Now Terry has found Allaire at her mothers lururious home in Washington, and they have quar- reled through misunderstanding, and Terry has left for no an- nounced destination, Chapter 23 HAPPY RETURN EORGE FOX had been flying so long he felt like a bird. The plane set him down in Washington at the end of his long air jaunt. Sam Jennings of the Latin American Af- fairs Division was there to meet him. They got into an official car driven by a Department chauffeur and rolled companionably along toward the city. “Pretty important fellow, huh?” grinned Jennings. “Special mission to the State Department. Hot dog!” “Beautifu! women spies tried to cut my hair even as Delilah unto Samson,” Fox assented, “but | foiled ‘em. Know where | kept the secret formula KX2117539 that all foreign powers have been trying to get?” “No! Where?” Fox nodded mysteriously. “In a hollow tooth,” he said in tri- umph. “What a master mind,” comment- ed Jennings. “Lucky there weren't any beautiful women dentists on your trail. Seriously, George, how are things down there?’ “Cooling off, but they'll be pot- shooting each other for a long time. Regular army tactics never prove much, but guerrilla warfare and mob violence are a reign of terror. The Ambassador had some notions on the arms embargo treaty, Monroe Doctrine, and a few other matters, so he sent me up with the dope and wangled a leave of ubsence for me at the same time. Nothing very startling.” “No,” said Jennings, “just enough 80 that I have to break in on the Secretary's weekend with his pipe, book, and collie, to bring him this dope of yours. We've been waiting for you. He doesn’t know which wa; to jump on this arms embargo bus’ ness. Paul Revere Fox, that’s you.” “Huh!” said Fox. m one of these ornamental and inconsequen- tial things known as an attaché. Peo- ple stumble over me and wonder why the streets aren't paved better.” “Well, all I've got to say is don’t tmarry a burlesque queen, rod a bank, or poison your grandmother, and you'll get plenty far. This is more than leave of absence for you, George. You're going to be assigned to duty at the Department for a while and then transferred. Don’t know where exactly, but 1 think you're ticketed for St. James. You've dented some pretty important con- sciousness around here with the fact | of your existence.” “Put it down to connections, pri vate income, and the grab ba: yawned Fox. “Ever modest. Glad to be back?” Fox clasped his hands behind his| head, stretched his legs, and looked | out the winlow as the car turned into the city proper. “I feel as though I were coming baek for a col reunion,” he said dreamily. “You know—the memory of old faces, old scenes, long spring afternoons with nothing on your mind. Come back and recapture something that you have discovered was priceless, t! you didn’t realize you needed so much.” “Hmmm.” murmured Jennings, eyeing him thoughtfully. = B went “when I was a youngster in prep | school. Sat at commencement wait- ing to hear if my name was going to be called for a certain prize. Wanted it like the devil. Squirmed around in my seat and tried to look unconcerned at the same time. “The Headm: ir came to the! front of the platform, adjusted his spectacles, looked at a piece of paper, there was a deep hush, and—well, on Fox, | “Who is she?” said Jennings. Fox started, then he smiled. ‘ou leap to conclusions like a} damned mountain goat playing leap- | frog with the Alps.” “Some men stutter,” said Jennings with conviction, “and others write poetry. Lousy poetry. My brother used to stand before the canary bird's cage with a glazed look in his eyes and twitter the canary into heebie-jeebies. My father said his experience was an attack of cramps. Personally, 1 always went deep-sea fishing. Love has all kinds of reac- tions.” “You ought to write a monograph on the subject.” “T would,” said Jennings, “but why PEIPING STARTS WAR AGAINST STRAY DOGS, (Ry Associated Press) PEIPING, January 10.—More than 13,000 dogs have been re-! gistered by their owners with city offi inauguration of the “war on wonks” last year.

