ON THE CARPET
"OHE'S a BweU girl, Terry," laid
" Fox. "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.
"1 have a Job to finish." His voice
was flatly final. "Can't muff this
chance of getting away."
"No." agreed Fox, "you can1
Bod, this Is a mess."
Wlllett gestured at the car.
"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

sd dryly, "you don't need to get so
all-fired excited about It I'll talk
with Mr. West today and you be on
hand If 1 should want you. 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. "As at engineer Wlllett Is o
of the best but an a corapaatea ke'a
dyumlte. He doca't care what he
a" caw or where he do It J a

The diamond la the hardest sub
stance on earth. 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.

Boyer, university president.
Couraea for entering student will

In other classes who have missed the
fall term. The term missed can often

or coal soot, but It Is In the crys

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. Nero
wore an emerald monocle. Charla
magne carried an emerald good luck
charm the same one that Napoleon
carried centuries later on the battle
field at Auaterlltz where he won his
most glorious victory. Emeralds fash

artisans were found by Cortes. In

ancient medicine the emerald was be

of the eye.
Diamonds, the symbol of wealth,
royalty and love, are likewise notable
In history. Among the most famous
are the Great Mogul, once owned by
Shah Jehan, who built the Taj Ma
hal; the Orloff, bought by Prince
Orloff for Catherine II of Russia: the
Kohlnoor, now In the English crown
