luced Jim. Shelby shook Jim’s
hand. He had a firm grip.
“So you two are engaged,” he
said. “That’s fine. But it’s a sur
prise to me. I can’t keep pace with
the younger generation’s love af
fairs.” He smiled broadly, but his
eyes were expressionless. “I thought
there was a romance between June
and Scott Agnew, but now Scott is |
playing around with Manuela—and
June is to marry you. It’s more con
fused than business is these days.”
June wag not listening. 'She was
watching the florid-faced amateur
magician. Shelby noticed that and
he drew Jim aside.
Lowering his voice, Shelby said,
“See here, Britten—I’m pleased
about your engagement 'to June.
Marry her as soon as you can, so
.she will get her mind off the -mess
(her stepfather’s in. .See what I
mean?”
’Not exactly, sir,” Jim told him.
“You know about her stepfather,
don’t you?”
“I’m afraid not.”
Shelby frowned. “Well, I’ll have
a talk with you . . He let his
voice trail away as Jupe glanced
toward him. A moment later, he
moved away -and joined Bert Quayle
who stood apart from the magician's
audience. Jim had the impression
that Quayle was watching him—or
June Vernon.
The audience was growing. The
man playing magician now stood on
a chair and was skimming cards
out over the heads of the audience
and making them return to his hand
like boomerangs. One of the white-
jacketed servants now came with
two napkins and a hammer, -and
the magician put aside his -deck of
cards. He wrapped one of t'he nap
kins about his head for a turban;
the other he spread out on the t-aOtjle
before him. He held the hammer
up to command silence, then began
speaking phony magician’s patter.
“.Now the great mystic, Sahib
Sam Benedict, will perform his most
amazing feat . . He grinned at his
audience, “It is the great watch
trick. Does any gentleman in the
crowd have a valuable watch — a
timepiece costing perhaps a thous
and dollars?”
There was laughter. And a man
called out: “Nobody would trust-,
you with a watch, Sam Benedict—
even if you didn’t -have that hammer
in youi’ hand. Everbody knows what
a rascal you are!”
The magician pretended to be of
fended. Then he -said, “Since there,
are no gentlemen present, is there
a lady in the au-dience who will
risk 'her vanity case? Any lovely
lady at -all . . .” He pointed with
the hammer. “What about the love
ly blonde in the flowered dress?”
He was pointing at June Vernon.
The girl laughed, but there was
a look in her eyes that made Jim
wonder. It was an .uneasy look. She
opened her little evening bag and
took out her compact. It was gold,
and square and flat. She held it out
to Sam Benedict. Jim Written could
n’t understand it, ibut some sixth
sense warned him that something
was happening here.
Jim stepped up to her, bent and
whispered in her ear, “What is all
■this, anyway?” But she merely
shook her head.
Going through ridiculous mo
tions, the magician wrapped t'he-
vanity case in the napkin on the
table. Then, muttering nonsense,
he raised the hammer an-d brought
it down with a crash. He unwrap
ped the napkin, an<i groaned. The
audience laughed. A vanity case lay
there shattered, and Sam Benedict’s
dismay seemed -almost genuine. He
was effusively apologetic to June
Vernon, and as he talked he picked
up -a 'glass from the table He hand
ed the glass to her.
“Drink this,” he instructed, “and
you’ll feel better about it.”
The vanity case, not a cocktail,
was in the 'glass. Sam Benedict was
pretty good, for an amateur. But
Jim Britten was still puzzled.
There was more imagic here than
met the eye.
Manuela appeared beside him.
She was smilinig, and she coaxing-
ly said, “Aren’t you going to dance
with me, Mr. Britten?”
“Certainly—if my fiance has no
objections.”
Manuela slipped her arm through
his. “She -has none. Besides, Scott
Agnew wants to talk to her about
a prowler who broke into the oil
refinery—and -Scott is her boss. She
won’t miss you.”
Jim danced with Manuela, and it
was exciting. Manuela herself gave
him a strange heady feeling like
too much wine. He was too much
aware of the igirl for comfort. Manu
ela’s dark eyes were provocative.
The story thus far: June Ver-[
non’s encounter with a prowler in
the offices of the Trans-Union Oil
Co. near Puerto Blanco leaves her
slightly unnerved but she still has
the problem of -Scott Asnew on her
hands. Scott, Whose affections have
recently turned from June to her
cousin, Manuela Shelby, is attend
ing a party at the Shelby estate on
Rendezvous Cay to which June is
also invited, and, June is determined

