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.

Before the Invasions of North Itnly
by Atttla and hla horde of Huns, the
area that Is now Venice waa a clump
of Islands, Inhabited by none but a
few hardy fishermen who, thanks to
the mud banks and swamps that cut
them off from the rest of the world,
enjoyed almost complete Independ
When, however, the mainland waa
over-run by conquerors, the swamp
surrounded Islands were sought out
by refugees fleeing for safety. 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

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. All others
were killed.
