Alan had not looked at Glen. He
had talked Ike one rehearsing a les

world. He dropped the bit OF bush
and his hands, locked about his knees

But Glen only laughed. Her slim
body swayed to the bends OF the road;
her shoulders were braced; she leaned
slightly back, steadying her horse with
a taut rein. Alan tried to draw even,
but every time he urged his horse into
a squirt Clem's gpurted too. Alan grew
angry. He watched Clem's whip, but
It never moved. He settled into the
saddle and rode bllndly. His horse
must catch up or he would kill him.
He was gaining. A moment more at
the same pace and he could reach
Clem's reins below her horses neck.
Then Glen swerved again into a half
hidden wood-road and Alan's horse
plunged through the brush, broke out,
and followed, a poor second.
Alan's face and hands were badly
scratched, but he rode on doggedly. 1t
never occurred to him to give up the
chase. In the end he would catch up;
he knew that, but what puzzled him
was what he should do to Glen when
he caught her. Anyone else, man or
woman, he would give a taste of their
own riding whip for their own good,
but not Glen. Alan suddenly knew
that there was something in Glenn
that a man could not break.
The wood-road made a gradual
ascent that the willing horses took at
a steady, hard gallop. They left the

Alan did not draw rein until he
reached the top of the bluff dividing
the valley from West lake. Then for
a moment he sat and stared down the
long slope. There was smell of mois-
ture in the air. The valley, the whole
world, was expecting, waiting for rain,
and even as he stared the rain came in
q fine, Veillike mist that steadied the
tones of earth and sky to one even
shade of endless gray. Out Of the gray
came the click of iron on pebble. Alan
recognized the quick, sprlngy tread
of a climbing horse. He turned and
faced Glen. He felt the slow color
rising in his cheeks and his hands
trembled.
They did not smile at each other:
they even forgot to say good morning.
Alan licked his thin lips. They were
as dry as ever they had been with
fever. where's your hat7" he asked.
A flicker of amusement showed in
Clem's eyes. She was quite calm and
she could see'that Alan was not. that

Eyes, Alan" said Glenn as he paused.
She was no longer imperious, only at
tentlve, with chin in hands and elbows
on knees.

there are things about me that you do

Alan picked a bit Of huckleberry

what there is of me is yours over and

fame.

The curb rein, that last refuge Of q
poor horseman, hung loose and forgot
ten. Alan himself was dressed In
well-worn whipcord breeches, short
coat, soft hat, and close-itting boots
adorned with rowelless spurs. For
his health Red Hill had done wonders.
His body was trim, supple and as vi
brant as the young horse under 1t.
But Alan's thoughts were far from
saddles and saddle gear as he walked
the FESTIVE animal down the dipping
slope of Long lane and with his riding
crop steadily discouraged the early
morning flies, intent on settling down
to the business of life on his mounts
arched neck and quivering quarters.
He was thinking of Glen. Where could
he go to get away from Glen? Not
tomorrow, not sometime, but today.
Where could he go today? Once the
world had seemed to him a fenceless
pasture where 1t was good to wander,
where every undiscovered glade prom
Used fresh morsels to an unwearled
palate, but now in his mind the whole
Of Red Hill. Where Glenn was, there
was the whole world. Already he felt
the yearning with which his heart
must henceforth turn to Its sole desire.
He crossed the valley, and, as his
horse breasted the opposing hill, he
thought he heard an echoing hOofbeat
behind him. He turned and with one
hand resting on the horses quarter
gazed back through the gray light, but
Long lane was yelled from view by
overhanging trees. AS he lifted his
hand, its impress, clearly defined as
an image, caught his eye. How strange!
He had ridden a thousand times and
he had never noted such a thing be-
fore. 1t was simple when reduced to
physical terms. The horse was warm
and moist, the hair cool and dry. His
hand pressed the hair down into the
moisture. But when he had reasoned
out the why and wherefore and tick
eted the phenomenon, the impress still
stared back at him. To his mood It
seemed an emblem Of isolation, thing
cut off, discarded, useless. With a
smile of rebuke at his fancies he
touched the horse with his crop and
gave him his head. The horse sprang
forward, cleared the top of the hill
and the rhythmic clatter of his hoofs
as he dashed along the pebble-strewn
road seemed to cleave the still morning
| in two.

When Glenn and Alan reached home
long after the lunch hour they found
the Hill athEill with news. AK had
received a 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
fighting himself. Only Lieber's sudden
death and his burial. to which Gerry
had ridden post-haste, had come in be-
tween as q solemn truce.
On the frelghter 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
deck, staring out to sea, making over
and over the circle Of his life from the
time he had left home. He remem.
beFed sitting thus on the way out. He
remembered the turmoil his mind had
been in and the apathy that had fol-
lowed, the long rest at Pernambuco,
the trip down the coast and up the
river, the glorious. misty morning at
Piranhas, Margarita, catastrophe,

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-
tryslde 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.

Joseph Gabster, a 15 years
old Greek boy, was electrocuted
the morning of the 4th. of July
near Ernest. He was walking a.
long the creek, when he became
entangled with a section of loose
light wire. It is said that some
Indiana resident had run the
line from the street car wire to
a summer camp which he and
his friends used during the sum-
mer. When the camp was abon-
doned, the removal of the wire
was not made and as conse-
quense was still heavily charged
when the accident happened.
Young Gabster with a number
of friends, a majority of whom
were members of the local Boy
Scouts, were engaged in fish
ing and incidental sports Tues
day. The lad and a companion
passed under the wre safely,
while young Gabster caught
hold of the wire with his hands
and was fatally shocked. His
companion, who was George
Blanchard, of Ernest, frabbed
hold of Gabster and was thrown
several feet away by the force
of the electricity.
A farmer boy, whose name
cannot be learned, wrapped his
coat around the striken boy and
succeeded in loosening him from
the WIRE. The young man was
still breathing when released,
but death came a short time
afterwards.
The deceased leaves his father
and two brothers, John and
James, the latter two living in
Detroit, Mich.
