A RUM-RUNNER/ THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, AUGUST 25, By CLIFF STERRETT 1931. T'PROTECT YE FROM ONE-POUNDERS, &, <\ N \ = o= SYNOPSIS: Juanita Basara hides her past, selling cigarettes in Divitt's gambling place. The veil of her costume gives her cccurity and Divitt, his wife, Melly, Conchita and her son, Gabreau, treat hcr kindly. As for Umberto, Gabreau protects her from him. Eric Ledbetter, at the resort with Adrian Fouche, Mrs. Belaise and Kirk Stanard, her grandson, tries to tear off Juanita’s veil. She evades him, trembling because she has s-en Senor Basara of Mesico join the party. Through a thief's trick, Divitt secures M ise’s necklace and the next sends Juanita, intro- duced as Senorita Flores, to re- turn it, saying she had found it. The elated Mrs. Belaise is disappointed when the girl re- fuses a reward. Kirk asks Jua- nita to allow him to call on her.
