"Gad-abouts," interrupted Alix, sis
just, but cruel"
well, butterflies" compromised
Collingeford. but never believed it
really happened"
"Oh," said Alix, "it wasn't the baby.
Not altogether You see, Mr.. Collinge-
ford, Gerry Lansing--I'm Mrs. Gerry
disappeared over a year ago--before
the baby came. He thought didn't
love him. l might as well tell you
about It. l believe in telling things.
Mystery is always more dangerous
than truth; it gives such a lead to
Imagination"
So she told him and Collingeford
listened, interested. At the end he
said nothing. Alix looked at his
thoughtful face. what do you think?
Isn't there a chance? Don't you think
he's probably-probably alive"
The judge was not there to hear the
meek appeal of faith for comfort. Col
lingeford met Alix' eyes frankly. "If
1 were you" he said, 81 would prob
ably believe as you do. I've met too
many dead men in .Piccadilly looking
uncommonly well ever to say that a
man Is dead because he's disappeared.
Then there's the other side of it. Bod
sky says a man is never dead while
there's anybody left that loves him."
'Tne judge told me about BOdsky,
He's the man that said there had been
lots of murderers he'd like to take to
his club. He must be worth while.
I'd like to talk TO him"
81 don't suppose" said Collingeford
absently, that Bodsky has talked to
woman since he killed his mistress"
AliX started and looked up from her
work. Don't you think you had bet
ter come back-and bring the talk
back with you?"
1t was Collingeford's turn to start.
81 beg your pardon" he said. You
are right, was in another world. Only
you mustn't get wrong impression.
Everybody says it was an accident
except Bodsky. He has never said
anything"
Mexico Missouri message., 1916-02-24
AAAB5Ff5M:

There is no stronger proof of mans
evolution than his adaptability-hi
power of attainment through the mate
rial at hand, however elementary.
From the very beginning, the necessi-
ties of his new life called to Gerry's
dormant instincts. For the first week
he would not hear. The past loosens
its tendrils slowly. He was listless
and loafed restlessly about the house.
The two darkies worked for his WELL
being, the two white women waited on
him hand and foot. At first it was
lulling; then it was wearying. He be-
gan to wander from the house.
But the week had not been alto
gether lost. He had gathered desul-
tory but primitive information. Occa-
sional re-occurring words began to be
more than mere sounds. The girls
name was Margarita. The wrinkled
little woman was her aunt, Dona
Maria. The two darkies were linger-
ing relics of slave days. They had
been born here. They had gone with
emancipation, but they had come
back. The name of the plantation was
Fazenda Flores. To them it was the
world. They had wandered out of it
hand in hand with liberty but they had
come back because freedom was here.
They needed someone to serve. Mar
garita had long been an orphan. The
place was hers and had once been rich.
But before her day water had become
scarce. The place was uncared for
and had fallen into its present ruin,
1t was well, she said, for if she had
been rich suitors would have searched
her out long since. She was eighteen.
She had been q woman for years!
These things, some of them distinct.
some only half-formed impressions, ran
in Gerry's head as he wandered over
the fazenda. 1t had once been rich,
why was it not rich now? Fertility
sprang to his view on every side save
Mexico Missouri message., 1916-02-24

you'll never grow old, sir" said
Alan.
"Oldg said the captain. "Huh. l
grew old before you were born" The
captain spoke with pride. He straight
ened his bullet head and poised tot
OF whisky with a steady hand. "What
did l tell you?" he said into space.
"How's that, sir?"
"What did tell you," repeated the
captain swinging around his eyes,
"about women"
Alan flushed angrily. He had no re-
tort for the old man. He sat sulenly
silent.
The captain colored too. "That's
right" he said with a surprising touch
Of choler "sulk. Every badly broken
colt sulks at the grip of the bit. What
you need, young man, is a touch of
the whip and you're going to get it."
And then the old man revealed a
surprising knowledge of words that
could lash. At first Alan was indif-
ferent, then amazed, and finally recog-
nized himself beaten at his own game.
He came out of that interview thor
oughly chastened and with an alto
gether new respect for the old captain.
The captains code was peculiar, to
say the least and held the passionate
pilgrim in ample regard but, as he
pointed out to Alan, it was a code of
honor 1t played a game within rules.
He further remarked that the hawk
was al bird of evil repute but person
ally he preferred him to the eagle that
fouls its own nest. There were other
pregnant phrases that hung in Alan's
mind for some time and half awak-
ened him to a realization of where he
stood. Many q man, propped up by
the sustaining atmosphere of a narrow
world, has passed merciless judgment
on such sins as Alan's-metal, un.
proved, sitting in judgment over the
bar that twists in the flame. But the
captain was not one of the worlds
confident army of the INFESTED. He
had roamed the high seas OF pleasure
as well as the ocean wave. Alan would
have struck back at q saint but he
took chastisement from the old sinner
with good grace.
Alan left the captain and presented
himself at the downtown offices of J
Y. Wayne & Co. They were expect
ing him and he was shown in to his
uncle Immediately, to the exaspera
ton of several pompous, waiting
Mexico Missouri message., 1916-02-24

