Chapter 11 REUNION IN JAIL A LLAIRB clasped her hands be- hind her head and stuck her long legs out before her. "Funny," she said musingly. "I can't seem to get the Idea." "Terry's working on an Important Job," Fox said, "and hes horribly pressed for time." "Of course," she assented. "He's probably right. Anybody would have acted the same way. The world's full of anybodys. That's what," she added carelessly, "makes It the same old place a rattle, wedding bells, and a death certificate." She looked straight ahead In si lence, biting her nether Hp, eyes al most closed and the long dark lashes curling on her cheek. He touched her shoulder. ."I sent word for the car to wait, but you can change your mind easily enough. You don't feel like going up today." "Oh, yes, I do." She anapped out o:, her reverie so suddenly that he was startled. "I never felt more like It in my life. I'm going to find that damn little tramp steamer if 1 have to fly all over the ocean and I'm go ing to do a loop right over it" She stood up and stretched her arms. Fox noticed wonderlngly the flush in her cheeks, the whole tense ly relaxing lilt of her strong young body. "Allaire," he said slowly," you're In love with him." There waa another pause. She sur reyed him smilingly for a moment, and then lit a clgaret and blew out the match with a quick exhalation of blue smoke. "No, I'm not," she denied tran quilly. "But I could have been in time." She shook her blonde head and laughed. "Want to drive out with me, George?" Once again he disregarded Em bassy Instructions to follow her down to the lift, his brain whirling. For the first time In her life Al laire had been willing to surrender the controls to a man. For a brief fleeting Instant a certain man had won what no other man had ever come close to winning the whole souled respect of that girl. And then he'd deliberately re signed his chance. Wlllett! the tall rangy son of tho engineering camps had disappointed her, Allaire West would nover forgive him for that. THERE was a disturbance In the street, Rua Franco, that morn ing. The police went to work, on a muttering crowd who were blocking -itrafllc before a newspaper office and after the molee had been quelled three panting members of tbe city's police found themselves clinging to the arms and legs of tough-Jawed 'Bucky Corrlgan. Corrlgan felt the Injustice of It i keenly. All he'd tried to do waa paBs through the milling mob, that was all. He conveniently forgot that he'd ibeen three blocks away from the bat tle when It started and had busted Into action like a Are horse answer lng a third alarm. Corrlgan could smell any kind of i pitched battle a mile off, and his Tlgor and enthusiasm about getting Into the thick of things made him an Immediate object of attention. So he went along to the Carcel Municipal with the mental reserva tion that borenfter these damn for eigners could try to stage a decent brawl without any help from him. He had mnde a score of previous such resolutions and the times he had been Incarcerated were about eqtinl in number. Several others were awaiting their turn before the police Judge when Bucky was firmly ushered In. He started to look philosophically about him and suddenly uttered a Joyous whoop of greeting. "Wlllett!" The young man leaning against Ihe wall raised his head with a Jerk. Bucky wrung his hand hoarllly Terry Wlllett, co-veteran of the fa famous All Saints' Day riot in Juarez. what did they nab you for?" he beamed. Terry smiled shortly. "Questioning. There's been hooting " "Yeah?" snld Corrlgan. "1 hope it was a Splg you knocked off." "It was. all right lllldez, the ship ping agent." E I WASHINGTON, Dec 2fl. (A'P) Speaker Byrns said today he saw a "posMbillty" that a compromise bonus bill minl.t be worked out which would be "acceptable to the administration." He would not go so far as to say there was a "prvibabiilly." liower. "1 really have hopes." he told re porters, "and possibly It can be done If some of Uina advocating some of these hlllx. are In com - "Don't luiow the louse. Whjr the bell didn't you duck?" WUIett ran lingers through ht hair. "Duck?" he repeated. "Bucky, I'm Just a plain fool. J vai aboard the "Parajalbo" at Roslna B. All 1 had to do wai stay there and head (or Proploi.olre. And I couldn't." Corrlgan'a eyes narrowed. "What d'ye mean you couldn't?" "I told you 1 waa a fool." He looked very tired, thla rangy bronzed young man. "That's all there Is to It. I couldn't. I walked right off that lousy boat and was