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

nothing. Just rest and then we'll all
be as happy as can be."

10 KEEP EYE OUT
FOR SPIDER MITE
Spider mites have, appeared on
pear treea in some orchards and
leaves are showing Injury. 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.
