hands and dashed into the house.
Mother, Glen, he's here. Unc-Cous-

From upstairs came a sullen but
feeble roar, as though a bull had bel
lowed and only echo had come forth.
From a hammock under the trees j. Y.
tumbled his stiffening limbs and with
a quick shake of his broad shoulders
strobe across the lawn. There was
patter of women's feet. Glenn burst
out of the house, caught both Of AlanS
hands and shook them. Her lips opened
but she said nothing. Her eyes and
her heart were full Of welcome. Alan
felt them speaking for her. Then came
Mrs. J. Y. and J. Y. and Nance, the
mother of four. There arose a babel
of hearty greetings, but through them
all could be heard the rumble of the
echolike believing.
"Sshv' said Alan, holding up his
hand. "What's that noise?"
Glen laughed. ITS the captain"
she said. Listen"
In the silence the rumbling became
vociferation. Bring him up here.
Bring him up here, dammit"
You'd better go quickly" remarked
Nance, junior. Hes begun to swear
and mother doesn't like US to hear it."
Alan hurried into the house and up
TO the captains room. The grown-ups
followed but stopped below and wait

the chauffeur to the barn.

Alan found the captain propped on
many pillows. His bullying eyes had
the same old glare, his close-cropped
hair still made an effort, though feeble,
to insurgency, but his corpulence was
gone. He had collapsed at last and
was bedridden after a severe stroke

slight indisposition to a knockout

the sole phrase of confession recog-
nized by the malarial cult Happily
for Alan, the expression on this occa-
sion was no euphemism. He was suf-

exerton. He was shown to his room,
his old room with its od-fashloned,
closet and, under recent coatings of
white enamel paint, the many marks
with which in boyhood he and his for

Fasped. Her hands went up to hold
er head and she began to cry in
way Alan had never heard a woman
cry before. The gasping sobs racked
his nerves. He felt as though the sobs
were tearing their way up from his
own breast. He gripped the arms of
the chair in which he sat. His body
telephoned to his brain that he was
going to faint and at such astounding
news Ten Percent Wayne woke I'D and
took charge. "Alix!' the word snapped
out like the crack of a whip. you
stop crying or I'll slap you, and when
I slap l slap hard"
AliX choked, swallowed and looked
at him, outraged and unbelieving.
Alan's eyes were blazing. You listen
TO me. he commanded, listen to every
word say. You've gone through a lot
an three years, but just fasten your
MIND on to this: so has Gerry. That
note is COLI :sess because Gerry made

re curious. But you can be sure of
one thing; If Gerry had wanted me
to tell you his story he'd have asked
ne to. but he didn't. He didn't even
disk me not to. He was standing in
deep Wa ters, but he had his head and
shoulders out. He wasn't asking for
my or anybody else's hand to help
him up the bank. He didn't ask me
not to NEEDLE because he knew l was
man enough to see where he stood
without words. He trusted me-" AL
ans voice trailed off weakly. He
closed his eyes.

Alan held up his hand "Just one

Dom so big"
Alix watched him doze Off She felt
strangely comforted by the crumb he
1ad tossed her. She went back in her
mind TO a dinner of long ago, when
she had defended Gerry's placid
weight against Alan. She sat on for
aaR an hour, busy with varying
thoughts. She looked curiously around
Aans sitting room. How strange
that she should be here and yet how
aatural. How safe she felt. She Won
1ered If it was all because Of the de-
lenses she had raised up in herself or
whether any woman would feel safe
with the new and weakened Alan. She
slipped out without waking him and
sent cable to Pernambuco. By night
she had an answer Gerry had not yet
sailed!
Days passed. She went out only for
exercise. Her mind was busy with
wondering. The judge called regu-
iarly. He had put off going to Red
Hill. He wanted Alix to feel that a
friend was at hand and. besides, he
had Alan on his hands. Alan was
worrying him in new way Some
thing had gone out of him. Sometimes

Here Alan has an opportunity
to spoil all of Gerry and Aiix'
future life by telling just a little
about Margarita and the boy
back in South America. Men
and women frequently do such
things in mere human perversity.

Women who are we'll often ask care

Medicine Co, are continually publishing,
genuine?" care they truthful"
"Why do women write such letters?"
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent Of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink

health and happiness into their lives,
