When Glenn and Alan reached home
long after the lunch hour they found
the Hill athrill with news. Alix had
received cable and had left at once
for town. She had gone alone. That
could mean but one thing-Gerry was
at last coming back.
1t was from Barbados that Gerry
had cabled. Ever since he had written
his short note to Alix, through long
doubling weeks at Piranhas and longer
days OF questioning and hesitation on
board the slow freighter that was
bearing him home, Gerry had been
lighting himself. Only Lieber's sudden
death and his burial. to which Gerry
had ridden post-haste, had come In be-
tween as a solemn truce
On the freighter he had had time
enough and to spare to think. He had
spent hours going over the same
ground time and time again. For days
he sat In his chair on the short bridge.

pushed through brush and branches,
and burst out on to the long, bald back
Of East mountain. Then came another
clear run over crisp sod dangerously
interspersed with wet, slippery stones
and hindering powders.
At the highest point in all the coun-
tryside Glenn suddenly drew rein and
slipped from her horse before Alan
could reach her. She stood with one
arm across the saddle-horn and waited
for him.
Alan threw himself from his horse
and rushed up to her. His hands were
itching to grip her shoulders and shake
her. but he held them at his side.
what did you do 1t for?" he asked
with blazing eyes.
Glenn looked him over coolly. Ever

"What?' suffered Alan. He felt
foundations slipping from under him.

Percent Wayne at his best In the eye
and never turn a mental hair.
"How do you like it?' continued
Glenn in an even, firm voice. Then she
turned her square back to the saddle
and faced him fairly. "I'n tell you
what did it for. All my life I've been
running after you. Last night heard
you packing. knew what you were
doing-you were getting ready to go
away. Before you went wanted you
to run after me-just once. A sort
Of consolation prize to pride"
Alan's face hardened. stop, Glenn.
You can't talk like that to me and you
can't talk like that to yourself He
looked at Glen and the blood surged
into his neck and face. At that mo-
ment Glen was beautiful to him be
yond the widest dreams OF fair
women.
Her right arm was still hooked
over the double horn Of her saddle
and her left hand holding slim rid
ing whip hung at her side. To the vel
vet lapels of her coat chung little drops
Of rain. Her hair was braided and
firmly tied In a double fold at the back
of her neck, but short strands had
escaped from durance and played
about her head. Her head, like the
velvet iapels, was busted with little
silvery drops OF water and little drops
of water perched On her long. upturned
lashes. Her cheeks were flushed, her
bosom agitated, her lips tremulous.
Only her eyes were steady.
Alan took Off his coat and threw 1t
over a rock. "Will you please sit down?
I must talk to you"
Glenn strobe to another rock and sat
down. "You are absurd. Your coat
Is as wet az the stones. Put 1t on"
Alan hesitated. "Put your coat on"
Alan obeyed: then he sat down be-
fore her. but turned his eyes away and
gazed rather vacantly over the whole
wet world. 'If ever two people have
known each other without words,
Glenn. it's you and me. Never mind
the grammar Even unshackled words

HILO. Nov. lT.-Friction between
men in the employ of Richard Deming,
yice-nresident of the American Surety
Co. in charge of the construction OF
~the IIilo breakwater. and men alleged
to be in the employ OF Contractor
George z. Marshall. whose contract

nearing riot today at the Waiakea
quarry. Police are on the watch to
avert a fight at Waiakea and Waipio
and the guards are constantly being

fists are on the job. Considerable
excitement prevails at both places.
Attorney ~ F. Prosser, one of eoun-
sci fer the American Surety Co. re-
.ceived a wireless Hessage today from
Deming to the effect that Marshall
had attempted to iniure the plant of
the surety company by damaging parts
of locomotives and parts of the float
ing equipment of the concern.
According to Deming's message"

Attorney Prosser says he does not
know who 'Marsball's men" are He
points cut that it was the intention
of the surety company, after it was
designated by the United States gov
ernment to complete the breakwater,
to employ those men who had been
working under Marshall. He believes
that the trouble on the Big Island. as
reported in the foregoing wireless
message from the Star-Bulletin's cor
respondent at TIilo is solely for the
purpose of preventing the surety com
pany from going ahead with the work.
Il did not know but what such a

ser continues. There is always a
chance for danger in matter of this
KIND.
As previously reported in the Star

on the Hilo breakwater which. il is al

This payment was made shortly after
the American Surety Co. assumed