clients. 1t was the first time that uncle
and nephew had been face to face
since their memorable interview at
Maple House.
]. Y. Wayne was aging. He had
lived hard and showed it, but there
was no weakness in his age and he
met Alan without compromise. he
nodded toward chair but did not Of
fer his hand. When he spoke his voice
was low and modulated to the tone Of
business. 81 wanted to see you to
tell you that you have overpaid your
account with me. The balance has
been put to your credit. You can see
the cashier about that. want to tell
you, too, that 1 have made too much
money myself to admire a surprising
capacity in that direction in anyone
else.
Don't think that don't appreciate
the significance of your wiping out a
debt which you incurred unwittingly.
I can see that you had to do 1t be-
cause a Wayne must carry his head
high in his own eyes. But" and here
j.. US eyes left his nephew's express
sionless face and looked vaguely into
the shadows of the room. His voice
took a lower key. "With all your sac
rifice to pride you have failed in pride.
You have not been proud in the things
that count"
]. US voice fell still lower. His
words hung and dropped in the silence
| of the room like the far-away throb Of
a great bell on a still night. 'Yester-
day Glen was crying because you had
not come to the house. try to think,
Alan, that it's because Glen is there
that you have not come. If could
think that" ]. US eyes came slowly
back to AIan's face. A dull red was
burning there. ]. Y. went on, Shame
is a precious thing to man. Differ
emit creeds--d different circumstances
carry us to various lengths Ethics
are elastic today as never before but
as long as shame holds bit of ground
in a mans battlefield, he can win bacl
to any height"
For a long, minute there was silence
then ON common impulse they botl
arose. Alan's eyes were Wide oper
and moist. He held out his hand and
Mexico Missouri message., 1916-02-24

Alan Wayne had been away for a
year. He had not returned from Mont
real but had gone one from there 10
work in South America and, later, to
Africa.
He had been in town for several
days when he met the judge one after
noon in November on the avenue.
Judge" he said without preamble,
whats this I hear about Gerry dis
appearing"
OTIS true,' said the judge and add
ed grlmly, "he disappeared the day you
went to Montreal"
Alan colored and his face turned
grave. 81 am sorry" he said. 81
didn't know it."
Sorry for what" asked the judge,
but Alan refused the opening and the
judge hardly regretted it. They were
not in tune and he felt it. His heart
was heavy over Alan for his own sake.
He had broken what the judge had
long reverenced as a charmed circle.
He had eXiled himself from that which
should have been dearer to him than
his hearts desire. The judge won
dered If he realized it. you're not
going out to Red HIP" he asked, try
ing to make the question casual.

Alan's speech habitually drawled ex-

like the crack of a whip. The judge
looked him over curiously. Alan's
dress was almost too refined. His per-
son was as well cared for as a wom-
ans. Every detail about him was a
studied negation of work, utility, serv-
ice. The judge thought of Collinge-
ford's story and wondered.
They walked in silence for some
time and then Alan took his leave. The
judge followed his erect figure with
solemn eyes. Alan had deterlorated

state board of health denies that, as is
generally believed, lye-peeled peaches
are more injurious to health than
hand-peeled fruits. Tho food value,
quality and flavor are unchanged, and
it is impossible to distinguish one from
the other except by the knife marks
of the hand-peeled product, he says.
Analyses show that the acidity of the
fruit is not affected by the use of lye
in the peeling process.
