An or chestra In a place down the street was flaying the air with stringed cadence. A carriage rolled through the street, the "clop-clop" of the horse's hoofs seemingly In time with the trains of the music that drifted through the night air. "Maria." said Speede dully. "Re member Maria?" . Terry's eyes narrowed. Speede must be out of his head. When the ea- broke up the women went ba to their villages what was Bpt'Lda talking about? thought I'd like to take her hack to the States with me. Terry." Speede was saying. "But I can't. Why, she's lost even in this city. Bewildered, afraid, unhappy she fiates to wear so many clothes any- Fox was bored stiff how. How can I take her home? People wouldn't understand my mother and sisters wouldn't Maria's only a nitive." "Haven't you sent her home yet?" Terry demanded. "And what do you mean you won't go back to the States because of her? Say, If she makes any trouble" v "Wlllett!" Speede was on his feet, waylng a little, his Hp trembling, the queer note back In bis voice. "Maria's got a child. My kid" Terry groaned. Speeds bad evi dently changed only outwardly. He hadn't learned a damn thing still a little boy saying his prayers at night "Think It's the Drat time some thing like this has happened?" be aid sardonically. "Those women expect It they expect to go back to their villages In the end It's only an Inlorluclo In their lives. Quit act ing like a dummy; the world hasn't started with you." "1 don't care," Speeds said fever. Ishly, "what others have done. 1 love Maria; don't you understand? Dut you don't know anything about those things. Wlllott You're a fighter, I saw you go after a man tonight 1'vo never beard of you being soft how could you know? Dut I married Maria! In a church! With a padre and everything. lylLLETT pushed him back Into his chair. "All right," he said kindly. "I didn't know. Uut don't get excited. First thing you ought to do Is lay off the kana. Then take your leave ot absence, go home and see your fnmlly. and aftoi wards come back to your Mnrta If you want her that bad. Hell. It's perfectly simple." Specie jhook his head slowly from side to side. "I've thought of that I've thought of a million things. Uut I can't go back. I'm afraid, afraid" Ills eyes wore burning with the kana as he caught Terry by the wrist "I'm afraid." he repeated Jerkily. "1 was at :he capital just before I came here. 1 saw European women there.

Sihe was taken to St. Jos eph's holtl .jtK In the States. I was almost engaged to one once. A girl of nhat mother would call 'my class.' I love Maria. 1 tell you. but If I ever went back to the States. I'm afraid I'd never come back. I'd ditch Maria like the dirtiest swine who ever walked Maria and my kid; Terry released himself from the grasp of the other's fingers. Queer duck. Tommy Speede. this former fresh-cnec d, laughing kid with his college degree. Caught with tropical kana and some naive Ideas of love and duty. Slaying here and signing bis death warrant over a brown-skinned na tive. Well, some beat the game and some didn't. Kiss and ride on! Speede couldn't I'bat camo from being "soft. Speede was right nobody had evei heard of Terry Wlllett being soft Look what It got you look at Tom my Speede. "Keep your head screwed on. Tommy," he ordered gruffly. "Marls doesn't expect anything. For God'l sake, go back to the States befori you're shipped back. And stay there" Young Tommy Speede looked a' at the Polo Ball. him with eyes that seemed unable to focus. "I can't," he said doggedly. "I can't and I won't and be damned to you all." On the way to his hotel later Wll lett paused and viewed the big warehouses rising from the water's edge while that omnipresent smell of stagnant sea foam polluted the warm breeze that blew up from the harbor. Dut tils thoughts were not of cof fee as be surveyed the warehouses and the lights of the freighters rid ing at anchor. Ho was thinking ot young Tommy Speede and the grin be hnd brought Into a construction camp on the f'ontcctlles-Juarez Itoad. His face twisted wryly. "Doad In six months," be mut tered. "And becauso of a woman." I GEOKCHS FOX ot the American Foreign Servlco hold a position that, on the surfuce, could bave been Ailed by any one ot a hundred young men whom the State Department sends out ovory year to start that hnllowod nnd diplomatic calling, "a diplomatic enreer." He wore his clothes with easy athletlo distinction, knew moat, of the right answers, and possessed, when he chose, a most excellent poker face. Hut ho was bored stiff at the Lega tion Club Polo Hall even before the affair began. Fox grunted. Enough material there for fifty ten drinking harmless young squirts ot attaches. Captain Dent, the military attache of the American Embassy, dropped a hand on bis shoulder. "If you're looking for the same person I am, George." he said with a grin, "don't bother. She has completely dlnnppenred. And from what 1 hear of her she may bob up anywhere from Moxlco City to Sao Paulo. Her mother tolls me she started for Tuxedo Park one time and then turned up on ball from Hinsdale, Illinois, where she'd out raged some Inndlng statute by set ting her plane down on a golf course."

EFFICIENT TRAM rW ?hvm Strange as It seems, toy trains out- I strip their blg life -size brothers In the three moat Important qualities I In any train apced, efficiency, and strength. The, new little streamline ; model trains on every Christmas ; toy counter Are. for their size, better j in these three points than any big locomotive and train thnt man has ever been able to build. In speed, the toy train can make about five miles per hour this speed, i for its size, being equal to 200 mllefs an hour for a big train. No big trnlna run that taut. Not only that, the toy train ts more efficient. It delivers Its top speed at maximum efficiency, whereas the most efficient operation of a big train Is et much lower speeds. The modol toy train tops them all for strength, too. Run It Into a solid obstruction at top speed and little damage result but drive a big train Into another train or Into a solid ob struction, and the train will be a mass of twisted steel beyond repair.
