vR,ry m. AND R EAsrp BY CENTRAL PRESS ASSOCIATION

Are you tourists?' she asked in
an Indifferent manner.
mo. We represent the Lincoln
headache tablet company. We
spend great deal of time in the
smaller towns. Friendship is most
important.
Mallory was more added each
moment. They represented an
American firm; how could they be
criminals? She gave circular nod
Of her head. You seem well repre-
sented here" Plentiful aspirin
signs cleaned along with the usual
beer signs.
But it's been battle. We had
to make friends with the Indians
and it was quite battle. We even
went on an alligator hunt
Is that good sport" The girls
voice was mechanical.
Before answering John S m h
gave bright peso to young In
dian boy. To timer child he gave
several jingiing coins, of smaller
denomination. Mallory now real
lied she could not remember how
many times he had rewarded the
brown palms of children. That such
largesse was necessary to be
successful aspirin saleman did not
make sense.
But John Smith was now an
swering her question. Sport? It
is not for sport. 1t is for food. The
Indians dive into the sluggish riv-
ers and Wrestle with the alligators,
using knives for their attack. Often
the men lose an arm or leg. Per-
haps they are killed"
For the first time Mallory had
an excuse to shudder. She took full
advantage of it and had difficult
time stopping. How horrible she
cried.
Not everything" said William,
is so tragic. North OF mere. quite
some distance, is band Of Indians
called the Huastecas. They have a
laughable law. During the fl r t
year couple is married the moth
er-in-law is denied the privilege Of
even speaking to her son-ia-law. !"
For the first time real amuse-
ment made Mallory dare to laugh
aloud. Up to now she had been
afraid of an outbreak of wi d
laughter that would shatter the air.
But even to her own extremely
critical ears it sounded genuine.
Have we amused you, Miss Ba-
ker?'
On, yes" She turned from John
Smith to his brother. Yes, in
deed" His question made her hap
Ply. 1t sounded as if they might be
going to- leave her.
I'm glad" said John Smith. He
extended his right hand. Because
now we must tell you goodby, I'M
til we meet in the city. We have
many things to do here, many
people to see. Now, word of ad-
vice. Soon you will be in the noun
tains. You won't be able to see q
thing in the fog. Be careful. Some
thing could happen to you, you
know"

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

The inquiry put to Mallory by
the white-scarfed man made lcl-
cles of her blood. Icicles on day
that felt like summer. II wish the
Wales hotel bellboy would shove a
tu1nbler of tequila into my hand
right now" she thought with fran.
tic usefulness. But she hadn't that
dynamic strength to draw upon.
She had nothing except her stage
training, the composure that res
cued her quiveriag body whenever
necessary.
Slowly she forced her head
around and gave the white-scarfed
stranger a friendly, though slightly
aloof glance. Yes, indeed, it is a
colorful sight" No other words
came to her. Oddly her voice had
natural sound; it was courteous,
the casual response to tourist S
friendly remark.
She wanted to say, Il supposed
you were in Mexico City by now.
But she shrouded that thought with
tne slightly inquisitive smile that
she used when she wanted others
to do all the talking.
As if reading her mind. the man
said, We stayed here last night. l
always like to remain in Tamazun-
chale if possible for market day.
NV brother" He interrupted him.
self To present the man with him.
''This is my brother, William
Smith. l am John Smith" He
smiled, little clicking lift of bone
protrudng jaws. Bill wanted to
drive on to the city last night, but
I argued him into staying here"
He stopped talking long enough
to- lift his hand and exchange a few
foreign words of greeting with
some Indian men who strolled past,
then turned to stare at the girl and
ner companions.
I've been up since 5 o'clock, "
resumed John Smith, watching
the market plaza. I like to watch
them set up shop First the coun-
ter, usually not much larger than
the box of a shoeshine boy, per-
haps nothing more than a straw
mat to hold the Wares-those, a
few bananas, some eggs, two or
three chickens, some crudely WOW
en- materials-but why tell you?
Let us walk and see. Just us three.
Shall We
Mallory had been leaning against
battered adobe wall, powerless
to move in this new nightmare.
But now she stepped down into
the dusty street and was astounded
to find her numb legs capable OF
carrying ner petrified body. How
ever, her legs tilgled painfully as
if they were asleep.
Quickly the two brothers fell into
step with her, sandWiching her be-
tween them. AS il | were a hos
tage, she considered, with new,
sharper desperation. Nevertheless
she walked on. Resistance would
do her no good. Not in this town,
anyway. She couldn't run Shrek
ing through the dust-clouded mar
ket street that she was surrounded
by murderers. She couldn't even
speak the language to tell the peo-
pie.

Local Quota Is $24,OOO

With a quota of $24,000 for Kodiak, the Sth War Loan drive begins next Monday and contin- ues through December 16.
 With $l5,000 of the total as- signed to Series B bonds, the enn-- phasis is again being placed on individual purchases to enable Alaska and the nation to attain the goal.
 This year the Treasury De- partment in It's bond drive is faced with an increasing optimism and resulting belief that bond, purchases are not so necessary as in the earlier days of the war.
 Yetwith all factors considered, officials point out. the war may well continue TOT as long 8 per iod as it has so far and may well require greater expenditures for the same period.
 War Bond purchasers are ask ed to ponder this: More B-29 Super Fortresses that cost $500, GOO each are needed. More P-47 Thunderbolts that cost $50,000 each. More amphibious tanks-more aircraft carriers more gasoline and oil than it took for the invasion of Europe. For one small graphic example of war cost, to lay 8 smoke screen on one beachhead costs $80,O0D.
 Right now the war is costing over 2 billion dollars a month. That's why you should buy at least one EXTRA $l00 War Bond during the 9th War Loan.

Recommend New Airline For Kodiak

Anchorage--A recommendation that the Woodley Airways be granted authority to operate from Fairbanks to Kodiak has been made to the Civil Aeron- autics Board by Raymond Slough and Robert Barton, ex- aminers. If the recommendation is adopted by the CAB it will result in an extension of ser vice by Woodley. The new or der would place Woodley and Alaska Airlines in competition between Anchorage and Fair banks, but Woodley could make only as many trips between the two as made to Kodiak.

Award Goes ToLocaI Boy

Captain Walter Kraft, with the 47th Infantry, is now "some- where in Germany according to his last two letters to his father, Ben Kraft, of this city, and was recently the recipient of the Purple Heart and two Oak Leaf Clusters. Captain Kraft has been in action in France since the start of the h. vasion, and reports here indicate he was twice wounded in action in that country. No details are available yet but his injuries were said to come from shell fragments during fighting in France and papers accompany ing the awards were being for Warded here.
 Captain Kraft entered the service in January, 1942 and went overseas first in 1943. His first foreign duty was in North Africa, from where he went to

At one place in France during the American advance he tells of eating in a French home and of the host telling him that the day before at the same table they fled the Germans.
 In another letter he says: "I couldn't begin to describe what is going on-the going has been rough. One sees very unpleasant tights each day. Some have been very good friends of mine. Some one is guiding over me I am quite certain of that. There are no heathens over here, not any more.
 After this is over with I wouldn't want to hear fire cracker go off"
