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. (Spl I
To have one's house catch fire two
days In succession Is enough to drive
any family to cooking out of dor,
and that U what nappeneo to the
Henry Baker home near the Wlnier
store. Sunday noon flames were dis
covered on the upper floor near the
flue, and oalled for prompt action
from the entire family.
Monday noon, while Mrs. Baker w.u
alone with only the small children
and her aed mother-ln-law. the
houae aaln cauht fire After see
ing they would be unable (o extin
guish the flames, they beg.tn lo m-ive

ly. "It's true, you see. That Is my
real name. .1 lied to you. Bob. 1
didn't dare to tell you. I was too
afraid! You mlght've heard those
stories. 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!"

FESTIVAL OPENS
ASHLAND. 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

liwnlous costuming, thl, chanee is I I rj I 1 I I 13 I . 'I Uf V J - TAbT OVER THE BUNDLE

acter is that done by Mr. Bowmer,
who, tn the "Merchant" plays the
role of the greedy, cringing, but crafty
Shylock, and In "Twelfth Night" be
comes the swaggering 81r Toby Belch,
whose life consists of eating, drink
ing, devising and pursuing merri
ment. 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.
In using the Shakespearean stage
the play is allowed to run its full
course without the monotonous watts
for scenery changes. By utilizing the
use of thr-e stages Into one ur.lt.
