THIS WEEK

Janet's eyes filled suddenly with tears. She
turned quickly and darted back into the room.
Colonel Esparza guffawed loudly.
The bombardment will start at dawn
tomorrow" he said triumphantly. AFTER the
first shot | think the Seiiorita will tell her
secret" He looked at John with malicious
smile.
Johns eyelds narrowed He longed to get
his hands on the Colonel's thick throat.
What are you going to do with me" he
asked, until tomorrow"
The Colonel clapped him on the back.
You've been fine interpreter he said
jovially so I'm not going to shut you up.
You can sit on the veranda if you want to-"
Thanks" John turned and pushed through
the ring He was eager to get away from the
Colonel's odious smile, and he wanted a
chance to think. Shutdown was approaching
He had only about twelve hours in which
to act.
John noticed that rather stupid-looking
soldier with revolver and machete had been
detailed to watch him. But he paid no atten-
ton and sat down in wicker rocking chair.
The veranda was very cool and peaceful after
the disagreeable scene in the patio. In an
open space to one side of the Plaza stood the
two field guns. They had been dragged out
from the side street and were already trained
on the fort. Around them were scattered little
piles of ammunition, covered with dry palm
fronds Two sentries stood on heaps of the
same material, to protect their feet from the
hot ground The rest of the space was Uttered
with the wooden boxes in which the shells had
been packed.
Damn bad practice" thought John idly.
Then suddenly thrill of excitement ran
through his whole body. He got up and
walked to the corner of the veranda. The
guard watched him suspiciously but didn't

grey green eyes showed no fear, only loathing
and defiance. Then she saw John. She gave
a little cry and tried to move toward him,
but the dark girl pushed her back.
"Janetw demanded JOHN What have they
done to you?"
Nothing to me-" cried the girl angrily.
"But they came up to the mine and killed our
two best men. They were looking for the
concentrates We struck wonderful pocket

thousand dollars worth. But | hid them.
won't tell where they are"
Her voice was shril and defiant John
looked uneasily around the semicircle of
brutal faces. Careful, " he said ''Maybe some
of them speak English"
"Yes," said Janet. THAT one speaks
few words" She pointed to a little rat of
man in dirty white trousers and blue shirt
''But don't care. They know all about the
concentrates. Fathers up in the fort. He's
awfully sick, but they're trying to make
him tell where they are. He doesn't know.
though And Ill never tell, no matter what
they do to me-"
John was about to reply but Colonel
Esparza stepped rudely between them. "She
doesn't speak Spanish" he said to John,
land my interpreter is useless. So will tell
you what happened. Then you will tell her
what I'm going to do"
"An right" said John coldly.
1--WE took the town without trouble" said
Colonel Esparza. "Seiior Crothers was sick in
this hotel. waiting for the boat. The govern
ment soldiers took him into the fort with
them. Then we went up to the mine. We
couldn't find the concentrates, so we brought
the Senorita back with US. We supposed that
Senor Crothers would tell us where they were
when he found that we had possession of his
daughter He has heard about me. He knows
what I'm like" Colonel Esparza laughed sig
nifcantly. The soldiers echoed his laugh.
1T won't do any good to threaten the old
man" said John. He doesn't know where the
concentrates are"
John bit his tongue when he saw the look

on the Colonel's face. He wished he hadn't
spoken, but it was too late The Colonel
advanced step toward the girl.
Then" he said slowly, 1.-The Senorita
must have hidden them herself" He advanced
another step. Janet shrank back.
There are ways" said the Colonel, ''of
persuading man to tell secret. There is
fire. There are little knives There are the sun
and thirst. l know them ALL" He advanced
another short step toward Janet.
with girl it is different" he said slowly.
There is quite another way. When the girl is
as pretty as the Sehorita. it is very pleasant to
persuade her."
1t took every ounce of Johns moral
strength to keep from some sort of foolhardy
action. But he knew his own life and Janet's.
too, depended upon his selfcontrol.
you've got to tell them, Janet" he said.
II WON'T
you've got to tell, cried John desperately.
"You mustn't sacrifice yourself for little
money, Janet"
II won't tell." said Janet. ut isn't money.
My fathers broke. The mines mortgaged. He
hasn't thing In the world except those con-
centrates And he's got black water fever.
He'll die if we can't hire plane and get him
to the Canal Zone and take proper care of him.
Have you enough money for that?"
mo, haven't" admitted John.
Then can't tell
John turned to Colonel Esparza. You'd
better leave her alone" he warned. "If you
don't, the American government will hunt you
out of every country in the world"
II know" said the Colonel. ut will be
inconvenient So shall do it only as a last
resort = tomorrow. First l shall lombard
the fort. Perhaps she will tell when she sees
the shells exploding inside"
They're going to shell the fort, " translated
John to Janet. 1T wasn't built against
modern artillery. The shells will punch right
through the walls. What's the use of saving
your father from fever if he's going to be
killed anyway"

