Chapter 87
TRAVELING! LIGHT
THE coastwlar steamer from the
capital followed a long tropical
ahorellne, Doted Into the harbor
proper, proceeding alowly under the
direction of a native pilot, gingerly
feeling the way through wateri that
recently had been infested with
mines.
The long itolld phalanx of sun
baked roofs spread out before her,
coming right down to the long ship
ping front with Its warehouses and
cranes and coffee chutea.
When she landed at her berth, a
slim girl dressed in tropical white
with a gay touch of color In the form
of a silken purpla scarf about her
throat, stepped ashore Into an at
mosphere of humming chutes, star
ing sweating coffee porters, Jabber
ing hybrid tongues, and noisy steam
ship cranes.
A question mark
It waa queer to sea a girl landing
alone, queerer still to see that no
body nvjt her. White women of her
type didn't come to Proplonoira un
attached. .
Thla girl wore dark glasses
against the glare of the aun, and If
sho felt strange and alone In that
stunted smelly part of the world, she
didn't show It Her step waa elastic
and she moved quickly and surely
across the dock toward the customs
house, a steward carrying two suit
cases following her,
' Allaire West was traveling light
this trip. Usually she had several
trunks, also a maid.
When she came out of the customs
flock of waterfront hack driven be
sieged her like chattering incompre
hensible magpies, elbowing eacb
other to shriek their terms, crowd
ing up on her In an unwashed mob.
But this cool-appearing Seflorlta
wasn't flustered. She talked calmly
to a taxi and got In. That aettled
everything. Whoever owned It could
drive her,
"Cafe Kaclonal Companla," she
said, and added to herself, "Atro

thin sallow man In soiled limp white
ducks and a battered straw bat. Hla

ridden in better equipages. 8he
smiled slightly.
But the car moved and that was
enough. She was her)! All through
the lonj air Jaunt to the capital and
the trip by steamer she had made no
other plans beyond Just getting here.
Now she was hare and a hlg ques
tion mark rode with her through
narrow atreets of houses with Iron
balconies and little short pillars.
She was glsd when the car got out
of that waterfront district and swept
Into a wider cleaner avenue past
parka and plaias of shrubbery
trimmed In artistic design.
The Latins would let their Indus

flew at each other's throats, but their
parks never suffered, even In Pro

ladled and reassured her some
what. It was something familiar In
the midst of grey squalid contusion.
Bhe alighted before the National
Coffee Company office. It waa the
only place she bad to start. They
were Terry Wlllett'a employers.
The native clerk stared at ber Id
amazement, and so did Drake, tbi
tall Englishman who was manager
of the branch office.
"Wlllettr be repeated. "Why. he'a
been in town the past few days, but
he's leaving right away. Going up
the river to work."
"Where can I nod him?" she asked
quickly.
Drake rubbed his long chin with
bony fingers. Where In the name of
all that'a holy had Wlllett ever met
a girl like this? She seemed very
anxious to And that man who'd coma
back from the States not! saying
much.
"He might be In the Santlnl Hotel.
If you'd like, I'll take you up there."
"Thank you," she said gratefully.
The Santlnl was no luxurious-looking
hostelry. It was a two-storied
white stone building with walla at
least a foot thick and ornamented
wltb those omnipresent little Iron
balconies.
Its bar waa the most famous thing
about It, and a smell of beer and
liquor seemed Impregnated In the
lobby, although a few potted palms
rode with Allaire,
strove valiantly to keep up appear
ancea.
She aacended the stalra with her
taciturn companion, walked down a
corridor and stopped before a door.
Drake knocked.
"Come In I" roared two voices in
unison on tbe other side.
"There's a lady here to see you,
Terry," called Drae.
A SLIM girl In tropical white wltb
a purple scarf about ber throat
stood on tha threshold at Drake's
side.
Corrlgan'a feet came oft the table
with a orash.
"Holy Moses!" be murmured,
dazed.
There was another crash aa a glass
tell from Wlllett'a Angers, which
were suddenly like those of a small
chtld'a. He stared Incredulously, the
tan ebbing from bis cheeks and the
aound ot many waterfalls in hla eara.
If bla father had atood there he
couldn't have been much more flab
bergasted. Drake excused himself. Corrlgan
looked from the girl to Wlllett and
back to the girl again,
"Aren't you going to ask me In,
TerryT" she said, a little trem
ulously. He didn't ai anything for a mo
ment. He couldn'L Wlllett waa usu
ally quick to recover from a surprise,
recover and adopt a course of action
with tha speed and snap of a crack
ing whip.
But this was something that beat
any surprise he'd ever received In
his young life. Surprise! There h-rt
to be another word for It
"Walt a minute." said Corrlgan,
"I'm In the way here."
He got up and wilked to the door,
stopping to beam at the girl.
"I'm Corrlgan, that lug's partner,"
he announced, "and If you get tired
or looking for him, start looking for
me."
He grinned and went out, closing
the door behind him. And still Wll
lett was silent
"Oh. please say something. Terry,"
the girl begged. "1 know you're sur
