They are mar- ried in the South American coffee oe of Propionoire, and Terry has ad to leave Allaire to the protec- tion f a pair of Chaiki servants, nd g0 back tv his engineering job wpe muddy Palva river.

Leaner perhaps, and a little tired about the eyes and the cor- ners of his mouth, but striding as easily and tirelessly as ever. “I've wanted to get down so damn often,” he said, “but I just couldn't, Allaire. And I have to go right back tomorrow.” “How is everything, Terry?” “If it wasn't for this rotten rainy Season that’s coming up — stopped, and waved a dismissing hand. “Let’s not bother about it. Things beep pretty tough for you?” She didn’t answer. Absently, she Plucked at the sleeve of his shirt, her eyes dreamy. He wondered. “Whaf'g,the matter, Allaire?” he| asked quickly. “Anything wrong?” “Terry, would you mind awful-| ly it—2” Willett felt something chill him for an instant. Would*he mind| what? — if she went back to the States? “Go on, Allaire,” he said steadily. “Terry,” and again her color heightened, “I — you — that is we, we're going to have a baby.” It was men that had to be pre pared for some things. Willett felt | breathless, stunned. He tried to say something and couldn't locate any thought waves. And then he was at her side, one arm around her, andj she put ber head on his shoulder. “Are you glad?” she murmured. “Oh, Allaire, 1 should have thought—” She sat up straight, alarmed. “Terry, don’t you want him? Be-| cause if you don’t—” He drew her to him gently. “Of course I do,” he said quickly. “1 was just thinking about you. | want to take care of you, honey, and | I'm marooned up there and you're alone. You mustn't be alone.” He paused and ran his brown hand over the shining hair at her temples. “Don't you think you'd bet- ter go up to the States where you'll be among friends and your own sur- oe dings? she said, won't. That isn’t my idea of married life, to be stuck away like some hothouse plant.” “Well, the capital, then? Much more comfortable and pleasant and safe.” His voice didn’t quite take that last word in stride. Maybe his father had tried to get Vic toa safer place, too. “Terry, | won't. I'm going to stay here and wait until you finish that job.” Finish that job! She might wait ® long time. Willett’s hands were hot. “Terry, you don’t feel sorry or tied down or anything, do you?” He sprang up and took a nervous restless stride up and down the room. “No!” he exclaimed. “You may have married a busted engineer, Al- lire, but you haven't married a/| beoel.” He stopped and looked down at her seriously. “Take care of your- self, honey, be careful and—” he suddenly knelt on one knee by her side, “you know | have to go back, don’t you? I wouldn’t leave you otherwise, but I have to, Allaire—” Of course he had to. She had a feeling that the bulk of his confi- dence and his courage was locked in his death grip with the Palva, and he was drawing on all that remained to bolster her in the face of what lay ahead of them both. HE procession of weeks had started again, broken only by Terry's quick visit. Once again he had disappeared into the still, fate- ful silence of that camp up the river. As the weeks went by she began to rebel at sitting around down here while he was off somewhere. It was 1 arrying a sailor on a furlough Bxt time she saw him to be “pe Sout the halfback on the lo- ro yf school team as his son. gotat wasn’t the way she'd -feamed of marriage. She wanted to be with Terry. The doctor who came to see her once in a while as the days passed was no help. He had a doleful, fu- nereal expression, and his attitude, coupled with the empty hot loneli- ness of Propionoire, caused her to al -” he} NEVER MIND THE LADY NEVER MIND THE LADY NEVER MIND THE LADY 'be assailed with a restless, slightly panicky feeling. Rainy season set in. As Terry had said, it was that ceaseless sodden rain that permeated and dampened everything, a thick grey mesh that just fell without life or force, just dripped as though every raindrop was a numbered prisoner marching mechanically to his cell. For five or six days it would rain like that and then there would be a period of blazing heat. Drake said this was just the forerunner of the stormy season and then it was bad. Drake had a remarkable sense of bumor. Corrigan came down after sev- eral more weeks had passed, the first time she'd seen him in six months. He wasn't the amiable tide of booming enthusiasm that had flowed all around her when she first met him. Corrigan was an engineer on a job now. He looked dead on his feet. | “Terry told me,” he said awk- wardly. “I—hum — congratulations. That’s fine.” He coughed. “How is Terry?” she asked quickly. “All right. Been working like the | devil.” Corrigan lit a cigaret and sat jdo won wearily. “He “would have |come, but he had a slight touch of |fever — oh, aothing bad,” he said quickly as her eyes widened in | alarm. “We've been socked slightly |at one time or another. Terry's the last to fee! it. He’s iron.” “And the work?” “V JELL—” Corrigan spread out his hand ana stared at the long powerful fingers, “if we only had time to beat this river to the punch, we'd pull through. That hus- band of yours is a great engineer, lady. One of the nicest jobs I ever saw. “If we don’t get the job further along, the river will knock what | we've done blooey. We're trying to do it before the river wallops that temporary dam in the nose. If we don't—well, we'll all come floating down with the wreckage, digging lizards out of our necks and mud | out of ~ur ears.” “And then what?” Corrigan shrugged. “You know Terry. He'll feel he’s failed again.” The girl was silent for a long time. Terry had to win now. He just couldn’t fail, not when it meant so much to him. “How much more time does he need?” “Worst part of the seasoa is in about a month or so. After that, it’s jall right. The river gets tired and goes back to sleep. If we can get past that without being turned into | salted mackerel, we're over the wire and a hip, hip, hooray!” He grinned suddenly. “You certainly are an en- gineer’s wife.” “I know it,” said Allaire, “and fm going up that river with you when you go back.” Corrigan looked a little weak. “You—what?” he gasped. “I'm going back with you.” Bucky recovered partly. “Whew!” he said with relief, “you had me nervous for a minute. I thought you meant it.” “I do mean it,” said Allaire firmly. “Listen,” he said feebly, “you can't do that. Why, it’s out of the question. In the first place, it would be a deadly place for you and in the second, there’s really nothing you can do.” “I can help Terry, that’s what I jean do.” | “Help him?” said Corrigan, star- ling. Allaire smiled at his astonished countenance. “Oh, 1 don’t mean giving him ad- vice on engineering problems, but to be with him, show him that I have confidence in him, form a nice loud cheering section of one.” She nodded slowly. “It’s my place @ bad one, that’s all in the cards.” Corrigan looked at her a long time. Perhaps he was thinking of little Anne Harlow back in the States whose lashes were so long they got in the way when he kissed her. “You're all right,” he said fer- vently. “But, Allaire, I couldn’t do it You know, you have to be, around—” “I'll take Rosa with me. If every- thing goes all right, we'll be back down here before anything impor-! tant happens. Maybe we'll float down or wreckage or ride in milk-' white chariots through flower- decked streets of Propionoire, but one or the other will all be settled before I take the center of the stage and speak my piece.” Corrigan was still doubtful.

Ed. Woodson will referee and Bill Cates will umpire.
