ard to hand them to him, looked
through them, picked out one and laid
the rest aside. The one he picked out
was Clems.
With her own peculiar wisdom Glenn
had written not about him or herself,
but about Red Hill. Alan read and
then dropped the letter to his lap. His
hands fell clepched at his sides. His
eyes, grown large, stared out down the
long vista Of the mind. Walls faded
away and the sounds Of great ship
at sea were suddenly dumb. To his
ears came instead the caroling Of birds
in evening song after rain, to his eyes
vision of Red Hill dripping light
from it's myriad leaves and to his
heart the protecting, broodlng shelter
Of Maple House-of home.
1t cleanses a mans soul to have been
at deaths door. Sickness, more than
love, leads man up. Alan was feel
ing cleansed-llke little child--so 1t
seemed a quite natural thing that the
girl who had taken charge Of him on
his arrival ON board should knock at
his door and then walk in. She drew
out a camp-stool and sat down beside
him.
She was very small and very young,
not In years but with what Alan
termed to himself acquired youth. Her
nearsighted eyes peered out through
big glasses. They seemed to see only
when they made special effort, and
yet they seemed to give out light.
You are better?" she asked. and
smiled.
Alan caught his breath at that smile.
Yes" he said. II am much better to-
day. l have had letter from home"
You must get up now and come
up on deck said the girl. "I'll walt
for you outside" Her voice had pc
culiar meditation. 1t attracted and
soothed the ear.
Alan frowned and then smiled. "All
right" he said, wait for me" He
dressed Iaboriously. His hands seemed
weighted.
On deck she had his chair ready for
him beside her own. She tucked his
rug about him and then sat down.
Don't talk ever, unless you want to-
she said. "Silent people are best"
why" asked Alan.
They are springs. Their souls
bubble"
And the people that chatterT asked
Alan.
They are geysers." said the GIRL
and smiled.
Alan was entertained - almost
amused. what do you do when

What do you dor replied the girl.
II run"
I'm afraid / haven't run--always,"
said Alan. Il generally try to clap a

"You must be strong to do that I'm
not very strong"
Alan glanced over her fraii body.

1t was with some misgivings that
Kemp left Alan al the coast. Alan was
still very weak. Kemp stood, more I'm.
congruous than ever. against the rail
OF the little coaster bound for Perna m
buco and eyed Alan, whom he had
made comfortable I'm a camp bed on
the deck.

said, that there mought be business

DON know nothin' about. I've got a

Alan smiled. II know what your
bunch is, Kemp, and it's a wrong one.
I'm all right. Weak, but I'll make 1t.
Don't worry"
Kemp was standing In angles. His
hands were thrust in his trousers peck
cts, but even so his elbows were
crooked. One foot was raised ON a
rail. He was coatless as usual. His
unbuttoned vest stuck out behind. His
Stetson hat was pulled well down over
bis eyes. His eyes had taken on the
far-away and slightly luminous look
that always came into them when he
was about to speak from the heart.
"Mr. Wayne" he said. 1--WE tor you

rich greaser in the Bible with his

Kemp paused and Alan nodded.

gangway.
At Pernambuco Alan found an &C
emulation OF mail awaiting him and
Z liner bound for home. The liner was
too big to set into the little harbor b.
hind the reef. She rode the swell a
mile out from shore.
Alan lost no time In making his
transfer. From the tender he was

he smiled ut himself In disgust Ten
Percent Wayne had often jumped for

A sharp attack of fever followed
Gerry's exposure and immersion. The
old woman Of the inn knew no medica-
ments, but she knew fever. She piled
blankets on Gerry and let him sweat
it out. On the third day nature, assist
ed by his magnificent physique, finally
routed the attack.
He called the old woman. He asked
her If she remembered him. She peered
at him. "No, master" she said, II do
not remember you. You are like the
foreigner who was drowned, but he
is dead"
Gerry shook his head. mot dead"
he said, only disappeared"
You are not he," said the old wom-
an. He could not talk words that
one could understand
Gerry nodded gravely. He felt as
though words could never make him
smile again. II have learned" he said.
"Now tell me what became Of the
things left here?" He went through
the list.
The old woman checked OF each
item and then shrugged her shoulders.
She led him to a little dark room
whose only light came from the inter-
sttces of the tiled roof. AS his pupils
expanded he began to make out one
after another Of the bags that had
made up his travelling kit.
There Is letter." she said, and
went off to fetch it. Gerry dragged
the bags out into the light. Their locks
were all sealed with the seal of the
American consulate at Pernambuco.
He started knocking off the brittle
wax. The old woman came back with
the letter and handed it to him. He
tore 1t open. 1t was a note from the
consul saying that by order Of Gerry's
wife his things had been sealed ana
left at the inn, telling him where to
find the keys The room, he learned
from the old woman. had been paid
for regularly, at first by the month,
then by the year. She felt no resent
ment at his return, only resignation.
you are the only guest I've had since
you went away" she said quantity and
with a sigh.
Fear nothing" said Gerry kindly.
You have been faithful. You may
consider the room engaged by me for
the next ten years"
He carried his bags into the room
overlooking the river and then lay
down. He was too tired after the fe-
yer to open them. He knew that the
opening of those dust-covered bags
with their rusted metal fittings was
going to be another ordeal.
The next day Gerry sat before his
unpacked bags. He had turned out
ali their contents. On the bed, the
soor. the table and the chairs was
piied such an array Of linen and shoes
and suits Of various cut and weight as
he had once deemed the minimum with
which a man could decently travel.
Now they seemed to him wasteful and
futile. The clothes did not carry his
ulnd back as he had expected. The
starch 10 the linen had gone yellow.
Ne had a,ways hated yellow collars
The suits struck him as belonging to
someone else-all except one. One
sturdy suit of tweed had cut that
was different from the others. OF all
rhe clothes it alone seemed to have
q personal note-the note he had ex-
psctei to fna in the bags and had

visitors are told by children who have
seen child welfare exhibits.
Mothers come to the realization that
they are not only rearing their own
babies, but perhaps future celebrities;
that their responsibility is great, and
that their child is valuable to the coun-
try. They realize, too, that the health
of the baby and its future well being
depends upon proper feeding, bathing
and clothing, No longer are the little
folks INDUCED with indigestible foods,
for sit isn't good for the baby says
the older child Miss Nurse at the
baby station says baby shouldn't eat
it; his milk should be cold and clean,
and his bed always should be put to
air in the daytime so he can sleep
without crying at night"
So, through the change in the atti-
tude of parents and the change in the
attitude of the community, baby week
for popular education. Its results will
last as long as there are mothers and
fathers and babies.
Authorities agree that if children
were well born and then well cared
for, the infant mortality rate would be
practically negligible.

life breast feeding appears to be the
