CHAPTER III j
VJT7HEN the new moon was high'
"In the black, star-gleaming
sky they rode In the small, rock-j
ing tender back to the freighter.!
The three men drifted of! to
their cabins, leaving Allison with!
Barry the prize she had worked:
so hard to capture. When they;
had gone, she lost some of her gay,
sang-froid. She dug a hand into,
the deep pocket of her light wrap!
for clgareU. As he lit it for her,,
she glanced up at his lean brown
face and dark, steady eyes. She
sighed a tiny sigh and blew a
smoke ring.
"I suppose," she said faintly,!
"It's an apology, not a kiss you're!
waiting for."
Barry chuckled in spite of him
self. He lit his own cigaret lei
surely and nicked out the match.
The warm night breeze brushed
It along the deck. "As a matter
of fact, It was neither," he said.
Her upturned face was a heart
shaped blur in the darkness. "A
walk, maybe?"
She moved off along the rail,
: a fragile figure against the black
silhouetted mountains of Cuba
which loomed behind her. Barry
followed.
"Are you going back ashore?"
he demanded.
"You mean am I giving up my
Jungle dream?" she murmured
blandly. "Going back to New York
just because of a few words of
warning you gave me the night
we sailed? No."
"He said, "I think you'd better
reconsider. I'm telling you, a
Guatemala chicle plantation is no
place for you." -
The teasing laughter in her voice
was plain now. "Maybe," she said
archly, "if you had spent more
time describing the horrors of the
jungle to me on the trip down,
and less time with your old Quiche
books. ... As it is, you fascinate
me almost as much as Guatemala.
I can't decide whether it's be
cause of the jealous girl who
brought you aboard and prac
tically dared me to . . ." Her voice
broke off into laughter. "I sup
pose I owe you an apology for
her, too."
"You can settle that with Ula,".
Barry said dryly. "The problem
now is " , . '
"Or whether," Allison mused on
imperturbably, "you fascinate me
because you're so aloof and mys
terious. Why under heaved would'
you be so intent on histories of
the Quiche Indians? If you were
an archeologist, or a professor, or
even a student But you're a min
ing engineer!"
. .
"THERE'S no mystery about it,"
' Barry exploded impatiently.
"It's a matter of simple business.
Look. I'll make a bargain with
you. My business is on the con
fidential side. But Til tell you'
. about it if youH forget this crazy;
adventure of yours and take a
plane home from Santiago to-'
night" :
; "If youH ten me," Allison said!
breathlessly, "I promise you HI:
consider going home."
' There was a new note of serl-'
ousness in her voice and Barry;
.accepted it as oath. He told her I
his business with casual speed. I
i "My : company sent me downi
(here because the United Nations'
iwar effort is in vital need of
quicksilver. It's used in a hun
dred delicate instruments of war
fare. The Guatemala highlands
are one of the all too few sources.
And on the Guatemala highlands
live the Quiche Indians. Catch?"
:! "Catch." lauehed the jrirL Then
she frowned. "But why the his
tory books? Need you get so
ichummy with them just to work
la few mines?"
, "There's the rub," admitted
Barry. "We don't work the mines.
We don't know where the mines
are. The Indians bring their
j crushed and vaporized cinnabar
Idown to the shore in clay jugs and
Itrade it for bananas and fishing
irights. But where they get it is
a tribal secret."
i Allison gasped. "And you said
Jit was 'just business!' It sounds
Hike something out of Ali Baba!"
r "It's a hell of a deal," Barry
isald irritably. "When we need
that quicksilver the way we do
and we're willing to pay plenty
Ifor it"
She laughed with delight. "That
blood oath of theirs in your books!
iThey can't really be tempted by
ihigh prices?"
"Apparently they haven't been,
since the time of Alvarado," Barry
ladmitted gloomily.
"Then you're on a wild goose
chase yourself," she said trium
phantly. j "I'm not so sure." He thrummed
jnervous fingers on the rail. "In
mil this boning up on their tradi
itions, I think I've got an argu
ment to use on them. They're
pretty high class, you know. In
tegrity. You can't help them.
.That's their strength. But I'm
going to ask them to help us."
i "And why should they help
us?"
"Because the allies are fighting
for the same thing they've strug
gled to hold for centuries. Free
dom. Independence. We're their
blood brothers in those respects.
I'm going to try to make them
isee that, I have a feeling they
imlght open up at least a couple
jot their mines for rapid exploita
tion in such a cause."
, Allison touched her. cigaret to
the rail and watched the sparks
float down towards the dark
iKwellff of wafer. She murmured.
'"Brother, you're talking strong
tuff."
'.''.
T ARRY laughed, regretting now
IJ-' he'd told her o much and
'been so eloquent about It He said
Qightly to cover his previous out
burst, "It won't hurt to try, any
iway. The other fellows kept of
iferlng them more money. - That
"didn't work. ..."
i She said, "Others? Were there
ethers hero before you?"
'1 "Two." . ,. .
I . i'How fld they treat them??..
NEA SERVICE. INC.
"The first one ' reported they
were a little short with him."
, "And the second?"
; "The second one didn't coma
back."
She stared at him a full minute,
horror deepening In her eyes.
"But then you're In danger!" she
cried. "Why didn't you stop me
tonight? All of us shouting those
Quiche words!"
He laughed shortly. "Nonsense," ;
he snapped. "The second man
was probably bitten by a snake.
Or delayed somewhere. You see,
that imagination of yours would
play havoc with you in this coun
try. Now get in there and pack,
and I'll take you back to the
mainland."
She stood flattened against the
rail, her honey-colored hair blow
ing back from the white piquant
outline of her face, her eyes dark
blurs.
"I can't," she said. There was
a tangle of laughter and bewilder
ment in her voice. "I don't know
why. Maybe it's the jungle
maybe it's you. But I'm going on.
Barry recognized decision. With
a snort of anger and impatience
he turned and strode off.
"Wait a minute!" she whispered,
and ran after him. She rounded
the forecastle 10 feet behind him
in time to see the dark, naked
figure of a native detach itself
from the black shadows of the
hatch! Her scream rang through
the dark night a second too late.
The native had leaped the gleam
of a knife in his upraised hand!

