into his private room, propped 1t up
against some books on the table and
sat before it with his face dropped
in his hands. To his closed eyes the
words seemed no longer carved in

OF light. He could not shut them out.

and into his face a new determination
had come-a resolve to win Alan's
battle for him whatever the odds.
Gerry did not sleep that night. He
lay on the little extra bed he had made
upon his sons arrival and, propping
himself on his elbow, gazed around
him. The moon shone through great
cracks In the warped shutters and
filled the room with a glow that, as his
eyes dilated, became a revealing light.

Lieber, with Gerry and Kemp, sat in
the shade of the veranda, smoking after
the midday meal. The stock had been
corralled, but. on Kemp's advice, the
start for Fazenda Flores was to be
made halfway through the afternoon.
There was to be a great moon that
night and the drive would be robbed Of
the perils of darkness to cattle as well
as OF the horrible heat.
The three were silent, half somno-
lent, when a passing herder grunted
and pointed westward with his chin.
Lieber stood up and looked. A pillar
Of dust was coming across the desert.
He could see men riding and some
thing else. He took his field glasses
from a peg and looked again. 'Fu-
neral, or a sick man." he said and sat
down to wait. Kemp started whiting
to keep himself awake. Since the hour
Of Lieber's confession he had hardly
spoken.
When the cavalcade came within
easy view Gerry stood up and watched.
He could not hide his curiosity like
Lieber anG Kemp. In front of the
horses came four men bearing a sag
ging hammock on a pole. They were
running in quick, springy steps that
made the hammock sway gently from
side to side. The pace they kept up
under the burden was marvellous.
They were followed closely by eight
horsemen. At the first signs of falter-
ing among the bearers, four Of the
riders would throw themselves of
their ponies and run under the pole.
The change OF relay was made without
a stop, without a pause. The freed
ponies stood with hanging heads and
straddled legs. Even from a distance
one could see that the burdened men
haA run the wlry little beasts or their
feet. They were all In, but the men
were still erect-keen. With a final
cpurt the cortege drew up before the
veranda. Lieber stood up. dead or

With a look OF relief Lieber went

Confidence.

Why does this country tend always
to belittle its wealth, its works, its
men and it's power to meet calamity?
1t does, and yet we are thought to be
people unembarrassed by modesty.
Yankee boastfulness is n proverb in
the world, but no Yankee ever told
quite all the truth. He never dared,
and besides, he could not make him
self believe the whole length and depth
and breadth of il. Distrusting their
own judgment, the American people
lack confidence in their great estate.
Their temperament is rich in daring
faith and optimism, but poor in conf
dence, which is a quality that comes
with time. a young people perhaps
should not have II. 1t is not good to
have everything.-NewY York Times.
