THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1931. | By CLIFF STERRETT COMIN moon SYNOYSIS: Behind Juanita B: igarette - girl disguise furks mystery intriguing patrons of the gambling parlors run by Jasen Divitt and his wife, Mol- ly. There Eric Ledbetter, a patren, vainly tries to life her veil. But she is more terri- fied upen secing one Senor Basara join Ledbetter, Adrian Fouche, Mrs. Belaise and her grandson, Kirk Stanard. Next day the innocent Juanita fol- lows Divitt's orders and, posing as Sencrifa Flores, calls on Mrs. Belzise and returns the necklace Devitt had stolen at the porlors. Her story is that she had found it on the street. Juanita refuses the proffered reward, but consents to Kirk's calling. When he sees her at the hotel, he brings a ring be- longing to his late mother, who Mrs. Belaise said rescmbled Jua- nita. A TARNISHED TITLE The Marquesa Carlota de Luiz y Cabrera took the seat that Divitt motioned her to and accepted a cigar “Well, Spike, I get your note.” Divitt closed the door, turned to the ma a. ‘Must I tell you again not to call me that?” he asked. “Do I call you ‘Craps’?

It is not ‘'so good here as in New Jer- sey. There are too many.” “So you've been reading palms the month you've been here.” Odd, that. She had been reading palms that first time he had seen her in the little back-street hotel in Philadelphia, reading them in the lobby for fun; telling people |all sorts of things about the fu- ture, their wives, husband and af- finities. Divitt had not had his hand |read, but he had stood watching |the marquesa in her wine-colored {dress and great Moorish earrings waiting until the crowd withdrew {0 the dining room. He had talked 'with her then, discovering that her powers of divination had not served to avert calamities in her own case. had pawned everything else she had except heér heavy, crescent- shaped earrings with dull stones... Divitt wondered now if she had pawned the earrings since. She had not pawned them. When he knew her better his newly laid plans for their work together appealed to her. Stressing its possibilities of wealth, he had learned in time that the marquesa loved danger as well, It was of this trait she was thniking when he had written her to come. The marquesa leaned toward him. “You need me here?” “Perhaps. But if people know you already as a fortune-teller—" “They will not remember. I am 50 disguise. Like a Gypsy.” “This is ticklish busines said Divitt. “High society, and all that. You really did move in court circles at home, the seion of a noble fam- ily, though a black ewe?" Carlota bridled somewhat. “I am ¥ith you in Philly because I need ‘he money. I am ready to help you nere—" “For the same reason,” supplied Divitt. “But you really are a mar- chioness—in case any one looks you up? “Let them look,” sald Carlota. “All right.

I sent Juanita to return it and refuse the reward. Had her give the name of Ysabel - Flores, which I made up myself. Told her to say she was from Seville.” “And she's from the Argentine?” haughtily asked the marquesa. “No matter. She looks the part, and she’s through with the Argen- uine. . . . That necklace was the entering wedge. They'll ask her ml visit them in return for this cour- f they're assured she’s real. Theyll introduce her into other wealthy homes. It's a gold mine. “No doubt you'rs the real thing too, Marquesa, but you could never | have done that. Juanita has paved the way, and you can follow—as her duenna. She thinks I mean not to let her get away and squeal. She has no intention of getting away, though it won't hurt to let her know you've got an eye on her. The chief risk is that men will want to marry her. She may fall in love nerself?” “And want to marry?” 1 Divitt shook his head. “There's bo darger of that. From what Mol- ly has gathered, in her talks with Juanita, something has made the thought of marriage impossible .to her. “But her secret may not prevent love. You yourself are to forestall that.” “Me?” cried the marqu be a fool, Mister Divitt.” “I am not such a fool as think you can prevent her being impressed. But you can see whenl she is impressed, can't you? You can prevent the confidences that follow when the emotion is mu- tual. You know that she either will not, or can not marry. That should be your cue. Drop a word in the young man's ear—or that of his . “Don’t to mamma. Check it before it goes too far. Nothing that would injure Her.” The marquesa nodded. “I under- stand.” “But your main job,” continued Divitt, “is to report all you see and hear as you go about with Juanita. Who' got the rocks and where they keep 'em. But tonight I'll have you meet Juanita. Her name is Ysabel, remember—though if you called her Juanita it wouldh't matter much. But of course no intimation that she’s ever seen the inside of this place. You're both from Se- ville, stopping at the Tijon—trav- eling. Ysabel's first glimpse of the world.” (Copyright, Dodd, Mead & Co.) Her veil thrust aside in the dim court tomorrow. . . . Did he recognize her?
