denly, because you don't go in for the social nicetieS after six years on place like Abas, he became con- scious that he had neither shaved nor changed his clothes.
 T suppose you received Win- ters' cable?" Halsey was saying. T presume your accounts are in shape for the customary audit?" The new mans critical eye scanned the rocky, barren con- tour of the island. Already he was fretting in the closeness of the brassy, stifling heat; fiaring his nostrils at the smell.
 I'm all set," Talcott said. "We'll go up to the house for a drink. You'll be able to get in a swim before lunch if you like"
 Halsey hesitated, a half smile on his lips, and the sweating little auditor cut in. Thanks for the invitation, Talcott," Struthers said in thin voice. But if you don't mind, Halsey and I will get de rectly to work. If you'll just show us to the office"
 Bill Talcott nodded in mild sur- prise. Such eagerness to buckle down didn't seem just right, not after a 1600-mile steamship ride topped of with a night and 8 morning on the jolting mailboat. Still, auditors were creatures of habit more than whim and struthers seemed set on living up habit more than whim and pointed to cluster of galvanized buildings on the ridge and, taking June Paterson and the wobbly Mcdowell in hand, he set of along the path to his bungalow.
 Tall, frosted glasses appeared, luggage melted from sight, and Tal- colt relaxed with his guests on the terrace. From the comfortable chairs they watched the rustling fronds of royal palms against the trade-wind sky, eyed the antics of tiny lizard perched on the swaying bough of fiamboyant tree.
 June Paterson fidgeted and her eyes glinted hostilely. She sniffed. Prom what Lowell told me ex- pected to find you living in Q cave. So you're leaving all this to go In the arny?"
 T have to take up my commiS- sion," he said, and decided that she was horribly spoiled. He didn't think it necessary to tell her that "all this" included opera ton of c fertilizer plant. Her up- tilted nose must have told her

peace. After six years of same ness a new face, even a close- mouthed one, was welcome. June Paterson supplied the lack with an endless round of questions about the extraction of nitrates, and they were on fresh round of drinks when Halsey came up the path.
 The new mans jaw was grim and his eyes were both puzzled and appraising. "Struthers wants to see you," Halsey said abruptly.
 "So soon?" Talbott flushed. Aren't you fellows in bit of a ruSh?"
 T think you'd better go," Hal- sey said. Again his eyes held swift appraisal, mirroring perhaps incredulous disappointment.
 Baffled, Talcott got to his feet. Turning to June Paterson he said,

It was only because the girl was 90 positive in ordering the transfer of her luggage that Bill Talcott de- cided she must be relative of 5alsey's who had come along to see him settled in his new home.
 I'm your successor" the rAngy man admitted after he had gotten lhe dock under his feet. Not sur prised you didn't meet us in Saint Thomas. Had no idea it was such a long trip. This is Struthers, the auditor, and Mir. Mcdowell"
 The auditors too-heayy cloth ing gave him the appearance of having been fried in deep fat; he shook hands gravely and opened the briefcase to fuss with creden- tials. The mustached Mcdowell responded with a grunt, mopped beads of sweat from his heavy gray face, and didn't seem to see Talcott's proffered hand.
 The girl in the plun-colored slacks was fresh as zephyr, as coolly unconcerned as a scudding cloud. "T'm June Paterson" she announced, wrinkling her pert nose. Lowell Byrd's cousin. He cabled that you were expecting to return to the Continent. I've been spending . month with friends in Charlotte Amalie and Lowell's afraid I'll go native. You're to look after me-"
 You could have shouted at Bill Talcott that a shark was swim ming within 50 feet of him and he wouldn't have turned a hair. You could have told him that one of the blacks from the nitrate pits had gone crazy with rum and heat and was crouched behind him with a naked machete, and he would have accepted the warning with . grin. But for an attractive young woman to calmly announce that she was delivering herself in his charge
 ''Wh-what?" Bill Talcott gasped.
 Aren't you thrilled?" she mur- mured, lowering her lashes in ex- aggerated coquette. And then she swep& away to organize the con- fused scampering of houseboys for luggage.
 Bin Talcott gaped, wracldng his brain to recall Lowell Byrd'S cou- sin. Could this be the kid he'd danced with after the ,water polo meets at Cornell? Dimly he remem- bered . lot of arms and legs all wrapped in yards of green silk. It had been 8 dozen years since he ha dshared a room with Lowell Byrd in engineering school. Sud-

Gasoline Dealers Face Tax Respite

Although busineSs may be slow for Connecticut gasoline dealers, they may take some comfort in the fact that for four months this year their license to sell gasoline will be free, 6 Motor Vehicle Department bulletin points aut.
 The 194l license period for gaso- line stations which began on June would ordinarily end on June 1, 1oz2, but during the ,-t session Of the legislature the G.. cn rate for, such licenses was cila. :. fro.n June to October 1.
 According to the new law, any license in force July 1, 194l or thereafter prior to October 1, 1942 will expire on October 1, 1042, and any license issued after October i, 1942 will expire on the first day of the following October.

that. He didn't tell her, either, that the population of Abas con- sisted of tough blacks; that she was the first white woman who had set foot there in more than a year.
 The recovering Mcdowell filled his mouth with ice and grunted, "Say, it's kinda nice here. This one O the Virgin Islands?"
 Talcott smiled. "No. You're now in the Netherlands, or whats left of them. It's quite job to keep track of the minor pawns in the strategy of international chess"
 "FIollandl Goshl"
 Talcott would have liked to ask him his connection with Halsey and Struthers; there hadn't been any MacDowells mentioned in the Man Winters. But he kept his

T trust you will excuse me. The boy will get you anything you need"
 The ash-blond girl regarded him with a quizzical smile. Trouble in paradise" she laughed. Do we dress for dinner?"
 "If you wish," he said coldly.
 Whatever concern he held at the strangeness of Halsey's man. ner was stifiled when he entered the office. In it's hot interior, Struthers had surrounded himself with books. The auditors coat was of and his wet shirt clung to his skinny ribs. His eyes were enormous behind thick lensed glasses, and he sniffed and said, "Talcott, you appear to be short in your accounts by $l58.0O0. I suppose you've got some explana- tion?"

Sprague came back to win, Ii to '. after trailing 2 to 3 in the seventh inning.
