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."

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.

s plain truth,

Byrns repented a hope that tne
bonus would be disposed of early
to smooth the path for other legis
lation and adjournment In May.
So far as he knows, he said, tne
president's promise cf a "brrath j
lng spell" still holds and no major j
legislation not alresdy In sight will (
be uggeted. ,
"Of ccuriv." Byrns said, "we never

The Laura. Spelman Rockefeller Me
morial Ouillon In the Riverside
church, New York, Is not only the
highest, largest and heaviest of mus
ical instruments bu. It Is among the
loudest. 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. Inns
much as there Is no hlstorlcnl evi
dence as to the correct bjrthday of
Christ the day was fixed arbitrarily
