E1HEl -

Alan Wayne had been away for a
year. He had not returned from Mont
real but had gone one from there to
work in South America and, later, to
Africa.
He had been In town for several
days when he met the judge one after
noon in November on the avenue.
Judge" he said without preamble.
whats this / hear about Gerry dis
appearing"
Its true" said the judge and add
ed grimly, "he disappeared the day you
went to Montreal"
Alan colored and his face turned
grave. 81 am sorry" he said. "I
didn't know it"
"Sorry for whatT' asked the judge,
but Alan refused the opening and the
Judge hardly regretted it. They were
not in tune and he felt 1t. His heart
was heavy over Alan for his own sake.
He had broken what the judge had
long reverenced as a charmed circle.
He had exiled himself from that which
should have been dearer to him than
his hearts desire. The judge won
dered II he realized 1t. You're not
going out to Red HIP" he asked, try
ing to make the question casual.
Alan glanced at him sharply. What
was the Judge after? NO" he said
after a pause, 81 shall not break the
communal coma of Red Hill for some
time. I'm of again. McDale & Nc
Dale have loaned me to Ellinson's. I've
become n sort Of poohbah on construc-
ton in Africa. They get a premium
for lending me-"
Alan's speech habitually drawled ex-
cept for an occasional retort that came
like the crack of a whip. The judge
looked him over curiously. Alan's
dress was almost too refined. His per-
son was us well cared for as a wom-
ans. Every detail about him was a
studied negation of work, utility, serv-
ice. The judge thought of Collinge-
ford's story and wondered.
They walked in silence for some
time and then Alan took his leave. The
Judge followed his erect figure with
solemn eyes. Alan had deteriorated.
One cannot be the fly in the amber Of
more than one woman's memory with
out clouding ones own soul, and
clouded soul has its peculiar circum-
ambiency which the clean can feel.
The judge felt 1t in Alan and WINGED.
II Alan did not go to the Hill. the
Hill. in certain measure, came TO Alan.
The next afternoon found the captain
once more established in his chair in
a window at the club with Alan be-
side him. The captain had not changed.
His hair was in the same state of
white insurgency, his eyes bulged in
the same old way, and he still puffed
when he talked. His garb was idend-
cal and awakened the usual interest
In the passing ganin.

and nephew had been face to face
since their memorable interview at
Maple House.
]. y. Wayne was aging. He had
lived hard and showed it, but there
was no weakness in his age and he
met Alan without compromise. He
nodded toward a chair but did not Of
fer his hand. When he spoke his voice
was low and modulated to the tone OF
business. II wanted to see you to
tell you that you have overpald your
account with me. The balance has
been put to your credit. You can see
the cashier about that. l want to tell
you. too, that l have made too much
money myself to admire surprising
capacity in that direction in anyone
else.
Don't think that don't appreciate
the significance Of your wiping out a
debt which you incurred unwittingly.
1 can see that you had to do 1t be-
cause a Wayne must carry his head
high in his own eyes. But" and here
J. Y.'s eyes left his nephew's express
sionless face and looked vaguely into
the shadows of the room. His voice
took a lower key. "With all your sac
rifice to pride you have failed in pride.
You have not been proud in the things
that count"
]. Y.'s voice fell still lower His
words hung and dropped in the silence
of the room like the far-away throb of
q great bell on n still night. "Yester-
day Glen was crying because you had
not come to the house. try to think,
Alan. that it's because Glen is there
that you have not come. II could
think that" J. Y.'s eyes came slowly
back to Alan's face. A dull red was
burning there. J. Y. went on. shame
is n precious thing to a man. Differ
ent creeds-different circumstance
carry us to various lengths. Ethics
are elastic today as never before but,
as long as shame holds bit of ground
in mans battlefield. he can win back
to any height"
For n long minute there was silence,
then on a common impulse they both
arose. Alan's eyes We're wide open
and moist. He held out his hand and

There is no stronger proof of mans
evolution than his, adaptability-his
power of attainment through the mate
rial Mt hand, however elementary.
From the very beginning, the necessi-
ties of his new life called to Gerry's
dormant instincts. For the first week
he would not hear. The past loosens
its tendrils slowly He was listless
and loafed restlessly about the house.
The two darkies worked for his we'll
being, the two white women waited on
him hand and foot. At first it was
lulling; then 1t was wearying. He be-
gan to wander from the house.
But the week had not been alto
gether lost. He had gathered desul-
tory but primitive Information. Occa-
sional re-occurrlng words began to be
more than mere sounds. The girls
name was Margarita. The wrinkled
little woman was her aunt, Dona
Maria. The two darkies were linger-
ing relics of slave days. They had
been born here. They had gone with
emancipation. but they had come
back. The name Of the plantation was
Fazenda Flores. To them 1t was the
world. They had wandered out of 1t
hand in hand with liberty but they had
come back because freedom was here.
They needed someone to serve. Mar
garita had long been an orphan. The
place was hers and had once been rich.
But before her day water had become
scarce. The place was uncared for
and had fallen into its present ruin.
1t was well, she said, for II she had
been rich suitors would have searched
her out long since. She was eighteen.
She had been woman for years!
These things, some of them distinct.
some only half-formed impressions, ran
in Gerry's head as he wandered over
the faZenda. 1t had once been rich,
why was 1t not rich now? Fertility
sprang to his view ON every side save

Sherman Boomers
Have Elephant on
Their Hands

Chicago, June S.-Managers Of the
Sherman presidential boom have an
elephant on their hands in Chin-Chin,
said to be the smallest paehyderm in
the world The midget elephant,
which is four and half feet high and
weighs $50 pounds, was brought to
Chicago by express from New York
for use as a mascot to head the Sher-
man outdoor parades.
1t has rained for three days and in
stead of outdoor professions the
Sherman crowd has confined its ef-
forts 10 demonstrations III hotel lob
bies.
The baby elephant wearing a blan-
ket with the inscription: "Sher-
mans g. 0. r., a United Party"
spent the night in the Sherman head
quarters on the second floor OF the
Congress hotel.
Manager Cores today ordered the
elephant out OF the building and until
some other plans could be made IT
was taken 20 the baggage room
