Alison Rede haa iuet told Daphne Sumera. who ta to marry Aliaona lather tomorrow, that aha aaw Daphne kiaainp Benor Gompea and believea Daphne and Gompea ara lovara. Alteon her la ther and Daphne are to go tc Honor Gompez'e hotel In Bpain after the wedding Daphne'e expreaaton of hate haa frightened AllJon, who aticka by her guna. however. Chapter 36 DEFEAT :"70U must be mad!" Daphne's ; mouth forced Itself Into a smile; her heavy, darkened eyelids fell, boodlng the eyes beneath. "1 wouldn't have said anything, Alison could not keep her voice steady, "only well, It seemed so unfair to father." "You've told this story to your father?" It was an Incredulous gasp. "No. Not yet." She made herself bring that out bravely. "Let's get this straight." Daphne leaned forward, both hands gripping each other tightly on her knees. "You say you saw me kissing Mr Gompez?" "Yes!" Desperate now, Alison did not hesitate. "My dear child, you're quite cracked!" Daphne was almost tol erant. "1 haven't even seen Gompez for two years!" "But but 1 saw you!" Alison had a sense of complete ' bewilderment. Daphne's tone bad been so calm, so utterly certain! Surely she couldn't have made mistake? "I don't know what or whom you saw, but It wasn't me." Daphne stated It with flat conviction. "1 was only a few yards off. On the steps. 1 could see right In!" "Listen, Alison." Daphne's voice was low and level now, but there was menace In It "1 don't know what you think you're playing. You've made It pretty clear that you don . like me, that you're Jealous of me and that you'd like to make your lather break It off. But If you think you can do that by making up these malicious, quite Impossible stories well, you're mistaken!" "It was you! You were wearing that navy dress with red on it!" "Bolstering one tale with another doesn't help." There was grave re proof now In Daphne's flexible voice. "If you think you're going to your father with this story, you're not. I m going to toll him myself." "You kissed that man. And you're lh love with him. 1 saw you looking 'at him Just now." She was clinging to the one fact in this sea of words "Perhaps you would like to know that 1 spent the entire afternoon the day before yesterday at my dross- maker's and that I had a friend with me there who can vouch for the fact!" Alison shrugged her shoulders but .she did not answer. Daphne, breath ing hard, said bitterly, "Don't you ithluk you might apologize?" "'Apologize for what?" Robert bad come Into the box behind them land was looking from one angry ;face to the other. "What's wrong?" ! "I should ask Alison!" Daphne shot a spiteful look at her. I "What?" Robert was frowning Inow. "Nothing," said Alison. "That won't do!" Daphnes tone cut like a knife. "You'd better ropeat jto your father what you said to me." "1 thought Daphne was was in love with someone, that's all." She mumbled the words uncomfortably. "I thought 1 saw her kiss him. And well, I was mistaken!" CHE heard him catch his breath, u saw Daphne's hand go out and bis close on IL "I think we'd better leave this till we get home." he said with decision. "Far belter." agreed Daphne; she was leaning forward on both arms, the light from the stage fell on her face and she was looking down, with a slight smile, at the end seat of the third row of stalls. Alison said nothing. She had failed. They drove back In complete si lence from the theatre, the girl and Mrs. Sumers sitting together, with Robert opposite. There would be another row, of course, when they got back. Alison realised wearily. It would be no good trylug to make her father under stand that she had seen Daphne un mlslnkahly She must let things take 1 their course. I On the steps of the house. Daphne Hesitated. "'I think I'd better get off home." She let a tactful look accompany the words. "Nonsense!" Robert said fussily. '"Of course you must come In for a moment." "Just for one drink, then. Bob." Daphne yielded gracefully to his arm. "1 really am tired." But her step was springy enough as she walked across the ball and picked up some letters from the old oak chest. "Hullo? Estimate from the paper bangers?" tine went on towards the library wltb Robert but Alison did not follow. She slid out of ber coat, smoothed back her rain-wet hair, thinking. i Robert came out. J "Alison!" I She followed him obediently. Daphne was standing with ber back to the fire, both arms outspread along the mantelpiece, an expres sion of pained reproach upon her face. Robert took up a, position be side ber and the girl, facing them, felt that she had gone back to the schoolroom, to the days when one was "sent for" by the head mistress. "Daphne has been telling me what you said." Robert opened harshly; bis red, weather-worn face was set as If It was made of painted metal. "I don't pretend to understand what has come over you since you got back and I've only this to say 1 feel ashamed of you I From now on. please remember, 1 expect you to show Daphne the same respect and the Bame obedience that you would have shown your mother If she was still alive. That's all." All! Alison's soft lips curved Into a queer, grim little smile. But It was no good protesting; she was defeated. She said In a formal fash Ion, "I'll remember." She drew a slow breath before she added, "There's Just one thing, father." WELL?" Now that he had got oS his ultimatum, he let his siz zling Indignation burst "What else) Haven't you said enough?" "It's nothing to do with that." All son was careful not to look al Daphne. 