at last the rains came to the valley
and Fazenda Flores. Gerry spent long
hours beside his sluicegate watching
for rise in the river, but 1t did not
come. The torrent Of rain was local
and he remembered that Lieber had
told him that the f1oods-the great
f0ods-came from hundreds Of miles
up the river and generally under a
brazen sky. Night, black night, had
fallen with the rain and he was just
turning to seek shelter from the IN
broken downpour when voice raised
in song reached his ears. He waited.
The voice drew nearer. In a nasal
tone, which somehow sounded familiar
though 1T was unknown to him, it was
chanting long string of doggerel end
ing In an unvarying refrain. Finally
Gerry could make out the long-drawn
tail-end of the song: comm down the

succession. Gerry strove to pierce
the darkness. He could hear the near

their way through puddles with flnick

the darkness and could just see above

can't expect me to be surprised, can
you? We seem to have a habit of
meeting when you are on the point Of
going away. There. You must be In
a hurry. Good-by," and she held out
a gloved hand.
Alan's spirit was ever ready for war
and this, he suddenly perceived, was

about her and lit the color in her

Whether the letters contain evidence
Of further plotting on American terri
tory is not yet known. Leeuw insists
that they do. The police plan con-
ference with representatives OF the I'M
perial German Embassy, however, IN an
effort 10 learn the real significance OF
