 Mexico Pleasure Jaunt

Four winners in the Better Times Drive contest have registered for the Old Mexico Tour, The Daily Alaska Empire Better Times editor said to- day.

 Miss Bayers, the first to register, will be enjoying her first trip to Seattle, and has never made a voy- age on any vessel of any size.

A bro her Lloyd "Kinky" Bayers, made his first trip to Seattle two years ago, and his stories of the wonders of the great Outside have only added to her curiosity.

here?'
I'm the new manager of the Matute Mine,
which belongs to Senior Crothers."
Colonel Esparza smiled broadly at John.
Then, my friend" he said slowly, II have
news for you. Senior Crothers is in the fort
over there with the government troops" He
pointed to low hill mile away, crowned
with the grey stone bastions of an old Spanish
tort. MY men have surrounded that place.
We shall lombard it tomorrow unless it sur
renders"
John noticed that his hands were trembling
He put them down on the table. He was
silent. He wanted to ask about Janet, but
didn't dare. The soldiers watched him closely.
Finally Colonel Esparza spoke again.
And also" he said with clumsy attempt
at romc politeness, II shalf1ike you to meet
a very charming friend of mine She will be
glad to see another American"
A shiver ran up Johns spine Silently he
followed Colonel Esparza into the central
patio of the hotel. The soldiers crowded after
and stood in semicircle in front of an inner
door.
"Rosita,' said Colonel Esparza to hand
some dark-skinned girl standing beside the
door. Bring out the American Sehorita.'

They had met in Joplin, Missouri, where
John was working for lead company They
had planned to be married soon, but Janets
father fell sick at his mine at Porvenir and
Janet hurried down to take care of him. John
couldn't follow at once. His contract with the
lead company had several months to run. So
he said good-by and hoped for the best.
AS soon as his contract expired, John
took boat from New Orleans. He had been at
sea single day when dictator fell. A small,
violent country f1ared into anarchy. Its single
radio station ceased working. Vague horrify-
ing rumors drifted indirectly to the ship -

losing the mines business persuaded the

This town is sure quiet now," thought
John. Its about two o'clock, though guess

There wasn't much to Porvenir The town
was merely small patch of white stucco
houses huddled between the steep foothills
and the waters edge. On the Plaza were an
old church, few small stores, and the hotel.
Three low ridges poked down like stubby
fingers between the houses On one of them
stood large gasoline storage tank, bright
with aluminium paint. 1t belonged to the

were waiting to meet him, only a small group
of negroes in straw hats and sandals cut from

Somewhere hidden away in the foothills
above the town, lay old man Crothers mine.
John was the new manager. 1t wasn't very
large mine or very important position, but
John wasn't interested in any other job. Old
man Crothers' daughter was Janet Crothers.
John was engaged to Janet and the whole
world revoved around her. He loved her for
her grey-green eyes, her soft brown hair her
slender graceful figure. But most of all he
loved her spirit and her courage Those are
the things that count
John Salter was a man of action and not
particularly reflective, but he realized that
it was just these qualities of character in
Janet which were responsible for the present
situation. She was little too independent.
A little too self-suffcient She made him
uneasy sometimes
