PAGE SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKD. OREGON. MONDAY, JULY 1, 1935. Uunpttr LIES LUMLEY told me himself." VJ there were two bright pink spots In Alison's cheeks, two dames 3t anger, "that you bad whisked four husband off In an airplane be sause you were afraid." "I know! Thafi his story. The itory he told everyone." Daphne was tragically patient. "That 1 wanted to to Snlsh wbat I'd begun nd so I carried my husband away! (t never seemed to strike Lumley that apart from anything else I'd not much motive, considering that hla death left me a beggar!" "You didn't know about the an nuity until your husband was dead!" Alison flung that at her. "You said so yourself. In a restaurant to that man Compel!" "Did Dr. Lumley say that?" Daphne seemed almost shocked. She turned back to Robert pitifully. "You know, I don't believe there's anything that he could say that be hasn't said against me! He's a very convincing liar! And he bates me like poison! Why he's even been down to Scotland Yard, prying about and trying to And out If he could get hold of any gossip against me! And then coming down to my house the other night!" "You know perfectly well that you sent him there!" Alison could not hold herself In. "I did? My dear, why on earth should I?" Daphne was almost bland. "Do be sensible, Alison! You may dislike me. but yon can't Imagine that I'd be such a tool as to send a man who hated me to pick up gossip to use against me!" "You sent him down to Warley be cause you hoped I'd get killed." "Alison!" Her father thundered that A reproachful little cry from Daphne. "Alison! You promised me you wouldn't tell any more lies If I told the truth!" She turned hurriedly on Robert. "That's wbat I mean, Bob. He's absolutely poisoned tbe child's mind against me, so that she'd believe anything! I think If be told her that I meant to kill you or kill her, she'd believe that! He's taught her to look on me as a sort of monster." "Alison doesn't believe anything of the sort," her father answered for her. "Nor do I. In any case, It doesn't matter what she thinks." "But It does!" leclared Daphne. "That's Just It If you knew the sort of time I'd had, Just because of him! Everywhere 1 went I'd settle down, hope tor a little peace. And then the old story'd start over again. I got so desperate. Bob, that I'd have glad ly gone to the Home Office, asked tor an exhumation order myself! I'd have been glad to face even that sort of publicity rather than go on like this." "Then why didn't yon get an ex humation ordert" Alison spoke harshly, bitterly. Daphne said simply, "I couldn't, unfortunately. Yon aee, my hus band'd alwaya been terrified of being hurled alive. So he made me promise to cremate htm." "Very convenient" Alison's eyes were blstlng. "You seeT" Daphne said that to Robert, plteously. "That's what It's been like, always. I'm Judged with out evidence, found guilty!" "JIT dear, forget It!" he pleaded, i'l "I can't" She gave a cry. "I've been so desporate that, I've been driven to He, even to you!" Her tone dropped to a whisper, a slow, rustling whtsper more tragic . than tears. "I'm not defending my self! I know 1 was wrong! But oh my dear! when you came along I could hardly dare to think that you were really true!" "Trust me now, then." He was Impetuous as he leaned over to her. "Trust me and forget all this. Daphne, put It behind you! 1 don't want to hear the rest! We won't think of It and If anyone tries to " his glance at Alison barbed that thrust "I'll see they don't touch you." "You don't know what you're say ing. Ask her what ahe said to me JuV. before you came In!" "V. hat did you sayT" He was ter rifying when he looked so stern, al most as If he meant to hit her, but Alison answered hlin without waver Ing. "I asked het It you knew her real name! 1 asked her If you knew that her real name was Poynter." But Daphne now did not shrink or show fear. She sighed deeply. "You see? He's even primed the child with that!" "I don't see." he began, puzzled. "Don't your' said Daphne bitter RECURRING FIRES DRIVE FAMILY OUT EVANS VALLEY, July 1.

