At last the rains came to the valley
and Fazenda Flores. Gerry spent long
hours beside his suicegate watching
for a rise in the river, but it did not
come. The torrent of rain was local
and he remembered that Lieber had
told him that the floOdS-the great
tloods-came from hundreds of miles
up the river and generally under a
brazen sky. Night, black night, had
fallen with the rain and he was just
turning to seek shelter from the un-
broken downpOur when a voice raised
in song reached his ears. He waited.
The voice drew nearer. In nasal
tone, which somehow sounded familiar
though it was unknown to him, it was
chanting a long string Of doggerel end
ing in an unvarying refrain. Finally
Gerry could make out the long-drawn
tail-end of the song: comm down the
lrawr"
English! American! Cowboy mu-
sic! The impressions came in rapid
succession. Gerry strove to pierce
he darkness. He could hear the near
by splash of careful mules, picking
;heir way through puddles with finick-
ing little steps. He felt a shadow in
he darkness and could just see above
t Il blur of yellow. Behind 1t. more
shadows. On an impulse he did not
top to measure, he shouted in English,
Halo, there"'
The doggerel was choked off in mid
light. The yellow blur came to a sud-
den stop and the nasal voice rang out
in quick staccato, Speak again,
stranger, and speak Quickr'
It's all right" Gerry laughed back
where are you bound for?"
I'm headed down the drawr lookin'
for chalk line where l en- dry my
feet. What do you know?"
Can you see the water in the ditch
at your right?"
"Yasser, can. l en- see you, too"
WELL" shouted back Gerry, your
eyes beat mine. Follow the ditch un-
til you come to bridge. I'll meet you
there"
Gerry found the little cavalcade
waiting for him, six pack-mules, a ma
tive driver and, towering above them,
great lanky figure in a yellow oil
skin slicker topped by broad
brimmed Stetson. Gerry looked over
the outfit as carefully as the darkness
would allow and then said tentatively,
There's a house down there in the
valley"
rs the'?" drawled the stranger spit
ting deliberately into the ditch. "Well,"
he volunteered after a further pause
my names Jake Kemp. The rest of
this outfit is six mules packin' orchids
and the greaser packin' the mules"
That's all right" said Gerry, Il
guess we can put you up"

1t up. Once more in the saddle Kemp
seemed to acquire sudden new ease
of body and mind. He hung by one
knee and a stirrup and leaned over
toward Gerry. Stranger" he said,
I'm much obliged to ye. It's a long
way FIN the Alamo to Moo Yawk, but
the hull cOuntry's under one fence"
He waved his hand and was gone af-
ter his pack-train, lifting his mule with
his gOOse-necked spurs into a protest
ing canter. Two weeks after his pass
ing, as evening was settling on Fa-
zenda Flores, the echo of mules
mincing steps on the bridge made Ger
ry look up from his work.
"HOwdy," said Kemp and paused on
that to measure his welcome. He was
satisfied and urged his tired mule on
towards the house. Gerry walked be-
side him and learned that the ship
ment Of orchids had just caught the
steamer at the coast. Kemp unsaddled
his mule and tossed the harness and
slicker upon the veranda. As Gerry
was closing the gap into the pasture
Kemp came up and stood beside him.
He cast knowing eye over the fat
stock. You done good job for Lie
ber," he remarked.
Gerry nodded little sadly. YES"
he said, 1.-The contracts filled. Lieber's
sending for the stock day after tomor-
row."
AS they sat on the veranda that
night smoking endless cigarettes,
Kemp turned to his host. Dye mind

But Clem stuck to her guns. "Real-

Then her smile burst again. "You
can't expect me to be surprised, can

Alan stood and watched her. He

He led the way and the pack-traln
splashed along after him. The mules
were soon relieved of their burdens
and turned into the pasture. BOni'
facio took the native muleteer away
TO his quarters and Gerry and the
stranger passed through the house to
the kitchen.
A patrlarchal hospitality came nat
urally to the inmates OF Fazenda
Flores. 1t was a tradition not only on
that plantation but throughout a vast
hinterland, where life was rude and
death sudden, to be gentle to the
stranger, to feel him and his beast
and to speed him on In the early morn

Ously. poured down coffee with the
recklessness of a man that draws on
limitless power to sleep. and made
his few remarks to Gerry and to Ger
~ alone.
Gerry was feeling strange elation
that he strove In vain to account for.
This was an American but beyond that
they had nothing in common. New
York and Texas are connected only by
fiction. Perhaps it was just curiosity.
Curiosity invaded him. What was a
Texas cowboy doing on the road past
Fazenda Flores with a mule-train Of
orchids? AS an opener he declared
himself. my names Gerry Lansing"
he said. "Pve settled down here"
"So" said Kemp, as he drew from
his vest pockets the makings of ciga-
rette. Gerry had seen the yellow pa
pers and the little bags Of faxed to-
bacco They struck cOnvincingly the
note of the West. Reckon you're I'm
the States" drawled Kemp as he ac-
cOmplished the cigarette.
"Yes," said Gerry and added, with
an idea to establishing link, like
you"
Reckon you're I'm Moo Yawk," was
Kemp's next deliberate contribution
to the conversation.
With that, talk Jagged. Gerry in
stinctively avoided the question direct
and Kemp vOuchsafed nothing more.
Not till Gerry came upon him hitching
up his loads early next morning did
he speak again and then he said with
CLINT in his eye that was almost a
smile, II guess them's the first orchids
that ever Travelled to ma'ket under a
diamond hitch"
Here was an opening but it came
too late. Gerry did not try to follow