Seeing that no information was fothcoming, Jennings swung back to the business of arms em- bargo treaties, marines, and the Sec- retary’s weeken« comfort, until he dropped Fox at a hotel. “Remember,” he warned humor- ously, “don’t get caught in any funny places, and be sure the lady is so- cially acceptable to be a future big shot’s wife.” “My regards to the Secretary,” said Fox. “Tell him my life for my coun- try any time except when I’m on leave.” Jennings waved a hand and drove off. Fox checked in at the hotel and then took a taxi to Eleanor West's home. He had no surety that Allaire would be there; he could only hope. The butler thought she might be in her mother’s cocktail salon. He took the little private elevator to the second floor and stepped out into a long red and silver room filled with Eleanor’s usual cocktail crowd. Three Japanese boys went about with trays of cocktails and highballs among gay chatting groups. Allaire wasn’t anywhere to be seen, but her mother was sitting in a corner deep- ly attentive to an earnest young man with very dark hair and very high white forehead. As he talked he frequently ran his hand up over his forehead and through his chick poetical raven loeks. He was talking about lights, as Fox approached, vibrations and lights, dirty yellow lights, pure white lights, pink lights—all twinkling. LEANOR interrupted him to ex- tend a languid hand to Fox. She was quite beautiful, her hair like Allaire’s except that constant ses- sions with the hairdresser failed to give it the same natural wealth of live color. “Hello, George. Back from the wilds? Nice of you to drop in. Let me introduce Mr. Valaour.” Fox met Mr. Valaour, then he turned back to her. “I’m looking for Allaire—is she “No, she isn’t. 1 don’t know where she is. She went out last night be- fore dinner gnd hasn’t come back.” She put a cigaret in a long holder unconcernedly. Her daughter's dis- appearances were nothing unusual to her. “Do go on, Jacques. This is a new religion,” she added to Fox. “Not new,” protested Mr. Valaour. “It is as old as the world itself. It belongs tg the Ptolemies. Oh. no, do not mistake yourself; it is not new. It is merely adapted to modern thought and terms. Your personality is expressed in terms of lights all vibrating about the One Main Light—” “I'm terribly interested,” mured Allaire’s mother. Fox wasn't. It sounded like gib berish to him. He excused himself. So Nell was investigating a new re- ligion now. Or, perhaps, it was Mr. our who was being investigated. He was walking through clusters of chattering humanity toward the exit when somebody tapped him on the shoulder. “You do not remember me, Mr. Fox?” The attaché found a tall man at his elbow, a handsome smiling man, dressed impeccably from the tips of his grey-spatted shoes to the white carnation on his lapel. Fox recalled him with a certain shock of surprise. It was Ramon LaMarr who had met Nell West in the Argentine and followed the polo party north. He svag a big game hunter and globe trotter, or some- thing. So he said. “I remember you, of course,” said Fox, shaking hands. LaMarr smiled at him warmly. “I haye wanted to see you for some time: What fortune we should meet.” “What can I do for you?” inquired Fox. “A great deal,” said LaMarr, “but I will do a great deal for you, too. An exchange—no?” He laughed. “Let us have a drink together.” “Sorry.” said Fox, find somebody.” “Ah,” said LaMarr. “Somebody? Miss Allaire West, perhaps?” His voice ended on a raised note of suggestive inquiry. Fox hesitated. He didn’t care for LaMarr—hadn’t ever since Allaire. had termed him a scavenging shark following in the wake of a ship. She had tried to chase him away from her light-headed mother several times. What was He doing here? LaMarr was smoothly oblivious to the attaché’s hesitation. “You are looking for Allaire,” he went on, “and I am looking for you. Believe me, it is very important.” (Copyright, 1985, by David Garth) mur.

Of course in some cases they probably had to neglect some business, but then who has any business these days? And from all accounts a good time was had on the links and if they had stayed in their place of business they would have been meditating on how bad same is ete. But let us get on wita the scores: The first outfit through was Strunk and Doe Willie Kemp and the reason they were finished so soon was because each had such a | good score that they saved hours by taking so many strokes. Once- upon-a-time Doc was the city champion and if he shoots many more games like thetone yester- day, he will be state. champion next. For many days Willie has terday and with that score he beat Eddie one on medal and took two ski He had four pars on each round and so all that hollering and going on you heard in the vicinity of Casa Marina last eve- ning was just Willie putting on a little celebration. Mr. Strunk went home down hearted and down cast and now Kirsch and Melvin won’t believe that their old pal Willie put one over on Hur ricane Eddie. Handsome Horace arrived on the scene so late that he had to play by himself but he had a lot of jacket to keep his company. Not only that but he could talk te himself and always agree with what is said and not start in to arguing as he usually does when he plays with others, Bill Malone was _ undecided whether to celebrate or not. It is true he beat Charlie Ketchum a couple of strokes but his ancient rival in the shape of Otto Kirch- heiner continued his Nemesis as usual. Both Bill and the tax man had scores of 95 while Charlie shot a 97. Of course Ketch for- got to knock one or two down the middle and so was unable to say “that’s a nice one, boys!” and thereby got off his game momen- tarily. at The marathon players were starting in on the third round when most players were finishing up. But of course young guys like Old Bye Sands and Cookie Mesa are not bothered with dis- tance and besides they had to give Li Plummer a little moral encouragement since Li arrived on the scene when most golfers are getting ready to eat supper.
