The blazing light, nndlmmel by taj cloud, turned the white shell beacb Into a dazzling lncan deacence which burned It way Into one' eyeballs like it white hot needle. The palm trees themselves seemed to And the oppressive beat and too much drink was taking Its toll upon a figure which bad, but three weeks a so, been lithe and hard-muscled. Here there were no polo fields with spirited ponies and pretty women, no band ball courts with showers and experienced rub bers, no golf links with frosted highballs at the nineteenth bole. Of all these, only two were left, the highballs and one pretty woman. So to both be bad devoted himself assiduously, the drink without re straint, the woman to the limits of her patience. Now be stared open ly at Nancy and smirked. "No, not drunk yet," be said. "Perhaps a little later." His mood changed suddenly. His Irritable voice betrayed a man whose nerves were frayed and Jangling. "What else would one do to help him for get the pasting of time In this bell holeT Hamilton, with his blamed solitaire, Martin, sitting there like a bump on a log until you could smash bis face In Just to make blm speak.

Their golllwog-Hke dus ters gave little shade and less rest to the eye, serving only to accen tuate the glare of the brassy sky and the burnished Iridescence of the flattened sea. A girl stood In a tiny patch of hade at one end of the porch, cow ering from the all-encompassing beat. She was young and beauti ful, with the straight, slender fig ure of a boy. For the thousandth time she studied the scores of itslands to north, east and south, jthea turned her gaze toward the sharply-edged segment of horizon between two Islands to the west. fThe Bash of hope that always light ed those brown eyes when sbe be gan her frequent surveys faded Into hopelessness. She leaned egalnst the perch walling, forgetting everything but the beat and the ever-growing ten sion In the house. Those little patches of mangrove-covered sand might never know the touch of hu man foot nor those shimmering (waters the splash of paddle or beat jot propeller. The twenty-acre Island npon which the bouse stood seemed utterly lost amid an unin habited achlpelago of Island-dotted sea. The madhouse of which this porch was a part might burst Into flame and disintegrate under the torrid beat, together with Its com psny of desperate men, and the tontslde world might never know, phe shivered, although the very air corched her Ilk the blast from an open door. An hour more before the malev olent sun would drive Into the sea with troplo baste. Then one would be able to breathe. The tension Which bound the Island like an Iron band would relax. The men would become almost normal, re membering their station In life before they were set down on tali un-rldden, hate-mad spot. , "Enjoying yourself, Nancy!" A sardonic voice came from behind her shoulder. Sbe wheeled, ber land on hor breast. 1 "Are you drunk, again, Mr. Mai lory!" h challenged him coldly.

"That will be very helpful to me." The girl's voice was heavy with sarcasm. "You fill me with admiration tor your elf-control." "See here, Nancy," he com plained querulously. "It's all your fault. You know I've not been my so'.C I'm madly In love with you and you treat me like a dog. I've loved you ever since your opening night at the Criterion, two year ago. I've tried, Ood knows bow many times, to meet you. But yon never went out on parties, never met people. And now we're to gether here, I can't think of any thing but you." "You've thought of nothing else," she countered scornfully, "but the heat and the liquor and the chances of escape. , Have you given any thought to your wife, lately!" "My wife! I've told you that my wife and I have been separated for years!" he declared tempestu ously. "I'll have ber get a divorce, the moment we return to Now York." New York! A million miles away from this madnera. It bardly seemed to exist "That might be a favor to your wife," she said drearily, "but please, please, let's talk of some thing else!"

Then, suddenly, she folt rather than heard, a sharp, ringing crack. The straining arms sagged as his body relaxed, became limp and settled toward the floor. She was dragged down with him. Strong hands seised her by the shoulders and Jerked her back to her feet (Copyright, Dial Press) Nenoy esespes from one purtuor to And hsrself faolng anothsr, to. morrow. PORTLAND, Ore., July 19.
