FROM bis lotus back be was paralyzed.

From his lotus back he was paralyzed.
With a last desperate effort be
straddled his forelegs, but he could not
brace himself against the backward
sag of dead weight. Gerry felt him
sinking beneath him and suddenly
found himself standing over his pros
trate horse. OF True Blue, his forefeet
outstretched, his head and breast still
held high, there was left only great
spirit chained to a fallen and dying
body.
A cry escaped Gerry's lips-a cry of
horror at what he had done. Then
he remembered why he had done 1t
and ran not for the sluice-gate but for
the bridge. AS he reached it the roar
became deafening. There was splin-
tering, cracking sound that, meas
ured by the great commotion, seemed
like the tinkle of tiny bell. But there
was something in the sound that called
to his brain. He cast a glance over his
shoulder. The monster beams of his
sluice-gate, hurled, splintered, into the
air, were still hanging against the blue
sky. Under them surged an angry
white wall of racing water. Even as
he started to run down the long slope
to the house Gerry thought with a
great relief that il the gate had been
closed it would have gone even SO, like
matchwood.
Below him Fazenda Flores lay peace
full, still, under the blazing sun. The
cotton was little wilted but high and
strong, the cane stunted but alive.
Only In the pasture bottoms the stock
had gathered in frightened clumps.
Their instinct had told them that dan
ger lowered near. Suddenly from the
quiet house burst Margarita, carrying
her son on one arm. She had seen
Gerry from window. While the 9TH
ers watched the rising river, and now
this terrifying torrent bursting down
upon them from above, she had slipped
out to run to him.
The house at Fazenda Floren stood
on a domed mound. Behind the mound
was slight hollow before the steady
rise to tie bridge began. Gerry caught
sight of Margarita as she ran down
towards this hollow. Terrified, he cast
glance at the descending food and
his eye measured its pace against hers

In water. She took her eyes from
Gerry, who she thought was reckoning
to her, and looked down. A hurrying
rivulet whose swift flow carried it be-
fore the churning crest of the food,
tugged at her ankles. She looked up
toward the laundering avail of oncom-
ing water and knew that she was lost.
She stopped and fixed her eyes on
Gerry, who was plunging down the
slope in mad effort to reach her. She
called to him, but she knew he could
not hear her. With arms stretched to
their highest, she held up the Man. The
Man was not frightened. His black
eyes were fixed on his running father.
Margarita could feel him gurgling with
joy in the new game. Then suddenly
he cried out 1t was wall Of fright.
The wall was cut short. Broken in
two, it rang terribly in her ears as
she went down.
The water had fel,ed Margarita and
the Man. Gerry saw them flung down
the crest of the wave. They became
suddenly a twirling, sodden mass, in
animate save for the fling of a loose
limb into clearer view against the blue
sky or the uncoillng Of long black hair
on the seething water.
Gerry reached the torrent. Marga-
rita and the Man had already been
whirled far towards the great river.
He plunged into the food. The water
was thick with earth, sticks, uprooted
plants and debris Of every sort. Con-
fiicting, swirling currents tugged at
heavy STOKES, rolled them along and
sometimes even tossed one to the sur
face.
Gerry's struggling body was hurled
hither and thither. A stray current
shot him to the surface. but before he
could take breath other currents
sucked him down and dragged him
along the rough surface of the crum-
bling soil. lie felt as though he were
being torn limb from limb.
Then suddenly he was cast into an
eddy that in comparison with the mael-
strom was almost peaceful. For an
instant he felt like one who awakes

"Alan, What Did You Do With Herr"

away on the horizon rose white, ad-
vancing mist. The rider rolled off his
staggering horse. 1.-The flood" he
gasped. "Never before has there been
such a flood"
Before the words were out of his
mouth there was frenzied rattle of
hoofs and Gerry on True Blue tore
off at mad gallop down the trail
towards Fazenda Flores. Almost at
his heels followed the first mounted
Of the herders, riding all they knew to
cut across to Piranhas ahead of the
wall Of water.
Lieber's eyes followed Gerry's flight.
Then he turned them on Alan. "That
hollow down there" he said, twill be
turned into a rushing river in half an
hour-perhaps less. We're just safe
here, and that's all. You see Mr.. Ian
sing? He's the spot farthest down the
trail. I'm thinking wen never see
him again"
A faint flush came into Alan's
cheeks. 1t was flush Of pride-pride
in Gerry. Gerry had not hesitated.
He had not ridden off like laggard.
Even now they could see that he was
riding for life-riding with all his
might for the lives that shackled him.

played IN bringing resurrection TO the
abandoned plantation and life to the
neighboring stock.
Alan cast curious glance at Gerry.
Dangerous business" he said, "fool-
ing with the normal level in flood
country"
Lieber nodded and went on. He
told his tale well. He had seen more
than Gerry could have put into words.
Gerry listened for a while, but he soon
wearied. What had all that to do with
him now? He wandered off and start
ed to saddle True. Blue. He must get
away from Alan. Alan was drawing
him, but he was bound in chains. He
must remember that. Then, too, what
Alan had said about fooling with the
normal level worried him. He must
go back and station guard at the
great sluice gate.
A sudden puff Of air, then breeze,
then a gale, swept down on Lieber's
from the southwest. The wind was
hot, furnace blast from the torrid
wilderness. 1t carried with it whirls
Of dust, light, dry sticks, and, finally,
small pebbles that hurtled along the
ground. Gerry and his horse sought
shelter by the house. Herders came
running out from their quarters and
gathered in front of the veranda. The
wind suddenly turned cold. dropped
and ceased. The dust settled. The
sun blazed as before. There was not
a cloud in the sky. The herders all
looked at Lieber. They did not talk.
They were waiting.
Lieber shrugged his shoulders.
Somewhere" he said with wave of
his hand to the southwest, there has
been rain and hail and that sort of
thing. Temperature fell and drove
the hot air off the desert" He told
the men, but they did not go away.
They stood around, their eyes sweep
ing the horizon to the southwest. At
last one of them grunted. His eyes
were fixed on distant pillar of dust.
1t came towards them. Lieber used
his field glasses. Without taking them
from his eyes, he spoke. Its man,
riding. Looks like he's riding for life.
Something is up. He's riding to kill
his horse"
AS the man approached, dull rum
bling filled the ears of the watchers.
So gradual was It's crescendo that they
did not notice 1t. The rider spurred
and beat his horse to a final effort.
They could see he was shouting. He
drew nearer, and they heard him,
"Flood Floodw Then they noticed
the rumbling. 1t became roar. Far
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1916-06-15

Gerry had never ridden a horse to
death before. When True Blue first
staggered he put spurs to him and laid
Sn his quirt right and left.
The roar of the river was SO loud
that he could not tell If he had really
beaten the flood or not, though he
could see just before him the long,
snaky ridge Of the main ditch banks.
He must get on.
But True Blue only came to a stag
gering stop under the quirt. With his
forefeet he still marked time as though
with them he would drag his heavy
body and master one step nearer home.
