' THIS HAS HAPPENED: Lincoln Nunnally, elderly chemist, meets Vilak, in Porto Verde, in west icentral Brazil. Vilak is an old friend. Vilak‘s cousin, Elise Marberry, owns a coffee plantation and has been warnâ€" ed to leave the country.

She looked lback at the black hole through which lthey had just come. *"Weil, we got ’through there without any trouble, after all," she said. "Your ears are playing tricks with you, aren‘t they, Vilak? You‘ve been smoking too many of those Chinese cigarets., It‘s a wonâ€" der to me that your nerves haven‘t completely gone to pieces. I‘d hear a great many things that didn‘t exist if I smoked even two of them." _ The old man and the girl move obediently down the path. Vilak crept into the brush and waiteu, listening inâ€" tently. But he heard nothing. After a few moments he stepped out and reâ€" joined the others. "I was certain something was there," he remarked. "It‘s quite possible my ears tricked me out here in the jungle where there are so many noises. Don‘t often do it, though." T They proceeded in single file a few hundred feet. Vilak again haited. "I‘m fairly certain now we‘re being followed," he whispered. "You and Elise walk ahead and talk to each other as loudly as you like. The louder the better. Keep taiking. Have your pistol ready, Nanny, but don‘t shoot unless I tell vou." He drew a breath of relief, then exâ€" tinguished the light, "It‘s all right. I thought it might be something else. But if you value your life keep on that glove. Let‘s start walking again." under its brilliant rays examined the tiny wound. _ For the first time the old man saw his friend lose his coolness.

From the top of the embankâ€" ment they could look down and see the laborers still at work pitching their camp, their black shadowy forms flitâ€" ting about spectrally in the ruddy light of the torches and the fire. } They were close enough to the cn-|‘ campment to be clearly seen by those below; the handsome, white-lineneu‘i chief with whom Vilak had spoken sevâ€" | eral hours eariier walked over to gaze| up the embankment and ascertain the | identity of his visitors.
