"Now I'd like to think you came down because you missed having me under foot, but I'm still relatively sane. And you don't look as if the doctor before, from the War Department Washington, cancelling Miguel Valera's previous order to report for active service with the 65th Infantry Fort Buchanan. That was all there was to it And now he was here. "I wonder what the hell . . . Pete thought as he returned the sen try's salute and hurried Inside. Lieutenant - Colonel Thomas J. Fletcher looked up from his desk with a slight frown. He liked Puerto Rico and he liked Pete, but he had been Assistant Chief of Staff, G 2. for only a couple of weeks, and his predecessor Colonel Mayhew liked neither Pete nor Puerto Rico. And he had warned Colonel Fletch er. "They're all aliKe. xney xninn the Army is the city desk of a yellow journal. You've got to watch them closer than you do the damn natives. They go off Look out for what they call their private sources of information." It was not only his predecessor s warning that disturbed uoionei Fletcher at the moment. It was the letter on the desk in front of him. Fortunately it had come in time. If it had come a little later there might have been hell to pay in Washington, and Colonel Fletcher might have found himself back in the States teaching R. O. T. C. boys squads right. He returned Pete's salute. "Taussig is in room 108 at the Granada, sir," Pete said. He re membered the "sir" just in time. You can call it off, Captain Wil cox." Fletcher spoke evenly and quiet ly. It was his own fault, of course. He should have taken Mayhew's advice instead of the ofTchance that Wilcox really had something. "You may read this." He handed Pete the letter. "Taus sig is not only a substantial citizen he has a very powerful politi cal sponsor." The letter was to Major-GenerDutton, the Commanding Officer of the Puerto Rican Department. The letterhead and the signature be longed to a United States Senator whose relations with the Press had not always been free of virulent ordered a rest. What about coming clean, Miss Heywood?" Anne crossed the patio and sat down on the balustrade. "I'm just down for fun," she said. He looked at her a moment "Did you meet old Don Alvaro?" he asked. She looked blank. "The father of the guy you were with on the ship?" You mean Miguel Valera?" "I mean his father." II She looked down again at the people on the dock. A girl was standing there gazing up along the crowded ship's rail. She was so lovely that Anne's heart sank another notch In spite of herself. She was slim and not very tall, with warm skin and dark sparkling eyes and tawny chestnut hair. Behind her was an older man. with the same arresting quality the girl had, except that hers was an almost breath-takinloveliness and his was a rugged and aristocratic dignity that seemed to hold him completely apart from the crowd around him. Suddenly both faces broke into an eager smile. The old man raised his hat, the girl waved her hand. Anne glanced around. Miguel Valera was waving back to them, his face lighted with pleasure. "That's my father," he said. Anne had noticed before the pride and warmth that came into his voice when he'd spoken his father's name. She could understand it now and yet for" some reason it made him suddenly remote from her, as if the man on the dock had moved in between them there at the rail. "And that's my cousin Graciela. She and her father live with us. Her mother was killed in Spain in the civil war." "She's lovely, isn't she?" Anne said. Anne caught a final glimpse of Graciela's face as they followed the crowd below. "He doesn't know she's in love with him," she thought. "Or he doesn't care." The reflection she caught of her self in the mirror on the landing of the stairs had a new and sudden radiance, and the touch of his guid' Ing hand on the bare skin of her arm bad a kind of magic she hadn't no ticed before. "I'm sorry the trip is over, really." she said. "I'm glad you're going to be in San Juan. I hope you'll let me show tou around." Anne came to a dead stop. At the bottom of the stairs, coming out of the ourser's office with two of tne ship's officers behind him, was Captain Peter Wilcox of the United States Army. He was in tan tropical pahardine. with a tan sun helmet under his arm and an inlaid mahog any swagger stick in his hand. For an instant he looked so different she wasn't sure if it was really he; he was older and harder and more au thoritative. Then he erinned as he used to do, Hello, Annie. I wondered if there was another Anne Heywood in this rt nf the world. "Cih Pete it's swell to see you!" She ran down the last steps. It was swell to see him. She would have kissed him.

If you want a scale map of the island and all its fortifications, all you do is send ten cents in stamps to General Headquarters." He got up. "I've got to push along. What about lunch? Twelve o'clock, Officers Club at El Morro. Any taxi driver'll get you there." Anne nodded. Pete Wilcox waited on the gallery until he heard the door trundle shut and the elevator begin its wheezing progress upward. He tossed, his cigarette into the jar of white sand by .

"It is a very great pleasure for me to take this opportunity to commend my old friend Mr. Richard Taussig r f to your kind attention. Mr. Taussig is a sanitary engineer of international repute. I shall regard any courtesy you can show him as a personal favor. I believe he is especially interested in the more domestic arrangements of the military establishment and I hope you will see your way clear to allowing him as much freedom for investigation as is consistent with the best Interests of all concerned. I am looking forward to his unbiased report on the use we are making of the vast funds pouring into our Caribbean bases. With warm per sonal regards, I am, very sincerely yours Across the bottom the General s dinner aide had scribbled: enough? Have arranged tour. How long is he staying?" Pete handed the letter back. "That's all. Captain. And by the way." Colonel Fletcher smiled faintly. "Are you sure this wasn't camouflage? When you want to meet a young lady it's best to just say so, you know. That's all." Fete sat for a moment at hts desk. "If I were Lindbergh, I could resign," he thought sardonically. He unlocked a drawer and took a grimy sheet of cheap hotel writing paper out of it. "Dear Mr. Wilcox," it began. "I take my pen In hand to say if you can take this as strictly private and personal between you and I, go ahead. If you got to turn it in to them brass hats you're mixed up with, stick a match to it I don't want the Joint wrecked any more I want to wake up in the morgue via the East River as they say.

Under it wag written "Gus." Pete Wilcox sat looking down at his hot tip, from the keeper of one of the most disreputable waterfront dives in Hoboken. It wasn't the first one he'd got Not one of them had been a phony. The F. B. I. had profited a number of times and no questions asked. He shrugged. "The Army," he thought "is different But I thought Fletcher was different too. I guess they grow brass bats young." He put the letter back In the drawer. After all, it was just Gus' word against a guy who evidently had friends in high places. But if Gus had gone to the length of writing a letter . . . "I guess I've stuck my neck out enough," he thought sardonically, What was the Army formula? Keep your mouth shut, your bowels open and never volunteer. There was . something In it "I'd better call off the pack before they put me in the guardhouse," he thought He picked up the phone and rang the Granada Hotel.

It was empty except for a man sitting on a wicker sofa be tween the center arches, reading a Spanish newspaper. Pete went over to the desk. The clerk pushed the pile of registration cards across to him. Anne's was on top, under it Mr. Richard Taussig's, Pete glanced through the rest of them quickly and handed them back to the clerk. He pushed Taussig's across the desk. "Phone messages and callers," he said. The clerk nodded. "And Miss Heywood would like room on the second floor as soon as It's possible." The clerk nodded again. The man on the wicker sofa folded his news paper and strolled out into the gal lery. "One oh eight," Pete said as he rjassed him. He would have liked to add "One ten," but Military Intel!! gence, once in motion, was like the mills of the gods, and he didn't want Anne Heywood ground exceedingly small.
