CHAPTER XIV-Continued.

Gerry started opening the sluice
gates, the lowest first. The water CUR
gled out into the main trench and from
there was distributed. At first the
thirsty soil swallowed it greedily but
gradually the rills stretched farther
and farther down into the valley. I'm
der the blazing sun they looked like
streams of molten silver and gold.
Margarita came running up to them
from the house. Gerry put his arm
around her and made her face the val
ley. Then he looked at the girl and
smiled. She smiled back at him but
trouble was still in her eyes.
Gerry left her to start on the work
of fitting the pOnderous sluice-gate of
hewn logs that he had prepared for
the mouth of the great ditch. 1t was a
triumph of ingenuity. He never could
have evolved it without the aid of a
giant irOnwood wormscrew taken from
the wreck of a cotton press. The screw
was so heavy that he and BOnifacio
could hardly carry it.
At the end of three days the great
gate was installed. He and Bonifacio
toiled like sailors at a capStan. They
drove the heavy barrier down into the
sand with last turn of the screw and
shut out the river. Margarita came
and saw and was pleased.

Nitro-GIycerln From Garbage.

The war and the resultant demand
for nitro-glycerin are given as the
reasons for a legal contest which has
been begun for a contract to remove
the garbage of the city of New York.
1t has cost New York $3,750,000 dur
ing the past II years for the removal
of its garbage. but company now
offers to pay 100000 for the privilege
for five years. Counsel for the new
bidder explained that after treating
the garbage with steam, grease is ex-
tracted, and from this grease glycerin
is made, from which in turn nitro
glycerin may be manufactured.

Gerry turned to his work of filling
the soil. He cut the best of the cane
and Bonifacio planted the joints at a
slant with knowing hand. He sorted
the bolls of cotton. The women stu
died the fiber and when it was long,
silky and tough they picked out the
seeds with care and boarded them, for
their time was not yet. One duty
urged another. The days passed rap
idly.
One morning Gerry looked up from
his labor TO find a mounted figure just
behind him. An elderly man OF ford
face sat FESTIVE stallion of Arab
strain. The strangers note was opu-
lence. From his Panama hat, thin and
light as paper, 20 his silver spurs and
the silver-mountsc harness of his
horse, wealth marked him. He was
dressed in white linen and his fiaring
glossy riding-boots Of embroidered
Russian leather stood out from the
white clothes and the whittier Sleeps
fleece that served as saddle cloth, with
telling effect. In his hands was a
silver-mounted rawhide quirt. His
face was grave, his eyes blue and kind
~. As Gerry looked at him ne spoke,
I'm Lieber from up the river"
Gerry started at the familiar Eng
hsh and frowned. At the frown the
strangers eyes shifted. Il didn't come
down here to bother you" he went on
hastily. One OF my men told me
about the green grass and / couldn't

was sitting on the old stone bench
down by The pond.
I jumped up and ran after ner all the
way dowi, Long Lane and up the Low
Road TO where the red COW broke her leg

find her again and had to come away
without her and now I feel so queer
sort of half-y, just like you.
Somehow / can't blame her. She didn't
want to leave the Hill in the gorgeous
month so she just stayed behind. Do you
remember
This is the gorgeous month when leafy

A few hours ago when was doing my
mile on the avenue almost got run down
and Nam selle gave me an awful seolding
for being so absent-minded. 1t was a true
word. I was just that-absent-minde
because my mind was off chasing that
other half And then I came back and
there 1 was on the avenue with people
staring at me more than they ever have
before. I suppose it was because I was
out of breath with chasing in my mind.
Good-by, Alan. GLEN.
Alan sat in the circle of light from
the hanging lamp and stared into the
darkness. From the river came the
sound of sucking mud, then a heavy
tread. A monster hippo Numbered
through the bushes in search of food.
On the other side of the tree trunk the
Zanzibar was snoring. The fires were
burning out at the mems camp. Once
more the odor of their bodies hung In
the air.
Alan arose and dragged his chair to
the outer edge of the mango tree. He
sat down and with hands locked and
elbows on knees gave himself up to
memory. He forgot the sounds and
smells of Africa, the black-green of
overhanging leaves. the black shadows
of the swirling river, the black-bronze
of the men about him. For an hour he
tore himself away from the black
world to wander over the beloved hills
in New England where summer dies
in burst of light
Red Hill, crowned with mountain
ash, called to his spirit as torch in
the night to lost wanderer The thir-
ty months that had passed since last

course, the pale amber of the elms,

Maple House arose before hiza, its

great, rambling house beckoned to
him. Here is peace, here is rest, they
seemed to cry. The memory of home

him. His head nodded and he slept
only to awake with a start for he had
dreamed that he had lost the way

