WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1936. NEVER MIND THE LADY - NEVER MIND THE LADY ~ NEVER MIND THE LADY by David Garth = COCCCOCOO COCO OO DOEOCOOOOSOOOOSOSSOSSOSOOOEOOOOOSS SYNOPSIS: Allaire West has awallowed her pride and flown from the United States to the little South American town of Propio- noire to tell Terry Willett that she loves him. He accepts the informa- tion in stony silence, believing that he must refuse her for her own good, the life of a wandering engi- neer being what it is. Then Allaire meets Bucky Corrigan, downstairs, and learns from him that Terry has taken much punishment for her sake — even a lashing from the police. Chapter 39 CARRIAGE DRIVE AS was sitting up straight, looking at him with shocked amazement. Bucky Corrigan’s face seemed to be swaying back and forth through a blur. But there was something that quickened her pulse beat. Everything was so clear. She sank back weakly for a mo- ment and laughed shakily. Corrigan looked at her doubtfully and decided she could use a good shot. He departed for the bar and emerged with a glass in each hand just as Terry Willett came striding through the lobby like a runaway express. “Where is she, Bucky?” he de manded. “Where's who?” “That girl. She walked off some place. I can’t let her go walking around this town after dark alone.” “Oh, that girl,” drawled Corrigan. “Why, she went off down the street with a little bald-headed man who limps and has a cast in one eye—” Willett’s fingers gripped his arm. “Do you know where she is or dou’t you, you thick Mick? I can’t waste time.” “She's out on the verandah,” said Corrigan hastily, as both glasses nearly spilled under Willett’s urge for information. “And I think I have made you out a hero.” Wiiiett had already departed. Cor- rigan looked philosophical. He had one drink and then, deciding that there was no use wasting the other one, he raised it in brief salute and drank that one too. Terry went out on the verandah and looked around. He saw her im- mediately; sitting in the shadows and resting her white chin in the palm of her hand. “Oh,” he said, relieved, “there you are.” Swiftly her eyes raised to his. “Yes, Terry, here Iam. You missed me, perhaps?” “I thought you'd be walking around here some place. If you were crazy enough to come down here, you'd be crazy enough to do any- th She arose and linked her arm in his. “You could protect me with a car- riage drive,” she said. “Under your supervision, of course.” “All right,” he said. “If you like.” He escorted her to the street and hailed a carriage. The girl seemed glowing. Distance had been de- feated, and now uncertainty. The question mark had vanished. In the carriage she put both her arms in his and spoke close in his ear. “Terry,” she whispered, “you can’t fool me again. I'm here to stay.” Willett tried to say something. “Quiet, darling. 1 know all about everything now. Not that I had to know about it to realize I loved you. but to realize you loved me. I’m so proud.” “Damn Corrigan,” he muttered. “Nothing matters any more, does it, Terry?” He sat up, every muscle tighten- ing suddenly. “Everything matters. It won't work, Allaire. I'm not going to drag you around after me. Your place is in the States, and the States don’t offer any attractions to me. | don’t care about anything up there. We'd both be lest. I've got this job to do and I told you | was going to do it, and after that I'm going to shove some place else. Where do you fit in with that picture?” “As your wife, Terry.” Willett’s face twisted. He leaned over and took both her hands in a fierce grip. He was silent for a long while and the carriage creaked and swayed through a night whose darkness was thinned by the -ayriad lights of the town. “All right, Allaire.” he said so- berly, “I just wanted you to look be- fore you jumped. I wouldn't have you hurt, b~t if you’re game enough to take a chance we may come through,” he laughed shortly, “God knows I am. Only I still think you're too grand a girl to waste your life.” “And you're too grand to waste yours.” She smiled at him, that love- -ly, soul-stirring smile. He drew her to him, a slim girl fn | tropical white with honey-colored | hair, Step on the gas and catch the | lights as you go by. ORRIGAN and Willett sat at a table in the Santini bar the next morning. “You're a sap,” said Corrigan. “Sure, she’s a swell girl, but what do you want to tle yourself up for? And what’s she going to do here alone? You can’t take her up the river.” “I know it. I can’t take her with