It was iego Gongaro. Miguel's body was like a steel wire quivering under the impact of a sudden blow. His breath was coming so sharply that Anne thought the men outside must hear it. What had happened she didn't know. Then suddenly it came to her. He hadn't known his uncle was there. He hadn't even known he might be there. "Let's get out of here, quick," , Miguel said quietly. They slipped through the tunnel and out into the street. He took her arm. As they started down the street, away from the direction she'd come in, Anne glanced back. There was no one in sight. They turned the corner. She got into the car, tired, desperately tired, all of a sudden. "Miguel," she said. "Wait a while, Anne." She sank back against the .seat, It was probably just hunger, she thought, but it was funny how this of emotions took it out of ydir. ' She felt like an old sponge. He maneuvered the car through the dark streets. They came out suddenly in front of the great Indian laurel tree in the Post Office Plaza Anne sat up abruptly. She hadn't an idea how they'd got "there so quickly. "Where were we, Miguel?" she asked. He looked at her sharply. "If you don t know where you were it's better for you not to know," he said evenly, after a moment "I wish you could forget the whole thing." ' for an inwere both silent They stant. Then he said, "You've got to promise me very seriously you'll never say a word about it to any ' one." "What were you doing there? And in Mr. Taussig's room the other night?" "Then you did know," Miguel said without turning his head. His eyes were fixed on the ocean in front of them. "I'm sorry. I hope I didn't or frighten you too hurt you much. I think you'd better tell me all about it. I couldn't ask you be : Anne hesitated. " If a member of my family seems to be involved," he said quietly, "don't hide it. I wouldn't" 'It's just your uncle," Anne said quickly, as if his uncle didn't matter. "You don't think your fa ther . . ." His voice was a little unsteady. I hope not. My father means very much to me. Go on." There were only a few cars in front of the Escambron when Miguel pulled in to the curb. As they got to the door a car coming along the road stopped so suddenly that it sounded as if the brakes had been torn from their linings with an anguished shriek. 'The way you people here punish cars, Anne said without turning. Miguel looked back. The man at the wheel was not a Puerto Rican. He was Captain Peter Wilcox of the United States Army. He was sitting there starng at them. Miguel hesitated for an instant, turned and followed Anne inside. After all, it was a Saxon who said whatever it was about love and war. Furthermore he had the sharp impresson that Captain Wilcox was drunk. Mr. Richard Taussig had never taken the doctrine of the Master Race particularly seriously, nor did he regard himself, per se, as an example of it He was a realist and a business man, and his business was Empire, or rather the undermining of existing empires leading to their "L I- - V 4 J "yy v. fr '. - A, , , C "'' i ; v vfc i.

"I don't know about you." j "Listen, Anne," he said earnestly "You've got to tell me everything you know. It's more important than you think. Have you told Wilcox?' Anne shook her head. "He thinks you're a spy, or something. I did too. But you're not, are you? didn t want to believe it. leu me you're not." 1 11 teu you sometmng no one here knows," he said slowly.

Perhaps he should have taken a chance and let Gongaro bring him to their meeting that night Gongaro was positive his nephew was in complete agreement with them. His devotion to his father would make him ready to put Don Alvaro's passive ideas into action if he could be shown the way. But Mr. Taussig wasn't so sure. It was the emotional equation coming in again. He'd seen him with Anne Heywood on the ship and seen them together in San Juan. He'd seen the look in Miguel's face. He'd seen it in other men's faces and knew what it meant Mr. Taussig bought a newspaper and made his way across the lobby to the desk to get his key. It was extraordinary, he was thinking, how Anne Heywood got in the way. Not only tangibly with Miguel and little Mrs. Porter, but intangibly too. The fact that she was at all serious about him was In effect a potential surveillance that he couldn't afford to risk. He stopped in front cf the counter.

He had spent too many years in too many ends and corners and crossroads of the world to think that any one nation was in itself superior to all others and especially ordained by God for world domina tion. He was, however, aware that the desire for world domination, ex clusively and without regard for ex isting concepts of law and ethic. and the acceptance of any and ev ery means to attain it were the most powerful weapons the human mind could forge. A realist by na ture, he had become a cynic by necessity, and an eminently success ful opportunist by scientific applica tion of whatever means came to hand. He did not object to men or governments who respected the virtues of honesty, tolerance, and sin cerity. On the contrary, he preferred dealing with them, because they were always the slowest to recognize the Indian sign of the Double Cross, and by the time they did recognize it it was too late. On the other hand, and Mr. Taussig was thinking of it as he crossed the Granada lobby toward the news stand, they were unknown and fre quently unpredictable aspects, imponderables, he called them, that had to be recognized and dealt with. Sometimes it took the form of the honesty and unselfishness of a par ticular individual. More often, In his experience, it was what he'd tried to warn Diego Gongaro about that morning. He had in fact won dered many times whether the emotional equation, coming in with its attendant Jealousy, wasn't actually more trouble than it was help.
