CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN | THE NIGHT flight to Windemere was endleas. If they needed that manuscript to convince them, 1 would she have It back in time? i What was Artigas doing now in ' that secret meeting room? Would her story hold water against the third degree barrage that would greet it? Artigas was a powerful backer, but how much weight did he hold with the party tn a showdown? Who was the man against the wall? Fitz was enjoying the drama of the incident light heartedly "Well, it looks like Uttle Boy Brooks might have to thank you for his career, Kitten," be chuckled. "He won't, though, after he gets a peen at himself written up in A novel I don't think he's the publicity type." "Why should he be?" Terry burst out Then, angry at her lack of control ■**« turned away to took out through the window at ths stars burning brightly in the great dome of southern sky. Her last flight to Windemere! They rode up the winding grave! road toward the house in an airport taxi. Fitz whistled cheerfly as they pulled up before the door. Some dog kennel!"

Maria met them at the door. She | smiled and bowed at Fitz "from ( Norte America," but there was a i passion of sorrow in her black eyra. ; Brooks had come home then. AL i most as if ahe read the question in Terry's face, she murmured: | "Senor Kimberly Is here. He Is < talking on the telephone in his , study." "We won’t disturb him. i*m just going up to my room for my brief case—” Fitz stopped her on the first stair step. “Why not throw your duds (n now so we won't have to come back.” "We can make that nest plane back if we go right now.” "t doubt it.” . “We’ll make It," Terry said determinedly. But as she started up the stairs again she paused.’ Brooks* votes on the phone had gradually penetrated. It was not sad, or resigned, it was excited—buoyant! On sudden Impulse she turned and ran down Hie stairs and crossed the hallway to his study. She flung open the dooc without knocking and stood chare lutefiingBrooks was standing by his desk.

phone In hand, eyes glowing. •That's fine! They did? Excellent work!” His eyes rested on Terry, lighted. He cafled. “Hello. Terry!" and held out Ms arm. Wondertngly, Terry walked across to him. He put his arm around her as he talked and pulled her to him in a quick exuberant hug. just as FU walked into the doorway. Brooks nodded to him and finished his telephrne conversation, Terry hanging on to every word. •They've found the leader?” she eried, searching his face. "Tea—thanks to you.” He swung around to her and took both her ■hands. For a minute she thought he would kiss her. But the story was flooding from Mm now. "The voice you heard Inside the meeting room was the personal bodyguard of Ds Valdero!" "De Valdero!" Terry echoed incredulously. "It seems they were ready to I vote on the nominee and Artigas i had to take a long chance. He or- > dered De Valdero and his bodyguard held!” I Fitz whistled. "The old boy had • nerve." • “And they talked?” Teny asked. •Tried to bluff it through at first

But fortunately the secret police turned up with some additional evidence they'd beer, holding. The whole racket's exposed. A powerful junket it was, with some rather rottm political plans.” Fltg columnist soul was expanding. -And they supported you because they thought they could handle you A young diffetante—" “Exactly,” Brooks agreed. "Then they found I was both stubborn and curious. So they planted the printing press to get rid of me and also to decoy Artigas from the real trail -which was getting hot." “Just bow I had It figured," Ftti beamed smugly. “Ob, you tfd!” Terry flashed earcastically.

