Newspaper Page TextPAGE EIGHT MEDFOKD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1933 Meet Mr. Lochinvar By Mario Bliiard" YESTERDAY: Tony misses a tapphire bracelet the intended to wear to Mr: Brewster's dinner, Philip thinks the must have tnie laid it. The party arrive t at Aire. Brewster1: and meet Iord and Lady Rathbone. Chapter 25 Diamond Pin ! CONVERSATION flewed gently, ioftly, about the table. Like the red roses clustered richly in the center, above the priceless 'ace, mere was an air or formality about it that was at once imper sonal ana pleasing. The American visit of the klne Was Honolulu truly the garden spot or the world? The recent bi ography of an English statesman, Historic vignettes of the past that seemed somehow to be brought up to aaie in Mrs. Brewster s dining room. The cultivation of the ca mellia. Mansions in Natchez. Lady Rathbone must set Mississippi ana us oeauiuui oia ..omes ana gardens before returning to Eng iana. Lady Rathbone. with her beau' tiful, slim neck, her startling way of smiling showing huge teeth in a grim smile was definitely of a genre not to appreciate Natchez, teeny thought. Mrs. Brewster rose. Her guests louowea ana, Dowing to the gen tlemen, she led the ladies back to the drawing-room. Ill be darned!" Tony mur mured Into Cecily's ear. "They're realty going to stay to nave port and cigars! Do you suppose if I have a cigarette, I'll turn the Brewsters over in their graves? Lady Rathbone halted, blocking the girl's way. "Excuse me," she murmured and went back to the dining-room. Frankly curious, Tony stared after her. "Undoubtedly gone back to tell His Lordship to go easy on ine port, she commented. The ladies had cigarettes, ash trays having appeared out of thin air. Cecily, blowing smoke slowly, suddenly felt all her party spirit evaporate. She was bored, wish ing she was at home, or that she had some knitting to do. Her eye traveled to tne ormolu clock on the mantel. Only a half-hour to ten and then, thank goodness, the tarty would be over. It was so utterly lacking in animation. Her lazy glance went from cnair to chair, to the sofa where her aunt and Lady Rathbone were talking logetner. His Lordship came In, bent over to speak to his wife. "Excuse me," Cecily heard Lady Rathbone murmur, "I must go up stairs. I have asked Cecil to get something for me and he can't find it," It seemed but a moment later when she reappeared in the door way, her face white. "Mrs. Brew ster, may I speak to you for a mo ment?" Mrs. Brewster was saying, "Dear Lady Rathbone, are you quite sure?" Then Mrs. Brewster, turning back to the room, said in a very clear voice, "Lady Rathbone has lost a valuable pin. . . ." "I hauen't lost itl I left It In my Jewel box on my bureau. I opened the box before lunch and took out the things that I am wearing. The in was there then. It is gone now." ady Rathbone looked even more grim than when she smiled, Cecily thought, as well she might. Mrs. Brewster laid her wrinkled hand on Lady Rathbone's arm. "Couldn't it be possible that your sleeve cat ght in the pin? Let us all lnnk for it. I'm sure we'll find it. Will you describe it for us?" "It is a sunburst design. There re forty diamonds surrounding a large central stone. There is a a.neiy .-iasp ana im quite cer tain . . ." Mrs. Brewster interrupted, tact fully suggesting that each of the ladies search an upstairs room. The men had come into the draw ing room and Mrs. Brewster ex plained the situation to them, as signing them to the downstairs floor. Tony, Gloria and Cecily drew the upstairs hall and the ladies' dressing room. Gloria closed the door behind them. "Am I wrong, or .s the old gal suggesting that her pin has cen stolen?" "Right! Quite right," Tony agreed. "And it looks as though our hostess were pretty much an noyed about it. Which one of us will do the noble thing and con fess and get the agonv over?" Cecily was horrified. "She can't think any of us would steal her pin!" "She's quite sure It was stolen. Perhaps one of the servants." Tonv ventured. Gloria looked up from her posi tion on all fours on the floor. "I'm sure Mrs. Bivwster would 1 e ready to suspect Mother's tnking it rath er than one of her servants. She only has four and they've been with ,ier for 'niqli onto forty years'. They wouldn't be likelv to embrace a life of crime at this late date. Most likely l.adv Rath bone will find it pinned In one of her own things. Come along, it's not here." car, "our hostess certainly handled that to the queen's taste. It looked rather unpleasant for a few min utes. Lady Rathbone was so deter mined to make it unpleasant!" Olivia said thoughtfully, "It all seems very strange. Lady Rath bone was certain that she had left her pin in her jewel case. She told me it was a family heirloom, in addition to being worth a consid erable sum. I don't believe that she would be so ungracious, or so unbalanced in her point of view, to state the case wrongfully." "On