Gerry opened the wire gap. The
horses gave an anticipatory whirl and
then dashed through. They forgot
their weakness. They galloped down
the slope, spurning beneath their feet
the food they had longed for. They
did not stop till they reached the rich
b(oms. Lieber smiled affectionately
There's spirit for you," he said.
! The cattle followed but the men had
to beat the first through away from
the gap. They had stopped to eat and
had blocked the way. At last they
were all in and the gap closed. One
or two stood with straddled feet and
, continued to low, their lips just brush
ing the lush grass. "Poor BEASTS said
Lieber, the smile gone from his face,
they are too weak to eat"
He and Gerry went back to the
house for breakfast. The herders sat
and smoked. They had had coffee; it
would see them through half the day
Before Lieber left. the horses were
herded once more and with much trou-
BILE driven out upon the desert. Lie
ber turned to Gerry. Don't let them
back in until tomorrow. please" he
said. "If you do. they'll founder"
: what about the cattle?" asked Ger
~.
1.-The cattle are all right. They
haven't enough spirit left to kill them
selves eating They'll begin lying
down pretty soon. Good-by, and re-
member. you'll get warm welcome
up at Lieber's whenever you feel like
riding over"
Thanks" said Gerry. "Good-by."
He watched Lieber ride away on
the road the priest had taken. Fa-
xenda Flores, his isolated refuge, was
beginning to link itself to a world.

cling.
The reward of those long months of
preparation was at hand. Once every
spade thrust had seemed but the pre-
cursor to barren effort. Now every
stroke of the hoe seemed to bring forth
q fresh green leaf. Life fell into an
enhancing monotone. 1t became an
endless chain that forged Its own links
and heightened out into an endless
perspective. Days passed. The ar
rival of Lieber's foreman to see how
the stock was progressing was an
event. He brought with him an old
saddle and bridle-a gift from Lieber
to Gerry. "He says" the foreman re-
marked with a leer, on making the
presentation. "you can ride anything
you can catch"
Gerry felt the foreman needed put
ting in place. He went into the house
and reappeared carrying something in
his hat. He climbed the fence and
called. The horses raised their heads
and looked. Some were lazy after wa
tering but the others trotted over to-
ward him. They stopped few yards
OF and scrutinized him as though to
divine his Intentions. Then they ap-
preached cautiously, with tense legs,
ready to whirl and bolt. A greedy colt
refused to play the game Of fear to q
