',yANNER COMPANY n.pi FAF INSTALLMENT EIGHT THE STORY SO FAR: Karen Water-so-convinced by her lawyer, John Colt, that she has a claim to the Island estate of her grandfather, Garrett Waterson, has come to Honolulu to attempt getting the property, in an effort to find out something about the Wayne family, now in control of Alakoa, the Island, she ac-cepts a date to go sailing with Richard (Tonga Dick) Wayne. Against her wishes he takes her to Alakoa. Arriving there, they and James Wayne, Dick's uncle and manager of the property, very 111. During the night of their visit he Is found dead. Dick and Karen leave for Honolulu the next day. On the way back Dick tells Karen he loves her, but they quarrel over disposing of her claim to the island. Later Dick meets John Colt and tells him he has news for him. Now continue with the story. I imagine, Wayne," said John Colt smoothly, "that you are lying." "Well, did you pay out this mon-ey?" "No, sir; Mr. Wayne always han-dled that item himself." "Always? What do you mean by that?" Wong fell silent; but now Dick Wayne knew where to look for what he wanted. Hurriedly he checked back through the books for previous years. Every year for seventeen years that same vague item was to be found, sometimes small, some-times. . enormous, according to the way the year had gone. Over that period of seventeen years almost $200,000 stood against that single vague phrase "Old Debts." A curi-ous thing in a way; for, as far as Dick's perfunctory survey of the rec-ords could make out, there had nev-er been any old debts at all, other than those meticulously funded and otherwise disposed. For the space of a minute Tonga Dick stared hard at Charles Wong; and was able to convince himself that the Chinese knew no more than he did and perhaps considerably less. Dick dismissed Wong and planted himself at his uncle's desk. He or-dered coffee, and while Tsura was getting it for him he sat for a time thinking hard, his eyes covered by his hands. By the time his coffee ap-peared he had made up his mind. "Bring my brothers here," he told the Japanese girl. Tsura looked at him in a startled way. His brothers were his elders, and senior to him in the control of Alakoa; but he had commanded that they appear in the same curt tone that he had ordered coffee. "Yes, Mister Dick." She whisked out of the room. Perhaps the Japa-nese girl was a little1 afraid of the room itself, since the death of James Wayne; judging it to be an appropri-ate hangout for devils. Dick was finishing a second cup of coffee before his brothers came. "Good of you to show up," Ernest Wayne said sardonically. "I understand," said Willard Wayne, "that through your generous courtesy. Miss Waterson has been a house guest here in fact slept here the night Uncle Jim died." "True," Tonga Dick agreed. "Tsura, bring two more coffee cups." To do that will cost me a great deal, in some very obscure ways. It will, in fact, cost me more than my share of Alakoa is worth. That is why I offered to settle with you. For Miss Waterson's sake, for my own, I'm sorry that you refused. But you're finished, Colt through washed up done." "I get what you mean," John Colt smiled. "If you think a little further," Tonga Dick said, "you'll see even more clearly what I mean. Your case has one hole in it. Ask your-self what that hole is." Karen Waterson, watching John Colt's face, saw a curious thing hap-pen then. The faint, tired smile on Colt's face lingered there still, but after a moment Karen saw that it was only the form of it that re-mained. Colt's eyes were fixed hard on Tonga Dick, and Karen thought she had never seen anything like the intensity of that unwinking stare. If ever a man tried to look into an-other man's mind and take it apart, Colt was trying it now. Dick Wayne was filling his pipe. The very fact that he was smoking a pipe at all at a tea dansant made him look more at ease thereby, as if he alone, of all the people on that broad lanai, was completely at home. "You're thinking of exactly the same thing I am, John," Dick as-sured him softly. Once more the eyes of the two men met and held. "I imagine, Wayne," said John Colt smoothly, "that you are lying." Steadily, unhurried, controlled there was nothing in John Colt's voice to indicate that he knew what it was to doubt. Yet. somehow, Karen knew with utter certainty that Colt was shaken more deeply shak-en perhaps than he would have ad-mitted even to himself; and when Karen saw that, she was oppressed by a gray conviction that John Colt, gambling for Alakoa, in her behalf, had irrevocably lost. It was late in the evening when Dick dropped anchor in Alakoa's little bay, and immediately was driven up to the old house high in the gorges. His brothers, as he might have pvnpptpH. had already retired. It "Difficult to imagine," John Colt murmured. "Many things that actually hap-pen are difficult to imagine. Who would have imagined, for example, that the granddaughter of Garrett Waterson would turn up on my boat wearing false whiskers? Yet I give you my word, John, that is exactly what she did." Neither Karen nor John Colt seemed entertained. "I see the American ambassador to Japan," Dick said; "and some tobacco company boys, going out to their stations in China; and quite a sprinkling of movie stars from Hol-lywood; and a gentleman who cut a throat in Singapore, to my posi-tive knowledge." "You are pretty well acquainted," John Colt inquired suavely, "among cutthroats?" "Only among those indigenous to the Pacific. I also see here half a dozen gentlemen that I cannot quite place. A few years ago I would have said that they were American financiers of the type. I had understood that condi-tions on the mainland were no long-er favorable to those types." "You seem well informed." "This is a crossroads," Dick said. "You get a perspective upon both sides of the Pacific from here. But I still can't make out those wan-dering financiers. Oh I get it now. Since they have been smoked out of the mainland, naturally quite a few of them would come here, of course. Fugitive empire builders, by God! John, I see you are not alone." "I?" "Naturally," Dick said pleasantly, "quite a few of your type are here already, looking around to see if anything is lying loose. I