er. "I1"
They were off, catching step, swing
ing into the shadows of the paseo.
Mr.. Britton, smiling, wavered, and
went after them, trailed by Ramon.
eff you don't say something to
Ruth, Mildred" announced Mrs
Fletcher, undaunted, 81 SHALL"
Edith Fletcher adored Ruth. She
had for almost a month. Really from
the first day, perhaps the first hour,
of this new and marvellous Ruth's re-
turn, after so many years of absence.
The Ruth Edith had remembered
despised little Edith and was given to
unkind practical jokes, played without
conjunction or any hint of warning.
That old Ruth cursed amazingly in
Spanish and had once, in unreasonable
fury, horsewhipped stable boy.
Now in amazing Transformation,
the deep permanent tan was gone.
Her mouth had obscurely softened.
Something had happened to her dark
blue eyes that awakened in Edith the
ecstatic sensation of wanting to die
for her.
Mother will be mad" said Edith as
they got back.
"Let her be. No matter what she
says, just don't pay any attention.
After while she'll get tired and
STOP"
"Say, this is pretty good" declared
Ramon.
"She probably won't let me go rid
ing for a week." hazarded Edith. eff
she won't will you come down and see
me sometimes ?"
"Of course, dear. And she won't do
anything at all, if you, just keep still"
They reached the Britton home and
went on the roof. The negro servant
came up with tray covered with bot
ties and a great cake of ice, which he
bore to a punch bowl. Her mother was
holding Mr.. Nortz's arm; she SEEM
ed to have forgotten Edith.
cts nice up here, Britt" Edith
heard her father say.
Ramon started the phonograpA.
Much later, it must have been one
or two o'clock, Edith saw Mr.. Nortz
watching Ruth as she danced, an in
tent, brooding expression on his dull
face. Edith was suddenly conscious
that her mother was looking in that
direction. Her mother looked very
funny, she thought.
Mr.. Nortz turned his head.
"She's so pretty" blurted Edith.

ter and I'll be grateful if you'd use
your influence to keep him from drink
ing to much. I'm afraid at Princeton
he acquired very bad habits. That
is"
ct can't imagine that I'd have any
influence with him" she began.
ooh, but you would, my dear. He
admires you so much"
After that Ruth escaped from the
room. She was filled with a warm
sympathy for young Miguel Bautizo.
My God, she thought helplessly he
lives with it.
It was late afternoon when Lancey
Micks came onto the end of the Las
Ciebas Road, barely a mile out Of San
Mario. This had once been swamp,
but the company's sanitary engineers
had long ago drained it. On the right
was pig-sty of a matched hut.
He looked sharp to his right. A
negro woman called Quita lived there
with numerous children. Lancey
Micks saw her now and his brown face
wrinkled. "Adios!" he said.
"Mestair Micks! You have a ciga-
rette?"
He rode over and picked a paper
package from his shirt pocket, holding
it down to her. "Take them ALL"
"Many thanks" she said.

"Adios."
"Many thanks for the cigarettes"
Lancy pondered on Martinez, on the
stealthy doings at Santa Catalina.
San Maio was in front Of him, with
its half dozen squared streets.
Ramon Fondevilla, his hair smooth
and shiny, pushed open the Micls'
back gate. He went up the path, re-
solved that this evening he would
overcome that paralysis Ruth's pleas
antly dark head and white-lidded eyes
had on him.
He came into the patio and saw Mr..
Fletcher and Mr.. Micks sitting with
cigars and highball glasses behind the
screen doors of the living room. Ruth
had gone half an hour before.

is the prettiest thing on earth"
Her mother, she was aware, still
looked at them. She wanted to go
home where she couldn't see Mr..
Nortz looking at Ruth or Ramon
dancing with her.
Later in her own room her mother
faced her.
"Well, Edith, I'd like you to explain
your conduct this evening""
"What conduct, Mummy"
"Going off with Ruth"
ooh, Mother, it didn't hurt any,"
81 told you not to-"
She was tired, awfully tired, and
family cold. She clasped her arms
over her breast. "I'm sorry, Mummy"
81 will not put up with disobedience
Edith. / will not have you behaving
the way Ruth does"
81 think perhaps if you do not have
your horse next week, you may re-
member it better. and furthermore, !
won't have you going up to the
Micks'.
"You hate Ruth, don't you," she
said.
II think she's just silly, rude, un-
attractive girl" Mrs. Fletcher said.
Mrs. Miguel Bautizo was consumed
with curiosity. Young Miguel Bau-
tizo's wife had just declared that it
was so nice to have Ruth back. It was.
She sat in the cool gloom of the
small downstairs room in the Casa
Vivienda, which she liked to call her
office. The Venetian blinds wave a
comforting dimness. Airy blown
glass, forming unexpectedly a vase,
was full of yellow roses. Mrs. Bau-
tho, clad in white silk of classic sim
plicity, wore opals, a casual gift from
her father-in-law, the great Don Mi
uel. Probably there were no opals on
earth comparable to them, and certain
ly they were worth a fortune.
81 DON'T" said Mrs. Bautizo to
Ruth, smiling radiantly, want to see
you and Mrs. Fletcher not getting on
together"

Saturday night, reflected Ruth rap
idly, Sunday, Monday afternoon-that
was pretty quick work. Mrs. Bau-
tizo's curiosity was no idle one. Ruth
widened her eyes a little. "Mrs.
Fletcher and I are very good friends, j."
she said mildly.
Ruth visualized the satisfaction of
replying bluntly. 81 suppose Mrs
Fletcher is annoyed with me because
she thinks I have some interest in
M. Nortz."
"You know" the elder woman con-
tinued, Gin a perfectly nice way, Mr..
Nortz and Mrs. Fletcher have always
been awfully fond of each other. ANY
man, my dear, might easily be attract
ed to you" "I think" she said wise
ly, "Mr. Nortz has BEEN" She made
quick gesture. "You have a good
deal in common"
Ruth said automatically, 81 really
haven't encouraged him, Mrs. Bautizo"
"Of course not" said Mrs. Bautizo
with alacrity."
"What do you think / ought to do, "
Ruth asked.
"Has Mr.. Nortz shown definitely
that he is interested in you?" Mrs.
Bautizo askd.
eff you mean," said Ruth, rendered
brutal, "has he made love to me, he
hasn't. I haven't any interest in Mr..
Nortz, Mrs. Bautizo. It's hard for
me to tell him I'm not interested in
him when he really hasn't told me he
is interested in me-"
"I'm not" said Mrs. Bautizo amaz-
ingly pushing into your affairs, I
simply thought you could perhaps, if
you realized how it affected Mrs.
Fletcher, find some means of, well,
discouraging Mr.. Nortz-"
81 certainly haven't any intention of
encouraging him, Mrs. Bautizo-
Really the woman was impossible.
"Let me know if there's any way
I can help you," said Mrs. Bautizo. It
was astounding. ooh, and Ruth, dear,
there is one other thing which you
could help me with. You've been so
kind to Ramon. In many ways he is

going to happen is that the big boys
will have a conference in Habana with

sayings about what Cuba needs. God

of all the little independent mills they

The cinema was ending, disgorging
people into the middleartic ignited
plaza. They arose, and went out to
the cars at the curb.
"Well, 1 hope you got great deal
of business done," said Mrs. Fletcher,
on Mr.. Nortz's arm.
"Lots of important business down
at my place." promised Mr.. Britton
smiling. "No! I'll walk. You haven't
