' Rioting and strife are-prevalent in the small African port to ten that bord* era.on huge oil fields. Jim Bradier, who is responsible for the greatness of the A.lianza Petroleum Corporation and who has been in America for sometime, returns to the oil fields. George K. Lentz, Seneral manager of the Alianza, visits • radier.at the Louis Sixto Cafe, where Bradier is drinking with Teresita, o Mane tug giil of the place, P' iTOW GO OiV WITH THE STORY ' Lentz keenly disapproved of Tere- «lta and the type of woman she typified. It was evident in his glance, though he could say nothing. t'l was under the impression we •were to meet at the office," said ISjbtilz to Bradier. f x,"I got my bellyful of offices- in New York. Sit down," answered >Bradier. --, "What luck brought you back?" iLentz spoke with forced. * strained affability in an attempt to conceal •his deep interest in Bradier's mission. "I hope it's luck. We had «j*bles* from New York, 'but they fieelect-ed to tell us why we were so fortunate." "There was nothing to" tell you.',' iJjradieV carne to the point. '•'Well, Ltentz. what's on your mind?" „ . .Lentz hesitated. "Well. .1--*--I .thought you might like to learn What happened around here since you went away." He stopped as Pradier downed a glass of Iraq, and then continued. "What with one Hbing and another, it's getting more [difficult all the time. There's a new bandit came up from the South 'that's giving the company a lot of trouble. His name is Rayon--he >calis himself a general--and as far '•A Alianza is concerned " Bradier interrupted rudely. "I mon't want to hear anything about {Alianza. I'm out of th^ company! j That's what I went to New York (tor. Lentz--to sell out my interest without speaking, leaned over playfully and powdered Bradier's nose With a fluffy powder piiff. He submitted, looking at her with amusement. "You know, you're the only one I've run into who hasn't burst a blood vessel trying to find out why, I came back," said Bradier. "That's because I know why you* came back," said the girl. "Why?" "I prayed for you to come back." Teresita pointed to the iipage of St. Mary. The candle burned steadily before it. "You see? I've had a candle burning ever since you left." Bradier laughed. "You monkey! You think I came back on account of you?" • " . » "A , man doesn't come half-way across tho world for nothing. Y*ou say it's not oil--it must be a woman --and I'm a woman." • i ; . • • "You're a fool!" : "AWiybe I'm ignorant--but I know about some things. People say to me: Teresita, make love with me-- forget Mr. Bradier--he never come., back. But I say he come back. See, I win. I've known a great many" men, but the first time I saw you I; say: Teresita, this is your man!" Bradier spoke sourly. "Don't be: sloppy.'* He stood up suddenly, causing the girl to fall to the floor abruptly. He' reached . into hispocket, as she looked up at him in;, surprise, took out a handful of money, crumpled it into a ball and handed it to Teresita. j "For what?" she asked gravely. I "Oh, buy yourself a milk bottle." She handed the .ball back to him. "Keep it for me until you come back." | "I'm not coming back." j "Oh, yes-^s long as the candle burhs." Bradier shoved the money back into his pocket irritably. Grabbing, his hat, he started out of the room.

Then your visit to the 4pll fields " "Personal," said Bradier bluntly. "Oh. Uh--how long do you expect to stay?" "Just long enough to get to the fields and back--and the sooner the better." "In that case I'm glad I ordered 'one of the company's planes for you." "Planes?" 1 "Yes. We bought a few after you left. We found them faster--and a&fer. Corew's been having a lot of trouble with this bandit Kayon-- but then you're not interested in that, are you? About Corew--I don't mean to question your judgment, of course, but I'm afraid he hasn't quite made ihe grade." Lentz watched Bradier's face closely for the reaction to this. "I don't like to discuss Corew for a reason you well know--you brought liim •out here and put him in charge or Ihe field. I've never been fooj enough to question your decisions in this Country, but I've been tempted to about Corew--he has certain draw- -tAcks." Bradier looked intently at Lentz. •"I'll tell you his drawbacks in three words--he's too honest! It's a dlaease with him. Outside of that he's the most highly trained and intelligent man you've got. But do a.9 you like about it. I'm out of the picture." "You'll nover be out of the picture. Not you. After all. whether you're with the company any more or not. they're your fields. We all Itnow that. You built them. Cimarron of the oil fields. That was my name for you. And you fcan't blame me for wondering just why you came back." iiradier prunted. "Does my presence worry you, so much?" "No, 110--why should it? It's '•nly that everybody--I mean, I'd like to do what I can to make your •tav comfortable as possible." •'Thanks. But. all I want is to get - to the fields as quickly as possible." Lentz started to leave. "The plane's in charge of a man named Kieleker. He'll get you up there in an hour." He paused In the doorway. "If there's anything you want to know--I keep regular office boors." ^ "Yltank you. I don't." Lentz walked out. A look of uniOHtg uised contempt came to Bratfii> r s eyes. .'•Lvntz--just another •limy efliciency expert," he growled. Tt'resi'.i, who had listened to the conversation between the two men Obeying a sudden cruel impulse a* he passed the image with its burnins candle, he pursed his lips and blew. The candle flickered,and apparently went out. He strode out. A quick spasm of rage came to Teresita's face--rage mingled with terror. Her face changed as quickly when the tiny wick suddenly bgrst into flame again. She smiled happily, and then walked to the lattice work and watched Bradier leavo •' the cafe. A half-hour later a plane flew from the town out over the vast expanse of desert. Jim Bradier was the passenger, piloted by Deleker. "Like this better than a came!,1 sir?" asked the pilot. "Well, Deleker, it's quicker. That's all I care about." The plane suddenly lurched as' several bullets tore through the, wing fabric. Deleker peered over the side and saw a grouo of horsemen with rifles aimed up at the plane. He swerved in a circle, then shot upward. Turning again, he flew over the group on the ground, then, pulling a lever, he released a bomb. A tower of sand rose into. the air. .The plane started on, its course again. . "Who are your friends?" asked Bradier. "They belong to a gentleman named Rayon. For some reason or (another he doesn't like Alianza. I'm sure glad you're b.ick, sir. You 11 stop it." 'I'll do nothing of the sort. Haven't I told you I'm not with the company any more?" The pilot's grin was an answer of. disbelief. The plane swooped down past huge oil derricks and' came to a perfect three-point landing. Bradier and Deleker got out.' A large group of men awaited them. After many introductions to the new men and reviving of memories with the old ones, Bradier was taken on a. t»ur of the field. Bradier stopped when he noticed the property was enclosed by barbed wire. "Barbed wire? What for?" he asked. • • ••Rayon " • Bradier grunted- Tbey continuetf their tour. * ' •' - , "The place looks fine. Corew has-= things humming all right," said. Bradier. They finished and returned to the main .hut. "Where's that horse I used to ride? Still around ?" "You bet," answered Deleker.' "And he's missed you like the rest; of,us have." "I wish you'd saddle him up for me. There's a little trip I've sot to make right away."
