CHAPTER VI
rSE young woman In the gay
dress moved swiftly to Major
Jackson's side.
There was a posscssivencss
bout her whole attitude that
Irked Beth Carter.
, "Lieutenant Carter, this is Miss
Uta Danton," ant sam.
"How do you do." Beth said.
l"You dear girl you're dressed
to oddly," was Llta's answer.
' Beth steeled herself and kept
back the retort.
. Lita knew instinctively that her
presence disturbed Beth, and she
was satisfied in the recognition.
Perhaps this girl's anger would
prove useful someday, she
thought Besides, who was any
girl to take a moment of any
man's time if Lita wanted that
moment?
' "It seems so odd, calling a
woman by an army officer's title,"
' Lita continued. "So out of place
you know. Oh, I suppose I'm
old-fashioned, and believe a wom
an's place is in a man's arms."
' Beth made no reply. Major
Jackson was maneuvering Lita
Danton away.
i "Lita, how on earth did you
get here, and what are you doing
In this part oZ the world?" Jack
son asked.
"You thought I was 5000 miles
away, didn t you?" Lata asked.
"I confess I did."
TETH felt very uncomfortable.
Lita was monopolizing Brit
now, and there seemed no part of
the present instant that belonged
to Beth.
"No, my darling boy, I'm not
8000 miles away. I'm like the
proverbial bad penny."
, "Yes," Beth thought, "and per-
ihaps in more ways than one."
, "I told you I'd show up just
when you least expected me to,"
Uta purred. "You've lost track of
me, but I've followed you all these
years through your joining up
and getting a commission and be
ing promoted to a major's rank."'
', "I was lucky," Brit said.
Brit's thoughts went back to
the time he first knew Lita. She
had been a glamorous woman re
porter when, he was still an un
dergraduate at Berkeley. Lita
Canton was sophisticated and
worldly wise even then, and he
had felt quite sophisticated him-'
self escorting her to the rough-and-tumble
waterfront dance halls
that came back to life with 3.2
beer.
"From second lieutenant to ma
jor in a year." Lita spoke flatter
ingly. "Why, you were only a
second lieutenant three months. I
think you are someone worth
watching."
"Better get the FBI, then," Brit
joked.
Beth fancied she saw a trace
of a shadow cross Llta's face. But
It disappeared into a torrent of
light conversation.
Beth tried to estimate the wom
an. She was furious at Lita for
her deliberate sarcasm and snubs.
She was furious at Brit Jackson
for letting Lita get away with it
And finally she was furious at
herself, for allowing the incident
to hurt her. It was a situation
(hardly prescribed for In Army
regulations.
Brit had told Beth she was the
only woman on this remote Pacific
island. Now Lita had appeared.
Was Brit's surprise entirely real?
"How's everything back in San
Francisco?" Brit asked Lita.
"I haven't been there for the
longest time," Lita answered.
affectedly. "I've been working out
I in the Orient Very interesting
i work. Brit, dear, I've learned a
smattering of two languages since
iwe last saw each other."
"Your progress Is amazing,"
Beth said.
T ITA turned toward her with a
"What are you still here?"
glance.
"Yes, I think so," Lita said. "I
think so. And I think a consider

able number of other persons
think so, too."
"I'm suro they do," Beth said.
Now she was angry at herself
again, for entering into such a
verbal exchange.
Lita took Brit Jackson's arm.
"Wo must go for a stroll. We
haven't seen each other for so
long," she said. "Where do you
want to take me down this path,
or to your headquarters?"
"Well, to toll you the truth . . ."
"I never like the truth," Lita
said gaily. "It will be your head
