COllingefOrd gave sigh of relief
when he saw what manner of place
was Maple House. AS they gathered
around the great table for dinner he
was the only stranger and he did not
feel 1t. Nance was there with the
faint smile of mother that has just
put her children to bed. Charley Stir
ling, teasing Clcmatis, tried to forget
that Monday and the city were coming
together. Mrs J. Y, with ColIinge-
ford on her right and the judge on her
left. held quiet sway over the table
and nodded reassurinSly at the old
captain who was making gestures
with his eyes to the effect that
whisky and soda should be Immediate

gray by now, sat thoughtful, but
kindly, at the other end of the table.
Glen was beside him.
1t was not until the men were sit
ting alone after the glass of port, in
which all had drunk Colingeford's
welcome to that house, that the judge
said casually, "Collingeford saw Alan
In Africa"
"Eh! What?" said the captain

the washing OF clothes and the women
did that. Fish were ceught in great
quantities but fishing was not an in
dustry. Here man fished only when
he was hungry.
Gerry chartered ponderous canoe.
At first he had a man to paddle him
up and down and sometimes across
the wide half-mile of water. But be-
fore long he learned to handle the
thing himself. The heavy work soon
trimmed his splendid muscles into
shape. He supplied the hostelry with
variety Of fish.
One morning he awoke earlier than
netAf> The wave Of life was running
B Bh In his veins. He sprang up and,
Still in his paiamas, hurried out for
bis morning swim. The break of day
was gloriously chilly. A cool breeze,
hurrying up from the sea, was stead
lily banking up the mist that hung over
the river. Gerry sprang into his canoe
and pushed off. He drove its heavy
length up stream, not in the teeth Of
the current, for no man could do that,
but skirting the shore, seizing on the
help Of every eddy and keeping an eye
out for the green swirling mound that
meant pinnacle of rock just short
Of the surface. He went farther up
the river than ever before. His mus
cles were keyed to the struggle. He
passed the last jutting bend that the
boatmen on the river could master and
found himself in bay protected by a
spit of sand, rock-tipped and foam
tossed where it reached the rivers
channel. From this point the river
was a chaos of Jagged rocks that
fought the mighty tide hurled from
the falls still miles above.
Gerry ran the canoe upon the shore
and stripped. He stepped on to the
spit Of sand. In that moment just to
live was enough. A sharp cry broke
on his astonished ears.
Almost at the end of the tongue Of
sand. stood girl. Her hair was blow
Ing around her slim shoulders. Over
one of thon she gazed, startled, at
Gerry. He drew back horribly con-
fused and mumbiing apologies that she
conld not have understood even If she
could have heard them. Then she
plunged with clean long dive into the
river. But before she plunged she
laugh he'd. Gerry heard the laugh. With
an answering cry he hurled himself
Into the water and swan as he had
never swum before.
The girl had farther to 60 across the
little bay, but she could beat Gerry
swimming and she did, Only she failed
to use her head and, when she found
bottom, started to wade. Wading is
slow work in water waist high. Gerry
stuck to his long powerful stroke. As
the girl reached the bank the strong
fingers of his right hand closed on her
bare ankle.

On the fourth day Ahx got up but
on the fifth she stayed in bed. Mrs.
Lansing found her pale and fright
ened. She had been crying.
"Alix," she whispered, kneeling be-
side the bed. "what is it?''
Alix told her amid sobs. "Oh, my
DEAR" said Mrs. Lansing, throwing her
arms around her, "don't cry. Don
worry. The strength will come with
the need. In the end you'll be glad.
So will Gerry. So will all Of u.s.

