That's all right" said Gerry, IL

He led the way and the pack-train
splashed along after him. The mules
were soon relieved of their burdens
and turned into the pasture Boni-
facio took the native muleteer away
TO his quarters and Gerry and the
stranger passed through the house to
the kitchen.
A patrlarchal hospitality came nat

that plantation but throughout a vast

He Had the Price.

Bill McCabe's Poughkeepsie team
was playing the Kingston team one
day years ago, in the Atlantic league,
and a guy named Fogarty was umpire.
In the ninth inning, with the score
tied, two of McCabe's men played out,
and as Bill had only one man extra,
he had to rush the bleacher seats to
find a man TO fill in. He drew a big
hick, who said he couldn't play. but for
the fun could fill in. There were two
out at the time and the fans were ex.
cited
Our hero, the hick, came to bat. He
drew three balls and the next one
across he picked over the left field
fence for homer. Instead Of running,
the fathead stood there while the
crowd howled itself mad. McCabe ran
out to him and yelled. "Ruh. you boob,
rum"
The hick turned and faced Bill and
In a slow voice drawled: mo. sir, l

The next day Kemp tried honestly
to help Gerry with the filling OF the
soil but the effort was still-bOrn. Kemp
had almost forgotten how TO walk and
his hlgh-heeled boots fell foul OF every
hummock. He wandered Off to the
house with solemn face. When Gerry
came In to the midday meal. he found
him with a saddle propped on the

swaddled heir to Fazenda Flores his

veranda steps but Kemp was not talk

At last the rains came to the valley
and Fazenda Flores. Gerry spent long
hours beside his sluicegate watching
for a rise in the river, but it did not
come. The torrent OF rain was local
and he remembered that Lieber had
told him that the 1oods-the great
floods-came from hundreds of miles
up the river and generally under
braZen sky. Night, black night, had
fallen with the rain and he was just
turning to seek shelter from the I'M
broken downpour when a voice raised
in song reached his ears. He waited.
The voice drew nearer. In n nasal
tone, which somehow sounded familiar
though 1t was unknown to him. it was
chanting long string of doggerel end
ing in an unvarying refrain. Finally
Gerry could make out the long-drawn
tail-end of the song: comm down the
drawn"
English! American! Cowboy mu-
sic! The impressions came in rapid
succession. Gerry strove to pierce
the darkness. He could hear the near
by splash Of careful mules. picking
their way through puddles with finick-
ing little steps. He felt a shadow in
the darkness and could just see above
1t a blur of yellow. Behind 1t, more
shadows. On an impulse he did not
stop to measure, he shouted in English,
"Hallo, therew
The doggerel was choked off in mid
flight. The yellow blur came to a sud
den stop and the nasal voice rang out
in quick staccato, Speak again,
stranger, and epeak quickv'
ats all right" Gerry laughed back.
"Where are you bound for?'
"I'm headed down the drawn lookln'
for a chalk line where l en- dry my
feet. What do you know"
"Can you see the water In the ditch

"Yasser, I can. en- see you, too"
"well," shouted back Gerry, "your
eyes beat mine. Follow the ditch I'M
til you come to a bridge. I'll meet you
there"
Gerry found the little cavalcade
waiting for him, six pack-mules, a ma
tive driver and, towering above them,
a great lanky figure in a yellow oil
skin slicker topped by broad
brlmmed Stetson. Gerry looked over
the outfit as carefully as the darkness
would allow and then said tentatively,

he speak again and then he said with
a CLINT in his eye that was almost a
smile, 81 guess them's the first orchids

Here was an opening but ii came
too late. Gerry did not try to follow

seemed to acquire a sudden new ease
Of body and mind. He hung by one
knee and a stirrup and leaned over
toward Gerry. stranger" he said.
I'm much obliged to ye. It's a long
way FIN the Alamo to Moo Yawk, but
the hull country's under one fence"
He waved his hand and was gone af-
ter his pack-train, lifting his mule with
his goose-necked spurs into a protest
ing canter. Two weeks after his pass
ing, as evening was settling on Fa-
zenda Flores, the echo of a mules
mincing steps on the bridge made Ger
~ look up from his work.
"Howdy," said Kemp and paused on
that to measure his welcome. He was
satisfied and urged his tired mule on
towards the house. Gerry walked be-
side him and learned that the ship
ment of orchids had just caught the
steamer at the coast. Kemp unsaddled
his mule and tossed the harness and
slicker upon the veranda. AS Gerry
was closing the gap into the pasture
Kemp came up and stood beside him.
He cast a knowing eye over the fat
stock. you done a good job for Lie
ber." he remarked.
Gerry nodded a little sadly. YES"
he said, the contracts filed. Lieber's
sending for the stock day after tomor-
row."
AS they sat on the veranda that
night smoking endless cigarettes,
Kemp turned to his host. "D'ye mind
II | stay over a day with you? Truth
Is, want to hep drive that stock up
to Lieber's. l want to hep whistle a
bunch steers along once more and
smell the dust an the leakin' udders,

yell or so, corralin' 'em at the other

Gerry nodded Understandings.
"why did you leave itT he ventured
and then regretted and murmured,
Never mind"
