An air of myssry seems to hang over the place. This impression is accentuated when the porter who handles Nunnally's grips hints of strange deaths that have occurred and mumbles gloomy prophecies.

It came after she had made au unsuccessful attempt to visit n rather extraordinary American who is living in the vi cinity. It consisted merely of au old Portuguese proverb, "She who eats in her own kitchen may dine well many a day.' it was speared to the kitchen table with a dag ger. Very subtle, eh? . "Well, I was resting down in Havana, after a rather Btreuuous expedition to the Orient, which cost me this bit of my left ear, by the way and she asked nm to come down to Porto Verde to see If 1 cuuldu't straighten things out a bit. I came, of course, and in stantly advised her to get out. Things aren't pretty here at all. They're bad enough normally In any of these Jungle-frontier towns. Here hardly a tlay goes by without something violent taking place, but Klise is a stubborn little vixen and They're town characters. Not the only queer people here." He wrapped a towel about the other's face, then stood gazing out of the window until a movement from the restless old man caused him to turn back to his' duties. "Yes, yes, customer, you'll be through in a few minutes. I hope you see now w hat I'm doing down here. As far as you're concerned the story is easy. 1 uotlced in the newspapers that you were one of the American delegates to the Pan American .Scientific congress at Rio de Janeiro, so I had the com pany send the telegram asking you to come here." "But those er manganese de posits the telegram mentioned. Don't they exist?" "Of course they do, my dear Nanny. I never lie.

"I'm awfully fond of you, Nan ny. And its' been a long time, a very long time, since 1 saw you. It seemed absurd to have you so close without doing something about it, particularly since I didn't know when I'd hava the opportun ity again. I suppose I ought to feel a little guilty for bringing you down to this beastly hole that I advised my cousin to get out of. but I think it'll be good for you to get a taste of the adventurous side of life. And I know you've always wanted it. So you see, there s your coincidence goue. An nihilated." "Hut why should you be er concerned In such unusual mat ters? And why er why are yuu a barber?

Instead I'll ask you whether you ever stopped to think how a barber has opportun ity to study individuals and learn their characters and physical pe culiarities better than any public servant, not even excepting a doc tor. For an individual goes to a doctor ouly yearly, sometimes never, while rich man, pool man beggar man, thief, all have hair and almost alL of them get shaved.

Vilak returned to Nunnally, sitting Up Interestedly in the chair. "It's as I told you," he announc ed gravely, "only much more ser ious this time. Another man's been killed. An Italian Tony Barbotta, one of the best foremen . on my cousin's fazenda. I knew he'd been having a feud for a long time with another one of the fore men, an Englishman named Potts, about some gambllug debts, and apparently the killing was the re-! suit of that. From what Joao tells me, Potts confesses that he com mitted the murder. Hit him over the head with a club. But it seems there's something queer about It.
