with crooked elbow and knee against
a veranda pillar. His keen aquiline
features and deep-set eyes were lit up
by the moonlight and seemed scarcely
to belong to his great, loose-jointed
frame. He was loose-jointed but like
a fall-strong and tough. There's
one thing about the purple cities" he
added, "the daylight always beats you
to 'em jest like in the POM" He
turned and went Off to bed.
Gerry sat on In the moonlight seized
by strange sadness-the sadness the
spirit feels under the troubled hover
ing OF the unattainable and the mi
rage. Life had queer turns. Why
should a cowboy start out to look for
purple cities? 1t was grotesque on the
face OF 1t but, beneath the face Of Il,
1t was not grotesque.

for thus she had christened her baby
boy from the day of his birth, "the
Man sleeps. he cried for thee and

Gerry's thoughts came back to his
little kingdom. He sighed and then
he smiled a smile OF content. 1T Is

CHAPTER XVIII-continued.

"Why there's no Mr.. Wayne and
Mrs. Wayne-only ]. VS."
"And you don't know, AlanY asked
the Judge. "Well, I'll tell you. Mr..
Wayne and Mrs. Wayne-they were
Alan's father and his young wife.
Their life was a hot flame that sud
denly smothered itself in the clouds
of its own smoke. The memory of the
clouds passed with them but the flame

all who knew them. 1t will burn on.
That's why j. Y. is J. Y. and that's
why it will always be j. Y. and Mrs.

Alan said good-by in a hurried low
voice and started for the door but the
Judge called to him: Just moment,
Alan, I'm coming with you"
The judge found Alan waiting for
him on the steps as he hurried out.
"What are you doing for the rest of
the afternoon he asked.
I'm sailing for South America II

The judge looked up surprised. 81
didn't know you had anything urgent
on" They walked on in silence for
some minutes, then the judge said.
hesitatingly, ALAN, you're rushed, of
course, but If you could-if you can
do one thing and put it down to my
account. Just drop in and see j. Y.
for a minute. Somehow l feel that

Is. But If you knew him, Alan, the

for any man to shake hands with ]. Y.

Change to the effect that a firm was

spoke almost questloningy.
81 don't know that he wants to, Ell
Their, my boy. But / do know this.
He's a busy man, but there's never
a day that he's too rushed to think OF
you"
Alan stopped and held out his hand.
81 am much obliged to you" he said.
"I'm sorry l didn't think of 1t myself.
I'm off to his office now, as soon as
I've telephoned Swithson."
]. Y. received his nephew with out
stretched hand. His rugged face was
lit up with the rare smile that came
TO 1t seldom, for it was the far-hung
ripple-the visible expression of a deep
= sommotion.
81 just dropped in. sir" said Alan,
"to say good-by. I'm off again to
South America. Africa seems to be
taking a year off,"
They sat and looked at each other
for a moment and then j. Y. arose
and held out his hand again. 'If that's
the case" he said, II won't keep you.
Good-by and good luck"
"Good-by, sir" said Alan.
As he reached the door J. Y. spoke
again. "Alan," he said, "I'm glad you
dropped in"
81 am too, SIR said Alan.
He was Just leaving the sedate old
ofte building, sandwiched In between
modern towers of Babel, when a cab
drew up at the curb. The door opened
and a girl stepped out. She suddenly
stood still. Alan's eyes were drawn to
her and found hers fixed on him. He
drew a qulverlng breath. Glen stood
before him. She saw his hesitation
and cloud came over the light in her
face. Her moist lips trembed. Their
hands met.
"AlanI" she said and he answered,

