A few hours later Marcia Tread

face with cold cream and settled
On q chaise Tongue to think and
decide what to do next. Obviously
there must be certain ways to go
about finding a person but she had
never considered them before and
found herself fumbling. If she con-
suited detective she might bring
pablito closer to the authorities
than she wished. There was no
doubt by now that a description
of him had been broadcast widely
together with the fact of his sup
posed crime.
She frowned, rubbed away the
frown, and then closed her eyes
30 tightly that small wrinkles
stodo out around them.
At that moment Lottie, Beau
and Pablito were seated at q table
in small, dingy cafe looking out
on an equally dreary street. Ma
tives of the town crowded on thu
narrow sidewalk outside to see
the strangers who had come there
to eat.
A waiter, wearing a far from
Immaculate apron, stood ready to
take the order.
you are ready and well ahead
for the carnival tomorrow" he
commented, looking at the di-
sheveled costumes of the three pa
irons. Pablito, knowing the Span

], to be too early than too late"
True, Senior, the waiter
agreed. "And many begin the
fete this night" He decided that
Pablito, despite his light hair and
eyes, was a native. None but ma
fives spoke Spanish in this way,
without accent. The other two
were not Cubans because Cubans

was little odd, the waiter de-

entered the cafe to eat more than
he had planned to eat--and pay

Lottie entreated, cor III Leaf the

1T will be half an hour at the
best" Pablito said. Hurry is the
one thing that does not thrive in
this climate"
"What's the name of this
burg?" Lottie asked then.
4Name it and you can have it,"
Beau told her laziIy.
Maybe we can find the name
on the station" Lottie suggested
since no one answered her ques-
ton.
Beau responded energetically
with, my Gawd, there amt no
station! IL a train run in here
it would roll over on it's back,
sniffle twice, set to snoring and
sleep forever. That's how much
life there Is around here. Pipe
the line outside the window!
Guess we're givin' EN- some ex-
element"
"Where we goin' from here,
Beau?" Lottie leaned across the
table.
"Havana," he answered. Never
hide when you're supposed to.
It's always a give-away - hidin'.
We're goin' to Havana and goin'
to the carnival tomorrow. We'll
get enough here to start. There's
no danger here. I'll bet they don't
get more than one newspaper a
week in this town and the man
who gets it is probably too sleepy
to read anything except who won
the lottery. Look active and
alert, don't they?" he ended as
he glanced toward the line out
side, crowding and jostling one
another in order to see the stran-
gers better.
A gentleman who tWirled his
rnoustaches entered then and asked
the trio to drink with him. Pablito
thanked him and in turn asked
him to drink. Then they both re-
fused one another with many
thanks and SO ended that custom
AIRY ceremony.
"You oughta be able to pick up
considerable loot tomorrow, Lot
fie," Beau stated. She nodded.
"You any good at that kind of
thing?" he asked, turning to Pab-
Ito.
II don't believe So"
"Hell, how you goin' to make
living?" Beau asked.
IT don't know" Pablito an

'T'll look out for you, honey"
said Lottie quickly and warmly.
"Oh, I'll get along" Pablito
assured them with more conf
