THE NOVEL OF
! CHAPTER XLtl Continued.
GEimV wns puzzled. Why Bhould AIlx
think he would go to llio club? He
fcanded the butter his old lint and strode
in the library door. The door wns
closed He knocked, somebody said,
Come In." The words were so low ho
hardly hcaid them. He opened tho door,
BWpped Inside nnd closed It behind him.
Xx. dressed In a lllmy blue nnd white
v0U9C.gown. stood In thn middle of the
room. With one hand upial'ed, the other
outstretched, she seemed tu lie poised,
nually ready for advance or flight. Her
fies passed swiftly over Gerry's face,
ifpt searching down to his feet nnd
tack again to his face. Kor weeks sho
tad been wondering. Terrible things had
tome to her mind. Alan nnd Gerry, with
Jils heartless note, had conspired to
mjstlfy. to terrify her. All the Joy she
had looked forward to In Oerry'n home
tomlng had turned Into a bitter pain.
They had not known on tile Hill how
I the was surfcrlntr. Only Kemp had
teemed to unrtei stand n little nnd had
brought his diop of comfort to her,
As her ojes scniched dory tho sense
of impending cnlamlty left her. He was
nell, well as sho had never seen him
tcforc. Bxcept for that ho seemed al
most weirdly familiar, as though only n
rood nlghfs sleep lay between him and
the morning of three ems ago when he
had bullied her until sho had fought
hack and overwhelmed him.
A huiitlied little differences went to
make up this solitary change. The flush
of too many drinks hud given way to
a deep healthj glow, the eyes were deep
nd sravn Instead of deep and vacant,
the broad shouldeis that had taken to
hanging were braced -In unconscious
ttrength. Kvcry line In the body that
the had seen start on the road to groas
dess had been lined down. The body
was no longer n mere abode for a linger
ing spirit It was not the body of a
time-server. Ainu's solo word of com
fort came back to her. "I never thought
the old Rock would ever loom so big."
What force had done this thing to
Grry? She felt a pang, half envy, half
rfmorse. If she had been wise, Icsa than
that, If she had been merely sage, could
he not have saved Gerry to himself
n5 spared her faith the test of the
three long years lost out of their youth?
Gerry stood ' erect by the door, one
hand still holding the knob. Why was
he waiting? Allx's raised hand went
tlowly out to him In welcome but ho did
jiaj: move. She smiled nt him but his
ejoj remained steadfast nnd grave. A
lump rose In Allx's throat and then, as
pride came to her aid, a llaro of color
showed In her cheeks. Her Ips opened.
What could sho say to hurt him enough,
to pay him back for tlilH ;,dded, unjust
rebuff? She knew so little nbout this new
Gtrry. How could she wound him?
And then he spoke. "Will you please
sit down? There aro things I must tell
you."
Gerry had blundered on magic words.
There Is no moment so emotionally tense
that a truo woman will not drop tho Im
mediate Issuo to sit down and listen to
the untold things sho hns wanted to hear.
Allx was a truo woman. Tho flnre died
out of her cheeks. Sho sank Into a chair
beside the dully shining mahogany table
and with a nod of her golden head mo
tioned Gerry to a seat opposite her. Sho
watched tho easy swing of his body as he
moved across the room. Gerry's mind
was in sore conflict, hut a hody In perfect
health has a way of taking care of Itself.
Gerry sat down and gripped tho edge
of the table with outstretched hands. Ho

MORE ABOUT THRIFT
Dear Children Don't you think I have been good not to talk to you
about "thrift" for such a long time? Well, in the meantime, nine of our boys
from the South 8th Street Squad havo ?22 in the bank, as we told you before,
and the Cedar Grove, N. J., Branch of The Rainbow Club has $7 in the
Robert Morris Trust Company, Philadelphia, and the Jefferson Branch has
lent us ?1.50, which is also in the Robert Morris Trust Company.
The accounts are "in trust" and the dear children have really truly bank
books and really truly checkbooks. What DO you think of that?
The first thing you know you will see right here that the Rosewood
Branch has some money in the bank, for it is going to give an entertain
ment at the Comique Theatre at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Gerry slopped. His premise was fin

that nil had been left out. Ho must con
fine himself to mere physical facts, let

fit. as her sympathies and her Justice

groundwork, plain, simple words such ns
he could command, telling the events that
had come upon him nnd how ho had met
them.
Of the trip out he had nothing to say,
but of Pcrnnmbuco he told her In detail.
Somehow it seemed the least ho could do
for tho filthy nnd beautiful city that had
given him nil unquestioning nsyluni. Ho

