CHAPTER THREE

Betty Mary often promised herself, she would throw a riproaring celebration; she had kind of hoped it could be done here in El Paso. “But it doesn’t matter,” she assured herself, “because I don't know anybody here except Hope Kildare and Sheridan Starr.” She came out and stooped to bury her face again in the flowers Mr. Starr had sent that night. They had been waiting when she came back to her room. “May I take you to dinner on Saturday?” the note with them had said. She hadn't answered, but she knew she would say yes. Too much of glamour and interest was already attached to him, to both the young Border Patrol inspectors on whom she had paid an official call. “I think it would be unfair to recommend that they be dis charged,” she was confiding presently, in a letter to her girl friend back Rast. “I think this Luis Barro has just been lucky. He has just been slipping by two good men. I was sent out because, as you know, Washington wanted an inside report by somebody who could Shenk Spanish and knew about rder conditions.

» = » AZATLAN is a highly picturesque little city in the Mexican state of Sinaloa, which is lapped by the Pacific Ocean. Many boats stop there, and strange are the people who may be seen on them. Sometimes a few of the people disembark. Two weeks before Betty Mary | started West, 20 men and nine women, all of very definite Asiatic ancestry and all speaking some dialect of the Asiatic languages, arrived in Mazatlan, disembarking from a passing vessel at night. They had not been sure of their welcome, but they met with no difficulty. In fact their spokesman! who was an excellent linguist! was elated at the ease with which Mazatlan “absorbed” these trav-. elers. “But it is not here that we necd expect trouble.” he informed them soon after their arrival. “We will have to be more careful, however, when we cross into the next land.” “That will be America?” a Chi-| nese asked him. | “The United States, no less” he! nodded. “But patience. It will nct ~ be easy, as here. Unless we are T= fortunate in the assistance we hire. If the right people are approached, in the right way—" The spokesman shrugged, suggesting that he knew the routine. He also made it clear too that the next move would be costly. “It will be best.” he explained, “to hire for you the most influential intermediary we can.” “We have already paid you the money.” the Asiatic answered. “In America we have friends.” There was a deal of further conversation. “Three hundred American
