San Francisco river. The envoy sent
on his track by the Judges orders
had reached Piranhas to find the little
town in apathetic wonder over the dis
.covery of Gerry's canoe stranded three
miles down the river. The paddle was
still In the canoe and suit of pyja
mas. No further trace of Gerry had
been found. His body had not been re-
covered. The people said it was not
unusual. He had undoubtedly been at
tackled by tiger fish. In that case his
bones would have been stripped of
flesh. 1t was impossible to drag the
great river.
The judge hid in his heart the har-
rowing details. To Mrs. Lansing he
told the central fact. She was struck
dumb with grief and then she thought
of Alix. Almost hastily they decided
that it was not a time to tell Alix and
during long months they put her off
with false news of the search. They
carried it farther and farther into the
wilds of the subcontinent. The coun-
try was so vast, there was no telling
when the messenger would finally
come up with Gerry.
Alix bore the strain with wonder
full patience. The truth was that her
thoughts were not on Gerry. Some
thing greater than Gerry was claiming
all her faith-all her strength Of body
and soul. She did not talk. She was
holding that final communion with her
innermOst self with which q woman
dedicates her body to pain and sacri-
fee Alix was not afraid. In those
days the spirit of the race-her race
Of pioneers-shone from her steady
eyes and even put courage in those
about her.
Only when the ordeal was over and
an heir to the house of Lansing had
raised his lusty voice in apparent rage
at having been born to so small
kingdom, did the frail Alix Of other
days come back. AS she lay, pale and
thin, but with the glorious light of
supreme achievement in her eyes, Mrs.
Lansing went on her knees beside the
bed and sobbed, ooh, Alix, love you
so, / love you soV

Gerry Lansing was sitting alone ia
the shade of a bush, his knees gath
cred in his arms and his head bowed
down. Great quivering signs that
were almost sobs were shaking his
strong body. In one terrific swirl
life had wrenched him from the moor
ings of generations, tossed him high
and dropped him, broken. Between
the moment when he had plunged
from the sandspit and the moment
when he and the girl had stood on the
river bank and laughed together TO see
the canoe, worked adrift by the eddy,
swirl out into the river and away,
cons had passed. In that laughing
moment he had stood primeval man in
a primeval world. With the drops of
water from the river he had flicked
off the bonds it had taken centuries
to forge. And now his truant con-
science returned to stand dismayed.
The girl, dressed in a homespun
cotton robe belted at the waist, came
back down a half-hidden path, shyly
at first and then with awe to see
him weeping. She tossed him a cot
ton jumper and trousers and then drew
back and waited for him in the path,
He rose slowly to his feet, dressed and
followed the girl.
She led him along the path through
the brush and out into a little valley
made up of abandoned cane and rice
bottoms. In the center was a slight
elevation, too low to be called hill,
and on it was an old plantation house,
white stucco once, now sadly weather
streaked, its tiles green-black with the
moss of years

Gerry's cablegram to his mother was
forwarded to Red Hill on the very day
that the judge had gone to tell them
that no trace could be found of the
missing man. The judge was more
down-hearted than ever over Gerry's
disappearance and when he found the
two women radiating happiness and
excitement his heart sank lower still.
Il haven't any good news" he said
ruefully before he alighted.
"Tease him." said Alix in a low
tone to Mrs. Lansing.
But Mrs. Lansing had found new
lines in the judges tired face and she
whispered back, Il can't" She put the
cablegram in the judges hand.
whats this?" he said and read it.
Then he gave a warwhoOp, caught
AliX around the waist and kissed her.
The Firs were gay that night-gay
with the joy of happy people happily
planning. In month, say at the most,
two months, Gerry could be here.
Spring would have come. The Hill
would be decked out in full regalia of
leaf and blossom. 1t would be in full
commission to meet him. They looked
at AliX and Alix seemed to look at
herself. He would come into his own
as never before.
The judge undertook the cabling.
He cabled Gerry and the message was
reported undelivered. Then he cabled
the American consul. There followed
long series of messages; first quick
and hopeful, then tagging but not
doubtful, then wearying silence of
weeks, ending with the inevitable
blow. Gerry had been traced to the

BOMBED BY THEIR OWN GUNS
Streets of London, and Causes
Casualties.

During the air raid, everything from
machine guns to three and four-inch-
ers-not one in the lot built for anti
aircraft work-belched forth the best
it had. Up went the bullets and shrap-
mel, and down they came again, down
on the roofs and streets of London.
Far far below the contemptuous air
ships, the little stars of bursting shrap-
mel spat forth their steel bullets in
spiteful impotence, and back they
rained on the tiles and cobbles. . {.
AS we stepped from the curb some
thing tinkled against my foot. Pick
ing it up, it turned out to be a still
warm piece of steel which j
identified at once as fragment Of the
casing of an incendiary bomb. 1t was
not more than an eighth of an inch
thick but of such superlative quality
that it rang like silver bell even to
the tap of finger nail
A far more murderous fragment Of
shivered metal, which j kicked
into few minutes later, was a piece
of shrapnel casing, and there is no
doubt that the casualties from anti
aircraft gun proiectiles are very con-
siderable-Lewis R. Freeman in At
lantic Monthly.