order him back. For several minutes John
studied the contours of the ground with the
trained eye of mining engineer. Then he
went back to his chair
''Its cinch," he decided. "If can only
get out tonight"
Night comes quickly in the tropics. After
an early dinner John went to his room. fol-
lowed closely by his guard, who took his stand
against the wall of the corridor. John sat down
by the barred window, staring out at the
darkness beyond.
Gradually the day noises died away Heavy
feet tramped along the corridors Doors
slammed. Loud voices fell to undertones: then
to whispers and low laughter Then silence
The noises of the night began A small bird
gave twanging, metallic cry like the sound
of a jews s-harp. The palm honds ratified
outside in the breeze from the mountains, like
the sound of falling rain, The notes of guitar
came family from far away.
John sat in the darkness for two hours,
watching the silhouette of small lizard on
the bars of the window, cruising slowly for
sleepy flies. Then he got up and opened the
door. There was little light in the corridor
from lamp around corner The guard was
still leaning against the wall, his feet sur
rounded by a ring Of cigarette stubs. He
looked up and put his hand on the butt of his
revolver
Soldier" whispered John dsarmingly,
there's young girl at the window. She
wants to talk with you"
The soldier eyes lit up. He put his finger
to his lips and tiptoed stealthily through the
door of the room. John hit him powerful
blow on the point of the chin. The man went
limp. John closed the door and bound the
soldiers hands and feet with his belt and a
trunk strap. He gagged him securely with a

the knot forced deep be-
tween his jaws. He took his
revolver and machete. Then
he went out and locked the
door behind him.
All was quiet in the patio.
John went cautiously past
the door of Janet's room,
but he didn't stop. 1t was
locked, he knew, and the
dark-skinned girl, Rosita,
was sleeping there too. In
the kitchen two servants lay
on mats beside the charcoal
cooking stove. but they
didn't stir. He reached the
back door, a thick clump of
banana trees outside, and
the safety of the night.
The town was very dark,
as only a town without elec-
trio lights can be. Gradually
Johns eyes became accus-
toned to the faint starlight,
and he began to recognize
the objects he'd memorized
before the sun had set. He
forced his way through the
banana thicket, twisting
around the clumsy trunks
and pushing aside the heavy
leaves. Presently he came
out in the open and saw the
cylindrical shape of the gas
oine tank above him on the
hill. He scrambled over the
wall and dropped into the
reservoir on the other side.
He lay back against the
wall of the reservoir, strain
ing his eyes to see all the de-
tails of the situation. The
wallwasmade ofhard-packed
earth. 1t was about three
feet thick and four feet
high. 1t ran along the side
of the hill in a long curving
line, the ends turning up
ward to join the slope.
Finally John got up and
went to the far end of the
reservoir, we'll over the crest
of the ridge from the hotel
on the other side. He had
picked the spot by daylight.
He knew he was making no
mistake. With the soldiers
machete he began digging a
small tunnel through the
base of the wall. 1t took him
about ten minutes. Finally

TODAY'S
Sports Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 81. U,P) - You
can blame this story on the reporter
who filled two columns of the news
paper today with an article from
Garmisch-Pa jtenkirchen, Germany,
telling of the Olympic winter games
which start in that mountain fast
ness next week. We read it, with its
description of the snow, the ice, and
biting winter winds, while stretched
out on the beach under a broiling
sun and clothed in just enough ray
ment to keep inside the legal limit.
But we hadn't reached the third
paragraph before our mind was back
at Lake Placid, New York, and the
winter games of the 1882 Olympic.
What flood of memories that little
town and those games recall!
The story from Garmisch-Parten-
kirchen said the bob run for the 1886
games would have turns equally as
dangerous as Eyrie, Whiteface, and
zig-zag the Devil corners of Lake
Placid's Mt. Won Hoeve Berg run,
Yes, but will they, with the ther-
mometer reading zero, have a re-
porter watching from their banks
whose only protection against the
cold are a lightweight flannel suit
and patent leather shoes? We had

them as they shuffled through the

But it was hard to laugh at their

Pasadena junior college, Santa
Ana junior college, and Riverside
Junior college have all suffered the
bite of this Bear team from out of
Arizona.
Will Attempt Revenge
Every trick and all their knoWl-
edge of basketball will be used
by the Arabs in a bold attempt
to revenge these Southern Califor-
MIA defeats.
This years Bear team represent
ing Phoenix Jaycee is comparable
to the championship squads of
1929 and 1880 in that it is rather
rangy, averaging around six feet
per man, and using a fast break
ing offense, man-tc-man, as we'll
as the zone type of defense. The
team, although slow in developing,
appears to have exceptional scor-
ing ability and is one of the best
teams in Arizona.
Ell Centre Starters
Coach Taylor of the El Centre
squad will probably start Archie
Drennen, Dutchie Van Nostrand,
Jack Delozier, Don WithroW and
Dave Ryerson.
