SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1986, NEVER MIND THE LADY - NEVER MIND THE LADY NEVER MIND THE LADY EVER MIND THE LADY (NEVER MIND THE LADY NEVER MIND THE LADY SYNOPSIS: Allaire West just has refused George Foz’s proposal of marriage, because as she frankly tells him, she cannot forget Terry Willett. hard-fighting engineer now on his way back to South America and one of the . ost dificult jobs on the continent. And then Ray West, Allaire’s father, tells her that Terry ..as been with Puff Har- rington under rathe- compromising circumstances. Allaire has deserted the formal dinner arranged by her father, and ts trying to decide what 10 do, Chapter 36 MORNING FLIGHT _ ND Allaire could have sworn Terry Willett really loved her. ‘He'd fought for her and she’d been so proud of it. Proud! She nearly laughed. He'd fought for Puff too, and gone to “ight Court. A mouthful of fog. Yes, her father had warned her. Steering an impos sible course amid parties, and horse shows, and bachelor cotillions, to- ward the glow of rivers to cross and battles to win. And now Ray was laughing. She yanked off her silver satin slipper and hurled it savagely out the window. “That's for you, Willett!” she said furiously. The gesture seemed to snap some- thing in her. She sank back as if ,exhausted. The gesture had been silly, inane, and she hated to make silly inane gestures. She'd made one before when she sent Terry away when she knew she loved him. Sent him away in his hour of need, the Carieret minister had said. Hour of need! It seemed a spar, that phrase, in the floating wreck- age. A spar that any woman would seize. A strong man had needed her, one of the greatest honors vouch- safed to woman. And she’d sent him away, relinquished all claim to him, sent him to Puff on the rebound. She'd driven him to Puff Harring- ton. “It was my fault,” she repeated stubbornly. “Mine.” But he had come back to fight a battle for her, to sweat and be hurt and run the gauntlet of an armed and desperate snake. Allaire clung to that fiercely. She had sent him away, but he had come back. She went to the phone and called Shorty Hasbrouck at the Washing- ton landing field. “Shorty,” she said clearly, “this is Allaire West. My bus is still in the shop. Can you fly me down to Miami tomorrow morning?” “Sure,” said Shorty. “How early?” “With the sun,” said Allaire. She hung up and stood lost in thought. There’d be a big argument around here; might as well get it over. She picked up the house phone and called the butler’s pantry. “Blythe, see if you can find my father. 1 want to see him right away.” . Contact! A group of three people stood on a landing field and watched a little red and black Stinson rising into the early morning sun. Ray- burne West, Nell West, and George Fox. “What got into her?” Ray sounded dazed. “After what she knows about him.” Fox turned and faced them. “It's very simple,” he told them steadily. “You starved her for af- fection when she was young and she’s grown up with all that affec- tion stored and accumulating and waiting to get out. And she’s made it over lock, stock, and barrel to Terry Willett.” He took a deep breath. “And if you ever prayed in your lives be fore, you'll pray that her courage and love and fight won't go to waste, but will see her through. Because,” and his voice shook, “she’s putting all her chips on one turn of the wheel and the odds are against her—” He turned away from them. What did they know of battle? ee ROPIONOIRE! And the coffee chutes were humming again. Coffee! Thousands of bags of it. The Great God Coffee! Hail to Coffee! — it had broken the grip of the revo lution. The last mines were being taken up out of the harbor so that the freighters of twenty nations could get in to resume their profit- able trade, Dark-skinned men in white ducks came into Propionoire and filled the hotels and bars. They had been ma- ,Fooned ou! by? the revolution. {They met, ititriend#, embracing ‘with alternate hugs which reminded one of a French general conven- tionally saluting a decorated poilu.

But of course the revolution had never stopped those days of sodden Tain and days of blinding heat. They'd always been there in a place where anything could happen. Terry Willett and Bucky Corrigan had moved in on the river job. They'd shoved into town the day the armistice was signed. They had things going in two weeks and in two weeks they also knew what they were up against. Corrigan came down the river to get some more men and ran into difficulties. It was going to be a long job and a lot of the women didn’t ‘want either to accompany their men or let them go up to that unhealthy spot in the river. The padre had influence, but Cor- rigan wasn’t much good in talking to padres, so he sent for Willett. Willett came down impatiently, while Corrigan ended up in Drake’s office, looking as though he’d been through a war. “By golly,” he said, lounging in a chair with one putteed leg thrown over the arm, “it’s a stinker if lever | saw one. You can’t get a hold on the thing—it’s like grabbing a handful of ooze.” “It’s a tough one,” agreed Drake, the Coffee Company agent, “bat Willett almost licked it before and if that river can be opened to com- merce it will be a great thing.” “Yeah, sure. Willett doesn’t give a damn abott opening the river to commerce, but the job beat his old man and he’s death on beating it. You know what he’s figuring on do- ing?