"What a master mind," comment ed Jennlngt. "Lucky there weren't any beautiful women dentlitt on your trail. Uerloualy, George, how are thing down there?" "Coollnt ol. but they'll bt pot thootlng each other for a long time. Regular army tactlca never prove much, but guerrilla warfare and mob violence are a reign of terror. Tbt Ambassador had torn notlont on tht a rati embargo treaty, Monroe Doctrine, and a few other matters, to he tent me up with tht dopt tnd wangled a leave of absence for me at the tame time. Nothing very ttartllng." "No," aald Jennlngt, "Jutt enough ' to that 1 have to break In on the Secretary'! weekend with hit plpt. book, and collie, to bring blm thlt dopt of youra. Wa'vt bten waiting for you. He doesn't know which wty to Jump on thlt armt tmbargo busi ness Paul Revere Fox, tbat't you." "Huh!" aald Fox. "I'm ont of these ornamental and Inconsequen tial things known at an attache. Peo ple stumble over me and wonder why the streets aren't paved better." "Well, all I've got to say Is don't marry a burlesque queen, rob a bank, or poison your grandmother, and you'll get plenty far. Thlt It more than leavt of absence tor you George. You'rt going to bt assigned to duty at the Department tor a while and then transferred. Don't know where exactly, but 1 think you're tlcketoa tor St. James. You've dented some pretty Important con aclousness around hert with tht fact of your existence." "Put It down to connections, pri vate Income, and the grab bag," yawned Fox. "Ever modest. Glad to bt back?" Fox clasped hit handt behind hit head, ttretched hit lets, and looked out tht window at tht car turned Inlo tht city proper. " '.ie at though 1 wert coming back for a college reunion," lie laid reamlly. "Tou know the memory if old facet, old scenes, Iqng spring itternoons with nothing on your mind. Come back and recapture something that you have discovered was priceless, that you didn't realise you needed to much." "Hmram." murmured Jennings, lyolng him thoughtfully. "1 REMEMBER," went on Fox. 1 "when t was a youngster In prep school. Sat at commencement wait ing to hear If my name wat going to ot called for a certain prise.

"Tht Headmatttr came to tht front of tht plttform, adjusted bis spectacles, looked at a piece ot paper, there was a deep hush, and well, that's how 1 feel now." "Who Is she!" said Jennings. Fox started, then bt trailed. "You leap to conclusions like a damned mountain goat playing leap frog with the Alps." "Some mon stutter." said Jennings with conviction, "and others write poetry. Lousy poetry, My brother used to stand before the canary bird's cage with t glased look In his tyet and twlttor tht ctnary Into heeble-Jeebles.

Seeing that no information waa rotbcomina. Jennings swung back to tbt business of arms tm bargo treatlea, marlnet, tnd the Sec retary's weekend comfort, until hi dropped Fox at a hotel. "Remember," ha warned humor ously, "don't get caught In any funny places, and be surt tht lady la ao clajly acceptable to bt a future big shot s wife." "My regards to the Secretary." tald Fox. "Tell him my life for my coun try any time txcept when I'm on leave." Jennlngt waved a hand and drove off. Fox checked In at tbt hotel and then took a tail to Eleanor Weat't bomt. Ht had no aurety that Allaire would be there; he could only hope. Tbt butler thought tht might bt In her mother'! cocktail talon. Ht took tht little prlvatt eltvator to tbt second floor and ttepped out Into a long red and tllver room filled with Eleanor'a usual cocktail crowd. Three Japanese boys went about with trays of cocktails and highballs among gay chatting groups. Allaire wasn't anywhere to be seen, but her mother waa sitting In a corner deep ly attentive to an earnest young man with very dark hair and very high wbttt forehead. At bt talked he frequently ran hit band up over hit forehead and through hit '.hick poetical raven locks. Ht waa talking about lights, as Fox appioached. vibrations and lights, dirty yellow lights, pure white lights, pink lights all twinkling. ELEANOR Interrupted him to ex tend a languid hand to Fox. Sh waa quite beautiful, ber balr llk Allaire's except that constant set slom with the hairdresser failed tc glvt It tbt same natural wealth ol live color. "Hello. George. Back from the wilds? Nlct ot you to drop In. Let me Introduce Mr. Valaour." Fox met Mr. Valaour, then bt turned back to her. "I'm looking for Allaire It she here?" "No, tht Isn't 1 don't know where tbt Is. She went out last night be fore dinner and h-n't come back." She put a clgaret In a long holder unconcernedly. Her daugbter'i dis appearances were nothing unusual to her. "Do go on, Jacques. This is a new religion," she added to Fox. 'Not new," proteated Mr. Valaour. "It Is as old aa the world Itself. It belongs to the Ptolemies. Oh, no, do not mistake yourself; It is not new. It Is merely adapted to modern thought and terms. Your personality Is expressed In terms of lights all vibrating about the One Main Light" "I'm torrlbly Interested," mur mured Allalro'a mother. Fox wasn't. It sounded like glb borlflh to b!m. He excused himself. So Nell was Investigating a Dew re ligion now. Or, perhaps, It waa Mr. Valaour who was being investigated. He was walking through clusters ot chattering humanity toward tht exit when aomebody tapped him on the shoulder. "You do not remember me, Mr. Fox?" The attache found a tall man at his elbow, a handsome smiling man, dressed Impeccably from tht tint of hit grey-spatted shoes to the white carnation on bit lapel. Fox rocalled him with a certain thock ot surprise. It waa Ramon LaMarr who bad met Nell West In the Argentine and followed the po'.o party north. He wat a big gamt hunter and globe trotter, or torn, thing. So he said. 'I romember you, of course," said Fox, shaking hands. LaMarr smiled at him warmly, "I have wanted to aee you for aomt tlmt. What fortune we should meet." "What can I do for you?" inquired Fox. A great deal," tald LaMarr, "but 1 will do a great deal tor you, too. An exchange nof" tit laughed. "Let ua have a drink together." Sorry," aald Fox, "I'm trying to find aomebody." Ah," tald LaMarr. "Somebody? Mist Allaire West, perhaps?" His volet ended on a raised nott of suggestlvt Inquiry. Fox hesitated. He didn't cart for LaMarr hadn't tver since Allalrt had termed him a scavenging shark following in the wake of a ship. She had tried to chasa him away from ber light-headed mother several times. What was ht doing here? LaMarr wat smoothly oblivious to tht attache's hesitation. "You art looking for Allaire," ht went oh, "tnd I am looking for you. Believe me, It It very Important," tCopyrtoht.
