Then Allaire meets Bucku Corrigan, doumetalre, and learne from him that Terry hae taken much punishment for her eake even a taehing from the police. Chapter 31 CARRIAGE DRIVE A LLAIRE wa altttrjf up itraisht. 1 looking at him with ahocked amazament. Buck? Corrlgan's face earned to be swaying back and forth through a blur. But there waa aometnlng that quickened her pulse heat. Everything waa so clear. She Bank back weakly for a . ro dent and laughed shakily. Corrigan looked at her doubtfully and decided aha could use a good hot. Be departed for the bar and emerged with a glaaa In each hand Just aa Terry Wlllett came atrldlng through the lobby like a runaway xpreea. "Where la ahe, Bucky!" he de manded. "Where's who?" "That girl. She walked off aome place. I can't let her go walking around thla town after dark alone.1 "Oh, that girl," drawled Corrigan. "Why, ahe went off down the atreet with a little bald-headed man who limps and haa a cast In one eye1 Wlllett'a Angora gripped hla arm. "Do you know where ahe la or don't you. you thick Mick? I can't waste time' "She'aout on the verandah," said Corrigan hastily, aa both glaases nearly apllled under Wlllett'a urge for information. "And I think 1 have made you out a hero." Wlllett had already departed. Cor rlgan looked philosophical. He had one drink and then, deciding that there waa no use wasting the other one, he raised It in brief salute and drank that one too. Terry went out on the verandah and looked around. He aaw her Im mediately, sitting in the shadows and resting her white chin In the palm of her hand. "Oh," be said, relieved, "there you we." Swiftly her eyea raised to his. "Yea, Terry, here I am. You missed me, perhaps?" "1 thought you'd ha walking around here aome place. If you were craiy enough to come down here, you'd be crazy enough to do any thing." She arose and linked her arm in his. "You could protect me with a car riage drive," ahe aald. "Under your supervision, of course." "All right," be aald. "If you like." Ha escorted her to the atreet and balled a carriage. The girl seemed glowing. Distance had been de feated, and now uncertainty. The Question mark had vanished. In the carriage ahe put both her arma In hla and spoke close In bis ear. "Terry," she whispered, "you can't fool me again. I'm here to stay." Wlllett tried to aay something. "Quiet,, darling. I know all about everything now. Not that I had to know about It to realise I loved you, but to realise you loved me. I'm so proud." "Damn Corrigan," he muttered. "Nothing matters any more, doea It, Terry?" He aat up, every muscle tighten ing suddenly. "Everything mattora. It won't work, Allaire. I'm not going to drag you around after ma. Your place la In the States, and the Stales donH otter any attractions to me. I don't care about anything up there. We'd both be lost. I've got thla Job to do and I told you I was going to do It. and after that I'm going to ahova ome place else. Where do you lit In with that picture?" "As your wlte, Terry." Wlllett'a face twisted. He leaned ever and took both her hands In a tierce grip. He was illont tor a long while and the carriage creaked and swayed through a night whose darkness waa thinned by the nyrlad lights of the towu. "All right, Allaire," he aald so berly, "I Just wanted you to look be fore you Jumped. 1 wouldn't have you hurt. b-t If you're game enough 10 a cnance we may come through." he laughed ahortly. "God knows I am. Only I still think you're too grand a gtr) to waste your lite." "And you're too grand to waste fours. She smiled at him, that love ly, soul-stirring smile. Ha drew her to hlro. a slim girl In tropical white with honey-colored hair. Step on the gaa and catch the lights as you go by. CORRIGAN and Wlllett sat at a table In the Santlnl bar the vex morning. "You're a sap," said Corrigan "Sure, she's a swell girl, but what do you want to tie yourself up for'; And what'a ahe going to do hen alone? You can't take her up the river." "I know It. I can't take her will me or leave her alone here. That why we're getting married th morning. Married women have status. I'll And her a houBe and alt It with a couple of good aervants i take care of her. I've already sec Drake and he told me about a rel able married couple. The man'a so, of old, but he's strong and It'll be . good thing to have him around. Th woman la a fat old Chalk!, but she . kind and she'll be company for At lalre. God, If anything happens l her, Corrigan, I'll never forgive nr aelf." "Notblng'a going to happen to hi She'a got guta. that gal, but" 'Yes, I know," aald Terry crlspl; "She's picked a funny one to tie ti I told her that" 'And It makes no never mini! huh? Well, I wish you luck, felln And now whr.t?" 