From his loins back ne was paralyzed.
With last desperate effort he
straddled his forelegs, but he could not
brace himself against the backward
sag Of dead weight. Gerry felt him
sinking beneath him and suddenly
found himself standing over his pros
trate horse. OF True Blue, his forefeet
outstretched, his head and breast still
held high, there was left only a great
spirit chained to a fallen and dying
body.
A cry escaped Gerry's lips-a cry OF
horror at what he had done. Then
he remembered why he had done 1t
and ran not for the sluice-gate but for
the bridge. As he reached it the roar
became deafening. There was a splin-
tering, cracking sound that, meas
ured by the great commotion. seemed
like the tinkle Of tiny bell. But there
was something in the sound that called
to his brain. He cast glance over his
shoulder. The monster beams Of his
sluice-gate, hurled. splintered, into the
air. were still hanging against the blue
sky. Under them surged an angry
white wall of racing water. Even as
he started to run down the long slope
to the house Gerry thought with a
great relief that If the gate had been
closed 1t would have gone even SO. like
matchwood.
Below him Fazenda Flores lay peace
full, still, under the blazing sun. The
cotton was little wilted but high and
strong, the cane stunted but alive.
Only In the pasture bottoms the stock
had gathered in frightened clumps.
Their instinct had told them that dan
ger lowered near. Suddenly from the
quiet house burst Margarita, carrying
her son on one arm. She had seen
Gerry from window. While the 9th
ers watched the rising river, and now
this terrifying torrent bursting down
upon them from above. she had slipped
out to run to him.
The house at Fazenda Flores stood
on domed mound. Behind the mound
was slight hollow before the steady
rise to the bridge began. Gerry caught
sight of Margarita as she ran down
towards this hollow. Terrified, he cast
glance at the descending flood and
his eye measured its pace against hers.
go back!' he shouted with all the
strength Of his lungs, and waved his
arms. 1t was as though he had not
spoken. Through the din and roar of
the flood the sound of the words scarce
ly reached his own ears.
At the very bottom Of the hollow
Margarita felt that she was stepping

MERELY A LITTLE MATTER
Sporting Mans Remark Something Of
a Reflection on High Prices Of
Canfieid's Restaurant.

Cantield's restaurant adjoining the
famous gambling house in Saratoga,
had in its prime the reputation of be-
ing the highest-prced restaurant in
the world. Its patrons included
sporting men and gamblers. If they
won they could afford to pay the
prices; If they lost, there were other
eatinghouses.

biggest losses of its history.

abandoned plantation and life to the
neighboring stock.
Alan cast a curious glance at Gerry.
Dangerous business" he said, Stool

country"
Lieber nodded and went on. He
told his tale well. He had seen more
than Gerry could have put into words.
Gerry listened for a while, but he soon
wearied. What had all that to do with
him now? He wandered OF and start
ed to saddle True Blue. He must get
away from Alan. Alan was drawing
him, but he was bound in chains. He
must remember that. Then, too, what
Alan had said about fooling with the
normal level worried him. He must
go back and station a guard at the
great sluice gate.
A sudden pun Of air, then q breeze.
then a gale. swept down on Lieber's
from the southwest. The wind was
hot, furnace blast from the torrid
wilderness. 1t carried with 1t whirls
Of dust, light, dry sticks, and. finally,
small pebbles that hurtled along the
ground. Gerry and his horse sought
shelter by the house. Herders came
running out from their quarters and
gathered in front OF the veranda. The
wind suddenly turned cold. dropped
and ceased. The dust settled. The
sun biazed as before. There was not
cloud in the sky. The herders all
looked at Lieber. They did not talk.
They were waiting.
Lieber shrugged his shoulders.
Somewhere" he said with wave OF
his hand to the southwest, there has
been rain and hail and that sort of
thing. Temperature fell and drove
the hot air Off the desert" He told
the men. but they did not go away.
They stood around, their eyes sweep
ing the horizon to the southwest. AT
last one of them grunted. His eyes

from his eyes, he spoke. Its man,
riding. Looks like he's riding for life.
Something is up. He's riding to kill
his horse"
As the man approached, q dull rum
bling filled the ears of the watchers.
So gradual was its crescendo that they
did not notice 1t. The rider spurred
and beat his horse to a final effort
They could see he was shouting. he
drew nearer, and they heard him.

away on the horizon rose a white. ad-
vancing mist. The rider rolled Off his
staggering horse. THE food" he
gasped. Never before has there been
such a food"
Before the words were out Of his
mouth there was frenzied rattle OF
hoofs and Gerry on True Blue tore
Off at mad gallop down the trail
towards Fazenda Flores. Almost at
his heels followed the first mounted
Of the herders, riding all they knew to

Lieber's eyes followed Gerry's flight.

hour-perhaps less. We're just safe
here. and that's all. You see Mr.. Ian
sing? He's the spot farthest down the
trail. I'm thinking we'll never see
him again."
A faint flush came Into Aian's
cheeks. 1t was flush Of pride-pride
in Gerry. Gerry had not hesitated.
He had not ridden Off like laggard.
Even now they could see that he was
riding for life-riding with all his

staggered he put spurs to him and laid

Gerry sat down in a chair beside the

head fell forward on his chest. Sleep
came to him and then great trouble
came to his sleep. He reused himself

Fall Activities That Should Be
Carried On Now
TAKING up THE PLANTS
What to Do With Vegetables
Tomatoes, Carrots and
Other Things
Especial to The Free Press.1

From Tuesdays Daily
Washington, D. c., November T.
Aside from cleaning up the garden
there are other fall activities that
the home gardener should carry on
both before and after the advent OF
frost. Important among these is the
storage of root crops. No care need
be taken of satisfy, or oyster plant
and parsnips, as they are best left
in the ground to be gathered as need
ed. Celery, also, may be left out OF
doors. 1t should be banked high with
earth and the tops covered with
straw. Spinach may be left out OF
doors, and this also should be COW
cred with straw.
Carrots and beets, however, should
be taken up after the first frost and
stored in a frost proof cellar. If the
only available cellar has, a furnace
in it, the roots should be stored ii
possible in a portion of the under
ground room which is partitioned of
and provided with a window. This
should be kept open except in un-
usually cold weather. If the cellar
is normally damp, the beets and car
rots may be spread out like potatoes.
In dry cellars, however, it is best
to pack the roots in sand, which may
be kept slightly moist.
When there is danger of severe
frost, the fully grown but green to-
matoes still on the vines and those
,;n oh n
and placed in row on the ground
or lawn, and covered with straw or
leaves. This covering should be re-
moved while the sun is shining if the
temperature is not too low. 1t should
be replaced again each night and
kept on during inclement weather.
Under such treatment the fruits will
gradually ripen.
Work After Frost.
After frost, but before freezing sets
in, cabbage, cauliflower, and Brussels
sprouts should be removed from the
garden. The cabbage heads should
be cut and either stored uncovered
in the cellar or placed on grass out
of doors and covered with straw.
Caulifiower and Brussels sprouts
plants may be lifted and set closely
in boxes of soil in the cellar being
preserved in this way for many
weeks.
Preparation for winter should not
begin for the strawberry bed until
after the ground has frozen hard.
The plants should then be covered
over with straw, manure rich in
straw, pine needles and small boughs
or tree leaves. Leaves are less de-
sirable than the other mulching ma
terials since they pack very closely.
Those portions of the garden not
occupied by perennial or winter crops
should be spaded or plowed and left
rough during the winter. The heav-
Ter the soil of the garden, the more
advantageous will such treatment
prove.