"You don't know how bleak the Fill

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.
II 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, II can't" She put the
cablegram in the judges hand.
whats this?" he said and read 1t.
Then he gave war-whoop, 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 Alfx and Alix seemed to look at
herself. He would come into his own
Rs never before.
TIE Judge undertook the cabling.
he oab:et; Gerry and the message was
lrer"rtci undelivered. Then he cabled
the American consul. There followed
long series Df 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
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 a 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
1esh. It 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 time to tell Alix and
during long months they put her of
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 a 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

raised bis lusty voice in apparent rage

In the squalid Hotel d'Europe Gerry
occupied large room that overlooked
the quay. Even if there had been a
better hotel in town he would not have
moved.
He was not lonely. He wandered
interested through all the struggling
city. When he was too lazy to go to
the city he sat in the precarious bal
cony of his room and watched the city
come to him.
Almost month had passed since he
landed OH his Lethean shore, and it
had served him well. The world
seemed to have time-servers in small
regard. He began to think of his moth
er. He strolled over to the cable sta
ton. The offices were undergoing re-
pairs. The ground floor was unfur.
nished save for a table and one chair.
In the chair sat chocolate-colored
employee with long bamboo on the
floor beside him. Gerry's curiosity was
aroused. He went in and wrote his
message to mis- mother-just few
words telling her he was all right. The
chocolate gentleman folded the mes.
sage, slipped it into the split end Of
the bamboo and stuck it up through
hole in the ceiling to the floor above.
Gerry smiled and then laughed at the
gravity with which his smile was re-
ceived. The man looked at him in
astonishment. These English were all
mad and discourteous. What was
there to laugh at in man at work?
Gerry went out and ramblcd over
the city. Night came on. He was
restless. He wished he had not sent
the message. It was forming itself
into link. He dined badly ut res
taurant and then wandered balk to the
quay. Arriving steamers we're posted
on blackboard under street lamp.
The mail from New York was due to-.
morrow. The consul's papers wcald
be full of the latest New York society
scaMdal-his scandal. He went to his
room and sat on the balcony watching
the varied craft preparing to drift out
ion the tide. Suddenly he got up and
went down to the quay.
A long, raking craft was taking on
its meager provisions. Gerry engaged
its captain in pantomime parley. The
boat was bound for PenedO to take on
cotton. Gerry decided to go to Penedo.
Two of the crew went back with him
to get his baggage The hotel was
closed. Gerry was the. only guest and
he had his key. He had paid his
weekly bill that day, SO there was no
need to wake up anyone. In half an
hour he and his belongings were
slowed on the deck of the Josephine
and she was drifting slowly down to
the bar.
Four days later they were off the
mouth of the San Francisco. They
doubled in and tackled their way up
to Penedo. There was no life in Pen.
edo. 1t was desolate and lonely COM
pared with the Hotel d'Europe and the
lively quay: so when funny little
stern-wheeler started up the river on
its weekly trip to Piranhas, Gerry
went with it.
Piranhas was town of mud plas-
tered against a barren cliff. 1t made
no pretense to being alive. Here a
dead man could live In peace with his
surroundings. From fifteen miles up
the river came the rumble of the
mighty Paulo Alfonso ialls, singing a
perpetual requiem. Gerry established
himself in a hovel of an inn that even
in this far retreat did not dare call
itself hotel.

Labor's Share Increasing.

Wages generally are being increased through
out the United States, following on a general
lifting Of the price level Under the circum-
stances the movement is not unexpected, but
it has not been accompanied by strikes or
other disturbances customary in connection with
extensive wage increase. Large associations Of
employers have voluntarily advanced the pay Of
their workmen as matter of justice II is true
that in no instance has the rise in pay cqualed
the added cost Of living, but the move is helpful
SO far as it goes, for it aids the worker in solving
his most pressing problem, and will in this way
avert possible disturbance. Industrial conditions,
too, are such as warrant the expectation of much
,steadier employment than usually is provided,
Even the so-called seasonal trades have found
their busy seasons extended far beyond their nor
NAL time, and workers who expect to be idle at
stated periods are still employed at full time,
Some industries set up the complaint that labor
is so prosperous as to become self-indugent and
disinelined to work as many hours as the piled-up
'order books demand. The decided contrast be-
tween the situation Of labor at present and that of
two years ago is gratifying