Decatur Seabee And Sergeant Write Os Typhoon On Okinawti

The following are excerpts from letters written by James Ehingen EM 1-c. of the Sealw-es, and T-Bgt. Edward Anderson, during and following the typhoon which at ruck Okinawa on October «. Petty officer Ehinger, In a letter to his wife, the former Mbs Zuis Porter, states, "Os course no mall from you for a few days !»•■ cause of » »H«ht Interruption. Things started happening Tuesday evening and didn't quiet down until Thursday. The wind really started blowing Tuesday morning but It had already blown down our screen. Tuesday aR-rnoon about 2 o'clock we packed all our persona! gear and lashed down everything we could. I pnt almost everything in my cabinet and nailed It shut. Thank God I did ft will weigh 25 pounds empty, and full, of tny stuff It will go around KM [ pounds. I found It about SO f-t from wheie I left It. To K**’ back to my story, after we packed our stuff and retied and staked our tent we came over to the booth. By then the wind was so. strong that you could hardly walk To top II all off it was raining cats and dogs. W- stayed in the movie j booth until the wind got up to around »<• in p. h. and then took to the ok! Jap caves Roy. was that rough going. We stayed in them until almost dark and then almost crawled back Into camp for food. The wind blew me down and along for about 100 yards, twice. After we finally made It back to the cav» we tried to sleep. It was out of the wind, rain and dry All of us were soaking wet as the wind blew the water right through our foul weather gear. We stole some heavy winter cloth s and kept them dry and slept In them Boy, was that some night. Cold., hungry, worrying about our gear and laying on the cold hard ground made sleep almost impossible. To top it all off another thing that kept me awak» was rats running over us while we were laying there. The next morning at daylight wc tame back to camp and boy. what an awful night it was to see. Everything but the movs- booth and one or two other buildings were down Not one tent was up. My deck (floor to you) was blown across the road from where it was. Finally found my box and It was all wet and some of my clothes wore full of mud ” In another letter written October 14 he said “Boy. what a mad house this has been. Started this letter and found out they wouldn't I even take mail Io go out. The island I post office hlew down and have I b» u until now getting straighten-

Sherlock, and you did.” For another dizzy second, Terry felt he was about to take her into his arms. And then Fits' voice sounded behind her. "Maybe we’d better be Shoving along, Terry.” Brooks* gaze moved reluctantly up to Fitz. "But you’re both going inch with me, of course?” “Thanks." There was cold steel In Fits’ voice. "But our plane reservations to North America are from Rosario Bo we’ll take the plane directly there.” Brooks* eyes were on Terry's again, and he was making ho attempt to hide his warm protest "You're not going home now?” "No—no—lll never go home!” But the words were clenched tight in Terry's white-knuckM fists, while she waited for Fitz' answer. It came, tn a measured drawl “I hope you'll make our excuses to ' your mother. We decided to leave i tonight Thought once we'd stick - around a while, but I guess one's ■ own country's bettor for a honeymoon.” I "Honeymoon?” The quiet duh way Brooks said ths word twisted . through Terry's heart. After an . aching eternity he made a sound of

surprise and said, "Well, congratulations!” He shook Fitz* hand and turned back to take bers. "I wait you to be happy at* ways.” His voice was in that last courteous phrase just for her. Terry never knew how she said goedby, how she got up to her room and dug ths manuscript of her novel from beneath the clothes in her bureau drawer. Only when she was standing in the middle of her bedroom floor with the heavy books in her arms did she realize what she was doing. But they no longed needed the manuscript Brooks’ innocence had been proved without it All ahe needed to do now was pack to go back with Fits to New York—find publish her book. The book that would hurt Brooks aTfimf as much M the political scandal, because dhe had written it And because—she knew it now. with a warm, exultant certainty—he loved her. Ha wouldn't marry her because ha wasn't free, but it couldn't change the fact that he loved her. Ths manuscript still was in hoe Wms.

I start for home or we move to another camp, which will happen as there Isn't a thing left here. Boy. I iw ver want to go through another hurricane like that one. It Is really worse than a bombing. Am so tired right Dow that I am about u> drop. Haven't stopped for days on end and my nerves are getting the beat of me." In T-Sgt. Anderson's letter to his wife, written October I®, he said, "the wind atorm broke at 123 miles per hour. Moat of the ta-nts, mess hall and bakery were blown down. Our tent wae tied down and therefore was not destroyed but It leakcd like a sieve. We placed our personal belongings under the bed. and put a pancho over the bed. One of the boys was bit by a flying 2 by 4 and It was necessary to take 52 stltclw-s to close the wound. The power linos were also blown down, so 1 am writing this letter by candlelight. The wind quid’s down during the dsy, but in the evening it starts rising again. We have ae up a Held kitchen, and have enough water and K rations in our tent to last several days In a letter written October 13, Sgt. Anderson said they had startid to rebuild the buildings destroy- . d. and he would leave for home in 10 days.
