Don't you think it natural for
a fairly clever woman to be a bit
envious Of one who is absolutely
clever? You'd outwit me in any
game we happened to be playing.
And I'm not always clear as to
your motives"
mop said Rosa with some-
thing like a chuckle in her voice.
"You do not know what it is
am up to? Maybe it is nothing I
am up to. Maybe it is simple /
am, and cit is you who make al
ways the thing to go itself In
circles"
In the moment Of silence which
came so naturally this time /
was facing all the possibilities Of
the situation in which I found
myself.
1t is possible that both Ralph
and Jim are wrong. Rosa appears
to have no motive in letting me
do the publicity for young Ortiz's
South American shipping inter.
ests. Nor does she seem to feel
any rancor at the idea of my
getting on a friendly basis with
her young admirer. But just
what Rosa doesn't appear to be
feeling and thinking is likely to be
her real attitude. Suddenly I de.
cided to give up indirection and
make a frank attack on her mo-
tives.
Rosa" l. said slowly and
thoughtfully, 'you have puzzled
me to the point Of goading me to
come out and ask a direct ques-
ton. I can't understood why our
Shipping Corporation is blocked
in its efforts to get South Ameri-
can business. Now that you've
told me that Manuelo Ortiz is
acting as manager Of the greatest
steamship companies down there
I'm wondering If the situation is
going to change"
Rosa watched me through mar
rowed eyes.
"You are in the Shipping Cor
poration much interested" she
asked.
1 thought Of bringing up the
point that own stock, but I
decided against It.
"You know I'm doing all their
publicity, don't your" I asked.
She nodded.
"And now through you I seem
in fair way to get the publicity
for Manuelo's company" / went
on slowly. Naturally I'd be in
clined to work for the interests
Of both clients. AS naturally I'd
try to bring them together. You
didn't miss that point, I'll VOW"
mo, do not miss him." said
Rosa in a tone which sounded
casual and which nevertheless
seemed to me fraught with mean.
ing.
$50, Of course" I managed at
last, blurting out my point in q
tone which 1 strove to make also
sound casual in turn, II can't
help supposing rnat you really
want the Shipping Corporation
and the Ortiz companies to get to-
gether. If you didn't, you
wouldn't put me in this middle
man position where they are con-
cerned."
Rosa smiled and leaned for
ward in a manner which sug-
gested friendly coincidence.
"You bring them together
now?" she asked.
The eagerness in her voice
warned me. Again realized that
the clever Cordova is an intri-
gante with whom no simple, di-
rect person is fit to cope.
do you want me to?" I par
ried.
Rosa shrugged her shoulders,
disdainfully.

Resta was a well-known figure at
the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

in 1918. In his blue Peugeot he led
the field for $50 miles and then en-
gagged in a thrilling 100-mile battle for

mile mark Resta scraped the wall IN
a skidding turn and from that point
surrendered the lead to De Palma,
the winner, contenting himself with
second place.

other important races that year. In
1916 he won the Indianapolis race,
easily. maintaining the lead from
the start. The race that year was
500 miles.
