Alan sat in the circle OF light from

darkness. From the river came the
sound of sucking mud, then a heavy
tread. A monster hippo Numbered
through the bushes in search Of food.
On the other side of the tree trunk the
Zanzibar was snoring. The fires were
burning out at the mems camp. Once
more the odor Of their bodies hung in
the air.

Margarita came running up to them

smiled. She smiled back at him but
trouble was still in her eyes.
Gerry left her to start on the work
Of fitting the ponderous sluice-gate Of
hewn logs that he had prepared for
the mouth Of the great ditch. 1t was a
triumph of ingenuity. He never could
have evolved It without the aid of a
giant ironwood wormscrew taken from
the wreck of a cotton press. The screw
was so heavy that he and Bonifacio
could hardly carry it.
At the end of three days the great
gate was installed. He and Bonifacio
toiled like sailors at capstan. They
drove the heavy barrier down into the
sand with last turn of the screw and
shut out the river Margarita came
and saw and was pleased.

Haunting fire of the brave naples.
Maple House arose before him, its
lawn carpeted with dry leaves. From
the leaves foated an incense, dusty,
pungent. The cool shadows OF the
great, rambling house beckoned to
him. Here is peace, here is rest, they
seemed to cry, The memory of home

him. His head nodded and he slept
only to awake with a start. for he had
dreamed that he had lost the way

On the farther side OF the great
trunk of the tree was the masters

of forked sticks driven into the ground.
On the sticks hung a few pots and

a disreputable looking coffee-bag. Be-

pestles came down together with a

silky and tough they picked out the

One morning Gerry looked ~ from

dressed in white linen and his flaring,
glossy riding-boots of embroidered
Russian leather stood out from the
white clothes and the whittier sleeps

telling effect In his HANDS was a
silver-mounted rawhide quirt. His
face was grave, his eyes blue and kind