picked up by the police at my hotel. And Dad waiting " There was more than a mere steam valve In that exclamation. There waa genuine despair, the echo of a night of Indecision and doubt. Corrlgan, of course, didn't know that. He only knew that Terry WUIett had never been like this before. "How'd the police tall you, son?" WUIett shrugged. "I'd done plenty of prowling around Roslna B, trying to get acMoa out of Hildes. Some of the dock hands who saw the shooting recog nized me. Oh, the hell with It!" Corrlgan scratched his Jaw and wondered If his usually carefree brother-ln-arms was drunk at this time of the day. It puzzled Bucky. He forgot his own woes to trail along with Terry and hover within ear shot when Wlllett underwent exam ination. The police Judge regarded him critically. Then he began to speak In the rapid-Are Spanish of the po lice examiner. Sefior Wlllett on gov ernment contract, wasn't It? Ah, yes, there was no real necessity for his detention. They knew he hadn't done the shooting. It had been woman, was U not so? A. woman whom the stevedores could not Iden tify satisfactorily. TERRY listened to him lmpas slvoly and said nothing at all. He Just stood there and reflected viciously he ought to be Jailed tor being such a fool It tor nothing else. Jumping off the ship with' the thought that she might need help If a pinch should arise, fool The official began to frown. He had no particular use for Americans any how. He demanded the name. He In timated, after due thought, that Torry'a release might be obtained as soon as the police could bring the woman before witnesses. Yeah, a lot of greasy stevedores inspecting Al laire, Jabbering guttural Splg, nod ding lousy heads Wlllett almost laughed. I don't know anything," he stated distinctly. The examiner caressed his chin with thin nervous browa fingers. You will he confined for further questioning. Indefinitely. You know that" WUIett lot out a deep breath. "Yes. 1 know." It was over. He was committed for hearing on a contempt of court charge and a police guard took each arm. Corrlgan pushed his Irish mug Into the picture as they started to load him off. "Say, you mean to say you didn't knock off the Splg? Listen, you dumb tramp, you can still make the ship. Say, I'll bot they'd even hold her an other hour " Wlllett surveyed him gravely. Good old Bucky. Maybe he'd never seen a young girl face death, heard her sigh qulverlngly "Nover hold a boat," he advised. Corrlgan stared after him In amazement. "It 1 get the next coll," he mut tered, "I'll be as batty as he Is." Standing on the flat-topped roof of tho Jockey Club near the Decermo flying Hold, Fox and Major Horrera trained Hold glnssoB on a sliver plane, Us wings tipped with the sun, as It circled higher and higher above the hnrbor channel. A small steamer with thin black smoke filtering from her single fun nel was waddling along on the way to open sea. Higher that silver plane mounted. It seemed to hang motionless for a moment and then began a long down ward swoop. Fox drow a .breath. The Major chattered expressively. "She would II y alone. I Insist po litely. She Is Intent." "Oroat Ood!" brenthed Fox. The plane swept down toward that scrubby little steamer like some at tacking bird. Watchers saw It swing so close that for a breathless mo ment It appeared as though ship and plane were one. Thon It rose lazily In a long graoe 'ul arc, circled briefly, and started back toward land, the sun glinting on Us polished body. t Copirtoht.

Byrns repented a hope that tne bonus would be disposed of early to smooth the path for other legis lation and adjournment In May.

Bo loud are the belle that Carlllonneur Kamiel Lerevre, the man who plays It, haa never heard his own music properly. According to Mr. Lefevrc, the true effect cannot be obtained In the midst of the bells, where the clavier Is located. In the street below or In odjolnliv parks, away from traffic, the mus: of the carillon can be heard to i best advantage. The carillon consists of 72 bells, i slw from the large Bourdon be! which weighs more" than 40.0tu pounds, to small 10-pound bells. Th clapper of the big bell atone weight; two tons. The bells themselves weigh 100 tons, and with the heavy steel supporting structure, tho whole caril lon weighs 240 tons almost half r, million pounds. The bells are located 400 feet above the street level. Before the Christian world In gen eral adopted December 25 as Christ mas day, various churches observed the holiday at different times.
