CHAPTKn XXXIII
IT WAS with somo mlsglvlnfrs that
Kemp left Alan at tho coast. Alan
was still very weak. Kemp stood, more
Inconnruous than ever, against the rail of
the little coaster bound for Pernambuco
and eyed Alan whom he had made com
fortable In n camp bed on the deck.
"It seems to me, Mr. Wayne," ho said,
that there moiiRht ho business waltln'
fer me nt Pernambuco thct I do'n know
nothln about. I've Rot a hunch I'd best
ro along of voti and seo."
Alan smiled. "I know what your hunch
Is, Kemp, and lt'n n wrong one. I'm nil
right. Weak, but I'll mako It. Don't
worry."
Kemp wns stnndlng In nngles. His
hands were thrust In his trousers pockets
but even so his elbows wcro crooked. One
foot wns raised on n rail. He was coat
less as usual. His imbottoned vest stuck
out behind. His Stetson hat wnn pulled
well down over his eyen. His eyes hnd
taken on tho far-away nnd slightly
luminous look that nlwnys came Into
them when he wns about to speak from
the heart.
"Mr. Wayne," ho said, "I've lol' you
some things about Uebor an' you've seen
some more. You know how he stands.
Mober's llvln' In hell, like the rich greaser
In tho Bible with his tonguo stuck out
bcRgln' for one drop nf water, only Lleber
hain't Rot his tunguo stuck out he'ii
bitln' It."
Kemp paused nnd Alan nodded.
"I was thlnkln'," Kemp continued, "thct
perhaps you'n Mr. Lapsing with yo' folks
hc'pln1 mought chuck him thnt drop d'
water when you get back to Heaven,
mcatiln' N'oo Ynwk." Kemp brought his
eyes slowly around and rested them on
Alan.
"Kemp," snld Alan, "don't you worry.
If J Y. Wnyno & Co. haven't gone to
smash or tho world otherwise come to an
end, you can be suro Lleber will get hla
water In a full bucket."
Kemp nodded nnd with n "S'long and
good luck," disappeared down the gang
way. At Pernambuco Alan found nn Accum
ulation of mall awaiting him nnd a liner
bound for home. The liner was too big
to get Into tho little harbor behind tho
reef. Sho rode the swell :i mllo out from
shore.
Alan lost no tlmo In making his trans
fer. From the tender he was winched up
to tho deck In a passenger basket As ho
left tho wicker coop ho smiled nt himself
In disgust Ten Pet cent Wayne hnd often
Jumped for n gangway from tho top of n
(lying sea; never beforo hnd ho Rono

left his face. Ho reeled nnd put one hnnd
toward n rail. Somebody caught his nrm
nnd led him to a long chair. He sank
Into it and shivered.
It was n girl that had helped him As
hoon as sho saw ho was not going to

Day after day Alan lay In hlH cabin,

houso again to the back fence. There
was Thomas; and there was tho moon,
bright and beautiful, shining over
head. How Thomas did serenade tho
moon! Ho sang and sang until Gin
ger thought he, too, would sing a
little.
Such a terriblo noiso as those two
did make, screeching and barking!
"Scat!" yelled Ginger's master, out
of tho top window, nnd an old shoe
aimed at Thomas landed right on
Ginger's nose.
"Ki, yi! ki yil" howled Ginger, as
ho scooted around the house under
the porch.
The very next night, when Thomas
was telling Dobbin, the horse, about
the serenade, Ginger stole quietly into
the barn. My, how he did surprise
Thomas! at least Thomas told Mrs.
Tabby so tho very next night.

sounds of a great ship nt sea were sud
denly dumb. To his enrs came Instead
tho caroling of birds In evening song after
rain, to his eyes a, vision of Bed Hill
dripping light from Its myriad leaves,
and to his heart tho protecting, brooding
shelter of Mnple House of home.
It cleanses n man's soul to have been
nt death's door. Sickness, more thnn love,
leads a man up. Alan wan feeling
cleansed like a llttlo child so that It
seemed a quite natural thing that the girl
who had taken chargo of him on his
arrival on board should knock at his door
nnd then wnlk In She drew out a camp
stool and sat down beside him.
She wns very small and very young,
not In years, but with whnt AInn termed
to himself acquired youth. Her near
sighted eyes peered out through big
glasses They rcemed to see only when
they made a special effort, and yot thoy
Beemed to give out light.
"You are better?" sho asked nnd
smiled.
AInn caught his breath at that smile.
"Yes," he said, "I nm much better todny.
I have had a letter from home."
"You must get up now nnd como up
on deck," said tho girl. "I'll wait for you
outside." Her Voice had n peculiar
modulation. It attracted and soothed the
car.
Alan frowned nnd then smiled. "All
right " he said, "wait for me." Ho
dressed laboriously. His hands seemed
weighted.
On deck she had his chnlr ready for
him beside her own. She tucked his
rug about him nnd then snt down. "Don't
talk ever, unless you wnnt to," sho said.
"Sltent people nre best."
"Why?" asked Alan.
"They are springs. Their souls bubble."
"And tho people that chatter?" asked
Alan.
"They nre gcjscrs," snld tho Rlrl nnd
smiled.
Alan was entertained almost amused.
"Whnt do you do when a geyser spouts?"
he asked.
"What do you do?" replied tho girl.
"1 tun."
"I'm nfrald I haven't run always," snld
AInn. "I generally try to clap a tin
lint on them."
"You must be strong to do that. I'm
not very strong."
Alan glanced over her frail body. "What
are you?" ho asked. ,
"I'm a missionary. At least, I was a
missionary. I've hnd to Rive It up. Ono
needs so much to be n missionary."
"I never thought of It thnt way." said
Alan. "I always thought that It wns
tlin people that wcro unlit for almost
anything else that turned to mlsslonary
iiiR as a Inst tesort."
"Oh, no!" said the Rlrl, sitting up very
straight In her chair nnd fixing her eyes
on his face. "How wrong you aro! MIs
slonnrylng, as you call It, Is Just another
nntno for giving, and how can one give a
great deal unless ono has a great deal
to Rive strength and youth and vitality?"
"And you have Riven nil?" nsked Alan.
Tho girl's eyes tilled.
"No, you haven't given all," went on
Alan quickly. "You ore still giving. I
must not borrow your last mite. But
your voice Is like a nurse's h"nd."
When Alan went to hed he .ould not
sleep. For a while tho llttlo missionary
gill held his thoughts. Ho was filled
with wonder, not nt her, but at himself.
For once In his llfo he had not been
flippant beforo grave things.
From tho girl his thoughts turned to
Altx. He could have cabled to her about
Gerry from Pernambuco, but ho hnd not