with that, the brave little Indian maid
dashed through the twilight and tho
trees, straight to the call of the war
whoop. On, on she went, her light
feet scarcely making a rustle on the
carpet of leaves.
"Chief Red Feather does not know,"
she said to herself, "that our white
man is the same man he saw pad
tiling up the river, and, of course, he
docs not know that Kawasha and I
are here to save him."
At last, through the branches of the
trees, she spied the small white tent.
Carefully she approached and hid be
hind a nearby tree. Low mumbles
and grunts told her that, the Indians
were tormenting the white man.
Then, suddenly, a gruff voice sounded
through the evening air. It was Red
Feather himself who spoke:
"We give until sunrise tomorrow;
if you do not give map then, you die.
'Till then you aro bound to a tree;
then death see?"
Horrified, Wanita looked out from
her hiding place. "Bound to a tree!"
the words rang in her ears, for there,
tied tightly to an oak tree, she beheld
her beloved white man.
Sunrise the map her white man
to die! all these things rushed like
a tornado through the bewildered
brain of Vanita.

changing scene. It charmed her lo rest
fulness ns It had Gerry.
She smelt the stneka of pineapples, the
henpod-up mangoes, the frying fish, and
through his eyes she saw the blue skies
dotted Willi white, still clouds and
glimpsed the secret, hlgh-wnlled gardens
with their flaring hibiscus, trailing fuch
sias, fantastic garden coxcombs and
dark-domed mango nnd Jack trees
She sat with Gerry beside the wreck
of a consul, and. later, on the long, slim
coasting craft she listened with him to
the creak of strnlnliig masts and slays
and to the lap of hurrying waters. She
followed him up the San Francisco, felt
nis impatience with T'enedo, took the lit
tle stern-wheeler and learned the fascina
tion of a river with endless, undiscovered
turns. They caino to Piranhas. Hero
she felt herself on familiar ground. Let
ters from the consul's envoy had made
this place hers. Unconsciously she nodded
ns Gerry described the tiers of houses,
the twisted, climbing streets, tho miser
able little inn.
Gerry told of the happy days of pon
derous canoeing nnd of the unvarying
strings of llsh. He lingered over those
days. Thus fnr he bad brought Allx with
him. He felt It. Now he onmo to tho
morning when he must leave her behind.
Ho told her of the pint ions break of thnt
day, of the sun lighting through swirl
ing mists. She saw him standing stripped
on the sandpit. Sho saw the ennoo nos
Ing heavily against tho shore and his
pajamas tossed carelessly, across a
thwart. She knew that sho had come to
the moment of revelation. She breathed
softly lest she should lose a woid, for
Gerry wai speaking very low. Then he
showed her Margarita, Margarita as he
had first seen her, kissing nnd kissed
by dawn.
A hard light came Into Allx's eyes.
Gorry felt himself suddenly alone. He
went doggedly on. He told of the chnse
and tho capture, of how he and the girl
had seen tho canoo drift Into the clutch
of tho eddy nnd swirl out into the river
nnd away. He told her of how they
i.iiigncd, and Allx shrank. Gerry paused,
his hrow puckered. He wished he could
tell In words the bnttlo of his spirit, tho
utter ruin of his downfall. Ho could not,
and Instead ho sighed.
There was something In that sigh so
eloquent of defeated expression that It
succeeded where words might havo failed.
It called to Allx with the strong call of
Helpless things. It drew back her mind
to Gerry. With him nnd the girl she
threaded tho path to K-izenda Florcs.
Its ruin sprang upon her through his
eyes. With him she discovered the traces
of nn ancient ditch, with him ami tho
old darky she dug along that lino through
long, hot months. She met Father Ma
nilas and found nn flaw In Ills logic, sho
grew to know Liebcr ns tho tale went on
and tlnnlly to love him because of nil
things Lleber seemed to need lovo some
body else's love most. Sho amused her
self with Kemp and his drawl. She tried
to keep her thoughts away from Mar
garita, nnd at the coming of Margarita's
boy she winced.
As ho finished telling of tho coming
of tho Man, Gerry stopped short. The
thought ennio to him with tremendous
forco that Allx. too. had gone through
that for him. Tho Impulse to get up nnd
throw himself before her, and on his
knees to thank her almost tore him from
his seat, but he fought it down. He hur
ried on with his story. Ho told of the
coming of Alan nnd of tho revelation he
had brought.
And then In a choked voice and only
because he hnd set himself to tell the

