After a moment he swung his wide sunlight. She could almost see him toward her.

"You're in love when John Colt tapped at the door, with this Tonga Dick?" and was let in. "I don't know," Karen said.

Perhaps it was a terrible thing that a slender girl, weighing not more than one hundred and twenty pounds, could break up John Colt. Suddenly Karen knew the reason. This man had never made love to her, not by a word, not by so much as the pressure of a hand. But now nothing could have told Karen more definitely than this moment told her that Colt would rather lose Alakoa than lose her. John Colt was in love with her, completely and utterly, without recourse and without doubt. "What is it," John Colt said, "that this man has?" Entreating Now Diner I would like to change my Until now Karen Waterson had secretly looked forward to the first meeting of Tonga Dick Wayne and John Colt, as an event no sports-lovewould wish to miss. Now, however, her mischievous spectator-interes- t was superseded by new elements. Not Alakoa, but Karen herself, had become the focus of disturbance; making her hope that she would be as far away as possible r when the two should collide. The inevitable meeting took place late that afternoon. On the surface nothing could have seemed smoother or more casual. There was a tea dansant on the beach terrace of the hotel; Karen and John Colt sat at a table beside the dance floor. Neither of them saw Tonga Dick Wayne come strolling between the tables until he was standing there, beside Karen's chair. Dick Wayne was wearing whites, which emphasized the depth of his tan; perhaps that was why he managed to look like the only true islander there in all that throng. He grinned down at them amiably from his considerable height. "Hello, conspirators." Karen said, "Hello, Dick." John Colt stood up automatically, but said nothing; there was no least change in his expression. A miniature Filipino boy now came into evidence behind Dick Wayne; he was carrying a chair with which he must have followed Tonga Dick clear across the lanai through the crowd. Karen supposed that she would have to make the best of the thing, such as it was. ' "Mr. Wayne, I'm not sure whether you've met Mr. Colt?" "Not possibly the famous deep sea diver?" Dick asked. "Much better known," Colt purred "as an inventive pastry cook." "My mistake," Dick said. Dick Wayne accepted a drink the Filipino boy handed him, and chuckled as he looked about him. "I see re- "Tomorrow it will be all over town that the Waynes' black sheep is very clubby with the enemy, and has probably sold out." "Very amusing for you, I have no doubt." said John Colt. "Yes," said Dick. "You look kind of sweet, Karen." Colt made a movement in his chair as if he were about to rise. "Don't go away," Dick said, not bothering to take his eyes from the dance floor. He sipped his drink reflectively, "I have news for you, marked. Colt." (TO HE COMTIM ID) '4ssMMMtisMsssstsktotssssssstt The Truth First Actor I played Hamlet once, in the West.

If you weren't in the right if you did not rightfully possess all this island do you think I would have fooled with you?" "What do you want me to do?" "As far as I have anything to do with this," Colt said, "I'll never yield any Wayne one cent." There was a finality in that; but instinctively Karen knew that it was not a finality that had anything to do with money. What had been a contest for an island had turned into a contest between two men for a girl. Neither one of them would be satisfied now with any settlement that would not be a complete shutout for the other. When she had comprehended that, Karen knew that she was in a trap. Perhaps already an unalterable obligation had committed her to something she had not foreseen. some Honolulu people Trimmed 'Em!
