1t was ten O'Clock on morning in
early autumn when Gerry finally got
free of the freighter and took the ferry
for the other side of the river. He had
left all his baggage to be delivered at
the house later. The morning was
clear but sultry. In the city the apathy
of summer days had settled down.
People glanced at GeTy's heavy
tweeds and Anticipated hat but they
did not smile, for Gerry himself was
such a sight as makes men forget
clothes. The tan of his lean face, the
swing of his big, unpadded shoulders,
his clear eyes, carried the thoughts Of
passers-by away from clothes and city
things They seemed to catch breath
of spicy winds from the worn garments
that chung to the strangers virile body
and in his eyes they saw mirage of
far-away places.
AS Gerry reached his own house,
he was outwardly calm, even DELHI

crate, but inwardly he was fighting
down a turmoil of emotions. What was
he to find in Alix? Had he anything to
give in exchange? Had he too much?
He climbed the steps slowly. His
hand trembled as he reached out to
raise the heavy bronze knocker. Be-
fore his fingers could seize it, the door
swung softly inward. Old John bowed
before him. For a moment Gerry
stood dazed The naturalness of that
open door, Of the old butler, of the cool
shadows In the old familiar hall, struck
straight at his heart with the shrewd
poignancy of simple things. Old John
raised a smiling face to greet him but
down one wrinkled cheek crawled a
surprised tear.
Gerry held out his hand. "How do
you do, John?"
al am very we'll today, SIR" said
John. Mrs. Gerry is in the library.
She told me to telephone to the club
and if you were there to say she
wished to see you"
Gerry was puzzled. Why saould Alix
think he would go to the club? He
handed the butler his old hat and
strobe to the library door. The door
was closed. Somebody said, Come
in" The words were so low he hardly
heard them. He opened the door,
stepped inside and closed it behind
him.
Alix, dressed in a filmy blue and
white housegown, stood in the middle
of the room. With one hand appraised,
the other outstretched, she seemed to
be poised, equally ready for advance
or flight. Her eyes passed swiftly
over Gerry's face, swept searching
down to his feet and back again to his
face. For weeks she had been wonder
ing. Terrible things had come to her
mind. Alan and Gerry with his heart
less note, had conspired to mystify, to
terrify her. All the joy she had looked
forward to In Gerry's homecoming
had turned into a bitter pain. They
had not known on the hill how she was
suffering. Only Kemp had seemed to
understand a little and had brought
his drop Of comfort to her.
AS her eyes searched Gerry the sense
Of impending calamity left her. He
was well, well as she had never seen
him before Except for that he seemed
almost weirdly familiar, as though
only a good nights sleep lay between
him and the morning of three year,
ago when he had bullied her until she
had fought back and overwhelmed
him.
A hundred little differences went to
make up this solitary change. The flush
of too many drinks had given way to a
deep healthy glow, the eyes were deep
and grave instead of deep and vacant,
the broad shoulders that had taken to
hanging were bracei in unconscious
strength. Every line In the body that
she had seen start on the road to gross
ness had been fined down. The body
was no longer a mere abode for lin
gering spirit 1t had become mocha
nism, tuned to expression in action. 1t
was not the body OF time-seryer.
Alan's sole word of comfort came back

rent of words that tried their best to
be harsh and failed. From around the
obstructing house came an old darby.
When his eyes fell on the Barbadian
he rushed forward. "Lor, Misteh NAL
colin, when did yo' get bacx?"
Just now, Charles" said tho Barba-
dian. whats the matter hereY
The darky's eyes rolled. "Mattah,
Misteh Malcolm? Why, that ole Cum
mel Stewart he's jes' so hatchery par
simonious that he requires me to pay
rent fo' havin' ma house on his lam +,
so says to ole nanny, We'll jes'
move this here residence on to gentle
mans Lam, and Misteh Malcolr men
nanny n the chile are jes' a-movin'
it on to yo' old cane fiep."
The Barbadian laughed a little dryly
and shrugged his shoulders. The driver
got down, protesting, and helped the
family carry the house across the road.
Then the cab went on and soon turned
up an avenue under fiery canopy of
acacia fiamboyante.
AS they progressed, thick, twining
growths, spangled with brilliant
blooms, walled in the avenue. The air
grew cool but heavy with scents and
the full-favored spice of tropical gar
den under a blazing sun.
The air made Gerry dreamy. He
woke with start when the Barbadian
said to the cabman, "This will do.
You needn't drive in. Wait here"
The cab stopped Just ahead was
the ruin of great gate. The two pill
entirely hidden by vines. To one of
them chung the rusted vestige Of a
gate. Beyond the pillars there was a
winding way. Once 1t had been a
road continuation Of the avenue, now
it was but tunnel through the dense
ly crowded foliage. Along the center
of the tunnel was narrow path.
Even it was overgrown. The Barba-
dian led Gerry down the path.
They came out under a grove of
mighty trees whose dense shade had
kept down the underground, and be-
yond the trees Gerry saw a vast, ir-
regular mound Of vines, with which
mingled giant geraniums, climbing
fuchsias, honeysuckle and rose. Then
he spied broad flight of marble steps;
at one end of them an old oss-grown
urn, at the other, it's fallen, broken
counterpart. Above the mound rose
the roof of a house; through the vines,
as the two drew nearer, appeared shut
tered windows and door, yelled with
creepers.
The Barbadian went up the steps
and tore the creepers away from the

an enormous key. With a rasp the
lock turned and the door opened, let

Gerry followed the Barbadian
through the hall to broad yeranda at
the back of the house. A large living
room faced on to the veranda. The
Barbadian entered 1t, opened the
French door-windows and, busting off
two lounge chairs. invited Gerry to sit
down.
Gerry looked around curiously. The
living room was comfortably fur

How Railroad Ownership of Water

day that the Norfolk & Western must

however, that the Chesapeake & Ohio,

il is to the advantage of commerce AMI

closed Saturday at $1.51A, started to-

also broke wildly.
General rushes to sell took place,
which increased by the increased
chances of a general railway strike i'll

Before the descent Of prices could
be checked, losses that reached to 8la
cents a bushel were shown for the
principal trading month, December,
which sold as low as $1.4512 as COM

In the late dealings, weakness again
became acute. Prices tumbled lower
