 sT think so," he answered con- Mdently. May take a little time, of course. Shall I tell you my adventures to date?"
 She assented eagerly, and Allan plunged into @ narrative that seemed to satisfy her, though 1t covered no more than a tenth of the truth. There was much about Himself which he could not in duty reveal to her or anybody else. But he told her about Sun Su, and that cheered her im- snensely. Sun Su, she felt, would surely get word back to the States. He mentioned Asia casually
 'aThat womanl" said Miss Sar- gent, and sniffed.
 "You don't like Asia?"
 ''I should say notI I'll admit she's a marvellous creature to look nt, but Asia is--is-well, she's too mean"

 Dinner" said Miss Sargent without enthusiasm. "They send over three baskets of food every day. Do you like fish and rice? If you don't, you can always have rice and fishl"
 "That the best they do for us? I'll have to complain to the man. agementl I'll bet they"
 Then he was silent in sheer amazement. Dinner was there in a big wicker basket, but beside 1t on the dock there landed two large suitcases and a couple of cameras. The contents of his room at the Inn of One Thousand Delights! He stared at the stuff, speeches.. One of the two Japanese who came with the launch stepped up and handed him @ note; then the pair marched off to the bungalow with basket and baggage.
 Allan tore open the billet doux and spread 1t. Miss Sargent quite shamelessly sidled up and read 1t over his shoulder, her nostrils twitching slightly at the odor of perfume. Written in a bold, dash ing hand, the note, in English, was short enough to read at a glance.
 My dear MT. Steelel I thought you might like your belongings, so here they are. I must go to Mexico tonight. Will be away several days, but am looking for ward to seeing you on my return. Asia"
 I don't get it." muttered Allan, staring at the missive in stupefac- ton. How did she wangle my stuff out of Sun Su?"
 T imagine she's quite wan gler. Nice of her, anyhow, to take so much trouble for for com- parative stranger" Considering 1t was Lower California at the end of July, the touch of frost in the air was rather odd. Shall we go in to dinner?"
 They strolled to the house in silence. By the time he got there Allan felt he had interpreted the incident accurately. Asia was getting into his good graces, hope full of gleaning any military se- cretS which he might have picked up from his mythical brother in the War Department. That was easy, but still didn't explain how she'd hooked the bags from Sun Su.