'It's Just this. I'm not com ing wltb you to Spain." Daphne leaned far back against the mantelpiece, her head tipped back and leaning on the clock; she did not speak, yet ber half-closed eyes were on Robert, gazing at him almost as If she was compelling him by will. But Robert needed no compulsion. "You're not? My good child, you'll do exactly what you're told! You seem to Imagine that because you'vs left school you're at liberty to be as thoroughly objectionable and dis obedient as you choose! Well, you're wrongl And It's high time that you loarntto behave yourself ! You leave Victoria with us at two o'clock to morrow and that's that!" "You can't make me!" Alison's bands clenched but she.dld not raise her voice. Can't 1? What do you propose to live on?" Robert snapped back heat edly. "D'you Imagine you can earn your own living? Don't be such a little fool!" I'm not being a fool." She was very quiet now. "I don't want to hurt you and 1 don't want to be beastly, but I mean It I'd rather work aa a servant than go with her to Spain!" Daphne moved suddenly. Her arms dropped and she moved for- ward. She did not look at Alison. She said negligently, "Y'know, Bob, I'm afraid that 1 was right I'm going now, but 1 really do advise you to think over my suggestion. Such things do happen and well, it's not normal, Is It?" "You mean?" He looked so star tled that Alison could barely re strain herself from breaking in to ask what they meant His eyes veered to the girl with an expression of extreme anxiety and alarm. "Yes." Daphne picked up her bag and coat "1 can give you the name of a very good maid." Mystified, Alison looked from one to the other; they were grave, al most solemn. "Alison, my dear," her father was very gentle now. "My dear little thing, you mustnt let your Imag ination run wild Ilka this. 1 tblnk, perhaps. Daphne Is right A complete rest an absolute rest the moun-' tain alr'll do you good. We'll have word with the doctor before we leave tomorrow." Alison was staring at him wltb wide, norrftled eyes. "You you mean you think I'm mad?" she gasped. "No, no!" he crleo. shocked. "Of course 1 don't But girls of your sge well, they're apt to get worked up and excitable. We'll have three weeks a month. If necessary, of real holiday. Daphne'l! get hold of maid for you, and you shall do nothing. Just rest and then we'll all be as happy as can be." (Copyright. ItSI. Rvalyn Si.

Growers are advlaed by C. B. Cordy. Assistant County Agent and L. O. Centner. Entomologlat of the Southern Ore gon Experiment Station, to watch their treea carefully and apply sprays aa soon as blackened areas appear on the leaves. The mites work on the under sides of the leaves, causing them to turn brown and black and later to fait off. If not protected, trees may lose many leaves, which will affect the present season's fruit and also the formation of fruit buds for next year'a crop. Anjou and Bosc varieties usually show the first Injury. The following materials are recom mended: On pears use a light medi um summer oil at the rate of one and one-fourth gallons to 100 gallons of water. On apples use one and one half gallons of light summer oil emulsion to 100 gallons of water. It Is necessary to cover thoroughly the undersides of the leaves In order to obtain control. The mites multiply very rapidly, therefore, a few of them missed by the spray will soon rein feat the trees. Rust mites are also present In many pear orchards, causing russetlng of the fruit around the blossom end. and a bronze appearance on the un Her aides of the young leaves. Anjou Ye Poet's Corner T. William Lewis Peaceful be your silent slumber, Peaceful In the grave so low: You no more will Join our number, You no more our sorrow know. You were always bright and cheer ful And your duties never shirked; Always peaceable and willing; tho The duties sometimes Irked. Do we wish you back? No never. You are free of toil and strife, You have earned the peace you Entered In the upper better life. For the loved ones left behind you We offer allent prayer That their grief on earth be sof tened And they meet you over there. CIGARETTE PRICE SET E0R2C BOOST NEW YORK, June 22. ( AP W. A.