must say, John, that your plans seem better thought out than most. I'm afraid that you are the type that thinks things through. Your prospects look excellent, John, from the outside." "I'm inclined to. think so myself," John Colt said. "Would you say that your chances are worth one hundred thousand dol-lars, John?" Only the faintest suggestion of contempt showed in John Colt's eyes as he smiled. "Have your brothers authorized you to make that offer?" "I haven't seen them," Dick ad-mitted; "they have already gone back to Alakoa. However, I think you will find it necessary to deal with me. I'm afraid I can't let you dicker with my brothers. They're much too easy to cheat." "And I am afraid," John Colt said, his voice so modulated that in the general din of the lanai Dick had al-most to read his lips, "that I'm not interested in dickering with either you or your brothers." "You definitely refuse one hundred thousand?" "I'm sorry." "Perhaps you'd care to make a counter offer?" "I'm sorry," Colt said again. Tonga Dick Wayne looked at Kar-en Waterson for a full minute, and his frivolous manner dropped away. Twice Karen met his eyes, but both times dropped hers again. Dick Wayne was looking at her with a real and unaffected regret. "One proposition more, Colt," he said, "and this is my last. One hundred thousand dollars to you, and one-thir- d share in Alakoa to Miss Waterson." "Miss Waterson," Colt said, "is not interested in any proposition at all." "Karen," Tonga Dick said, you have just heard the end of your Pa-cific adventure." John Colt's face was hard and se-rious, but there was a glint of in-tense satisfaction in his eyes which he could not repress. "Don't let him worry you, he said softly to Karen. "He's shown his hand-a- nd it's just as I said. The Waynes haven't a hope in the world. That's exactly why there reason for com-promise, has never been any from the first. Unless they knew they were beaten, they would at all. offer no compromise Dick Wayne emptied his glass snapped it down upon the table, and pushed back his chain '1? sa.d to Kar-en, in a couple of days," he "on Alakoa." answer out of That surprised an her. "Alakoa? We're not coming to A1"Oha'yes, you are. Or at least he want to bring you is He'll probably al'ong" He turned to John Colt. "The offers I made. I made on my own with-drawn " he said. "They are now tell why I made But I'll you Slit may interest you very John Colt ot particu.arly," drawled. "You have a lost case, Wayne." --I'm going to kill y"rrcase' Dick said tonelessly. "No that to do worse to you thaA the to give my brothers mTa ns wfth which to kill yo-u- - case. "We don't want any coffee," Er-nest said for them both. "Bring them anyway. Sit down, you two." Willard, who had started to lower himself into a chair, hesitated in some annoyance, but gave in. Some-where, early in their childhood, there must have been a time when the two elder brothers had domi-nated Dick by main force of age arid size; and although Dick could not even remember that time, Ernest and Willard had never been able to accustom themselves to the change in their relationship. He would al-ways seem to them an unjustifiable rebel, scandalous in manner, and wrong-heade- in his pursuits. Ernest, who was shivering a lit-tle, maintained his self assertion by remaining on his feet. "I would cer-tainly like to know," he said with asperity, "what your purpose was in bringing that that woman here." "No purpose at all," Dick grurr bled. They looked at each other mean-ingfully, and Dick noticed again the extreme nervous irritability which he had seen in them whenever they had met since his return to Hawaii. That nervousness looked compatible enough in the tall, thin Ernest, who never seemed to feel entirely well; but it was incongruous in the thick-set Willard Wayne, with his smooth, firmly padded cheeks and his slow moving eyes; for this nervousness was that of men haunted by an in-escapable fear. Dick knew that he had enough dynamite in his hands to blow their whole situation apart, and he had decided that he was willing to ac-cept the cost to himself of using it. But there was something else he wanted to find out first. There was a shadow of wicked mischief in his mvod now as he set out to prod it out of them. TO BE CONTINUED was surprising in how many super-ficial ways they imitated the virtues of James Wayne without ever seeming to accomplish anything thereby. Dick did not cause them to be roused, at once. Instead he sent for Charles Wong, and with the as-sistance of the efficient Chinese set about a brief survey of the condition of Alakoa's books. A careful audit would have been necessary in order to check through, with any accuracy, that great array of his uncle's books which recorded the financial transactions of Alakoa. Dick knew what he was looking for, however; he steamed rapidly through such of the summaries as interested him. The story that those books told should have pleased anybody, but it did not please Dick Wayne. He was hunting for something else, the ex-istence of which he only suspected, and to which he was perfectly cer-tain his brothers had no clue at all. When he had hunted a long time without result it became apparent to him that Charles Wong, under guise of assistance, was in subtle ways managing to confuse his search, and bring it to nothing. As this became definitely evident. Dick Wayne went back and searched again, and this time found what he sought. It was an inconspicuous item for the year 1930, 'easily brushed over, and obscure in mean-ing when found. It consisted of noth-ing more than an entry, under mis-cellaneous operating expense: "Old debts, $25,000." The entry was posted where it did not belong a practice untypical of either James Wayne or Charles Wong, and Dick turned sharply uoon the Cuinese. "What debt was this?" "I don't know, sir." "You posted this entry'" "Yes, I did." . . Chocolate and Cocoa Chocolate is richer and more nu tritious as a beverage than cocoa, although both originate from the seeds of the tropical Theobroms cacao tree. In chocolate the cocoa beans have been ground and caked together, with all the fal content retained. In cocoa, the beans have had much of the fat pressed out of them before they are ground and powdered.