—putting in a system of locks. Why, he hasn’t got a chance. Rainy season will be on him before the work’s half done, and everything will go blooey.” E shoved his sun helmet back on his head and rolled a cigaret with deft powerful fingers. “Willett’s come back from the States funny. He doesn’t say much. Doesn’t laugh much either. All he wants to do is pull this job through and he’s putting his whole life into it.” No, nobody with any sense would have tackled that job. Drake had always felt that. But it was every- thing to Terry Willett. It was a Debt of Honor. Corrigan went back to his hotel room in the Santini. He poured out a long shot, fizzed e dab of soda into it, and then glass in hand sat back with bis feet resting on a chair and prepared to be comfortable. Willett came in shortly afterward. He was a picture of bronze—his hair, the complexion of his lean square-jawed face, his brown breeches and puttees and his khaki shirt with the sleeves rolled up over tanned forearms. “What luck with the padre, fella?” Willett nodded briefly. “He's going to use his influence. Great institution, padres.” “Yeah, they marry people too. That's another great institution.” Willett picked up the bottle and pulled out the cork. He mixed a quick one and then sank down in a chair with his long legs stuck out before him. “Ever thought of it, Bucky?” “Oh, sure,” said Corrigan, “lots of times. When I was in the States last I nearly stepped off in a weak moment. Cute kid—Anne Harlow was her name. Came half-way to my shoulder and her eyelashes were so long they got in the way when you kissed her.” “What happened?” Corrigan wasn't quite sure. It had been three years ago. “I don’t remember exactly. 1 went to Mexico with the McLean outfit and when that job was over swung south instead of north. She’d have had a sweet life in some hole like this, wouldn't she? And I'd rather be able to shove off somewhere at & moment’s notice than be tied up with some babe. Am I right?” “Yes, I guess you are, Bucky. They don’t mix.” “Sure,” said Bucky. “Let’s get drunk tonight—one last binge.” Willett looked speculative. “But I'm not going to take care of you,” Corrigan said severely. “If you get into any fights you'll have to finish them yourself. Let’s under- stand that.” “Count me out, Bucky. The idea doesn’t register. Ana if you knock over any of these toy policemen I'll boot you in the seat of your intelli- gence. We can’t get into any extra trouble.” (Copyright, 1985, by David Garth) over 1914, {TIL, coal mine. 1934—Dillinger captured DRUNKEN | ELKO, Nev.—An old MAN FINED |Joe Segura was fined $50 twhile intoxicated, show jump of some 75 percent at Tucson, Ariz.—eseaped March 3rd. “drunk telephone inventor, opened trans-} ‘tiving” statute was invoked by :@ justice court in this city, when for riding a horse on the city streets PARK TIGERS AND | SCHOOL BOYS WON THEIR CACE TILTS FIRST GAMES OF SECOND- HALF OF BASKETBALL SCHEDULE WERE INTER- ESTING AND HARD FOUGHT The first games of the second- half of the Island City Winter Basketball League were played at the High School Gym last night.

Bill being a nice guy, said “No, just pay.” Or was it play? Anyhow, Bill had a nice_78 while Sweet Elyssium being a gentle soul did not say how many he had. Sam said he would eat all meals thate were not called last night. Since Josie Lopez could not play. ‘a‘real he-man in the shape, ‘size and looks of Li Plummer took this place which necessitated Sam- uella Goldsmith and Winsome Wil- ilie Watkins being separated. Bas- com Grooms and Sam played Li and Willie and lost, lost, lost. Mr. Li-Plummer has been in high glee ‘ever since number three hole yes- terday when Li’s partner won the bet for him. All the rest of the day, and yesterday, too, Mr. Plum- had been telling how “we” took Sam and Bascom. But, of course,’ Mr. Plummer also played a hice game and should be given lots of credit for same. Some- how or other Mr. Pious William was making a 91 and Samuella got lost on the course with a 91 also. - Bascom had 65 on ° one round and says that wasn’t such Li replied, “I+ Mr. Duke of Rock Sound went out to play Earl Julian and Louis Cruickshank to a tie but it seem- ed“Mr. Sands came out one stroke better than Earl and about nine worse than Louis. However, Mr Sands had a lot of fun. Mr. Charlie Salas was slightly addled Thursday and came near making 100 strokes. But he had Cookie Mesa for a partner and they were too much for Charlie Ketchum and Grandpa Bob Stowers: It also seems that, while Ohas. and Cookie won by, some 18 or 19 points they werd very much disappointed that they did not win by 36 but J. R. says they forgot that once in a while he makes par on number seven which changes him from Grandpar to just plain par. got] Mr. J. Otto Kirehheiner “Curry Harris for a partner and won a couple of free meals off }Tim Pittman and Handsome Hor. ace O’Bryant by the tune of some 6 points. Otto had a 94 which is fewer than he is entitled to make while handsome got 6 more than he gives the kids when they know their lessons right. Timotheus made a brave struggle but that white sweater of the “Prof.’s” .was being kept neat and clean and Tim says “how can you play with a sissy?” Mr. ‘Doe Willie Percival Kemp got Mr. Sam Harris in such a dither, about the meal arrange- ments being changed that Mr. Harris neglected to feed his cats before ‘retiring Thursday evening}, with the result that one cat has ‘fone ‘to live with the neighbors. It seems that Eddie was having a bit more trouble making few strokes than Samuella while Wil- lie Pereival was knocking the ball around like his old pal Kirch Mr. J. J..Kirschenbaum should have been playing and he would have found two very quiet gentlemen around and would have had the pleasure of revenge. Mr, Calk- ins took the place of Melvin Rus- seel and Doe said it was too good of.a%take on account of Mr. C. got some 50-44 which was a cou- E.| ple better than William himself.
