They must have followed him out of the restaurant, though he'd thought they were both so absorbed in what was obviously a pretty tense quarrel quar-rel that they weren't aware he'd gone. He hailed a taxi. "Li Granada," he said. That would explain Wilcox's appearance ap-pearance at the Central. In that case, nothing had been said that he had regarded as evidence. It meant that she had talked, however, though what she could say he didn't know. And G 2 was hardly likely to listen to her suspicions in the face of his credentials. He looked at his watch. The question ques-tion was whether to go to Mrs. Porter's Por-ter's or let it ride for a wh;le. If Anne Heywood turned up, it would be a waste of time. On the other hand she might not come ... or he might manage it before she got there. All he needed was half an hour in his own room with the specifications.

After that he could look at churches and schools to his heart's content. "I'll go on," he said as he saw the crushed raspberry and cream outline of the Granada through the palms. "I'll give you the address." He took out his notebook. The magazine Sue Porter had been trying to force herself to read slipped off her lap into the white string rug.

She'd known it all afternoon. And she shouldn't have phoned. Half a dozen times since five o'clock she'd forced herself not to, but the last time she couldn't help it I'm sorry, Mrs. Porter. Mr. Taussig came in an hour ago and left right away. He didn't say when he'd be back." The telephone girl at the Granada had recognized her voice, and Sue could hear her laughing laugh-ing as she put down the phone. Her cheeks were burning. The girl thought she was running after Taus-ci Taus-ci hprause she'd phoned so many loft messages he'd not limes auu - - hnthPred to reply to. If Russell hP-d be furious.

It came out before she realized she was saying it "My dear child!" Mr. Taussig laughed and wiped the perspiration off his broad pallid pal-lid forehead. "I'm a business man, and when I come across anyone as promising as your husband I'm hardly likely to miss an opportunity to talk to him." Sue flushed. "But he's not here I should have told you," she said quickly. "He had to go to St Thomas." Thom-as." She'd planned it so differently. She'd been going to say, "You'll think I'm dreadful not letting you know my husband isn't here. He's frightfully sorry. You see, the Navy's Na-vy's having water trouble and needed need-ed somebody really good, so Russell Rus-sell had to fly over to St Thomas to give them a hand." Mr. Taussig's disappointment was obvious, but his recovery was more than gallant . . . perhaps because he had known all that before he came. "Then you and I can have a comfortable com-fortable chat," he said. He sat down on the sofa where he could keep his eye on the front steps. "In fact, I think it's probably better. bet-ter. Because if you don't mind my saying so the trouble with your husband, my dear girl, is that he hides his light under a bushel. He's too modest He needs somebody to push him a little. He's so off the beaten track down here that unless he lets people know what he can do, he'll find himself in a rut. Men not half as well equipped as he is will be picking the plums, merely because they're on the spot." "I know," Sue said eagerly. "That's what I've tried to tell him. But he thinks if he does a good job the company will know it and" "And keep him down here where they won't lose him and don't have to pay him what he's worth," Mr. Taussig interrupted calmly. "I know all about that." He took a cigarette out of his case and lighted it thoughtfully. "Of course I'm interested in him particularly," he said. "I was tremendously tre-mendously impressed by what was said the other evening. And very selfishly, I'd better add. You, see, I we have a proiect a very big one with a problem not unlike the one you have here. I don't want this to go farther." He looked appraisingly at her. "How discreet are you, Mrs. Porter?" Por-ter?" "I can be very," Sue answered quickly. She realized she'd been holding her breath, waiting, and that she had to be calm so he wouldn't see how much It meant. He tapped the ash off his cigarette. ciga-rette. "Well, this is it Mrs. Porter. 1 heard about the construction down here, though not about your husband. hus-band. He wasn't mentioned. Tve been looking for a man for the last fifteen months. I'm not sure, ol course, that you'd be Interested. The living conditions won't be easy. I ought to tell you that That's one of the reasons we want a young man. The salary would only be about twenty-five thousand a year, but the man who went would be known throughout the civilized world. Of course I don't know . . ." Sue closed her eyes. All the things they could do . . . for themselves and for the children! She held her breath again. "I'm not sure your problem here can be done, of course," Mr. Taussig Taus-sig went on equably. "If it can, your husband is -the man we want I suppose the thing to do is wait until the job's finished, and see ... if we can wait" "But the specifications are aU drawn up!" Sue cried. "Russell says they're absolutely perfect! Oh, why don't you just look at them? You could tell, couldn't you?" Mr. Taussig shook his head skeptically skep-tically and waited. She jumped up, ran into the dining room and came back. Two bright pink spots burned in her cheeks," her blue eyes were as full of hope as the dawn. "Just look at them a minute!" , She thrust the thick roll of linen prints into his hands. He unrolled them without haste, and studied the top one deliberately. He could hear her breath coming quickly and see the pulse pounding In her throat as she sat there beside him. After a moment he looked up at her with a smile. "Mrs. Porter, I really wouldn't be surprised If your husband Isn't exactly the man we've been hunting hunt-ing from one end of the world to the other," he said simply. "Oh, I'm so glad!" Sue whispered. "You don't know how I want him to get away from here!" "Of course Til have to go through all these, rather carefully," he said. "It's a complicated setup. I wonder won-der . - No 1 don' ,uPPse we could do that" -Do what?" "I was just thinking that if 1 could lay them out on the dining room table." Mr. Taussig said. "I could see them an at once.

His first professional profes-sional dancing job was in one of the top vaudeville acts, Pilcer and Douglas, in 1922. And one of the things that cinched the job was Raft's resemblance to Valentino, at that time the world's greatest screen attraction. In "Follow the Boys" Raft is co-starred .with Zorina, with whom he does the Argentine dance.