Britten, is wary—for reasons best

He is surprised -at June’s revulsion
toward the Cuban cigarettes he
smokes, and is strangely silent
when she explains that the prowler
at the plant that night left a burned
stub of the same brand on the
floor.
CHAPTER V
The music started again, and Jim
Britten turned to June Vernon to
ask if she would like to dance. -She
nodded absently in reply, for her
attention -had followed
Scott had -begun to
Manuela Shelby, and
had a bleak look. It

“All you need do,”
to wait a little while, Manuela will
break his heart, and then he’ll come
back to you.”
June gave him a chill look. “He’ll
not come back,” she said. “Once a
man strays, it’s the end—With me.”
“Then I’m wrong about you.”
“If you think I’m trying to win
Scott away from her—yes.”
“Pride?” -
“I know what I want in a man,”
she said.
Jim looked at her and wondered.
Across the patio, the man who
had ferried them in the cruiser to
Rendezvous Cay was pointing June
Vernon and him out to another
sman. There was not mistaking the
act.
Jim said, “Is your uncle a big
man with a granity jaw and iron-
gray •hair—and a bulldog
“That does describe
Shelby. Why?”
“Quayle is pointing us
3xi>>x.’’
“Quayle is probably tellin-g
I brought a man along,
everything to his boss.”
“Would that interest
“Perhaps. It depends
and what the man is.”
“Supposing 'he is your fiance?”
“That would be quite all right,”
June said.
They were dancing close to the
end of the patio, over by the or
chestra, so the other dancers kept
June from seeing Q-uayle and her
uncle. She said:
“Tell me, was there another man
with them? A short fat man with
a florid face?”
“A middle-aged fellow who looks
like everybody’s friend?” Jim
asked. He was* tall enough to be
able to see the table across the
patio. “A fellow who looks like the
traveling salesman in the movie?
Opens his mouth wide when he
laughs—and shows a -gold tooth?”
He had meant to be amusing,
but June was frowning sober.
“He’s the man I came
see.”
“I thought you came
prove to Scott Agnew that
a fiance.”
■She gave him a thin smile. “I
guess my motives are a bit con
fused,” she told him. Then: “I’m
afraid this isn’t much .fun for you.”
“Its all right,” Jim said. “After
all, twenty-five dollars is—twenty-
five dollars. This is an all right
way to make some easy money.”
He had no qualms about deceiving
her; he had long ago learned that
deceit was a .game tw;o could play.
When the orchestra ended the
waltz, June said that she would
have to pay her respects to their
• host. Jim walked with her across
the patio, and when they approached

the Minister stated: “It is certain
that unless feed grain supplies are

Manuela said, “So you are in love
with my cousin.”
“Naturally,” Jim lied.
“And you came all the way to
San Cristobal to marry her?”
“That’s anout right.”
“Your arrival must have been

Jim smiled at her. “A love af

was finding it easy to talk to Man
uela Shelby. .“Don’t you think so?”
Her eyes kindled-. “But, of
course!” she said.
They had -danced close to a gate
way in the patio wall, and Man
uela suddenly stopped dancing. She
said she was tired of dancing, that
she would, like to iget away from
the crowd for a little while and
walk in the gardens. There was an
invitation in her eyes, and Jim fol
lowed her through the gateway.

“If the company was right,” she
said, facing him. “Don’t you like

“Most men do like me,” she added.
Jim said, "Kissing you would be
fun, but I am an engaged man.”
“So?” The girl was angry as a
spoiled little girl. “Then I’d better
return you to your fiancee—.safe
and sound, and virtuous!”
They returned to the patio, and
Jim saw that most of the guests
were now inside the house. There
was an intermission, and the or
chestra was gone from it’s plat
form. June Vernon approached
them as they crossed the patio, and
Jim saw a bright excitement in her
eyes. He thought she might -be an

it was something else. The blonde
