"It could be oil land," he mused, thoughtfully, "but we'll hope It fcn't" Judith paid little attention to him. She bad succeeded In reminding fcllm of the package he bad cached lb the cabin of his ship and opening It had discovered a smart knitted beret and pull over sweater. "We'll celebrate Its arrival with a trip across the border, tomorrow night," Cuuard promised when Jud ith had tried them. "I've never been Id Mexico and all I need Is an ex cuse to go." Judith, who had turned to a pile of newspapers brought up during their absence, opened the one Clla called her "enemys' clarion." She thumbed through It 1 ntll the came to the rotogravure section, th .l quietly she laid tho paper aside ai.d with a reckless laugh said, "Let's go tonight I'd like to get away from here now."

To the wost the sky was a deep apricot, toning gent 1. to A luminous green, and mid center hung a hlngle star. By mid night there would be a full moon. BACK at tho house she found Slim Availing, Cunard would Join them at the ship. Slim was Immaculately groomed as usual. She wondored vaguely, as 'hey, strode down the hill, If he managed to keep shaved and pressed when' he was guest-by-force to the Chinese wat lord, She sat beside him In the dual control soau and watched him as a woman might watch a man, not as Judy Dalo had 'erotofore watched Clla Stanford's brother, Tho reflec tion from the Illuminated dial board threw high lights on the sevare line of his profile. Occasionally, as though conscious ot the new element In her scrutiny, ue would look at her, the rnra smile which had first attracted ber flash Ing across for Us brief moment. The moon enmo up behind them and Hooded the world. It turned the Itlo Orande moving below them to molten silver, and then they were banking abcut, circling iow, skim ming gently and whirring to a stop.

Intent upon charming a man whose face she couldn't soe. They found a table and ordered, then Judith and Slim danced. Slim carried ber In a dance measure across the floor, as be seemed to carry his ship through the air, with gentle touch that belled Its firm ness. THE evening wore on as tbey In terspersed .the many-coursed din ner with turns about the floor. The salad brought a quick, laugh provok ing border song; frljoles came with a sedate waltz, enchiladas, the top tllla filled to bursting with Its queer concoction and freighted with bit ing cheese, waa followed by a swift moving folk dance. And then In slow, sousuous meas- ure the song which had been on her Hps all evening, "Cellto L'ndo."
