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
flesh. 1t 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 off
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-
flee. 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
an heir to the house of Lansing had
raised his lusty voice in apparent rage
at having been born to so small a
kingdom, did the frail Alix of other
days come back. As she lay, pale and
thin. but with the glorious light Of
supreme achievement in her eyes, Mrs.
Lansing went on her knees beside the
bed and sobbed, ooh, Alix, l love you
so, love you soT'

He cabled Gerry and the message was

and hopeful, then tagging but not
