II the fri with hep me I reckon that
IN q small way wen soon be CROWN a

some bran new air, Mr.. Lansing, you
come out to Big and Little. There
won't be much besides air but it'll be
fresh made on White mountain an you
can smell 1t comm down through the
pines an see 1t playin' with the leaves
on the cottonwoods an plowin' through
the tops of the sorghum"
They sat for some time in silence
then Gerry said, i've been calling you
Kemp since I first saw you but you
still hang on to the mister when you
talk to me. Cut it out, Kemp"
Kemp flushed slightly. Some things
is fttin' an some amt" he said, IAN
we can't always rightly say why. Some
folks Is governed by conscience but
most by pride. Its goin' to be Kemp
and Mister Lansing to the end of the
chapter, Mr.. Lansing an no friendship
lost either. Shake"
They shook hands solemnly, mount
ed and started back to Red Hill. Gerry
had found the key to Kemp's strength.
It was the key Of strength. Kemp be-
longed on the Hill, and with the people
Of true blood anywhere, not only be-
cause he was himself always but be-
cause he defended what he could hold
and no more. He was definition for
independence.

CHAPTER xxxlv-contInusd.

-I8-
4 hard light came into Alix' eyes.
Gerry felt himself suddenly alone. He
went doggedly on. He told Of the
chase and the capture, Of how he and
the girl had seen the canoe drift out
into the clutch Of the eddy and swirl
out into the river and away. He told
her Of how they laughed and ak
shrank. Gerry paused, his brow puck
srsd. He wished he could tell in words
the battle Of his spirit, the utter ruin
Of his downfall. He could not and in
stead he sighed.
There was something In that sigh 90
eloquent of defeated expression that it
succeeded where words might have
failed. It called to Anx with the
strong call Of helpless things. It drew
back her mind to Gerry. With him
and the girl she threaded the path to
Faxenda Flores. Its ruin sprang upon
her through his eyes. With him she
discovered the traces Of an ancient
ditch, with him and the old darky she
dug along that line through long, hot
months. She grew to know Lieber as
the tale went on and finally to love
him because Of all things Lieber
seemed to need love somebody
else's love-most. She amused herself
with Kemp and his drawl. She tried
to keep her thoughts away from Mar
garita and at the coming Of Marga-
rtta's boy, she WINGED.
As he finished telling of the coming
Of the Man. Gerry stopped short. The
thought came to him with tremendous
force that Alix too had gone through
that for him. The impulse to get up
and throw himself before her and on
his knees to thank her almost tore him
from his seat but he fought it down.
He hurried on with his story. He told
Of the coming Of Alan and of the reve-
lation he had brought. And then in a
choked voice and only because he had
set himself IL tell the whole truth he
pictured the Hood, the death Of True
Blue, and tho overwhelming by the
waters before his very eyes Of Mar
garita and the Man. Then he arose
and with hands braced on the table
leaned towards ak II have told you
this 80 that perhaps you may under
stand what l am going to tell you now.
II the flood had not come-if Margarita
and the Man had lived-I would not
have come back"
Alix sat very still and studied
Gerry's face. He had finished the task
he had set himself to do and he was
suddenly very tired. His eyes dropped
a. though from their own weight and
then he raised them again to her in
ScFutsSse txce.
"Hellr he asked after q long pause.
sWell?~ replied Alix.
Gerry's stalwart figure dropped. at

that you should not want me. l have

ready for that. You waited for me;

cold. Before you CO." she said.
''there II Just one thing. wish you

Gerry's body Strengthened and stiff
fened. He stared at her grave face
with wondering eyes. Then he felt a

blood aud before be knew what he did

ANNUAL GARDEN PARTY
ARMY RELIEF SOCIETY.

Pensacola is very much interested
in the Army Relief society, whose
annual entertainment at Fort Bar
rancas is one of the most elaborate
events of each spring season, and
will read with pleasure of the sue
cessful entertainment just given by
the society in New York City, of
which the Army and Navy Journal
says in part:
The annual garden party of the
Army Relief Society, Branch No. /,
was held at Governors Island, N. Y,
on Friday, May 26, under most de
lightful weather conditions. The day
was bright and clear, with a light
breeze, and so warm that the 500 and
more who had supper in the open air
near the club did so with perfect COM
fort. The green lawn in front of de-
partment headquarters was covered
with score of flag-draped tents and
hundreds of tea tables, while above
the old brick row hung banners. Bands
were everywhere, in the midst of the
refreshment tents and on the parade
ground. The arrangements were per-
fectly carried out by the members
of the various committees, and the
party was considered one of the best
ever given, although at present the
amount realized cannot be definitely
stated.
The music for dancing at the club
from 5 to IL was furnished during
the entire evening by the Eli Orches-
ira of Yale University. Messrs. Fair
fax and Faber Downey, sons of Col.
G. F. Downey, brought on from New
Haven the orchestra, of which they
were members, and the occasion owed
much of its success at the club to
the excellent music and the indefa-
tiguable playing of the orchestra
! which played almost continuously