whole truth he pictured the flood, tho
death of Truo Blue nnd the overwhelm
ing by the waters before his very eyes
of Mnrgarlta and the Man. Then he arose
nnd with hands braced on the table
leaned toward Allx. "I have told you all
this so that perhaps you may understand
what I am going to tell you now. If the
flood hnd not come If Margarita nnd tho
Man had lived I would not have como
back."
Allx sat very still and studied Gerry's
face. He had finished the task ho had sot
himself to do nnd ho was suddenly very
tired. His eyes dropped ns though from
their own weight nnd then he raised them
again to her Inscrutnblo face.
"Well?" he asked after a long pause.
"Well?" replied Allx.
Gerry's stnlwnrt figure dropped. "It Is
quite Just," he said, "after all that, that
you should not want me. I havo spent
tho last weeks making myself rendy for
that. You waited for me. I didn't wait
for you. If you do not want me t will go
nwny."
Allx rose slowly to her feet. She looked
very slim nnd tall In her clinging gown.
To Gerry she looked very cold. "Bofore
you go," sho said, "there Is Just ono
thing, t wish you would kiss me once."
Gerry's body straightened nnd stiffened.
He stnred nt her grave faco with won
dering eyes. Then he felt n Btrange tin
gling rlpplo through his blood nnd before
he knew what he did he had swept her
from her feet, crushed her to him, brushed
tho crown of hull- back from her brow
and kissed her eyes, her mouth, her
throat, lie wns rough with her. Ho was
bruising her body, her lips, but Allx clung
to him and laughed. Then suddenly nil
her slim body lelnxed and slipped through
his arms to a little whlto heap on the
floor. Sho began to sob. Gerry stooped
down, picked her up tenderly nnd laid
her on the great leathern couch. Ho knelt
besldo her. On ono arm ho pillowed her
bend, with the other hand he sought
hers. "Please. Allx," ho begged, "please
don t cry.
"I'm not crying," sobbed Allx, "I'm
laughing."
Gerry smiled nnd wnlted. Soon Allx be
camo quiet. Her eyea closed. She drew
a long, quivering breath and then bIic
opened her eyes ngnln nnd her lips broke
Into the old dear smile, the smllo of nn
opening flower. "I am tired tired," sho
said, "but I bcllevo I'm almost hungrier
than I am tired."
"I'm glad you said It first," replied
Gerry, giving serious thought to the fact
thnt ho was faint with hunger himself.
"Ever since somo funny Johnny wrote
'feed tho brute' we men have been shy
nbout echoing our stomachs. It's
o'clock. Hours after lunch time."

retattna to matters of etiquette, it has
been decided lo open n column in
which queries o this kind mat bo nn
steered. The column is edited under a pscu
rfonjni; bn( (( Is, nevertheless, edited
6j an authority on social conventions,
who is prepared to answer clearly,
carefully and conclusively any query
which may br propounded.
Good form queries should bs ad'

The question of paying calls when new
residents move Into n neighborhood wns
agitated yosterdny. Perhaps n few re
marks on this matter may be of Interest.
An old custom exacts calling on new
neighbors within a few weeks of their nr
rival In n now home, tn the suburbs of
n city this rule Is very strictly adhered to,
nnd It Is considered nn Intentional rude
ness If this llttlo courtesy Is not compiled
with. In the caso of two families moving
Into n neighborhood nt nbout the same
time, tho younger woman should call III at
on the older. It Is never necessnry to
pursuo theso friendships If neighbors do
not prove congenial, but It In well to bo on
polite terms with nil.
Gown for Dansnnt
Dear Deborah Rush Will you plcaso

It Is proper to wear either a RUlt with

course. If you aro to receive, n moro dressy
gown Is In vogue. At present tho custom
Is to wear evening frocka In tho nfternoon

Theatre Etiquette
Dear Deborah I'ush Hy what rule of
etiquette or conventionality In n man per
mitted to put on his hat nt tho close of a
play and march out of a theatre, ns If he
were out of doors? This Is n common
occurrence In this city; rather It Is unusual
to seo a man that does keep his hat off
until he Is outside.
Is It thnt Philadelphia men nro par
ticularly disrespectful to tho women, or Is
It n country-wide custom In America? In
Europo n man who would put his hat on

of women would bo ostracised.

A Case of Logic
Dear Deborah Jlush Why dld'nt you
tell Iconoclast In this evening's Ledger
to apply his "reasoning" to his own posl
Hon? Ho thinks if a lady becomes n "suf
raglst" she ceases to bo a lady. Why Is
It not true thnt when a man becomes an
"antlsuffrnglst" ho ceases to bo a gentle
man, when he forgets to net as a gentle
man should by observing the time-honored
custom of showing respect to tho opposite
sex at till times, in all places? M. K.

Perhaps Iconoclast will see this and
take It to heart.
