The Senorita Penny

by LINDEN GRIERSON
Author of "The Sunken Garden", etc. When illness prevented Harold Penny from making a journey to Santa Felice, a small island in the Caribbean, he sent his daughter, Eleanor, to deliver papers of great importance to the former head of government. Arrangements were made for John Graham, a British official, to contact her upon her arrival and assist her, but Don Manuel, the present ruler of the small community, had threatened to eliminate that young man if he ever dared return to the island.
In the company of Mario, a guide who attached himself to her against her wishes, and a young honeymoon couple, Eleanor waited in vain for John's arrival. But after many attempts had been made against her life, during one of the island's regular revolutions, she succeeded in delivering the papers with Mario's cheerful and invaluable help to the man they were intended for. And in so doing, she discovered her own great happiness.