Lieber, accompanied by two herders,
came early for his stock. He greeted
Kemp warmly. Going my way?" he
asked.
81 ben loafn' around here with that
in mind" drawled Kemp. "I'll take
hand If you'll allow me a mount"
"You can take your pick" said Lie
Der, that is, after Mr.. Lansing has
had his"
The three OF them walked into the
pasture. Lieber looked at the stock
with kindling eyes. He turned to Ger.
ry and held out his hand. SHAKE" he
said. and Gerry did. "What do you
say to the first FIVE Of the horses out
and the last ten of the cattle for your
shareY
Gerry flushed. That's more than
fair" he said. "You know the best
of the horses will lead the bunch and
the latest of the cattle will lag be-
hind. You see, they're all strong
now.'
That's just it." said Lieber.
Kemp had gone off to round up his
mule. He came up from the river
driving it before him. At every jump
he caught the mule a flick with his
rope and the mule kicked and squealed
but came on with long, stiff-legged
strides. ''Hiyi| yelled Kemp and
snatched of his hat to beat his mount
while he kept the rope-end Pickering
over the mule.
Gerry and Lieber laughed. Kemp
was like a mummy come to sudden
life. "Do you know what" said Ger
~, II think I'll come along with you"
He led the iron-gray out by his fore
lock- and old Bonlfacio hurried to help
bride and saddle him. Lieber mount
ed his stallion and turned the horses
as they came out. Kemp suddenly
sobered down to business. When Lie
Der had thrown back the last ten of
the cattle, Kemp came out and closed
the gap behind him.
81 think I'll go ahead with the
horses" said Lieber.
you go and take yo' men with you"
said Kemp. II could drive this fat
bunch from here to Kansas with nary
hand to spell me-"
Gerry had expected a surprise OF
some sort when at last he arrived at
Lieber's but the things he saw there,
stranger than anything he could have
imagined, left him calm and unmoved
as though some prescience had pre-
pared him. The house was built on the
usual solid lines of plantation head
quarters. Great, rough-hewn beams;
towering rafters, built to carry the
heavy tiles and to bear their burden
for generations; unceiled, vast rooms
with calcimined walls; all these were
not outside Gerry's experience in the
new land. The strangeness came with
the rugs and the linen, the etchings
and the furniture. and last and most
significant, the shelves and shelves OK
books and the tables piled with maya
zines in three languages. Everything
bore the stamp Of quality, everything
had the distinction OF a choice.
Gerry did not let his curiosity carry
him beyond a rapid glance around the
great livlng-room where they found
Lieber, bathed and freshly dressed,
experimenting the making OF Ice In
the latest Ingenious contrlvance for
the pampt ing of the pioneer. "Ice
water in The desert" thought Gerry
and the phrase seemed to him more
than words-it seemed to paint Lie
Der dimly, but as the mind saw him.

Gerry shook his head. Kemp drew
a well-worn wallet from the capacious
inner pocket of his vest and took out
a ragged clipping. One could read in
the glaring moonlight and Gerry
glanced through the printed lines.

GREATER THAN A KING.
The Old Mississippi River Pilot Was .
Law Unto Himself.


In that early day to be pilot was to
be greater than a king" The Missis-
sippi river pilot was a law unto him
self-there was none above him. His
direction of the boat was absolute; he
could start or lay up when he chose;
he could pass landing regardless OF
business there, consulting nobody. not
even the captain; he could take the
boat into what seemed certain destruc-
ton, If he had that mind, and the cap
tain was obliged to stand by, helpless
and silent, for the law was with the
pilot in everything.
Furthermore, the pilot was gentle
man. His work was clean and physic-
ally light. 1t ended the instant the
boat was tied to the landing and did
not begin again until it was ready to
back into the stream; also for those
days his salary was princely-the vice
president of the United States did not
receive more. As for prestige, the Mis-
sissippl pilot perched high in his glass
Enclosure, fashionably dressed and COM

conspicuous and snowy. the most OBJ
served and envied creature in the
world.
No wonder Sam Clemens. with his
love Of the river and his boyish fond
ness for honors, should aspire to that
stately rank. Even at twenty-one he
was still just boy-as indeed he was
till his death-and we may imagine
how elated he was. starting up the
great river as real apprentice pilot
who In a year or two would stand at
the wheel, as his chief was now stand

and all the great river packed away
in his head.--Albert Bigelow Paine in

A great many persons do not thor

overcome this entirely put the propel-
