It was with some misgiyings that
Kemp left Alan at the coast. Alan was
still very weak. Kemp stood, more in
congruous than ever, against the rail
of the little coaster bound for Pernam-

made comfortable in a camp bed on

Don't worry
Kemp was standing in angles. His
hands were thrust in his trousers peck
cts. but even so his elbows were
crooked. One foot was raised on a
rail-. He was coatless as usual. Els
unbuttoned vest stuck out behind. His
Stetson hat was pulled well down over
his eyes. His eyes had taken on the
PARKWAY and slightly luminous look
that always came into them when he
was about to speak from the heart.

A sharp attack Of fever followed
Gerry's exposure and immersion. The
old woman of the inn knew no medical
ments, but she knew fever. She piled
blankets on Gerry and let him sweat
it out. On the third day nature, assist
ed by his magnificent physique, finally
routed the attack.
He called the old woman. He asked
her if she remembered him. She peered
at him. "No, MASTER" she said, 81 do
not remember you. You are like the
is dead"
Gerry shook his head. "Not dead"
he said, "only disappeared"
You are not he," said the old wom-
an. 'He could not talk words that
one could understand"
Gerry nodded gravely. He felt as
though words could never make him
smile again. 81 have learned" he said
'Now tell me what became of the
things l left here" He went through
the list -
The old woman checked off each
item and then shrugged her shoulders.
She led him to a little dark room
whose only light came from the inter-
stices of the tiled roof. AS his pupils
expanded he began to make out one
after another of the bags that had
made up his travelling kit.
"There is a letter." she said, and
went off to fetch it. Gerry dragged
the bags out into the light. Their locks
were ali sealed with the seal of the
American consulate at Pernambuco.
He started knocking off the brittle
wax. The old woman came back Win
the letter and handed it to him. he
tore it open. 1t was note from me
consul saying that by order OF Gerry $
wife his things had been sealed ana
left at the inn, telling him where to
find the keys. The room, he learned
from the old woman, had been paid
for regularly, at first by the month,
then by the year. She felt no resent
ment at his return, only resignation.
you are the only guest I've had since
you went away" she said quantity and
with a sigh.
Gear nothing" said Gerry kindly.
|'You have been faithful. You may
consider the room engaged by me for
the next ten years.
He carried his bags into the room
overlooking the river and then lay
down. He was too tired after the fe-
yer to open them. He knew that the
opening of those dust-covered bags
with their rusted metal fittings was
going to be another ordeal.
The next day Gerry sat before his
unpacked bags. He had turned out
all their contents. On the bed. the
floor. the table and the chairs was
piled such an array of linen and shoes
and suits of various cut and weight as
he had once deemed the minimum with
which a man could decently travel.
Nov they seemed to him wasteful and
futile. The clothes did not carry his
mind back as he had expected. The
starch in the linen had gone yellow.
He had always hated yellow collars.
The suits struck him as belonging to
someone else-all except one. One
sturdy suit Of tweed had cut that
was different from the others. OF all
the clothes 1t alone seemed to have
