CHAPTER NINETEEN

T was not difficult for Betty Mary | to win the confidence of a young woman inside Luis Barros ranch home. Her .22 cartridge again was) entree enough. | She soon discovered also that there were armed guards posted dis- | crectly around the buildings. Betty Mary also deduced easily | that the surprising number of peo- | . ple present were mostly aliens wait- | _ ing to be slipped over the line at) night. Barro was using his ranch |

the servants probably thought she! - was a highly favored spotter or other worker for their chief, and so were anxious to please her. : “Will be more than 100, senorita,” one young Mexican woman told her, after tactful probing. _ “They will be taken over at the - New Channel Crossing, as you know, while the decoys are being sent over a mile upstream. Is it not clever?” | “Indeed it is!” answered Betty Mary. “Luis has given it detailed ! thought.” & = | HE New Channel Crossing!| Doubtless Hope and Sherry! would know where it was even if she didn't. And Barro would have a decoy crossing a mile upstream! Now, if she could just worm one more essential crumb of informa-| tion— “Friday will be a good night for the crossing,” she ventured. “Maybe there will even be rain.” “But is not Friday, is Sunday!” the Mexican girl declared. “Oh! Then he did change it. Well, I haven't had a chance to] talk with him in private yet, you see. And that’s one of the things I wanted to know for sure. You see I—1 have to be ready on the other| side. You understand?” | “Seguro si, senorita. You are perhaps the one who arrange the cars to take them away after they cross, eh? It is important, too.”

“I didn’t get a good look at him, Sarge, but I think he was a practical joker!”

She felt that he would make violent love to her when | the time came, and it might be soon| now that she was visiting him. But! her one important mission now was| to get back to El Paso with her information as soon as possible. Luis Barro did not come to visit! with her, as promised, for more than two hours. All at once, it seemed, he, arrived. He was ultraformal and] there was a significant new gleam in his eyes. “The senorita has been kept] waiting,” he lamented. “But then”| —shrugging characteristically—is| no hurry now, since is to remain | long time with us, eh?” “Oh, but I really must go, Don| Yuis.” she was using her gabby! tourist mannerisms again. “I did| so want to sketch vou in your home| setting, but I can see you are very | busy this week.” | “Is no hurry, no hurry at all! senorita. Is best you rest right here. So you can travel well, when the time come!” | Travel? Betty Mary looked carefully at him, trying to retain her pose and her poise.

He might even have to walk. quien sabe?” “You see, senorita,” he purred now, “I am make verv suspicious, when so many of my plans fail all at once.” He half rose from his chair at that and Betty Mary jumped to her feet, hand to her mouth in a quick frenzy of fear. “But —you—" she herent, watching him. “In your purse, my pretty one, was the rifie shell, the 22 which have been used by my friends. I find him myself, while you wait here for me. Now what you think, eh?” She eould only stare at him wildly. “Sit down, sit down and rest. senorita! Maybe so Sunday night! late we travel much, eh? Maybe we even go to ocean and take the long] boat trip. The vacation. You like, Luis Barro. You dance with him: make the pretty talk; make the pretty picture—YAH!” | “Take her to—to the kitchens. the laundry, anywhere so she can! work.” “No! Let me go! Theres a, mistake, IT tell you!
