Jeff is to be chief engineer for a newly organized fruit company. They arrive in Tierra Libre to find both Zora and her husband dead, and Jeff suspects they were murdered. Conversations with his employer, Senor Montaya, and with his friends Jerry Mclnnis and Bill Henderson confirm his suspicions that there is something strange going on and that .Mitchell and Zora were killed because they knew too much. Now on a tour of inspection with Montaya he has met another friend. Slats Monahan. He Is troubled because Monahan, like Bill Henderson, is not as friendly as Jeff expected him to be. NOW CONTINUE WITH THE STORY CHAPTER VI Curts curious feeling about Mona- han persisted all evening. It was not so much what the man said as how he said it. Restraint in this hulking fellow was odd. Again the impression of something lacking in Bill Hendersons manner came to him. Neither Bill nor Slats Monahan was as cordial as Curt might have expected. Curt found himself paired off with Montaya for the night in a canvas tent. There were comfortable cot beds on a raised wooden platform, mosquito bars essential here, a camp chair, a small table on which stood vacuum jug and glass. Opening his musette bag to prepare for bed, Curts hand came in contact with the sharp corner of a bit of folded paper, apparently slipped under the flap without opening the bag. Curt pulled it out, unfolded it in the light of the lantern hanging from the ridge pole. He read: Curt, watch yourself. It was printed with pencil, in irregular letters, as though hurriedly. It wasnt signed. Curt heard Montayas steps. He palmed the paper, rummaged in the bag, found a bottle of quinine capsules, and as Montaya entered was washing one down. My wifes pet phobia, Curt said easily. And a good one. It is my rule that all workers in exposed areas shall take daily doses. Getting to sleep wasnt easy. Curt lay staring in the dark. Who had had an opportunity to slip that note into his bag? Here at this camp at some time during the evening each of the group had had occasion to leave the mess tent where theyd been talking and downing cold one-thir- Attractive Simplicity In Slip Embroidery Relief At Last For Your Cough CREOMULSION Attractive Female Weakness 166-- ant-lik- as preciated their fine they trimmed and finished, and placed the mats for the forward march of the big machine. As he sat there on his patient beast watching the operations, the bucket-cabl- e snapped. Curt nudged his mount through the muck to the machine. Monahan was already rolling out another cable from the cab. Evidently this was a regular occurrence. What size rope you using? called Curt. Inch. Have many breaks? Too many. Why dont you use heavier? Mitch thought it might jam. Lets see that break. Curt was now at the machine. Monahan picked up the broken cable, hauled hard on it, lifted the end to Curt. This brought him close enough for Curt to say, under cover of the running Diesel: Slats, you used to visit with the Mitchells over in Soledad. Yeh, thats right. Once in a while. Was Zora Mitchell Huh? Thats a funny question. No, course not. Why? And what drinks after dinner. Henderson and Monahan, of all these men, knew that musette bag What about that murder, Slats? of old.
