"They mustn't pick up her trail. God, this Is a mess. What are you going to do?" Wlllett flicked his clgaret out In to the street. "Me?" he repeated. "I'm sailing on the 'Parajaibo' tomorrow. I know plenty about that ship her crew won't stop me. that's a cinch." "Oh " said the attache uncer talnly. He took a brief pull at his clgaret and then threw It away "Yes, I guess you'd better. Wouldn't be surprised to see things break wide open any day now. Coastwise trade will be stopped you d bettor tut your stick for your camp." He hesitated. "Only" Wlllett looked at him.

"Better park It out of sight for a tew days. Somebody might be watch ing for It So long, George." Fox said something. Wlllett walked away. He looked back over bis shoulder and saw the attache1 itill standing by the car. Yes, Fox was covering that girl. Hell, wasn't that what the Ameri can Foreign Service was for? Rule One: "Protecting and He suddenly remembered he need id a drink. THE American Ambassador called his staff to the Embassy study shortly before noon the next day. "Everyone Is to stand by today regardless of previous engage ments," he told them. "The latest word from the President's palace Is that the new tax bill will be signed In Its entirety, not excluding the coffee Industry." He regarded his staff searchlngly, eyes moving from face to face. "You know what that means, gentlemen. It is all the Proplonolre crowd has been waiting tor. I'm afraid we're In for a little trouble." He paused and looked at George Fox. That young man's mind seemed to bo wandering In the highways and byways of something distinctly alien to the President's latest tax on the smouldering coffee country His Excellency frowned slightly A revolution camping down around their ears and a certain attache clasped his hands on his chest and tared vacantly at the ceiling. "Mr. Fox," he rumbled, "I should like to see you privately a moment All right, gentlemen, that Is all for the present" Dent and the others withdrew. Fox stood up and went over before the heavy mahogany desk. "Yes, sir?" The Old Man thought quite highly of his attache, but he bent a rather eevr.ro glance on him now. "I understand perfoctly that Lega tion Club parties and like affairs are In the line of your duty," he re marked. "But you really don't have to go to sleep right under my nose. Mr. Fox. Tell me have you been to bed?" Fox hadn't And there was a re ceptacle crammed with clgaret stubs In his rooms that would have been more In place at an Elk's smoker. But under the 014 Man's searching eyes he hastily Irbrci back on the diplomatic sane "I'm sorry, sir," he nacJoRkaJ rapidly. "1'vo been tela ;. Arm teat polo party."

And for Heaven's sake, boy, start catching up on your sleep. Every time I look at you I feel like taking a nap." Fox left the study and returned to his desk. Captain Dent grinned sympathetically. "What's the matter, George!" be Inquired. "Didn't you dance with one of the fat wives of the War Depart ment or something? Well, I guess that's all over for a while. We'll be ducking Washington despatches and hauling errant fellow-cltlzens out of harm's way from now on." Ha sighed. "I'd planned on going out to De cermo to sea Allaire West take off today. Be Interesting, that I Imagine flying tor the first time after a ter rible crack-up Is a lot like going swimming right after you nearly drowned. , "And," he mused reflectively, "I know that feeling. Not sure of your self and your ability to stay up. All you can think of is what will hap pen It you should get a sudden cramp or swallow too much water." George Fox heard him rather In distinctly. He'd completely forgot ten this was the day when Allaire took the controls and she dreaded It "You don't think, you don't breathe you Just wait" And last by, the Ambassador had said. Fox went out of the Embassy and looked around for his car. It dawned on him after several mln utes that he bad carefully stored It away tor the time being. He weni to the Alvlo In a taxi. A LLAIRH lived far more exclu 4 slvely than her parents. Her private suite was high, fronted the harbor, and was accessible only by flight ot steps from the last lift exit Her maid took him out on the terrace and withdrew. She was dressed In white and had corsage of the country's famous wild orchids pinned on ber shoulder. The attache sat down beside her and Impulsively took one cool hand In both ot his. I know everything, Allaire," he said. "Wlllett told me. I phoned you early this morning, but you couldn't be located. "I' went swimming." He looked at her uncertainly. "Swimming?" ' "Swimming, George, The water was cold as the devil,- but the sun rise waa beautiful." There was something strange about ber. She seemed so perfectly composed that be felt it was useless to advise her not to worry, but he did anyhow for want of something better to say. "I'm not worrying." She smiled at him. "Sat up all night looking at the lights of the harbor and won derlng what makes the world go round. I suppose you'll think me al solutely boppy. but for some strange reason I felt as though everything had been taken out of my bands. Nice comfortable feeling like that o somebody taking orders and liklna It." Fox began to feel slightly dizzy Allaire taking orders? From whom? Not from her father, that was sure. She would have told him where to head In If he'd dared to try It .... "What made you run oft last night?" She shrugged. ;" "Oh, one of those things. Some body was going somewhere and not afraid of anything he might find along the way. I went along for the ride." "Ride Is right," be agreed ferveeH ly.

Precious as gems and useful In manufacturing pro cesses, diamonds owe their value In part at least to their hardness. Yet, strange as It seems, at the other end of the scale of hardness for precious stones Is the emerald and the best emeralds are on the same price level with diamonds. The emerald la the green gem va riety of the mineral beryl. It con tains several elements, among them aluminum, silicon, oxygen, calcium. Iron and chromium. The diamond contains but one element carbon.

The emerald was a good luck charm of the ancients; the diamond has been prized since the dawn of history. Romans and Aztecs alike cut exquisite works of art from the emerald.
