| Monteros, as Diane Cascoden.
But" Thane lifted himself labo-
riously from his chair. But he will
also present certain documents to
Don Luis which will suggest that
Diane Cascoden may be his long
lost and long-sought grand daughter,
Elena Monteros.
But that Is fantastic. No one
would" Diane sought the proper
phrase. would fall for that"
You let that worry Senor Aur-
dock. senorita."
I'D be an imposter."
"You can. If you wish, tell Don
Luis that it is fantastic"
Diane Feels the Trap.
Diane felt the trap now. She
shrank from it, yet could not evade
It's closing paws. She said, But you
don't expect him to believe me?"
Naturally not. He will believe
Senor Murdock's documents
And if this Don Luis accepts me
as his granddaughter"
when that occurs" Junius Thane
said, you will receive further in
structionS."
Diane considered that. 1t was a
potential exit from the trap. She
could do as these two men wished
then, later she could back out that
exit. She nodded, and said, "I1l do
it," and saw the lawyer exchange
a satisfied glance with Shane Muir
dock
Good" Thane said. You won't
regret this. There's nothing dis
honest about it. It's strictly busi-
ness deal. You, senorita. will mere
ly be an influence, business prop"
And you will help Juan leave
Bolivar?"
"On my word, senorita," Junius
Thane said. IT shall smooth his
way with money. You need not
worry"
Shane Murdock said, "Well, let's
| get going, Diane"
Diane had q moment Of panic
when she saw Don Luis Monteros.
He was certainly not q man who
could be duped.
Don Luis Impressed.
He stood talking to one Of his
plantation overseers in the gateway
of his walled hacienda. He was
| tall. gaunt man with thin, snow
white beard. His face was sharp.
his nose prominent and his mouth
large His eyes were black piercing.
and If the man was old those eyes
were young He came forward as
Shane stopped his car He removed
his broad -brimmed panama and
bowed.
"Senor Murdock, welcome. Sen
Orita-"
Diane heard Shane introducing
her as the senortta he had spoken
about She saw Don Luis eyes light,
caught his slow smile. His eyes
studied her long, and he finally
nodded.
He murmured. as If to himself,
ut is surely She!'
In a room that might have been
in a mansion in old Madrid, Don
Luis sat facing Diane and Shane in
an antique ight-backed chair.
/ He looked a don; a fine Spanish
grandee. He was considering what
Shane had just said: that the senor-

hit the policeman If the officer dies,
Juan Cascoden will be charged with
murder"
Hes innocent" Diane said. "If
he was at this place, it was merely
to play poker"
But yet he was there" Thane
said. His reason for being there
will not matter to the police
Shane said angrily, 1T looks to
me as though Juan is being framed.
Well have to sneak him out of the
country"
Junius Thane sighed heavily.
"That," he observed, will take
money. Brides come high"
How much money!" Diane asked.
Perhaps $4,000, American"
But have no such sum-"
The fat man lifted fat hands in a
helpless gesture. Then. Juan is
heading for prison. Wherever he is,
he can't hide out long"
But if he is being framed, :"
Diane said, cant he prove it?"
I'm a San Luis court" Thane said
dryly, I'D rather be a guilty man
with an alibi than an innocent man
facing a frame. If Juan is arrested
and brought to trial, he's done for.
Like Senor Murdock says, he must
get out of the country"
But how?" Diane said helplessly.
Shane Points Way.
Shane Murdock came to DANES
side He said. low-voiced, ''Di, last
night Senor Thane offered you a
chance to make some big money.
Take it. and he'll see that Juan gets
back to the States"
DANES eyes turned to the lawyer.
Thane nodded his enormous head
my word, senorita. You do me a
small favor, and I shall do you and
Juan big one"
What must I do?"
"You must visit the Hacienda
Monteros up country. You need not,
as I suggested last night, pose under
another name-since that Is against
your principles"
"And what am I to do during this
visit?"
"Senor Murdock will accompany
you. He will present you to Don
Luis, owner Of the Haciends

ita was not convinced she was Elena
MonteroS.
He took framed picture from a
table and handed it to Diane. 1t
was an old photograph; the like
ness of girl DANES age. She was
like Diane, blond, gray-eyed. oval
faced. Diane did resemble the girl
in the picture. But, she imagined,
so would a thousand other blond,
attractive girls Comparison with
an old photograph proved nothing,
certainly not that she was the
daughter Of this woman.
Don Luis Explains.
Diane met Don Luis's eyes. But
remember my mother. She died
when I was 10, but remember her"
Your mother" Don Luis said,
died when you were 4. She wrote
letter just before her death stat
ing that she was leaving you with
friends for adoption. Your mother
E. - Sadness crept into Don Luis
voice. Your mother hated me.
She wrote that letter in bitterness,
saying in it that one day I would