Under the broad dome of mango
tree on the banks of an unnamed Afri-
can river Alan Wayne had pitched his
camp. The Selwyn tent and the pro-
iecting yeranda fly were faded and
Stained. The bobbinet mosquito cur
tains were creamed with age and serv-
ice. Two camp chairs and collapse

placed before the tent. Over one OF
the chairs hung towel. On the ground
souatted a take-dOwn bath tub. hair
filled with water In the deep shadow
of the tree the pale green rot-proof
canvas of the tent. the fly, the chairs
and bathtub, cleaned almost white.
On the farther side of the great
trunk of the tree was the masters
kitchen, three stones and half-circle
of forked sticks driven into the ground.
On the sticks hung few pots ana
pans. a saddle of buck, bits of fat and
81 disreputable looking coffee-bag. Be
tween the stones was a bed of Goals.
BEFORE them crouched red-fezzed

pounding of wooden pestles in wooden
mortars. The eye could just dlsun-

three blacks in motion. They were
singing a harbarous chantey. At the
pauses their arms went up and the
nestles came down together with
thud. The blacks were pounding the
kafir corn for the mems evening meal.
Down the river and almost out or

marked with a ;eer, on making the
presentation. you can ride anything

Gerry felt the foreman needed put
ting in place. He went into the house
and reappeared carrying something in
his hat. He climbed the fence and
called. The horses raised their heads
and looked. Some were lazy after wa
tering but the others trotted over to-
ward him. They stopped few yards
off and scrutinized him as though to
divine his intentions. Then they APP

finish. He STROBE forward and was re-
warded with large lump of sugar.
The sugar was coarse and black, first
cousin to virgin molasses, but 1t was
redolent The horses crowded around
Gerry. They paved at him. He had
to beat them back. They made bold
assault on the empty but odorous hat
Gerry laughed and cleared the fence to
get away from them. Il think your
master must be mistaken" he said
with a smile to the foreman. "Some
Of these colts can never have been
backed"
The foreman looked his admiration.
He began to take Gerry seriously; it
was man to man now. He pointed out
the horses that were broken to saddle
and named their gaitS and mettle
Then his shrewd eyes looked around
for further details to add to his report
to his master. He noted that few,
a very few, of the cattle were still
lying down when they should have
been on their feet and eating. These
were herded into a corner of their own
and old Bonifacio was tending them.
Beside each was a pile of fresh cut
grass. AS they ate they nosed it away,
but Bonifacio pushed it back.
The foremam's eyes caught on two
newborn calves. They had been taken
from their weak mothers and were in
a rough pen by themselves. The fore
man did not have to count the stock
to see that none was missing. He was
cattle bred. A gap in the herd or the
bunch of horses would have flown at
the seventh sense of the stockman the
moment he laid eyes on the field. In
stead there were these two calves.
Master" he said TO Gerry, you have
made up your mind not to lose head.
You would save even these little ones,
born before their timer
Gerry nodded gravely. He had
worked hard to save all. He WINGED
at the mere thought of death at Fa-
Zenda Flores even down to these least
weaklings. He himself had fed them
patiently from a warm bottle. In trou-
BILE and valuable time they had cost
him an acre of cotton. But an acre of
cotton was a small price to pay for
life.
A grip of the hand and the foreman
was off in a cloud of dust. At the
bridge he pulled his horse down to the
stumbling fox trot that spares beast
and man but eats steadily into a long
journey. A bearer of good tidings rides
slowly.
Gerry turned to his work but cry
from the house arrested him. He
dropped his field tools and ran to the
house. Dona Maria glanced at him,
clawed and hustled him out OF the
room-out of the house. The door
slammed behind him. He heard the
great bar drop. He was locked out.
Gerry paced angrily up and down
the veranda. Calm came back to him.
He saw that he had been fool. He
stopped and sat down on the steps OF
the veranda Here. before he had
made his benches. she had often sat
beside him. caressed him. sung to hin.
How cold he had been. How little ne
had done for her. He remembered
that as she had worked Oh baby
clothes she had said she wished she
had some blue ribbon. They had all
laughed at her. but she had nodded her
girls head gravely and said. Yes, /
wish I had some blue ribbon-a little
roll of blue ribbon" What a brute he
had been to laugh.

Suspicious? Certainly, young man,

Average Jones took the smutted
newspaper proof which his host ex-
tended, and read:

Nonsense. I believe some human

ror of it drove Moseley to suicide"
Prove it"

His host handed him the current
issue of the Delineator.
Average Jones studied the local
page.
Where's Galvin's Alley?" he asked
presently. In the Golden Hill Sec

Yes"

"You can reason, young man"
I've got to reason a lot further, if
I'm to get anywhere in this affair."
said Average Jones with conviction.
DO you care to come to Galvin's Al
ley with me?"
Together they went down the hill to
poor little house, marked by white
crepe. The occupants were Italians
who spoke some English. The dead
child's father said strange gentleman
had come that morning; queer, bent
little gentleman, very bald and with
big eyeglasses, who was kind, and
wept with them and gave them money
to bury the "bambino."
'Moseley, by the Lord Harry" ex-
claimed Mr.. Curtis Fleming. But
what was the death agent?"
Average Jones shook his head.

inclosed by mistake with the copy for
the advertisement. The handwriting
on the envelope is his own. Look in

A glance had shown Average Jones
that the letter had been mailed in New
York On March %. He took out
the Enclosure. It was small slip
of paper The date was stamped on
with rubber stamp. There was no
writing of any kind. Near the center
of the sheet were three dots. They
seemed to have been made with red
ink.
What's your interest in all this, my
mysterious young friend?'
Two dogs in New York poisoned
in something the same way as yours. :"

"Confessed?" echoed Average Jones.
