THEY swooped low to stud; tbo
topography of the counti and
when they returned that afternoon
Cunard looked thoughtful.
"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."
She saw Slim Sanford look over
her shoulder and quickly slit shield
ed what she had seen, a picture of
Mathlle Bov'ns and Norman Dale,
with the caption: "Bereaved daugh
ter of Tom Bavins, in socluslon of
, her Oalveston beach cottagt, con
fers with family attorney, husband
of the Millionaire stenographer."
dhe'd seen oordor towns, visited
the heated cafes with their jillllng
crowds, the quick warm tempo of
the guitars. She sang one of their
aongs aa she dressed In a tailored
suit of pale tan twill, boota If doe
akin, light of sole and dull of leath
ershe could dance In those.
She pulled Clip's gift sweator over
her short dark hair, ran a damp
comb through thedlsarr yed
strands, then pulled the new beret
forward at a rakish angle above one
straight bleck brow.
A dash of warm raspberry-tonod
rouge on bor too white ohoeks, a
full curved line for her lips, aud slio
wheeled, from the house and darted
dp the ship rock. 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.
The town lay, a huddle of adobe
and woodon buildings, on -i harron
strip of dosorL Sunlight would have
picked out each detail ot squalor,

but the moonlight turned the adobe
snow white, the lighted windows
golden yellow, the shadows of the
frame sulldlngs blue-black and pur
pi' It lay a glamor over the scene
which reached Judith and height
oiled her excitement.
The cafe was small, It was crowd
ed wltj a queer mass of b imanlty,
Mexicans, Americans, of every
stratum. Judith found horjolt admir
ing a dark-eyed Spanish girl. 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." The
floor was packed with swaying cou
ples, at the tables the natives took
up the theme and sang with the or
chestra and Judith and Slim sang
with thorn as they danced.
Versos Innumerable, the floor fill .
Ing until Judith and Slim returned
tc the table. Cunard had goi.e to the
gaming room and there in the pri
vacy of the Impersonal mob. Slim
Bpoke.
Judith watchod him cup his hands
a be lighted a cigarette, watched
the yellow flume burnish the bronze
of his fnee, then taw the quick flush
of his smile. '
"Judo, will you hate me It 1 ask
you a quostion?"
"I I'd find it a bit dlflicult to hate
you, Slim."
"What are you going tc do about
Norman?"
"I don't know, Slim."
"And what la he going to do about
you?"
"I don't know that either. It's all
so Indefinite. Wn couldn't seem to
discuss things '.'hen we were to
gether and jow "
"Now?" he promptod.
"Now wo're as tar from each other
physically as " wore In under
standing. I guess we'll Just let time
mnko whatevor adjustment must
lu mado." '
"1 suppose It Is n c necessary for
me to tell you I lave you; you know
it. Sometimes I feel like a sandwich
man running around with signs on
all sldos, saying 'I love Small-Jude.
I do. I do. "
Judith looked up to smile and hei
oreath caught In a gasp. A Span
ish girl was dancing In the arms ol
tho man she had boon beguiling. The
man waa J. C. Scathborne, the one
whom Lampere had tried to plant In
her bnnrd of directors.

sionary work" of the Chicago Bears
In their almost -all-winter tour of
Paclflo coast gridirons has planted
seeds of professional football In fer
tile ground.
Coast football fans, "high" on
their many great collegiate elevens,
reacted so satisfactorily to the brand
of ball the mid western tourists ex
hlblted In their triumphal parade
that plans for an "American league"
to operate on the coast next fall are
making rapid progress.
"The American Professional Foot
ball league" haa been Incorporated In
the state of California, and a num
ber of sportsmen, financial and busi
ness executives are moving to spon
sor an eight or ten-league club next
winter.
The prime movers have already be
gun to talk about a February "world
series" between the coast pro cham
pions and the National league flag
winner.
Cities listed as potential homes of
the clubs are Los Angeles, Holly
wood, Long Beach, San Diego, Santa
Barbara, Fresno, Bakers field, San
Jose, Stockton, Sacramento, San
FTanclsco, Oakland, Portland and
Seattle.
As In the "National," games will be
played Sundays and evenings, with
an effort not to conflict with colle
giate fixtures.
The charter board for the new
league Is headed by R. E. Whittle
