He was designing a new Amer.
lea here in the foothills of the
Ozarks. "We're starting It now"
he went on. 1.-THE government Is
doing its level best to take these
poor people off their submarginal
lands and put them in new homes
and get them started down the
road to true economic independ-
ence. Hundreds of others are GO
ing down the path themselves. In
this one country there are 5S5
more families on small farms than
there were in 1880. I'd say that
rs per cent of the more intelligent
ones are making it go. I can teach
them how to farm a good deal
easier than I can how to become
good business men Unless we
move folks from cities back to the
land we're going to be in a con-
tinually worse shape in this coun-
try. And for the future of our
land we've got to put poor tenant
farmers and people on sub-margi-
nal lands on little tracts where
they can earn their own living and
become good citizens
A hundred miles othe south
and east in Arkansas a shrewd old
man in a country store repeated
much the same thing. "A man
here on 20 acres can live WE'LL"
he said. with q COW or two and
Strawberries and a little orchard
of Alberta peaches and $50 chick
ems and his own garden, say, he
can be independent.
But people are gettin' terrible
lazy. Why some of the folks on
relief here amt even botherin' to
put in garden. There's SO much
spendin' on relief, that I'm gettin'
scared. I reckon Roosevelt will
get reelected. but / don't care
near as much fer hi mas did a
couple years ago. He's blowing
too much money"

 And then he was gone. Leaving her alone with her tortured mind at the rail, standing there in state of torpor, sharp spray flashing in her face and blending with her tears.
 She stood there, she was vaguely aware, only @ short time, yet 1t seemed ages. Ages for her to go over the happy days she had lived and to think of the happiness in store for her with Paul. To think of all of the ironies of life. Of Terry's startling return.
 A cry of man overboardl" Q fearful, frantic shout caused her to grip the rail in sheer horror. She heard the scuffle of feet racing along the deck, loud bell ring and whistle of the liner blast tragicaily.
 It was like dagger thrust in her heart, with savage pain lingering and death coy. And again that terrifying cry as the ship plowed through surging seas.
 Suddenly the black shadows that cloaked the seething, angry waters were conquered by a dazzling burst of sunlight that split a golden radiance like brilliant metal upon the seas.
 Slowly, weakly, she moved towards Paul's cabin, her lips, moist, tremb- ling, formed in the word officially" Copyright, 1885,

It was Terry. Terry whom she hadn't seen in six, long and lone- some years. Terry whom nobody ever quite understood in his life time. The Terry who had deserted her six years ago for reasons, too, Mearna never quite understood.
 Now he stood at the decks rail just few feet away from her Huddled in a topcoat, hat slouched down over the corner of an eye. But 1t was Terry. And his presence was 0 distinct shock to Mearna. Here he was after all these years, alive dramatically, yes, almost tragically alive, she told herself.
 Though in quick flight sped over the years. Back to the times sev- eral years after Terry had so un- gallantly left her without warning or explanation. Back to the time when the British government Q few years after his departure had offi- cially reported him slain in Q princes war in India.
 A sudden wave of giddiness swept over Mearna as she thought of Paul. Paul, her husband of a week, the charming, gallant Paul who had all of the virtues Terry lacked. Paul, who slumbered peace fully in his cabin at the moment.
 Of course Terry might turn at any moment and see her. There was no chance of running off, of escape. He must have known that she was on the ship.
 Then before she was aware of 1t Terry was beside her. She was dimly conscious of the touch of his hand on her shoulder. His voice when he did speak seemed to come to her from Q great distance and through heavily yelled mists, mists that failed to screen the anguish and pain and hope in his empty tones.
 "Mearna," he uttered hollowly. There was penitence in his voice. For the first time, she saw Terry the moody, the incorrigible, the little boy, really, truly sorry for something he had done. It was all so fantastic to Mearna.
 "Terry," she answered. Her voice quavered as she uttered the words You're dead, Terry officially" Then scalding tears choked her.
 officially" Terry repeated duly.
 For a moment there was silence as they stood and looked ct each other.
 You haven't changed, Mearna. You're still as beautiful as ever."
 He stopped, irresolute, at @ loss to go on.
 "It's such Q shock, Terry" she said haltingly. T hardly know what to say"
 "Oh, Mearna," he half sobbed. I've been such fool. don't know why I've done such things. I can't explain 1t. I've been so cruel to you--to myself"
 But we'll have to be gay about 1t, Terry. I've emarried-and now this. You're coming back to life, as 1t were. Don't you see.. It's all so terrible"
 They stood there for @ time, si- lent just gazing out ct the seas as the liner plowed Its way through the water.
 Suddenly the sea seemed to have gone black. Dense clouds darkly caprisoned the waters in an ominous cape of black. Gloomy, menacing swells ran the deck awash with the nightmare of Terrys spectral return.
 Then @ more lucid moment to Mearna. Terry would understand. He would have to understand. Those six, sad years of being alone. Wait- ing, just waiting for him, until she had been informed of his alleged

 When she spoke Terry listened never taking his worn-out eyes from her. Her eyes flooded with hot tears that coursed down her face and over tremulous lips that tried to utter words.
 You will take care of divorce proceedings when we disembark, of course" Mearna requested.
