Gives Weed-PuII.na Party.

A fad that is likely to meet with ap-
proval, especially by the City Beauti-
full club, was launched at Pasadena.
Cal, when Mrs P. N. Hanson Of Park
wood boulevard entertained with Q
"weed-pulling" party.
With a lawn knee-deep in clover,
dandelions and dozens of other kinds
of weeds, Mrs. Hanson decided to get
rid of them with one fell swoop, but
the only way to do so was to have
party and show her guests how much
fun it was to pull weeds.
So more than dozen neighbors
were turned loose In weedy lawn.
and after hey had pulled up the last
parasite they were rewarded for their
labor with delicious hot lunch. The
other guests plan to return the favor
by giving weed-pulling parties also.

Lieber began to talk to Gerry.
"How's the water in the ditch, Mr..

Mighty low" said Gerry. He spoke
almost absent-mindedly. For the first
time in months the ditch was far from

"It's hard luck" said Lieber 'fThe

Lieber nodded and went on. He
told his tale well. He had seen more

Gerry listened for while, but he soon
wearied. What had all that to do with
him now? He wandered off and start

away from Alan. Alan was drawing

must remember that. Then, too, what
Alan had said about fooling with the

Gerry had never ridden horse to
death before. When True Blue first
sta ggered he put spurs to him and laid
on 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 rs though
with them he would drag his heavy
body and master one step nearer home.
From his loins back he was paralyzed.
With last desperate effort he
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
be 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 a 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, splinteEed. 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 if 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 a little wilted but high and
strong, the cane stunted but alive.
Only in the pasture bottoms the stock

ger hovered 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 Flores stood
on domed mound. Behind the mound
was a slight hollow before the steady
rise TO the bridge began. Gerry caught
sight of Margarita as she ran down
towards this hollow. Terrified, he cast
glance at the descending flood and
his eye measured its pace against hers.
go back" he shouted with all the
strength Of his lungs, and waved his
arms. 1t was as though he had not
spoken. Through the din and roar OF
the flood the sound of the words scarce
ly reached his own ears
At the very bottom of the hollow
Margarita felt that she was stepping
in water. She took her eyes from
Gerry, who she thought was beckonng
TO her. and looked down. A hurrying
rivI1let whose swift dow carried it be-
fore the churnfng crest of the flood
tugged at her ankles. She looked up
toward the laundering wall 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 a 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 OH his running father.
Margarita could feel him gurging with
JOY i'll 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 felIed 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 loose
limb into clearer view against the blue
sky or the uncoiling 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. upruoted
plants and debris OF every sort. Con

Lieber rose reluctantly. "Don't fail

Gerry sat down in chair beside the
settle. He had not known how tired
he was himself. Soon he drowsed. His
head fell forward on his chest. Sleep
came to him and then great trouble
came to his sleep. He reused himself
from a nightmare and, suddenly wide
awake, found Alan's eyes fixed on his
face.
"You" murmured Alan.
