The girl looked at him and her
features turned cold. Perhaps
you'd better not go down for tea
after all. III talk TO you in your
room after Mr.. Cromwell has

Heels tapping briskly, she headed
for the rose and blue breakfast bar
and made certain that everything
was in readiness for the tea. Rose
was there. fixing sliced bread and
butter. Carefully she buttered the
loaf, then sliced the bread paper
thin, buttered the loaf again.

you, Rose"
The gray haired housekeeper
nodded. but said nothing. For mo-
ment Ylena stood waiting for her
friend either to say something or
at least turn her head. The rather
blighting worry that everyone
knew her plans, went over her like
fame. Acutely embarrassed, she
left the kitchen nook.
When she heard Tate's ring,
Ylena quickly ran to meet him at
the top Of the iron steps. Meet me
in the garden, dear" She gave him
a short kiss. I'm be right down."
She didn't want him to come TO the
apartment and perhaps run into the
glowering Tony. Too, she wanted
Carlyle and her future father to
have few minutes together. Sure
ly, when she loved him so much,
Carlyle would too.
Hurriedly she sped to her bed
room and locked her bags against
Roses curious eyes In case she
chose to pry. Az the same instant,
she thought, I'm behaving like a
thief. 1t was beginning to prey on
her mind, this subterfuge. She took
deep breath and walked over to
look at herself in the mirror. Un-
consciously, she picked up a pow
der puff and ran 1t aimlessly over
her already too-pale face. Then she
walked back into the room where
she had left Tony. He still was sit
ting there, his dark eyes on his
! toes.
The girl moved to the window
and looked at Carlyle, still busy
with her engineering experiment.
Tate lounged in a steamer chair,
dressed also, Ylena knew, for
their stealthy journey. Immaculate
as always, he made a handsome
figure, dark hair cleaning In the
warm winter sunlight.
Without having heard him move,
Ylena sensed Tony's immediate
presence, and turned. Over her
shoulder he was watching the two
in the garden.

CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN

CHAPTER FORTY SEVEN
YLENAS FIRST emotion, when
Scott Hamilton stalked away so
angrily, was one Of dismay. Then
she grew angry. First Terry Alkire,
then Scott. And for quite some time
both Rose and Tony had disap-
proved OF her attentions to Tate.
Barker" she asked the follow
ing morning, lam perfect fool ?"
That womans habitually chilly
eyes were even chillier as she
looked at her employer. What
shall say, Ylena? Shall l be truth
full or justify your behavior"
Knowing what the reply would
be, Ylena nevertheless said. BE
truthful"
Then l will be. Yes, you're a
perfect fool. And now I'll go on
with my work before / say too
much" Rudely she bent her crisp
gray head over the plans and sam
pies on her desk.
Gradually though, the opinions
OF Ylena's companions grew less
severe. Tate could be very charm
ing when he wished, even to older
women like Rose and Barker. Tony
knew his ideas were not important
to Miss Varanoff so long as he
guarded Carlyle. And while he re-
scented her dividing her time be-
tween her small daughter and
young Cromwell he made no criu-
cism.
After Francie had been dead a
few months, Tate asked Ylena to
marry him.
Let's slip away and be married.
People here don't need to know"
"Oh, Tate, we shouldn't" All the
same, her green eyes were on his
earnestly beseeching face. Again
she said, 1--WE shouldn't" and then
more strongly, I'VE mustn't" She
walked away from him, to one of
the big arched windows.
why not?" He moved back Of
where she stood looking out at the
wall Of burgundy and gold noun
tains, about La MADEIRA. A first
star shone in the sky. It was a
dusky and quiet, romantic moment.
"Of course we can. You can make
some sort Of housekeeping,
business. anything. I'll do the same.
I'll drive over and we'll meet, get
married and, for a honeymoon, go
to Santa Barbara"
"Oh, no! Not Santa Barbara,
Ylena cried, thinking of Terrence
Alkire. Her own remark impressed
her with the sneaking nature of
their plans, yet she did not want
to resist.
Tate suggested. Then we won't
make plans to go anywhere in par
ticular. Well just wear dowdy
clothes and go to little insignifi-
cant beach. towns on the Pacific
coast No 'one will need to know.
Then after Francie has been dead
"a year we'll get married all over
again. That way, no scandal, every
one is happy, and we're happy in
the meantime"
Eventually he beat down her re-
sistance, which had never been
strong, and their plans were made
to appear most casual. On Sunday
afternoon Tate was to come to tea,
presumably to bid Ylena farewell
before she took the night train for
her business trip to the coast.
II want to go along, Mamacita.
Carlyle lay on her mothers bed
and watched with wistful eyes as
she packed.
'T'u take you next time, dear. I'll
take you over for your birthday.