The world today Is full of dis
illusioned people who have
fought hard to gain success and
who havo emerged from tlio
struggle with an empty feeling.
They may have won the things
which they went after, but in do
ing so they have found that they
have lost touch with people.
They have their gold, but are
themselves desolate and friend
less. Rev. Joseph R. Sizoo of
Now York.

Thanks from
SKATELAND
We wish to thank the many
people of Klamath Falls and
vicinity for their patronage
during our almost 6 years
skating operation in this city,
in both our portable rink and
Skateland. It has been a
pleasure to work with the
thousands of young people
and we might add, it has
been profitable. But due to
existing conditions that have
taken thousands of our fine
boys and girls into service
and defense work, and with
an opportunity to lease our
rink for 6 months with an
option to sell our Interests to
the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, we have drawn a con
tract with this organisa
tion, who with the music of
Pappy Gordon and his orch
estra will offer the public a
dance floor in the center of
Klamath Falls that is equal
to any floor in the state. We
sincerely hope their success
at dancing will be as good as
skating has been for us.

NEW AERIAL DEFENSE
WASHINGTON, (P) You
don't, the office of war Informa
tion explains, hang "Flying Fort
resses" in the sky and use thorn
for aerial pillboxes.
Dr. Gerald Wlnfleld, who
works for the OWI in China, told
a group of American reporters
here that a Chungking newspa
per not long ago told its readers
that what the wartime capital
of China needed was three "Fly
ing Fortresses," which when
hung in the sky at the corners
of Ihe city would, fend off any
possible Japanese bombing at
tacks. The alarming upswing In
crime among women and girls
points to the need for renewed
efforts to kcop the home front
clean, wholesome and strong.
