tumbled his stiffening limbs and with
q quick shake Of his broad shoulders
strobe across the lawn. There was
patter of women's feet. Glenn burst
out OF the house, caught both OF Alan's
hands and shook them. Her lips opened
but she said nothing. Her eyes and
her heart were full Of welcome. Alan
felt them speaking for her. Then came
Mrs. ]. Y. and J. Y. and Nance, the
mother Of four. There arose babel
OF hearty greetings, but through them
all could be heard the rumble OF the
echolike believing.
''Sshv' said Alan, holding up his

Glen laughed. tits the captain"
she said. Listen"
In the silence the rumbling became

Nance, junior. Hes begun to swear

Alan hurried into the house and up
to the captains room. The grown-ups
followed but stopped below and wait

the chauffeur to the barn.

The peripatetic, pathogenic agent OF
malarial fever possesses the prime at
tribute Of a bad penny--it comes back.
Alan had often fatted himself to re-
ceive the prodigal, and he was not now
at loss to account for the sudden
lassitude, the deadened palate and the
truant sense of smell that had come
upon him. He turned to Mrs. ]. 7.
"Tm afraid I'll have to lie down. I
hate to be nuisance, but I've got a
touch Of fever" To the initiated "a
touch Of fever" means anything from
"a slight tndisposition to a knockout
blow delivered below the belt. It Is
the sole phrase OF confession recog-
nized by the malarial cult. Happily
for Alan, the expression on this occa-
sion was no euphemism. He was suf-
fering from touch Of fever, and MOTH
ing more, brought on by too continued
exertion. He was shown to his room.
his old room with its old-fashioned,
many-paned windows, its enormous
closet and, under recent coatings OF
white enamel paint, the many marks
with which in b0yhood he and his for
bears had branded the ancient wood
work.
A fiutter and then a sigh OF disap-
pointment went through Maple House
at Alan's immediate eclipse. The
children foresaw an order for silence
or veto on the afternoons excursion

The captain subsidized. Zone for
Alan" he grunted.
The drinks came. Alan welcomed
his. He was tired and faint after the
long journey. The captain gazed on
his own glass defantly but ordered the
maid to set it on the table at his side.
Alan waited long for him to take 1t
up, and then he saw that the captain
had fallen asleep. Alan slipped his
drink. The captain was right, it was
favorless. But Alan remembered that
he had thrown away his last cigarette
for the same reason. He sighed.
In spite of the judge. Alix was feel
ing very lonely, abandoned, unloyed.
She sat on the little veranda at the
back OF the town house .and day
dreamed. Across her knee lay the
morning paper. A word caught her
eye. Elenic. half unconsciously she
read: among the arrivals by the
Elenic Hon. Percy Collinge-
ford"
Collingeford! She started to her feet
and then with what seemed percep-
tibIe click her mind repeated, "Elenic."
She sat down again. The hand that
held the paper was trembling. She sat
for a long time looking at her hand.
The telephone bell rang, but she did
not hear it. Old John came and stood
beside her.

A frightened CLEAN showed in Alix'
eyes. It passed and fame Of color
came into her pale cheeks. YES" she
said, 81 am at home. Tell him l will
see him at any time today"
Collingeford lost no time. When he
arrived Alix was still sitting on the
veranda. She received him there. He
came upon her with rush--like a
fresh breeze. "What luck!" he cried.

CHAPTER xxvII-continued.

Alan's eyes cleaned with amuse-
ment at the ripping words. Alix was
certainly we'll. Then suddenly she COL
lapsed in a chair. "Three years. she
Sasped. Her hands went up to hold
her head and she began to cry in q
way Alan had never heard a woman
cry before. The gasping sobs racked
his nerves. He felt as though the sobs
were tearing their way up from his
own breast. He gripped the arms of
the chair in which he sat. His body
telephoned to his brain that he was
going to faint and at such astounding
news Ten Percent Wayne woke up and
took charge. "Alixy' the word snapped
out like the crack Of a whip. "You
stop crying or I'll slap you, and when
I slap slap hard"
Alix choked, swallowed and looked
ct him, outraged and unbelieving.
Alan's eyes were blazing. "You listen
to me-" he commanded, listen to every
word say. You've gone through lot
in three years, but just fasten your
mind on to this: SO has Gerry. That
it colorless. It doesn't tell anything,
because Gerry isn't coward and be-
cause there are things he must tell
you face to face to get your answer
clear in his own mind. I'm making
you curious with every word. All right,
be curious. But you can be sure Of
one thing; if Gerry had wanted me
to tell you his story he'd have asked
me to, but he didn't. He didn't even
ask me not to. He was standing In
deep waters, but he had his head and
shoulders out. He wasn't asking for
my or anybody else's hand to help
him up the bank. He didn't ask me
not to NEEDLE because he knew was
man enough to see where he stood
without words. He trusted me-" Al
ans voice trailed or weakly. He
closed his eyes.
"But, Alan" said Alix. 81 must know
something. Is he well? Is he"
Alan held up his hand. "Just one
thing and then I'm going to sleep.
never thought the old Rock would ever
loom so big"
Alix watched him doze of. She felt
strangely comforted by the crumb he
had tossed her. She went back In her
mind to a dinner of long ago. when
she had defended Gerry's placid
weight against Alan. She sat on Tor
half an hour, busy with varying
thoughts. She looked curiousiy around
Alan's sitting room. How strange
that she should be here and yet how
natural. How safe she felt. She won
dered If it was all because OF the de-
lenses she had raised up in herself or
whether any woman would feel safe
with the new and weakened Alan. She
slipped out without waking him and
sent cable to Pe-nambuco. By night
she had an answer. Gerry had not yet
sailed!
Days passed. She went out only for
exercise. Her mind was busy with
wondering. The judge called regu-
larly. He had put of going to Ped
Hill. He wanted Alix to feel that
friend was at hand and. besides, he
had Alan on his hands. Alan was
worrying him in new way. Some
thing had gone out Of him. Sometimes
he seemed to the judge mere shell
a blown egg, robbed Of the seed of life.
The judge talked of him often to Alix,
but she corid not fastan her mind Oh

Here Alan has an opportunity
to spoil all Of Gerry and AIix'
future life by telling just little
about Margarita and the boy
back In South America. Men
and women frequently do such
things in mere human perversity.
Should he answer Alix truthful
Iy or should he lie like a gentle
man and save the day for Ger
ry?
