PREPARES FOR DEPARTURE
CHAPTER XVIII

It was three days later that Ste" nhen told Diana he must go away. Ae had been appointed by the uni- ted states government aS the most capable man to investigate the op- Nration of Airways to South Amer lcA for the Commerce Department. Tn view of the disturbance in Europe the maintenance of trade pRets and schedules with the South American countries was vital, and stephen Curt was deemed the man to cement these friendships,
 His plan, he told Diana in that impefsenal tone he had adopted toward her, was to fly by way of the Pan American clipper Serv' Ice Co Cristobol, there changing Co a largo Sikorsky amphibian to complete the journey nlong the coasts of Ecuador and Colombia. He explained 1t all in detail using that detached icy voice that had been apparent in all his relations with her since the night she had gone to Richard Thorpes lodge.
 But won't there be danger9" she asked, her eyes wide with fear.
 stephen laughed shortly, "No more than on any air trip, It'll be great" he went on, forgetting his animoSity for q moment in the contemplation of his adventure, i've always meant to travel that route. It spells romance, excite mefk md adventure to me. The TFaiA Of the ConquistadoreSl" He was aS eager and excited as c boy.

 He was going to give her ti0,. 900 for this, He wanted her to know she had no right to refuse, In fact, ct the moment he sat down at his desk and wrote the check, put it in her hand. ShO stood staring at 1t as If 1t were not real.

Your life is your own Of. far. But could you, as 6 special favor, hang on and look after things here until I return9"
 Diana turned to the window and looked out and stephen came to stand close behind her. His voice was low and q bit husky. His nearness all but destroyed the calm she was trying SO hard to maintain,
 "It this hadn't came up, things would have gone on smoothly Tho divorce would have gone for- ward without Q hitch, l hate tC ask 1t of you--"
 She turned to face him. "r on, glad to stay, stephen, as long aS you need me. To help you in any way I can. I'm happy and com fort0ble here"

BY KfSGSBURY- SMITH

It was this fear on the part OF
both the Greenland authorities
and the American government
which led to the decision to have
the United States take over the
defense of that territory.
Ii is assumed that the Germans
who landed in Greenland speak
Danish fluently and probably have
succeeded in mixing with some of
the natives in the outlying dis
triCtS.
American officials are hopeful
the mere announcement of this
governments decision to defend
Greenland will be sufficient 10 put
a stop to any further landings of
German groups in that territory.
However, American armed forces
will soon be stationed there to
make doubly sure that no attempt
is made to seize the island.
1t is possible that such forces
already are en- route. but whether
they include troops or naval par
ties could not be ascertained.
