nearly out in the open.
Meade to the Rescue.
John reached the Veranda. He
saw Shane Murdock and Diane
Cascoden at the far side of the patio.
He stepped down and walked toward
them, and saw they were unaware
of him as he approached through
the dark.
He heard Shane's voice full of
anger. You'll do as I say! Don't
be a fool" And he gripped DANES
arm, forced 1t behind her in twist
ing "trip. She cried out in pain and
anger.
John quickened his stride. He
saw danes face in the moonlight.
1t was white with pain, her eyes
wide and afraid, her lips set against
the hurt of Shane Murdock's brutal
grip.
Are you going to play ball?"
Shane demanded.
And Diane defied him despite her
pain and fear. Il won't do it! I
can't"
Then John reached them. He lay
a gripping hand on Shane's shoul-
der and jerked him about. Shane
released Diane. He grunted an oath.
He put his bent arm against Johns S
chest and showed him back a step.
John Meade was no man to be
pushed about. He recoiled, lodged
a punch Shame aimed at his chin,
and drove q hard right and left to
the mans face. Shane fell back a
step, then another. and backed into

Not yet. Don Luis We must let
Bruckmann make his rope a little
longer. He has powerful friends.
The evidence must be very strong
or We shall not trap him."
Don Luis went to his desk and
sank into the chair as if he we're
weary from his troubled thoughts.
"A revolution" he said, Il can un-
derStand that. But when the danger
comes from without. I am at loss.
This is burden for me, John. My

long as We are forewarned. Ease
your mind
Don Luis gripped his hand. smiled
up at him. Isl, I shall ease my
mind. Will you tell Senor Murdock
wash to talk with him, John?"
John Meade walked slowly from
the study. His thoughts were pn-
pleasant. He knew he was asking
much of the old gentleman of the
Hacienda Monteros. Bruckmann was
offering a large sum of money, and
it was hard to ask man to make
a sacrifice for an elusive thing like
patriotism-when the danger was
obscure. But John Meade felt he
was doing right, asking not too
much. He had been a secret agent
for the State Department for eight
years, and his father had been a
consular officer before him, and he
knew from education and observa-
ton of the boring from within in
Latin America. And today the Dor.

State Department at Washington.
Bruckmann organized a secret So

When the authorities cracked down,
he escaped to Europe"
But perhaps he is nothing more

owner. He has settled here He has
hired poems, and he is clearing his
hills to raise coffee. But he wants
San Rafael Valley"
ITO raise cotton Don Luis said
But a man intending to raise
cotton, Don Luis, does not need to
import engineers from Europe to
survey. He has already surveyed
your valley, my friend"
But that proves nothing"
1T proves something to me. You
have heard of the Bolivar Flying
Club. Don LuiS?"
Isl My friend. Ramon de Es-
tero, is leading member. Some Of
the best families belong!"
And Bruckmann belongs. He
organized and financed the club.
He is teaching nearly 200 Of your
coutrymen to fly gliders. The Amer
lean consul in San Luis pointed out
to the authorities that the flying
club was a dangerous organization
The authorities did not suppress
the club, but merely took over its
flying field for military purposes.
That left the club in the air -. And
that brings us back to Bruckmann
He has promised the club a nsS
field, here in this district. He owns
no land suitable for the purpose.
therefore he wishes to buy San
Rafael Valley"
Near Panama Canal.
John Meade said, "it seems fan
tastic. of course, Don Luis. But at
the proper time private flying
field could be turned to military
use. Your valley is stragetic point.
A map will show you that it could
dominate the Panama Canal"
But you make this gigantic
thing. John"
Yes. And I may be wrong.
Buchanan may be no foreign agent.
He may not be interested in po-
litical move. But again he may be-"
But the members of this flying
club" Don Luis said. LAS I say,
many are from our best families.
There is Ramon de Estero :"

II cannot believe it. John"
John shrugged. Il understand. 1t
must be hard to believe. But
wish you would not aid Bruckmann.
II shall not deal with him at pres
ent. I have no desire to sell the
valley. and I do not like the man.
There has been another man who
wished to buy or lease the valley
Senor Thane of San Luis"
Who is Senor Thane?"
"Senor Junius Thane the lawyer.
His firm handles my legal business.
I have known him many years. He
is an American, 1 think, but has

followed him up and gripped the
lapels of his dinner jacket, pinning
him against the wall. Shane's right
hand darted under his coat, and
John knew then he had gun there
IN a shoulder holster. He grabbed
Shane's wrist with his left hand,
drew back his right fist.
You try to draw that gun. and
Ill knock you out!'
Shane Yields.
Shane froze the move. He hung
there over the wall. his face red
with rage and his eyes bright with
hatred. "All right, All right! he
muttered, breathless. You win
this time, Meade"
John released him. You're smart.
But you'd better be more smart.
You cross me again, Murdock. or
let me catch you manhandhng the
girl again, and III queer your little
game here at the Hacienda. Now
get into the house. Don Luis wants
to talk with you"
Diane witnessed the scene with a
dull horror She had been too
frightened to move when Shane had
tried to get out his gun. She had
been afraid for John Meade. Her
own aching arm had been forgotten.
She had thought only OF Johns
danger of the danger to the
man she loved. She did love him.
despite what he thought of her and
in spite of his belonging to someone
else. There was no use trying to
believe she could say, I'm not in
love with him" And make it be so.
John was surprisingly at ease. He
was smiling. My good deed for the
day." he said. Did he hurt you?"
"A little" she replied. And then
she knew she had to take it as
calmly as he. She couldn't let him
know how afraid she had been-for
him. She said, "But thanks. {.
