pered once, Eve didn't get the tip in time. We may be already too late"
 His concern over this heightened as more time passed. The two men edged over the rim, hearing nothing but distant night bird, and worked their way down near the narrow floor of the canyon. They found rock about the size of an automobile which could serve double purpose - it shielded them from the chill night breeze which raced up the canyon, and it would be a breastworks from pos- sible bullets too. They huddled beside it for a long half hour, lis tening intently.
 "If anybody's in this canyon now" Sherry whispered at last, 'They darn sure weren't moving. The walls are so close we'd surely have heard some sort of little noise or echo."'
 Fight" agreed Hope. "But they may come yet. If we aren't too late getting here"
 'I'm afraid we are. What time is it, say?"
 "It's past g." Hope answered, studying the stars. He had watch with luminous dial and a pocket flashlight too, but dared not use either now, of course.'
 From their position they could be fairly comfortable ana could surely discover any pedestrians or riders who might try to come up the can- yon. They unrolled blankets and wrapped up to combat the cold. Then they took turn on guard.
 The long night vigil was never interrupted. Not single unto- ward sound disturbed the officers At o'clock they ate bit of cold food and at 8 a. m. they crawled down - their khaki uniforms made a natural camoufiage from spies with field glasses, so long as they moved cautiously - and inspected the canyon floor. Twice they searched, carefully covering a wide area.
 Maybe we weren't too late, but too early" Sherry said when they had met again. Mot sign of a track either horses or mans" Me either" Hope nodded. "What'll we do, stick it out?"
 Guess so."
 They were putting themselves in for long, tedious task and they knew it; but patience is truly golden if you are a border guard. They settled down behind their rock and brush to wait until night should fall again - 12 long hours, and then more vigil at night.
 They passed the time talking, as only friends can. A lot of it was business, and very great deal of 1t was about Betty Mary Jordan and her unexpected appearance in their lives, but they did not allow the talk about her to get personal. Not a thing was said, all day,

A pretty post-Easter nuptial took place this morning at 8 o'clock at the Immaculate Conception church when Miss Anne P. Egan, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Martin J. Egan of Cooke street became the bride of John F. Ryan of Beecher avenue. Rev. Patrick Donnelly of New Ha- ven officiated at the ceremony and also celebrated the nuptial mass which followed. Palms and Easter lilies decorated the altar and spe- cial program of nuptial music was rendered by Professor Frederick Harmon, organist. Miss Helen Shea, cousin of the bride, was soloiSt rendering Ave Maria" and Moth CT, At Thy Feet I'm Kneeling."
 The bride had as her maid of honor and sole attendant, her sis- ter, Miss Margaret Egan and Mar

There would be few mouthfuls to browse there as well as conceal ment in daytime the men knew.
 Each man then hooked a quart canteen of water to his belt, and a rolled blanket containing little food was strapped military fashion to each back. Cartridge belts were already filled, pistols strapped on. Each removed a rifle from a sad dle holster and the two set out afoot, moving almost silently in the darkness. The night had only stars for guidance, and the threat ening black bulk of the mountains
 San Felipe Canyon properly begins six miles further up, where the new paved highway skirts the mouth of it," Hope remarked barely above a whisper now.
 That's why aliens are begin ming to use it. They can make il up the canyon at night to the high way, be picked up in cars and be well on the way Albuquerque oI Denver or some other inland point by daybreak. See?"
 "Sure. But it leads right on down to the fence too, doesn't it?'
 "Yeamp. And there's where we better wait. If we don't nab 'em soon as they cross the line they may take notion to scatter"
 "Okay. How many you guessll be in the party, Sherry?"
 ''No tellin'. Betty Mary didn't have the whole dope on it."
 They ceased talking and began moving now with the skill of long practice, slowly, silently, as an h. dian might go. Beyond the hori- zone line dead ahead was San Felipe Canyon.
 It was a small gorge, but its BOG feet or so of depth loomed forbid ding by night. Parts of its walls were sheer; a man could step over a rim and plunge to sure death be. low. All of it was a rocky rugged terrain, touched here and there b. thorny cacti which had to bt sensed by the crawling men.
 Don't stick up your head Hope warned his friend, unneces' sarily, whispering right into hi. ear. Hump your blanket ur around your neck. It'll keep youl silhouette from looking like man in case anybody should just hap pen to be gazing at the skyline" Flight" Sheridan whispered.
 They moved on all four - put ting first their rifles forward, then pulling up legs. If they had been older men they would have real ized that this was much like re- connoitering in No Mans Land in 1917, and indeed that's about what it was anyway. They had excellent reason to suspect that five or maybe 25 desperate aliens might be on the other side of this ridge, and they knew any such aliens would train hawk-like eyes for the officers from Fl Paso.
 "Worst thing is," Hope whis-

about the fact that Sheridan Starr already had asked her for first date. Both men sensed that such talk might lead them to dangerous ground.
 Never for moment did they imagine that she hadn't given them an accurate tip. They knew Mexican character, knew that Barro might have planned to send aliens over last night and then de- eide to postpone the crossing. They might have to wait several nights, sending one man back to care for the horses and to bring additional provisions for themselves. Barro, and all Latins, are like that; un- hurried, changeable. Sheridan and Hope had kept patient vigil before, were not unhappy now, especially with thoughts of Betty Mary to

entertain them.
 They lay low and slept some, one at time, during the day, but at sundown both were alert and on guard again. The second night was much like the first; lighted only by stars, silent and clear and rather cold. From 2 to 9 o'clock the two men scarcely whispered. At 10, Hope whispered, Needn't expect anything before midnight" and almost instantly corrected that opinion.
 Somewhere in the canyon, at that moment, a rock went tum- bling! A large, bounding pebble, nearby.
 Grasping his arm for silence, Hope felt Sheridan Starr's big muscles go tense beside him.
