the girl co1dly. "A14d it's good. I'm
going to-make some of these for
Mr.. Tod when We get bacA to
New York"
They had been walking about,
admiring what they could see of
the view, while they had t h e r
lunch. Now they climbed back into
the car and headed on.
"Just more of the same" Prism
commented, as they pursued the
circuitous road.
For a while she was right. Mile
after mile of the same mountain
GUS country, dripping with fog. But
presently the early afternoon heat
began lifting that fog, clearing the
majesty of the mountains. Too, the
roadside growth was changing.
Tropical dampi1ess was igving way
to desert dryness, similar to that
below Laredo. The soil. slightly vol
canic now, was covered with globe
cacti and organ pipe. 1t grew
warmer and warmer.
Prism was reading from folder,
given Mallory at one of the inspec-
ton points. 1T says there's a big
tree sext tow.i. More than 40 feet

She was peering left as t h y

pointed past Mallory's nose at the

its publicity. A castle of tree
that made person feel happy and
humble, both at once.
Except for gasoline and oil-and
to have the top put down on the
car-they did not stop again on the
arduous trip into the city. After
the sun sank, the girl regretted
having had the top lowered, for the
chill that the altitude brings on at
night began to penetrate her very
bones.
She regretted another thing. The
route into the city, so simple on
paper, became an intricate thing Of
twisted streets, with intersecting
streets that permitted only one
way driving. Too, the corners ex-
hibited everything except sign
post. Even in the daylight the girl
was not sure she could have found
her way; in the dark she was dis
mally lost.
In some manner she had strayed
into one of the cheaper sections
and now found the car surrounded
by dirty lights, strange noises and
smell, people who got in the way
of the automobile, pointed at her
hair and yelled uaintelligible re-
marks to other people. Children
leaped onto the back of the car and
rode along, shouting and giggling.

Mallory did not reply. She didn't

SYNOPSIS

MALLORY BAKER, sef-center
ed, but young beautiful and talent
ed singer, has achieved success
with the aid Of
TOD PATRICK, her manager
He has been her agent since she
was an entertainer striving te
reach the top. En- route to Mexico
by plane, Mallory meets an attrac'
tive young man,
RICHARD BLYTHE.
CHAPTER II
YESTERDAY: Prism joins her
mistress, Mallory, and as they are
driving along a fog-shrouded road
offhaadedly remarks, Swell spot
for murder"
For heavens sake, Prism, do
you have to say that?" Mallory
Bakers fingers were nervous on
the steering wheel.
The colo. ed Woman's voice was
unperturbed. "All I said was,
swell spot for murder. didn't
mean 1othin'. People are always
sayin' things like that" she
drawled in self-defense. You
know, in deserted buildin's n d
dark alleys and in all them sorta
places. And this old fog makes as
dark place as anything. We can't
see nothin'. I'll bet you don't even
know what's over hathaway and
hathaway" Her hand Topped
Imply to right and to left like
fat, black fish, where fog had drap-
ed over the roadsides.
I'm glad l don''t!"
The nervousness in her voice
drew a concerned glance from her
maid. What's the matter W t n
you, Miss Mallory? Ague'
Prism, I'm in trouble"
Course responded the colored
woman with a manner that ap-
proached boredom. That's 'oblivi-
GUS to see. All I'm waitin' for is
to see if it's the same as all your
million other troubles or is it diff
ferent from the same old stuff this
time. Different, l hope" she grum-
bled.
It's different. Plenty different.
You see, Prism ! don't like that
murder sort Of talk, because saw
a murder on my way down from
Laredo to Monterrey"
Mallory did not know just what
she expected from her erv n t.
Perhaps a gasp, perhaps a quick
prayer, perhaps a stunned silence.
Assuredly she did not expect that
well-known high cackle Of laugh
ter, as if she had told Prism some
shout-producing joke.
boy, this time it's different, all
righty!' The fat maid kept trem-
bling with laughter. "Oh, M s S
Mallory, that's really good one.
Say, you did need rest. You know
when something like that happens
to me always say, Look out now.
Prism Look out now! You're get
ting crackety'. So l blink my eyes
real fast few times and then it's
gone.' She chuckled, You'd bet
ter take it right easy for a while,
Miss Mallory
Mallory dared not take her eyes
from what little she could see of
the highway long enough to give
her maid scathing look. Prism,
you're the one who is crackety, as
you express it, right now. Your
philosophy about eye-bli1king is
fine except it won't work when
you've really seen something. And.
believe me, 1 really saw some
thing" Before Prism could antago-
nize her further she began to tell
the entire story.
1t took her quite while, because
she had to devote herself to the
dangerous driving. Despite that,
Prism never once interrupted. She
waited until the girl had finished.
Looks like they're really putin
the bee on you, Miss Mallory"
