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
1t out. On the third day nature, assist.
ed by his magnificent physique, finally
routed the attack.
He called the old woman. He asked

She led him to n little dark room

expanded he began to make out one
after another of the bags that had
made UP his travelling kit
"There is a letter." she said, and
went of to fetch 1t. 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 of the brittle
wax. The old woman came back with
the letter and handed 1t to him. He
tore 1t open. 1t was note from 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
unpackcd bags. He had turned out
all their contents. On the bed, the
floor. the table and the chairs was
piled such an array Of linen and shoes
and suits Of various cut and weight M
he had once deemed the minimum with
which man could deccntly travel
Now they seemed to him wastcful and
futile. The clothes did not carry his
mind back as he had expected. The
starch in the linen had gone yellow
He had always hated yellow collars.
The suits struck him as belonging to
someone else-all except one. One
sturdy suit Of tweed had n cut that
was different from the others. OF all
the clothes it alone seemed to have
a personal notc-thc note he had ex-
pected to find in the bags and had
shrunk from.
Then he remembered. This suit had
been made by his own tailor. He had
worn 1t during flying visit to Red
Hill. He had had 1t on the day he
left New York. He had worn 1t that
morning In Alix' room. Red Hill came
back to him, ak stood before him.
Through the suit he saw her room, the
shimmering blue Of her dressing gown,
her crown Of hair and her thin fingers
busy with 1t. He felt again the nip
Of the dear air as 1t had streamed In
through the open window.
The worst Of the food was over.
Gerry engaged search party. All day
long they sought for Margarita and her
child. Towards night they found them.
The Irish standard., 1916-03-25

these the tiled roofs of still other
houses just topped the food. The
houses were what was left Of Piran-
has.
From the shore canoes in search
of loot began to shoot out on the
quietening waters. One of them hap
pened upon Gerry's tree and then
upon Gerry. Gerry's eyes opened and
then closed again. He scarcely felt
the arms that lifted him. They car
ried him to the old inn. the miserable
little inn he had left behind on that
glorious morning Of so long ago.

only want to kill him."
"No," said Gerry, dazed, mot now"
"Mr. Lansing" said Lieber, "you get
out Of here. Well settle this bust
ness some other time"
Gerry's lip trembled. you're right,
Lieber," he said. you're right, only
you don't know it all. That chap in
there-we were boys together. He ran
away with my wife. That's why"
Gerry suddenly stopped. Alix had not
run away. She had jumped of the
train. Where was she, then? What
had she done through the years he
had been away? Why had she Jumped
of the train. He struck his hand to
his head and stumbled off the We
randa.
Lieber's anger died in him, but
he turned and went back to Alan.
Two hours later he came out again
to find Gerry crouched on the veranda.
The spirit had gone out of him, but
he turned on Lieber with determi.
nation in his tired eyes. "You told me
to get out and haven't. There are
things I've got to know. I'll wait"
II spoke in haste, Mr.. lansing" said
Lieber. II want you should forgive
me. You are all in, too. Come with
me-"
He led him into his own room, made
him lie down, and closed the shutters,
Gerry threw himself across the bed,
arms outstretched, face down. Lieber
slipped out and noiselessly shut the
door. Gerry lay exhausted. He could
not think any more. A great weight
lay on his brain. The ten minutes
doze in the chair at Alan's bedside had
not been rest, but nightmare. Pres.
emily he fell into sleep, a deep sleep
that was all unconsciousness.
It was almost night when he awoke
and with the awakening the weight
settled back on his brain, only now he
had the strength to think in spite of It,
He got up and went out in search Of
Lieber. Lieber heard him and came
out into the hall. Gerry nodded
towards Alan's room. ITS all right,
Mr.. Lansing. He must have a solid
mind. Your talk didn't excite him
didn't even disturb his sleep. He's on
the road up-weak, baby, but he's
started life again. He's asked for you
twice. Seems to have something he's
got to get of his chest to you. You'd

Gerry sat down once more beside
Alan. The questions he must ask
crowded to his lips. but he forced them
back. He tested his strength with res
0lutions and held them. 1t was his
way Of reassuring himself. He want
ed to feel his f1rmness rising in him to
meet the struggle he felt must come
when Alan spoke.
Alan knew he was there. He saw
him through half-closed eyes, but,
more than that, he felt him. His
brows puckered in frown. 1t was
still hard to use words. GERRY. last

she is physically fitted to properly
endow the child with grood brain
and body; and unless she is blessed
with the resources to rear and edu-
cate the child and give it fair
chance to make its way in the world
THAT is what birth contrv. knowl-
edge is for; to show women under
what conditions it is best for them to
bear children.
Birth control does not necessar-
lily make for either larger of smaller
families; it simply insures, thru the
mothers knowledge, a square deal
and fair chance for whatever child

an France birth control is sane
toned by the government.
"ln the United States it is blindly
condemned by laws; laws that are
lauded by certain influential and
prominent citizens who secrdtely prac-
tice birth control while publicly de-
nouncing it."

United States court here in January
for alleged indecent birth control
Propaganda statements in her mag

by such well known individuals as
Miss Fola L.Follette and others, ac-
companied Mrs. Sanger to court when
she went to plead to the Indictment;
then afterwards caused the case to
be given wide publicity.
The federal authorities dismissed
the case against Mrs. Sanger before
it came to trial.

Mrs. Sanger is on her way now to
Chicago, where she viii conduct meet

birth control and organize a society
of women to perpetuate birth con-

on to other places. Mrs. Sanger will
travel west to the coast cities and

Mrs. Sanger hopes, by stirring up
the interest of American wives and
mothers, to make their influence cause

prohibiting the dissemination Of birth
control information.
In cities where there are no restric-

to establish clinics, similar to birth
control clinics in European cities
where women of the working districts
can apply for instruction in birth
control. In addition to nurses who
can instruct in birth control, these
clinics will have staff that will
teach the care of infants.
Mrs. Sanger said before she de

America from learning and practicing
birth control. because" she added,

Here our staff is English.
The French nurses look so sweet
in their uniforms-soft white dresses
and caps, white shoes and stockings.
For out of doors they don full navy

Our uniforms are blue grey, very full
long tailed caps, and white aprons
with the red cross in front. We wear
n navy blue military cloak out of

and a navy hat with blue and white
ribbons and the red cross badge. On
the shoulder we have our numerals
and detachment in gold letters.
We are up at $50 every morning,
breakfast in the French fashion at
7 o'clock, on rolls and coffee, and
arc on duty by 7:3O. We have about
five minutes walk from the hospital.
