "Au rovotr, Mademoiselle." He went out with a gliding, undu lating movement which reminded Alison of a snake. When the door bad shut, Daphne satd In nor most plntntlve, nnanl dro 'IIeB really nice, Gompez; bo's not a Spaniard, though. 1 be lieve he Is a Colombian or some thing, paulsh'Amerlcan anyway, but he was a wonderful friend to me when 1 bad trouble over my pass ports once. That's why I'm so glad to be able to recommend him and use his hotel now." Tim curtain had gone up again; Robert bad come back Into the box and wus sitting between his daughter and fiancee. Alison, shel tered by her father from Daphne's keen eyes, leaned forward looking at the stage, although she neither board a word or saw tho actors. Her whole mind was concentrated on a slnglo Issue: how could she warn her father? For It had coine to that now. To cheat him like that! For Gom pez and Daphne were In lore; Apart from tho kiss. Daphne had given herself away by the acid note In her voice and the Hush on her faco. and Alison found It dttllcult to disguise her own contempt whrn Daphne spoke to ber at nit. How could she let ber own father walk blindfold into such a trap. All son asked hcrsclr, staring wide-eyed yet unseeing at tho stage. How could she put him on his guard? If she told him her belief, he would merely scoff nt the Idea and be angry, put it down to jealousy, or be shocked she should think such things. Daphne had primed him too well. And tonuiiTOw, at half pn.t one, they would be married. All the NEW DEAL SPENDING RAPPED BY HAWLEY way. It she loved Gompes so much, why did she not marry him. Attor all, she was a widow and froel Impulsively, Alison spoke. "Daphne?" The hard expression snapped back Into pluce as If released from a spring. "Yes?" Mrs. Sumera picked np her glasses and looked through them at the box opposite. "Oh, my dear! Look nt (hat woman! Did you ever seo such a llgure!" "Daphne, will you tell me one thing?" Tho kIushos dropped. "Hmm. What?" "Is Senor Gompez married?" "What an extraordinary ques tion!" Although she laughed, there was a hint of fear In Duphno's eyes. "As a matter of fact. 1 don't believe he Is. Why do you ak?" "1 wondered . . .' Always shy, the girl was suffering acutely under thoso pointedly amused eyes. "Don't tell me you've fallen In love with him at first sight!" Daphno's laugh was shrill and un pleasant. "Of course not. I dldu't even Alison stopped, confused. "Then why do you want to knw It he Is married?" Thero was a faint breath lessness In that ques tion. It was dllhYult, hideously dlllk-ult; Alison pulled her courage round her like a cloak, forced herself to speak bluntly. "I only wondered why you didn't marry him, that's all." "What on earth do you mean?" Words which dropped out slowly. "Nothing. Only well, tho day be fore yesterday I naw you kiss him. In your flat." Alison got H out breathlessly. "And tonight I could seo that you were In love with blra and oh!" Her votes fnlled. She shrank back against the sllk-llned wall of the box In sheer panic. Kor the thin, bony face opposite had contorted Into snarling anger, pallid so that the reddened lips stood out like a clown's paint. Rut It was Daphne's eyes which made Alison ltqncera back defensively. (Copyright. 1933. Fvelyn St Winch Aliaon f ji Ms, tomorrow, to corner Daphne. PORTLAND.