the other hand. Olivia." Helene said reasonably, "Mrs Brewster was equally certain shi had. She knew her guests and sh knew her servants. And she every right to believe that Lad Rathbone was mistaken. Wh should we all be disturbed abou it?" "We shouldn't" Olivia agreed "We've had a very pleasant eve ning, up to a point, and I sugge: that we forget it It's all quite im possible. Things like that jus don't happen in Vickersport, . . Anyone feel like a little bridge when we get home?" Tony said softly for Cecily ti hear, ''I'm glad I didn't give wa to my impulse to explore the ladies' dressing room before din ner. I d be sure to be accused Would you sav I had anv of the earmarks of a Raffles?" All of them." Cecilv retorted obligingly, "even to getting sus picion away from yourself. Didn't you announce before we left that you had missed a sapphire brace let? That's supposed to be part of the plant." Tony brought her full glance to bear on Cecily. "So. it is,'' she said slowly. "So i: is. Things like that don't happen in Vickersportl Maybe we'd better look into it when we get back." "Count me out. As a lietective. I'm a verv good librarian." Cerilv said. She disliked any echo of the unpleasantness, it made her fee! as though she wanted to get into a tub of water and wash away the thought of it. The big house at Darelea looked pleasant, warm, inviting, after the strained atmosphere they had left. The brief charm of the Old World juaintness that Ceeilv had enjoyed earlier in the evening was dispelled by the ugly sus picion that had invaded it later. ihe girls went upstair" to leave their wraps. Philip and Manuel were already getting out the bridge tables and cards. When Cecilv came downstair. Gloria was saying, "Let's have a little gayety to get the cold out of our bones. Could we have high- Dans, MotnerY Olivia nodded to Philirj who went to the dining-room and re turned with a tray of bottles and glasses. lony came running downstairs. "I found mv bracelet." she an- notinced. "It was lying right on my bed. I can't imagine how I could ave Deen so careless as to leave t there! I'm rather fond of It- It's an expensive trifle." "I told you vou'd fit d it." Phllln said, bringing her a glass. Cecily shuffled the cards. "Now everything is all right." she said. onaii we cut tor partners?" Very Strange' IX 'HEN the girls returned to the ' ' drawing-room, they found the ethers gathered there. Mrs. Brew ster, looking older than Time i weary, but with a manner that as sured them no one would be made uncomfortable, was already bid ding them good night. "Well," Ileleno Fernandez said when the women were in Olivia's U. S. WARNED BY JAPANESE PAPERS TOKYO, Tuesday. Sept 20. (UPI fitrlklngly similar editorials today In the Aahl Yomlurl and the Meyako Phlmbun asserted that the Unltrrt Bute I a.'mimtng Britain's lole or 'Tar eastern watchdog," and warned Nothing Wrong CECILY opened her eyes, streicneti, curling her toes like a cat. extending her arms in a rigid movement. Then she lay re laxed. Her eyes felt clear, re- reshed, as though th: early morn- ng sunshine, warm with crisn edges, were a celestial bath. Out of doors, she heard the proud cackle of a hen, the tinkle of cowbells in the meadow beyond the pines. The cry n seagulls rose on the clear air. The sweet smell r nay mingled with the lavender scent of her bed-sheets. Nice! Nice! Nice!" she said, as though she were biting into the word with pleasure. She turned her head to look at the clock on her bedside table. It was only seven. For a few moments she thought of the night before, of Lady Rath bone's cold, angry face. Then she dismissed it. Surely, in the clear beauty of this new day, that would be righted. There was nothing wrong could be nothing wrong on a day like this that the day would not clear up. She let her thoughts swing In the inevitable circle back to yes terday. It was no good trying to stay In bed any longer. Cecily hopped out, grasped the foot-rail of her bed, bent, twisted her body in ex ercises like a dancer limbering up. Then she plunged her arms into the cold water she had poured into the washbowl and splashed it on her face. She dried It hastily, rubbing her skin until it glowed. Hunger hastened her as she dressed. I would have made a good pioneer wife, she thought I like to get up early in the morning. I love the out of doors. I'd get meals on time lust because I'm always hungry. Mrs. Batson was not In the kitchen. Wouldn't be fo. an hour. Into a small tin pail Cecilv poured a glass of thick cream from the crock where it had been left at dawn. Then she went out to the barn and foraged in the hay. She found a half-dozen eggs, still warm, and put them In a papet bac. With her booty, she struck out the back way toward the beach. In long Mricir-s she covered th smooth stones, scrambled up a cliff and struck off through a short cut toward Cramer's Road. She was going to give a surprise party to Laura. Continued tomorrow.
