Steering an Impoa Ible coune airld parties, and horse shows, and bachelor cotillions, to ward the glow of rivers to cross and battles to win. And now Ray was laughing. She yanked off her sliver satin slipper and hurled It savagely out the window. "That' for you, Wlllett!" she said furiously. . The gesture seemed to snap some thing In her. She sank back as If exhausted. The gesture bad been silly. Inane, and she hated to make silly Inane gestures. She'd made one before when she sent Terry away when she knew she loved him. Sent him away In his hour of need, the Carteret minister bad said. Hour of need) It seemed a spar, that phrase. In the floating wreck. age. A spar that any woman would seize.

Can you fly me down to Miami tomorrow morning?" "Sure." said Shorty. "How earlyt" "With the sun," said Allaire. She hung up and stood lost In thought Tbere'd be a big argument iround bere: might as well get it ever. She picked up the house pbone ind called the butler's pantry.

Ray sounded (aied. "After what she knows about him." Foi turned and faced them. "It's very simple," he told them steadily. "You starved her for af fection when she was young and she's crown up with all that affec tion stored and accumulating and waiting to get out. And she's made It over lock, stock, and barrel to Terry Wlllett." He took a deep breath. "And If you ever prayed In your lives he fore, you'll pray that her courage and love and fight won't go to waste, but will see her through. Because," and bis voice shook, "she's putting all ber chips on one turn of the wheel and the odda are against her " He turned away from them.

' But of course tbe revolution had never, stopped those days of sodden rain and days of blinding heat They'd alwaya been there In a place where anything could happen. Terry Wlllett and Bucky Corrlgan had moved In on the river Job. They'd ahoved Into town the day the armistice waa signed. They bad things going In two weeks and In two weeks tbey also knew what they were up against Corrlgan came down the river to get some more men and ran Into difficulties. It was golug to be a long Job and a lot of the women didn't want either to accompany their men or let them go up to that unhealthy spot In tbe river. The padre bad Influence, but Cor rlgan wasn't much good In talking to padres, so be sent for Wlllett Wlllett cam down Impatiently, while Corrlgan ended up In Drake's office, looking as though he'd been through a war. "By golly," he said, lounging In s chair with one putteed leg thrown over the arm, "It's a stinker It I ever saw one. You can't get a bold on the thing It's like grabbing a handful of ooie." "It's a tough one," agreed Drake, the Coffee Company agent, "but Wlllett almoat licked It before and If that river can be opened to com merce It will be a great thing." Yeah, sure. Wlllett doesn't give a damn about opening the river to commerce, but tbe Job beat bis old man and he's death on beating It You know what he's figuring on do ing? putting In a system of locks, Wby, he hasn't got a chance. Rainy aeason will be on him before the work's halt done, and everything will go blooey." HE shoved his sun helmet hack on his head and rolled a clgaret with deft powerful fingers. Wlllett's come back from tbe States funny. Ha doesn't say much. Doesn't laugh much either. All be wanta to do Is pull this Job through and he's putting hla whole lite Into It." No, nobody with any sense would bare tackled that Job. Drake bad always felt that. But It was every thing to Terry Wlllett. It was a Debt of Honor. Corrlgan went back to his hotel room in the Santlnl. He poured out a long ahot, fizzed t dab of soda Into it, and then glasa In hand aat back with his feet resting on a chair and prepared to be comfortable. Wlllett came In shortly afterward. He waa a picture ot bronze his hair, the complexion ot his lean square-Jawed face, his brown breeches and puttees and his khaki shirt with the sleeves rolled up over tanned forearms. "What luck with the padre, fella?" Wlllett nodded briefly. "He's going to use his Influence. Great Institution, r"lres." lean, they marry people too. That's another great Institution." Wlllett picked up the bottle and pulled out the cork. He mixed a quick one and then sank down In a chair with his long legs stuck out before him. "Ever thought of It, Bucky?" "Oh, sure," said Corrlgan. "lots ot times. When I was In the States last I nearly stepped off In a weak moment. Cut kid Anne Harlow waa her name. Cam half-way to my ahoulder and her eyelashea were so long thoy got In the way when yon kissed her." "What happened?" Corrlgan wasn't quite sure. It had been three years ago. I don't remember exactly. 1 went to Mexico wltb the McLean outfit and when that Job waa over swung south Instead of uortb. She'd have bad a sweet lite In some hole Ilk this, wouldn't she? And I'd rather be able to shove oft somewhere at moment's notice than be tied up Ith some babe. Am I right?" Yes. I guess you are. Bucky. They don't mix." "Sure," said Bucky. "Let's get drunk tonight one last btuge." Wlllett looked speculative. "But I'm not going to taka car of- you," Corrlgan said severely. "If you get Into any lights you'll bate to nlsh them yourself. Let's under- land tbat." Count m out, Bucky. The Idea doesn't register. Ana It you knock over any ot these toy policemen I'll boot you In the seat ot your Intelli gence.

Wallachla, an ancient province be tween Serbia and Hungary, waa called upon by Its Turkish overlords to fur nish an army for the sultan. Mav roghenl called his nobles together and ordered them to take up arms for Turkey. The nobles turned thumbs down on the Idea of fighting for a foreign ruler, and refused to obey. Mavroghenl then ordered horses brought from the stables and told the nobles to mount. They refused even this command and their enraged rul er dismissed them all from office, took their titles from them and re placed them with the horses that they had refused to mount.