You might have realised that 1 was Mrs. Poynter who waa supposed to be a murderess!" "My poor darling!" "So 1 went back to my maiden name Sumera." With a gesture of resignation sbe slid Robert's dia mond ring off her finger, held It out to blm. "I'm almost glad. Bob, that she's touad out!" Alison caught her breath. Her father had gone white. "Daphne!" He caught her to him, pleading. "Daphne, darling don't talk like that! Do you suppose I care what people say?" "Oh, Bob ..." Daphne swayed suddenly towards him; bis arms closed round her. Alison sprang forward. "Father! Please! Don't believe her! She's lying! Sbe sent those telegrams wrong on purpose! Sbe tried to kill me!" The words came tumbling out "Oh, please, listen to me! Don't you ses I'm frightened, terrified" "Hold your tongue!" her father ordered roughly. "Haven't you done enough harm?" But Alison would not yield. "Will you Just wait," she pleaded. "Will you just wait till Guy Lumley comes, hear the other side?" By way of answer he took both Daphne's hands, bent and kissed her mouth. "Qo and get Into the car, Alison," he said without turning his hesd. And to Daphne, "Get your hat on. We're going to get married now." ROBERT touched the bell. The slatternly maid answered so promptly that she must have been Just ouslde the door. Her round face was flushed as though she hsd been stooping; her eyes goggled at Alison In a scared sort of fashion. Robert looked at her limp, untidy hair and dirty apron with disgust as he said, "Qo out and tell the chauf feur, pleaso, to come In and fetch your mistress's luggage." The girl obeyed. Daphne had gone tbrougb Into her bedroom and she could be heard In there, opening drawers, humming softly aa she put her hat on and gathered up her bag and gloves. The small white Chinese sleeve dog with bis pert nose and proud plume of tall came from the bedroom, sniffed at Alison's feet as she stood by tbe window, looking anxiously up the street What had happened to Guy? Why didn't he come? If he would only hurry I It waa more than half an hour since Alison had left him In tbe street what could he be doing? Ha had only got to give his name and addross to the police! Even now. If be would only come, thoy might per suade her father that Daphne waa lying, that he waa in danger! Robert whistling, had picked up the Utile while dog and waa strok ing It; he lit himself a clgaret The chauffeur came In and Alison watched him with a sinking heart as he carried out the rawhide trunk. The little maid followed from Daphne's bedroom, staggering under two heavy aultcaaea and a round hatbox, a rug over her arm. Their feet rang on the stone oteps outside and from the window Alison could see them reach tbe car. There was a woman sitting In tbe seat beside the driver's place and with a pang of fear Alison saw that sbe was wearing a maid's grey dress. A big. bootle-browed, coarse-faced woman of middle age. with sleek black hair. Allaon. watching the clock hands move forward In sharp, short Jerks, almost prayed. "Ob, let him cornel Please let blm come!" "Is there anything more, air?" The man atood at attention by the door. "One more trunk inside," called Daphne and he vanished.- Aa they disappeared; Robert said to Alison. "Go on and get Into the car." "I'm not going with you." She put no defiance Into that; said It flatly. Robert crossed the room and ahut the door. He, too, spoke quietly. "You are my daughter and you're under age. You're going to do ex actly what I say." There waa a brisk Snallty about that slntement And It wss true, that was the worst of It! She broke out passionately. "Father, you don't understand I She means to kill me. Don't you see? Are you blind? You cant leave her any money till I'm dead and that'a why she tried st Worley- oh!" fCopi-IflM. IJ. Bvtlvn If trinrM Monday, Alison's eaaa appears van mora hopalaaa. Mall Carrier Oeo.

JULY 2 Th first annual Shakespearean festival being held In Ashland's new ly constructed Elizabethan theater in Llthta park, on July 3, 3 and 4. Is presenting this year two of Shake speare's well known comedies, "The Merchant of Venice" and "Twelfth Night.' In staging these two comedies Angus L. Bowmer, director, has not only chosen two sharply contrasting plays, but by the Interpretation of them he had made this contrast even more apparent, as the comedy of the Merchant is very subtle, the most emphasis has been placed on the characters themselves and the dignity of the play, so "Twelfth Night" has been allowed to run wild, and the comedy is the dominating factor. The rowdlneas and bolaterousness of the plsy Itself has been accentuate, nd the result Is a succession of hilarious plots and situations, as a brilliant foil for the moro sedate and beau tiful lova scenes. An unusual feature of the two plays Is the ability of the performers to leave the role played In one show and carry on one radically different In the other. Due to versatility of the actors, the unusual make-up and Ingenious costuming, this change Is entirely feasible and the spectator is not conscious of It. j The most radical change in char- liwnlous costuming, thl, chanee is I I rj I 1 I I 13 I .

Another clever change in charac terizations la done by George P. Smith, who plays the part of Oratl ono and also that of Malvollo. His roles are a sharp contrast as one Is that of a clever fellow, depending en tirely on his ready wit to see him through, and the other, the imagin ative and foppish steward of "Twelfth Night." Robert 8 ted man. who ably portrays the role of Basse nlo. the Impecunious friend of the merchant Antonio, and the lover of Portia, as he dons the suit of a Jester, shakes off the role played In the "Merchant" and be comes & gay, witty fool who bright ens the entire play by hla antics.
