and sweeping saddle harness ana
some old magazines off great raw
hide settle on the veranda.
They laid the sick man on the settle
and Lieber started to strip him with
gentle, deft hands. Kemp strobe for
ward and helped but Gerry stood by,
powerless to move. He had recognized
Alan, the man he had sworn to break
IL ever he met him. Somebody else
had broken Alan, terribly. pitilessly.
Gerry's eyes shrank from the sight. A
lump came into his throat. Alan was
dead. Alan with whom he had wan
dered barefoot through those quiet
lanes of home, with whom he had
fished and swum, and once had
fought What a little fury Alan had
been in that boys battle! 1t had not
been fought to finish. On one inn
pulse they had stopped and looked at
each other and turned away, ashamed
to shake hands.
Lieber, once heavy, ford and clum-
sy, was transformed. He worked
quickly, with sure hands. The body
lay stripped on the settle. Under it
still lay the hammock and dusty blan-
kets. The pillows and board had
been tossed on the floor Lieber ex-
amined his patient infinitely, without
haste. The spleen was frightfully dis
tended and pushed out across the alb
domen. He could feel its hard, un-
yielding margins, The feet were swol-
len. The face was yellow with the
sickly gray-yellow Of nodded straw.
Coma had set in.
Lieber dragged a great medicine
chest out from his room. With alcohol
he rapidly washed out the Justified
nostrils Of the stricken man and
bathed his face and then the limbs and
body. Then he took out hypodermic

and picked up the board. He took 1t
into his private room, propped it up
against some books on the table and
sat before 1t with his face dropped
in his hands. To his closed eyes the
words seemed no longer carved in
wood. Against the inward darkness
of his brain they shone out in points
of light. He could not shut them out.

|. At shutdown Lieber came out to his
patient. He had him moved, settle
and all, into q room whose windows
opened upon the veranda. Lieber sat
beside him and nursed him through the
long, hot night. To the deftness OF
his hand had been added tenderness.
and into his face new determination
had come-a resolve to win Aian's
battle for him whatever the odds.
Gerry did not sleep that night. He
lay on the little extra bed he had made
upon his sons arrival and, propping
himself on his elbow, gazed around
him. The moon shone through great
cracks In the warped shutters and
filled the room with a glow that, as his
eyes dilated, became a revealing light

Lieber, with Gerry and Kemp, sat in
the shade of the veranda, smoking after
the midday meal. The stock had been
corralled, but, on Kemp's advice, the
start for Fazenda Flores was to be
made halfway through the afternoon.
There was to be great moon that
night and the drive would be robbed OF
the periIs of darkness to cattle as we'll
as of the horrible heat.
The three were silent, half somno-
lent, when a passing herder grunted
and pointed westward with his chin.
Lieber stood up and looked. a pillar
Of dust was coming across the desert.
He could see men riding and some
thing else. He took his field glasses
from peg and looked again. "Fu-
neral, or a sick man." he said and sat
down to wait. Kemp started whiting
to keep himself awake. Since the hour
Of Lieber's confession he had hardly
spoken.
When the cayalcade came within
easy view Gerry stood up and watched.
He could not hide his curiosity like
Lieber and Kemp. In front Of the
horses came four men bearing sag
ging hammock on pole. They were
running in quick, springy steps that
made the hammock sway gently from
side to side. The pace they kept up
under the burden was marvellous.
They were followed closely by eight
horsnmau At the first signs OF falter-
ing among the bearers, four Of the
riders would throw themselves or
their ponies and run under the pole.
The change of relay was made without
a stop, without pause. The freed
ponies stood with hanging heads and
straddled legs. Even from distance
one could see that the burdened men
had run the wiry little beasts of their
feet. They were all in, but the men
were still erect-keen. With a final
squirt the cortege drew up before the
veranda. Lieber stood up. dead or

Alan was struggling back from coma.

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 seeing gaze. 1t was like
resurrection. A spirit had come down
upon the body. Eye to eye, mouth to
mouth, heart to heart, it had given
sight, breath, life.
The eyes closed. Lieber hurried
away. From the kitchen he brought
bowl OF broth. 1t was steaming and
filed the room with an odor Of rich
essence. It was in itself concentra-
ton Of life. The bowl was emptied.
Alan sank back into the pillows. His
eyes wandered wistfully over the bare
walls, the high filing of the strange
room. 4 would have, great gods! but

like, but you're going to have years to

And sleep it 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.

steady hands added measured drops

shortly.

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 it is less
cowardly to kill man than to let
him die"
He mixed the solution In the syringe
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
swollen vein and pierced it with the
needle. He forced the dose into the
blood. "There," he said with smile
to Gerry, that's what's known as an
intravenous administration of quinine
and arsenic. If another paroxysm
hits him he's done for, but we'll know
all about that in forty-eight hours
time"
He went into the house and brought
out clean sheets, soft wooden blankets,
pillows and pillow-slips. Kemp had
never seen such linen; Gerry had al
most forgotten the feel of 1t. Gerry
came to life. With one hand under
Alan's shoulder and another under his
hips, he lifted him as though he were
an empty shell, while Kemp and Lie

AS McDougal picked him up and
laid him gently in hammock, Alan
came to. The hammock was padded
with pillows and blankets and strung
on stout bamboo pole with two men
at each end supporting it.
"What are you doing with me? he
asked angrily and sank back into the
pillows. From there his eyes glared
up at McDougal.

out and watched jealousy as McDou-
gal opened out the sheets with averted
eyes and set fire to tho thin paper. The
filmy cinders blew hither and thither
under the light breeze. The men under
the pole moved nervously, anxious to
be off. Their eight companions
wheeled their ea-bitten ponies and
headed for the trail. "No, you don't, y

teeth, and then cried, mo, l want the

McDougal dived into the tent and
brought out the board with the roughly
cut words that he could not read but
somehow began to understand. He
slipped it into the hammock behind the
cushions and then just touched Alan's
hand and gave the word to the men.
They started off in shambling, rapid
trot. The horseman fell in behind. A
cloud of dust cut them off from Nc
Douglas gaze. He turned and fell
upon his laboring squad with rolling

were Greek, but nevertheless their

hippopotami Can Run.

In spite of its clumsy build, the hip
popotamus can trot fast. That is why
he was given the name of river-horse.
The hippo's feet are kept far apart by
the wide body and make paths with
ridge down the middle, so as to be rec
ognizable at once. They swim well,
but go at their greatest speed when
they can gallop along the. bottom In
shallow water. They can stay under
water long time, and when they come
to the surface they send little Jets OF
spray from their nostrils. The COW is
devoted to the calf. The young one
