Gerry Lansing was sitting alone In

cred In his arms and his head bowed
down. Great quivering sighs that
were almost sobs were shaking his
strong body. In one terrific swirl

the moment when he had plunged
from the sandspit and the moment
when he and the girl had stood on the

swirl out into the river and away,

at first and then with awe to see
him weeping. She tossed him a cot

San Francisco river The envoy sent
on his track by the judges orders
had reached Piranhas to find the little
town In apathetic wonder over the dis
covery Of Gerry's canoe stranded three
miles down the river. The paddle was
still In the canoe and a suit of pyja-
mas. No further trace Of Gerry had
been found. His body had not been re-
covered. The people said 1t was not
unusual. He had undoubtedly been at
tackled by tiger fish. In that case his
bones would have been stripped Of
flesh. 1t vas impossible to drag the
great river.
The judge hid I'm his heart the har-
rowing details. To Mrs. Lansing he
told the central fact. She was struck
dumb with grief and then she thought
Of Alix. Almost hastily they decided
that 1t was not time to tell Alix and
during long months they put her off
with false news Of the search. They
carried 1t farther and farther into the
wilds Of the subcontinent. The coun-
try was so vast, there was no telling
when the messenger would finally
come up with Gerry.
Alix bore the strain with wonder
full patience. The truth was that her
thoughts were not on Gerry. Some
thing greater than Gerry was claiming
all her faith--all her strength Of body
and soul. She did not talk. She was
holding that final communion with her
innermost self with which woman
dedicates her body to pain and sacri-
fee. Alix was not afraid. In those
days the spirit Of the race-her race
OF pioneers--shone from her steady
eyes and even put courage In those
about her.
Only when the ordeal was over and
an heir to the house of Lansing bad
raised his lusty voice In apparent rage
at having been born to so small
kingdom, did the frail Alix of other
days come back. As she lay, pale and
thin, but with the glorious light Of
supreme achievement in her eyes, Mrs.
Lansing went On her knees beside the
bed and sobbed, "Oh. Alix. / love you

to use her head and, when she found

fingers OF his right hand closed on her

1erry cablegram to his mother was
forwarded to Red Fill on the very day
that the judge had gone to tell them
that no trace could be found OF the
missing man. The Judge was more
down-hearted than ever over Gerry's
disappearance and when he found the
two women radiating happiness and
excitement his heart sank lower still.
Il haven't any good news" he said
ruefully before he alighted.

tone to Mrs. Lansing.

at Alix and Alix seemed to look at
herself. He would come into his own
as never before.
The judge undertook the cabling.
He cabled Gerry and the message was
reported undelivered. Then he cabled
the American consul. There followed
a long series, OF messages; first quick
and hopeful, then tagging but not
doubtful, then wearying silence OF