me or leave her alone here. That's why we're getting married this morning. Married women have a status. [ll find her a house and staff it with a couple of good servants to take care of her. I've already seen Drake and he told me about a reli- able married couple. The man’s sort of old, but he’s strong and it'll be a good thing to have him around. The woman is a fat old Chaiki, but she’s kind and she'll be company for Al- her, Corrigan, I'll never forgive my- f. ‘Nothing’s going to happen to her. She’s got guts, that gal, but—” “Yes, I know,” said Terry crisply. “She’s picked a funny one to tie to; I told her that.” “And it makes no never mind, huh? Well, 1 wish you luck, fella. And now what?” “You go on up to the camp. The Chaikis will be following soon'‘ahd Got to see that she'll be all fight while I'm gone.” He looked at his wrist watch. “Come on, Bucky. Here's where you get closer to a padre than you've ever been before in your life.” They met Allaire at the consulate. She had on a white sports coat and looked as though she was just about to start off for Meadowbrook. “I'm terribly sorry, Terry,” she said. “I left home so hurriedly 1 couldn’t improve on m, trousseau.” Willett’s civilized effects being stored up the river in his camp, he had to wear the same clothes in which he’d come down, but he’d bor- rowed a necktie to lend some dignity to his costume. “You look wonderful,” he said deeply. Allaire flushed in spite of herself; she'd hoped he would say that. They took a carriage to the church. Corrigan, Drake, and the American Consul followed in another one. They rolled through the streets of Propionoire with the bars opening on the sidewalks, dark-skinned men in white ducks drinking their syrupy coffee in the dim, cool interiors, and waiters carrying trays of spilling beer and shot glasses. Willett took the girl's hand. “It’s not too late, Allaire,” he said in a low voice. “This isn’t the kind of thing you ought to have had.” “Love me, Terry?” It was the answer, the answer she had to everything. To her it was enough. And so they drew up before a little white stone church with age-old bel- fry. The padre was waiting on the steps. There was something in his face that made her think of Doctor Ross back in Carteret, something mellow and serene—the face of a man who'd seen a lot of the world go by and become philosophical and tol- erant of those who made up that world, Journey's Beginning. ERRY found her a house, a 8! house of stucco set back frb! well-traveled road, but not RE) back. It was on ‘high groufi from the little verandah she c see the harbor, and the roofs of city that ganged up near the water- front. There were iron,bars omthe dows of the lower fipor which rat! dismayed her at first. Allaire’s idea of a home most certainly did not in- clude iron bars on windows. But Wiliett had been around and he knew a great deal about starving sneak thieves who formed a sizable part of the population. Eugenio and Rosa, the two ser- vants, were pleasant, kindly Chaikis. Eugenio, stooped and white-haired and very thin, was a startling con- trast to his fat wife. On that first night in her house she stood with Terry on the veran- dah and looked out over the pano- rama she had adopted. Discernible were the riding lights of the freight- ers in the harbor, and the straight lines of lights below that marked the outlines of the streets. In some places they were very few and far between and barely distinguishable —the alleys of Propionoire.

SITE MOUNDS C. (Dizzy) Stiekney defeated his brother, F, (Daffy) Stickney, in a pitching duel at Bayview Park yesterday afternoon. Both were in great form, “Dizzy” al- lowing only five hits and “Daffy” six. The former struck out three, while the latter whiffed four. Frank lost his game when he walked in a run. The Sanitary Department, Clyde’s outfit, scored 3 runs to the Administration’s two, and the victory thereby made the Social League race a little more interest- ing, as now there are three clubs in the battle for first place. A. Castro, with three singles inj; four times up, was the leader at bat. Jones end Goss connected for two out of four and two out of three, respectively, In the field, Jones, Rueda and Lewis for the losers and A. Castro and A. Acevedo for the winners were outstanding. Jones doubled and M. Lopez tzisled for the only extra base hits of the game. In the ninth, with one out, M. Lopez con- nected with the three-bagger but then Stanley and Jones failed to come through and the game was over. Score by innings: R, H. E.
