GLORY HUNTER
Continued from pogs six

pottery jars of water and a carved
wooden bowl of stewed meat. Young
girls stood for a moment in silent
alteration of the masked god, then
renewed the flowers which hung in the
cabin and placed Others on his break
fast table - huge orchids and trumpet
shaped blooms of flaming crimson.
One family was designated by the
chief to share the gods breakfast. 1t
was evident that it was an honor to be
so chosen; it was equally clear that the
people regarded their god with
friendly rather than a fearful venera-
ton. They raised the bowls toward the
silent figure and smiled as though they
heard words inaudible to alien ears.
Every morsel of food was consumed,
and throughout the meal the drum
maintained its muted accompaniment,
to the soft chanting of the men and
women who were grouped about the
shrine. The meal ended, the Indians
returned to the village and their daily
tasks. Only the chief remained in the
now -sunlit clearing -.
Malone swung from his hammock.
''All bets are off," he declared.
Lets get going"

ring and the number-p OF the ship

"You didn't know Dick Vernon. He

for autographs. BUT he never got it -
not until he died. Now he's god, and
the women hold their babies up to see
him and the girls bring him flowers
and he's the biggest thing there is in
these parts. If we took him away he'd
be another stone in some cemetery,
and even the fellows who went to the
funeral would be thinking of just
another fool who cracked up trying
the next-to-impossible. His spirit is
happy here, I'll bet. He's found glory
and we'll leave him where he found it,"
MALONE let the first dispatches from
Trinidad tell only the story of the
G-BAT fight. Then. after he and his
companions had slept for ten hours.
he told of the discovery of the wrecked
Gyrfalcon. The newspapers of the
world carried for the last time, Dick
Vernon's name and the story that he
had been killed in crash and his body
buried by the Indians. Malone and his
fellows explained that they had not
attempted to exhume a body which
had lain underground for three years in
the jungle, but they brought with
them Vernon's ring. the plate from the
Gyrfalcon's instrument board, and
memorandum book which the Indians
had preserved and which carried en-
tries in Vernon's hand. Those proofs,
Tacks said, he would deliver to his
fellow pilots widow after the BT-4 had
returned to Lima by the less adven-
turous route around the north end of
the continent and down the west coast.

Vernon was dead. as dead as the hope
to which she had clung SO desperately
for three years, but how would she
receive the man who had actually
stood beside the wrecked Gyrfalcon?
What memories would be evoked by
the sight of the ring which had been
on Vernon's finger and now rested in
Tacks Malone's pocket? There was the
book. too. in which Vernon had scrib-
bled last calculation of his course.
Tacks lowered his hand from the
knocker. Suppose she goes weepy on
me?" he muttered in sudden access of
terror. 'I'd rather - gosh. I'll 60 back
to the hotel and write her a letter and
mail her those things. That'd be best"
He retreated precipitately to the
street. No taxi was in sight; the
Avenida Carlos Villareal was deserted
from curb to curb as far as he could
see. Malone gulped. took fresh grip
on his courage, and reentered the
arched passageway which led from the
street to the patio around which the
dwelling was built. He could hear.
from the patio, the soft murmur of
voices and he walked toward the
sound.
In THE subdued light which streamed
from the surrounding rooms he saw
the Dofia Josefina. The somber black
was laid aside, she wore a net evening
gown which seemed to the Americans
eyes to be made of gold and crimson
and harne bare arms and back and
a hibiscus flower glowing redly in
thick coil of dark hair. Nor was she
alone. With her was Captain Alfredo

with the heavy chiffon veil and
shuddering with distaste. Gail
removed the cheap blond wig.
Poor Aunt Belle whose frus-
trated desires had driven her into
a life as different as possible from
that she ordinarily experienced.
Hazel had said she had been in the
habit Of frequenting the gambling
resort for over five years.
This meant that it was Aunt
Belle who had stolen the keys
from her father and robbed the
store where he was a trusted em-
ployee.
Becoming bold when her first
petty thefts were not traced she
had dared to take the emerald
ring.
Aunt Belle Of all peoplei With
her continual chatter about back
ground and family had dropped
the stolen jewel into her hated
brother-in-iaw's pocket; had seen
him convicted and sent to Jail. She
had even rallied at her sister dur
ing the ensuing five years for hav-
ing married beneath her.
She must have been crazy
all that time" Gail thought.
"or on the verge of it. Poor
mother! No wonder she wanted
Aunt Belle to 60 to California
without her"
When they reached the hospital
they left the wig in the car and
carried her inside. She was not
fighting any more. No longer
recognizing them she was mutter-
ing unintelligibly.