'You go on up to the camp. Thi Chalkls will be following soon and '11 be up there In three or four days Got to aoe that she'll be all rlghi while I'm gone." He looked at hla wrist watch. "Come on, Bucky. Hore's wher. you get closer to a padre than you'v, ever been before In your lite. They met Allaire at the consulate She bad on a white sports coat and looked as though she was Just aboui to start off for Meadowurook. "I'm terribly aorry, Terry," eht said. "I left home ao hurriedly I couldn't Improve on m. trousseau." Wtllett's civilised effects being stored up the river In his camp, he had to wear the same clothes In which he'd come down, but he'd boi rowed a necktie to lend some dlgnliv to his costume. "You look wonderful," he sail deeply. Allaire flushed In spite of hersell she'd hoped he would say that. They took a carriage to the church Corrigan, Drake, and the American Consul followed In another one. They rolled through the streets of Proplonolra with the bars opening on the Bldewalks, dark-skinned men In white ducks drinking their syrupy coffee In the dim, cool interiors, and waltera carrying trays of spilling beer and shot glasses. Wlllett took the girl's hand. It's not too late, Allaire," he said In a low voice. "This Isn't the kind of thing you ought to hare had." "Love me, Terry?" It was the answer, the answer she had to everything. To her It waa enough. And so they drew up before a little white atone church with age-old bel fry. The padre waa walling on the steps. There was something In hla face that made her think of Doctor Ross back In Carteret, something mellow and serene the face of a man who'd soen a lot of the world go by and become philosophical and tol erant of those who made up that world. Journey's Beginning. TERRY found her a house, a small houso of atucco set back from a well-traveled road, but not ton far back. It was on high ground and from tho little verandah she could see the harbor, and the roofa of tho city that ganged up near the waterfront. There were Iron bars on the win dows of the lowor Uoor which rathor dismayed her at lirst, Allalros Idea of a home most certainly did not In clude Iron bare on windows. But Wlllett had been around nnd he knew a great ileal about alnrvlng aneak thieves who formed a sizable part of the population. Eugenlo and Rosa, the two ser vants, wore ploaannt, kindly Chalkla. Eugenlo, stooped and whlto hnlrod and very thin, was a startling con treat to bis tat wife. On that lirst night In her house ihe stood with Terry on the varan dah and looked out ovor the pano rama she had adopted. Discernible were the riding lights of the freight ers In the harbor, and the straight lines of lights below that marked the outlines or the uroola. In some places they were vory fen and far between and barely distinguishable the alleys of Proplonolre. ICopyrlght. f SIS by Pntd Oarta; Aid tomorrow, T.rry Laves for tho wildt.

People from many mainland cities fled lo Venice's Islands for temporary safety from time to time, returning to their homes when danger had passed. Some stayed, mingled with the fishermen and their families, and thus Venice, "the Queen of the Adriatic," had her beginning. During the sixth century, as a result of the Lombard invasion, the refugees settled permanently on the Islands. When they decided to make Venice their home Instead of their hiding place, they began build ing the city which has ever since been a poiiot of historic importance and scenic beauty. Ancient Romans made wide use of a constr'a.tlon material very similar to our modern stucco. Modern Inter ior stucco Is made of gypsum and glue water or pulverized marble, fine sand, frypsum and water. Exterior grades UcNiocht SjmJiMtt. im. - 2- 3& are coarser. The Roman material was compounded of powdered white mar ble, lime and milk. In June, 1015, a German zeppeiin was shot down by an Allied filer as It neared Its base behind the lines In BeJglum. The bag caught fire and fell 6,600 feet before the control car. In which were members of the crew, btoke loose. The car plunged through the roof of a convent and struck the floor but Just before this Impact ore member of the crew waa thrown free of the car. He landed on a nun's bed, and escaped death.