Of last nights activities, Hugh
prowled about, stepping lightly as
a cat, scanning every inch of the
ground, for possible clues.
Afterward, the two men sat on a
log on the beach and smoked. while
Tom explained, a little ashamed,
his own reactions.
"Of course I know Morton Blake
is a responsible, reputable BUSH
ness man. and it's about the crazi-
est thing In the world to think he
could possibly know anything
about what happened last night.
But he seems so terribly anxious to
get control Of the island, and 1
can't imagine why-unless the fact
that the island would be rather
good base to use in smuggling
aliens into the States" he con-
fessed.
Hugh Powell grinned family.
You'd be surprised how many sup
posedly responsible, reputable BUSH
ness men we've found mixed up in
businesses not half as profitable as
smuggling aliens" he admitted
frankly. THE fact that Markham
left notation in his will that the
island was to be used exclusively
as a honeymoon retreat for at least
five years. or until such time as the
United States is no longer in dam
ger Of an invasion by a foreign
country. sounds as though Mark
ham himself might have had some
thought that the island would
prove interesting to a foreign coun-
try"
Tom looked startled. "Oh-you
Know about that clause In Mr..
Markham's will?"
Hugh grinned and nodded. Il
know good bit about Mr.. Mark
ham-and Morton Blake" he
agreed graphically. IT admit the
whole set-up sounds pretty fam
tastic-but that's the dangerous
thing about set-ups like these; they
sound incredible and fantastic until
you begin to realize they're on the
level-and by that time it's almost
too late to do anything"
Then you think this island has
been used before as a base for
smuggling aliens into the United
States?" asked Tom curiously.
II feel so sure Of II that I'd like
to bet you" began Hugh, and
then cut himself short. But let
that pass for the moment. I'll have
to get in touch with my Office. I'll
be back over this afternoon with a
plan for action. In the meanwhile,
l think II would be an excellent
idea II the crowd Of you got some
rest. I think you can feel pretty
safe from now on. About tina SAT-
est place for a week or two is the

agaNQ, and as he and Tom walked
dow2 to the little pier and he
stepped into the waiting boat,
there was a curious expression on
the mans dark, squarely-cut face.

Terry nodded soberly. "Sure-if

not too gentle tug. Terry belonged
to the generation that must mask
it's sentiment behind a rough ex-
terror; but the look in her eyes was

Tom made a record trip to the
mainland. When he had brought
the doctor to the Hacienda, and
had introduced the short, stocky,
dark man beside him as from the
local police, he and the newcomer
vanished to the scene Of last

said Terry firmly, and Powell

Terry, and looked a little sick at
the memory.

Tom led the way along the

had happened. Hugh interrupted

Mexico City, July S-UP-ln the
tiny, earthquake-ravaged village of
Tuxpan, Jalisco state, In the west
ern part of Mexico, 80 American col
lege boys are busy at the hard work
of reconstruction today-but instead
Of drawing wages they are paying
for the privilege OF having the job.
This is the third year this sort
of thing has been going on in Mexi-
co. In 1889 and 1910 similar groups
Of American undergraduates spent
the summer in the vast newl" devel-
oped agricultural region of La La
guna, in the northern border state
OF Coahuila, and helped puzzled
Mexican peasants build two new
schoolhouses. The boys get nothing
for their work and pay their own
expenses.
Responsible for these projects is
the American Friends Society, an
organization of Quakers in the Unit
ed States.
The Tuxpan earthquake recon-
struction work will be carried on all
summer. This idea of volunteer
work in Mexico to put the good
neighbor policy into action" was
conceived three years ago by Clar-
ence' Senior a young Kansas college
instructor and a Quaker. Long in
terested in Mexican affairs, Senior
sold both the Friends Society and
Mexican government officials on the
idea. Every year the project is diff
ferent.
Village Hard Hit
Senior was casting about for the
proper one this spring when 1t vir-
tually toppled into his lap: the
worst earthquake Mexico has sui
fered in years struck in April, Shook
the capital but wrought the worst
damage in the states of Colima and
Jalisco. The village of Tuxpan was
chosen because it was one of the
hardest hit and its needs had been
least publicized
Skeptical at first OF such unheard
OF philanthropic plans. the Mexican
government is enthusiastically sup
porting the american Friends So
ciety's program.
Each spring the society selects its
list of undergraduate from a pile OF
applications. The project is never
widely advertised but word gets
around and in the various colleges
which the society itself backs in the
United States, special attention is
paid to it. The society pays the
overhead of the venture, contributes
to the cost of materials. arranges
the routine, but the students pay all
their own expenses. In return they
get summer in intimate contact
with a foreign country, practical ex-
perience in Spanish and a vacation
adventure at little cost. In some
schools. student societies raise
money to send one of their group on
the trip.

basic discovery was the emphasis

termastering its peace army, says
Colonel Osmun. All the public needs

them from him.
On the food front. Osmun settled
the question by cleaning off his
