CHAPTER
1r|AN

Alan was struggling back from coma.
He muttered. he talked, he awoke.
Lieber found his sunken eyes. the pu-
pills appearing almost concave, fixed
on him with u seeing gaze. 1t was like
resurrection. A spirit had come down
upon the body. Eye to eye. mouth to
sight, breath, life.
The eyes closed. Lieber hurried
away. From the kitchen he brought
a bowl of broth. 1t was steaming and
filled the room with an odor of rich
essence. 1t was in itself a concentra-
ton Of life. The bowl was emptied.
Alan sank back into the pillows. His
eyes wandered wistfully over the bare
walls. the high tiling of the strange
room. "I would have, great gods! but
one short hour OF native air-let me
but die Mt home,'" he murmured. and
Lieber heard.
The words ciutched at his own heart,
but he answered cheerfuliy, "You shall.
my boy, you shall die at home IL you
like. but you're going to have years to
think 1t over. Sleep. that's the word.
And sleep 1t Is" he added to himself
as Alan's eyes closed and his chest be-
gan to rise and fall in healthy breath
ing. Lieber held his wrist. The pulse
was taking on strength.
Alan was still sleeping when Gerry
arrived. Lieber looked up, surprised.
you've come all the way back from
Fazenda Flores?"
Gerry nodded. How is he? Has
he come to. yet?"
YES" said Lieber in a low. modu-
lated tone. HE came to. all right. But
the fights not over yet. Fever goes
and comes. you know. II another par
oxysm seizes him, he'll not have the
strength to pull through. It's a ques-
ton of hours now"

syringe and a graduated glass. In the
glass he dissolved a powder and with
steady hands added measured drops
of liquid of faint amber hue.
Gerry found his tongue. what is
it?" he asked.
"Quinine and arsenic" said Lieber
shortly.
arsenic? Isn't that dangerous? p
said Gerry.
Lieber glanced at him. "It will prob
ably kill him."
''Then why-why-" protested Ger
ry. A great desire to protect what
was left OF Alan had come over him.
"Why?" said Lieber dryly, "I'll tell
you. Mr.. Lansing. Because 1t is less
cowardly to kill a man than to let
him die"
and then, grasping Alan's arm, he
pressed it until the veins came out in
swelling network. Hold his arm like
that" he commanded Kemp. Kemp
clutched the arm. The bones seemed
to bend to the grip. Lieber chose a
swollen vein and pierced 1t with the
needle. He forced the dose into the
blood. There" he said with a smile
to Gerry, that's what's known as an
fntravenous administration of quinine
and arsenic. II another paroxysm
hits him he's done for, but Wen know
all about that in forty-eight hours
time"
He went into the house and brought
out clean sheets, soft woolen blankets,
pillows and pillow-slIps. Kemp had
never seen such linen; Gerry had al
most forgotten the feel of it. Gerry
came to life. With one hand under
Alan's shoulder and another under his
hips, he lifted him us though he were
an empty shell, while Kemp and Lie
ber drew out the dust-caked blankets
and hammock and spread first cane
mat over the settle and then blanket
and, on top Of that, sheet. The touch
of Alan's dry, cracking skin seemed
to Gerry to be burning his hands. "It
is as though there were fire in him."
he said to Lieber.

Margarita's and, on the lowest peg of
all, the Lilliputian garments of the
Man. The floor was bare and rolling,
for the boards, roughhewn from hard
wood giants of the forest, had warped
steadily through many years. In its
center stood the great rustic bed that
Gerry had made from the twisted
limbs of trees and Bonifacio had plait-
ed with thongs. By raising himself
to the full length Of his arm Gerry
could see Margarita lying uncovered
on the coarse, yellowish homespun.
On her bare, brown arm lay the black
head of her son.
Gerry shuddered at the nearness-
the familiarity-of everything. The
seams Of elementary life stood out bru-
tally. For the first time he saw them.
From the touch of the coarse homespun
that covered him. his mind went back
to the feel of Lieber's fine linen, and
from that 1t poised on Alan and then
flew back to AliN-Alix, who. seen
through the years, became doubly ethe-

What had Alan done with her? He
must ask him. That, at least, he must
know. But before he could ask he
must decide about Margarita and steel
himself to his purpose. He thought of
the long, still days at FaZenda Flores
before Alan had come to Lieber's-the
struggle and the reward that had been
his-and the frmness in him. the
steadfastness that had led Alan to

Gerry was up early. AS he was
saddling True Blue Margarita came on
to the veranda. "Where art thou go
ing?" she asked.
Gerry looked up. He was a
little pale from the wakeful night
and there were slight shadows under
his eyes. II am going to Lieber's.
There is sick man there-he is dying
and must help. He Is my fellow
countryman."
Margarita's eyes searched his face.
Her bosom rose and fell rapidly. DO
not CO." she said. and Gerry started at
the passion in her voice.
He looked at her and smiled. II

said, half to himself

1t teacher in public school is county
officer, residence of 2 years, in that county,

Does the Macon Board enforce that law?
If not, tell me aChy, Bro. Miller
The self-evident truth is, that teacher
does not hold an office or trust, of the public
kind mentioned in the Constitution.
Public-school teachers are en1pzoyees, paid
by the State, just like door-keepers, clerks,
messengers, pages, &C., employed around the
State House.
Public-school teachers are not required 10
take an oath, or give bond; nor do they
hold the States commissions.
The employees Of the Public Printer are
not officers, either of the State or County.

If he could not employ printers, pressmen,
and binders, until after they had lived in

M. l.. Britain, Superintendent
Atlanta.

January %, 1914.
Dear Sir: Your letter referring to some of the
difficulties in our school work and suggesting
remedies has been read with interest
| think you are exactly right in the statement
that the lack Of clothes and the sensitive fear of
ridicule on the part of many parents and children
on this account have always been of serious
ment in our educational work. There might be
some help in what you suggest with regard to
uniforms. I do not, myself, however, believe that
it will remedy the difficulty. The very people
who are now being kept out Of school for the
son mentioned would find difficulty in procuring
the uniforms matter how economically lis
could be secured Then too, there would be the
difficulty in getting the people of the state to
cept any enforced legislation to dress.
AM NOT IN FAVOR OF FREE TEXT BOOKS
under the present circumstances FOR OUR GEOR-
GlA SCHOOLS. In the first place too far
behind with the prompt payment of our teachers,
and the second, the state is not now in position
to undergo this great outlay that would be required
for this work. II we were able, should say yes,
gladly, because believe that it would be the
greatest help that we could possibly have toward
public education in Georgia.
Truly yours

that there is bound to be another advance in all

and arrange to get some pulp at an advance
of $4,000 per ton. Many of the mills using

not sufficient to cover COST if they forced to

matter of impossibility to get a mill who has not