ing for Oerry wns light only ifhnlf sheet
probably. Tho lightness of It told Al.in
that the things Oerry hnd to say to his
wife could not be put on paper. Alan
had almost cabled.. Now ho was glad
he hart not done so. "Allx," ho said to
himself, "Isn't waiting, sho's trusting. A
cable would hnve lengthened wnltlng by
a month."
Then, without volition, his mltnfc
wandered from Allx and raced uhead to
the goal of his Journey. What was tho
goal of his Journey? AVhlthcr wns ho
bound?
He reached for Clem's letter nnd held it
In folded hands. Ho had no need to rend
It ngnln. The words wcro nothing; tho
picture wns nil. It stretched beforo his
mind, a living canvas.
Once when AInn wns wandering with
nn Englishman In the hills nbovc Gra
nnda, n faint odor hnd brought them to
n sudden hnlt. It wns tho llngllshman
who nintle the surprising discovery first. ,
"Blackberries, by Jove!" ho hnd ex- ,
claimed. "Good old blackberries." And .
then tney two nnn siooa wkcuici, )
half a world npart, and stared long nt the
berry-laden bush, wnnt vision oi a ran
gled. hlgh-walled garden burst upon tho
Englishman Alan never knew, but to
himself hnd come n memory of Last
Mountain In autumn, bo clear, so poig
nant, thnt It hnd bi ought hla throbbing
henit Into his throat.
It wns so now with Clem's letter. The
words wcro but a hurried daub, but they
touched his eyes with n. magic wand.
The daub became a scene, a picture, n
world his world.
Red Hill was spread out beforo him. a
texture where the threads and colors of
life wcro blended Into a carpet soft but
enduring. Men walked nnd little children
played on It. AInn closed hla eyes and
sighed. Whnt had he been doing with
life? Making sncklns? Sacking wns com
mercial. It paid In ensh. It was the na
tional Industry. But what could one do
with sacking on Red Hill?
Then, almost suddenly, the full spirit
of Clem's letter seized him. One did not
take gifts to Red Hill. To every ono of
i. i,nrnr. rt,i Hill wns ti.e source or
nil gifts the source of life. On thnt
thought ho slept.
When ho wns bnck onco more In nis
i .k Cn.Wl.ann hnd bad time tO

to Allx to Red Hill and Dent SwithBon
out to post It. He did not try to temper
the shock of the note with n covering
letter. He was too weak and tired. He
side, ho felt that the note carried its own
antidote to Joy.
CHAPTER XXXIV.
THU next morning a message came by
hand to Alan'a looms. Allx had come
...n Dnii .iiahri to rpa hltn at once.
Would he please come around? He re
plied that ho was too in. nan un nuur
i- c.iHtiian,, niiAwerpfl n rlncr nt the
door and Allx slipped quickly past him
into Alans, sitting room. ino
flush of nnger In her checks, but Alun
was plensed to see no tiace oi icuro in

touched him on the raw and seiaom
awakened his pity.
A sleht of him Allx forgot hr con

cried, "what is tne matter i

any mistake. I'm a resurrection In the
bud. Doing line. I don't have to ask
how you are. You're well. You're look
ing Just as well ns a little slip like you
can ever look Sit down, do."
Allx's thought went back to herself and
Immediately the flame burned again In
her cheeks. She pulled Gerry's crumpled
note from her glove and tossed It open
on the table before Alan. He read the
two or three lines In which Gerry told
her he would arrive shortly. Tho brief
note was Intentionally colorless. "Well?"
he asked.

Peace League Against Military Train
ing in Schools
The Patriotic Peace League last night
announced It would combat military train
ing In the public schools.
A mass-meeting may be held to com
bat the "preparedness" move, and repre
sentatives of the combined peace organi
zations will file a formal protest in the
matter with the school authorities.
History, the peace organization says,
shows that military training In the
sshools has been a failure wherever tried.
"England and France have tried It and
given It up aa of no value. After the
Franco-Prussian war of JS79-71, with a
real enemy menacing Ita safety, France
adopted school drill. For SO years the
French experimented, changed, tried
anew, and finally aold at auction the ex
pensive equipment which they had ac
cumulated because the training It was
possible to give was valueless."
