! Ground Luders's joint! You're identi
| fed forever with the red-necked arts
! 5Ocrats who smash five thousand
dollar motors and throw them away.
| You'd better go out in the hall and
! read the sign on the door. I'm a
| lawyer, not a father confessor to the
undeserving rich
This Is serious, Dan" Allen remon-
strated, twirling his straw hat
nervously. "All that happened in
! connection with the smash-up didn't
set into the newspapers"
The Advertiser had enough of it;
they printed, published and uttered an
extra with Marians picture next TO
yours on the first page! You can't
complain of the publicity you got out
of that light adventure. How much
space do you think it was WORTH"
Stop chatting and hear me out! I'm
| up against a whole lot of trouble, and
1 came to get your advice. You see,
Dan, the Bassets didn't know Marian
was going on that automobile trip. Her
mother had written her to leave the
! Vikings and go home-twice! And
her father telegraphed-after we left
the farm. She never got the telegram.
Then, when Mr.. Bassett read of the
smash in the papers, l guess he was
warm clear through You know he
doesn't cut loose very often; and"
And he jumped on the train and
went to Chicago to snatch Marian
away from the Vikings? 1 should
think he would have done just that"
NO; oh, no. He sent Sylvan cried
Allen. Sylvia. came up on the night
train, had d few words privately with
Marian, took luncheon with the VII
lings, all as nice as you please, and
off she went with Marian"
Harwood pressed his thumb into his
pipe-bowl and pulled in silence for a
moment Allen, satisfied that he had
at last caught his friends attention,
famed himself furiOusly with his hat
Well" said Dan finally, there's
nothing 50 staggering in that. Sylvia's
been staying at the lake: l suppose
Mrs. Bassett must have asked her to
go up and bring Marian home when
the papers screamed her daughters
name in red ink. / understand that
Mrs. Bassett's i'll, and I suppose Bias
sett didn't like to leave her. What
is there that troubles you about it,
Alien"
