If Estrilla hoped that he would hear
further clearance of these mysteries
at the dock, he was disappointed. AS
he passed the gate, Rosalie shot from
under shadow of truck. She glanced
to right and left. None of the roust-
abouts was looking or listening.
"That first gangplank," she said.
"The Captains aboard expectin' you.

knows the rest. You'll change clothes

Now for the first time in her dialogue
with him, soft emotion entered her
voice. "An' God be good to you'll" she
said. She turned him almost roughly.

After a time, she began talking I'M

He sat facing the door; he perceived
her first; he rosf with an expression
Of real surprise and pleasure. "Why.
Mrs. LIE Grange! How did you get
here2' he said. But now his eye
caught Betsy-Barabara. She, too, had
risen, as one who acts at last after
long strain of repression. Her color
came and went; she was looking at
Rosalie and then back at Estrilla.
'Miss Lane" said Rosalie in quiet
meaning voice, well excuse you. Fake
your coat, dear"
Nstriila opened his mouth as though

stopped. His eyes were on Rosalie.

tion can't afford to make scene in a

Estrilla sank with an unsteady mo-
zion into his chair. AT this physical
support, he seemed to grip his nerve.

tion? Why do you come this way
Why"
Listen. First of all, I'm your
friend. Get that right away!-I'm
here to help you. An I'm in a hurry.

Estrilla gripped the arms Of his
chair; the green shade crept back. He
lnoissened his lips once or twice with
his tongue.
"Remember!" went on Rosalie under
naF voice. "no scene. Hold on to your

lonely park bench, half hidden in the
ehrubbery. When she turned to look
him full in the face again, his color
was normal; he had regained his grip.
And he spoke with touch of his old
hoyish insouciance.

could perceive behind his mask kind
of vibration, an inner agitation of all
his nerves. But his will still mas

"Margarita Perez-who is she?"
"She is your sister. You are Juan

Estrilla, with pitiful attempt to put
