BEGIN HERE TO-DAY

riage when she thought Barry was lost to her.
 2 She employs LOTTIE CARR, Q fashion model, as her secretary Companion and they set out for South America, where Barry and STEVE SACCARELLI are part ners in . diamond mine. MOna's brother, BUD, works at the mine Mona hopes for a reconciliation with Barry. She also feels Barry is entitled to . share of his un- cle's fortune and wants to find way to arrange this legally.
 Learning that Barry and Steve are, on vacation at Holiday Is- :. land. the girls leave their boat at Port of Spain. There, quite by accident, they meet Bud.
 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER XXXVI1I Bud rose and walked toward the party, his hand extended. Why, Mona! What are you doing here?
 His sojourn In the tropics had im- proved Bud. His carriage was straighter. The furtive look had disappeared from his eyes. We were looking for you -" Mona told him. She flung her arms about her brother and Bud blushed beneath his tan.
 ''I'm a pilot now" he explained. up here to handle somo business for the mine. Then I've got to streak for Holiday
 Can you take a couple of pas- sengers?" Lottie cried.
 "Of course. Did you get Nmy wire?"
 They sat down at a table and Bud signaled to a waiter. Mona asked. Where is Holiday? Lottie and l have been at the binocular half the day down."
 'Oh, it's up north bid. Sixteen hours by boat when you can get one. One hour by plane"
 And you'll take us with you?"
 Sure thing" But grinned boy ishly. But we can't take off until tomorrow. I have some business on hand"
 The girls were content to remain now that the end of their search was in sight. Taking leave of Bud, who promised to telephone later, Mona and Lottie. registered at the hotel, prepared for luncheon and presently joined pr Allen on a sightseeing trip.
 Bud telephoned in the evening while they were at dinner. They were to be ready at 10 o'clock next morning when he would call for them. He was remaining for the night in San Fernando.
 The Miranda sailed at nine and the two girls drove with the doctor to the jetty. AS they waited for the tender he said softly to Lottie, "1s the jury's verdict in yet?"
 I'm afraid so." She hesitated. "You know how I feel. But there are loads of girls"
 ''There are," he said ruefully. "BNt only one like you!"
 Maybe that's plenty" Lottie said cheerfully.
 ''If I can ever do anything for you" he began.
 "I'll let you know. That's a prom ise." Neither of them realized just how soon that promise would be kept"
 Bud called next morning while che girls were seated at a little table in their room having a break fast of coffee, toast and fruit. There would be a delay, Bud said. He COuIQ not BcI DpCh SO ol oA oPohA until four in the afternoon at the earliest. They would not, in any case. leave for Holiday Island until the following day.
 Let's go to an Indian temple or the pitch lake" suggested Mona. ''' But Lottie had varying ideas. The pitch lake was too far. The temple did not appeal. Did you notice the gentleman so closely re- sembling Clark Gable who sat in the lobby at tea? No? Then you certainly are in love with Barry!
 It appeared that not only had Lottie noticed the young man but he, in turn, had observed Lottie. He had appealed to the manager for an introduction and the intro duction had been managed when Lottie left Mona for a trip to the hair dresser's.
 Mr Grayson was an American in Port of Spain on business. He had suggested an outing for to-day. Ringing a bell, Lottie dispatched a note by the boy who responded. Grayson was delighted and would meet them in the lobby at their Convenience.
  and I want to think"
 Left alone, the prospect of think ing seemed less intriguing. Mona determined to set out in a cab for San Fernando to find Bud. AL though she would not admit 1t even to herself she was anxious about her brother. What was this bus mess" he referred to vaguely? Bar " and Steve trusted him, certainly, or they would not have sent him on a mission. He had learned to fly. He looked we'll. surely.
 Ordering a car, she prepared for the drive. She chose a gown of white linen with short sleeves. a white panama hat, square white purse and white shoes.
 The waiter brought her a basket as she rose from her seat on the terrace after the bellboy had an- nounced the arrival of her car. "Luncheon, Madame" the waiter said. There may be a few hostel rfes where one would care to rest. x You will provide for the chaffeur?"
 That had apparently had already been done. There was smaller package for the chauffeur.
 "Is the road to San Fernando quite safe ?" Mona asked the young man at the wheel of the motor car. 1 He smiled. His face, carved from coffee .colored marble, was hand some. His hands rested on the wheel with com petent assurance.
