CHAPTER Xlll—Alan comes back to town but doea not go home. He makes several calls In the city. CHAPTER XlV—Gerry begins to lm» prove Margarita's plantation and build* an irrigating ditch. He climbed a point of rock and gazed around him. Far down to the left gleamed the old plantation house in the midst of its waste lands. His eye followed the long depression and he began to understand many things. The ruin was a young ruin like him self. In itself it contained the seeds of rejuvenescence. It had been robbed of its talisman and its talisman was water. Tons of water flowed past it and left It thirsting for drops. Irriga tion Is coeval with the birth of civiliza tion. It had been here in this depres sion. lived, and passed away before be and the girl were born. He tried to explain to her what once had been, but she shrugged her shoulders. She was not interested; she did not understand. Together they walked back to the house. Gerry was silent and thought ful. He saw a vision of what Fazenda Flores had once been, what work could make it again. The following day he rooted out two rusty spades from the debris in the old mill, fitted new handles to them and took the old darky. Bonifacio by name, off with him to the depression. They began the long task of digging out the silt of years. Day after day, week after week, they clung to the mono tonous work. The darky worked like an automaton. Work in itself to him was nothing beyond the path to food and rest at night. Labor made no de mands on courage—it had no end. uo goal. But Gerry's labor was dignified by conscious effort. His eyes were not in the ditch but on the vision he had seen of what Fazenda Flores might be. He had fixed his errant soul on n goal. The essence of slavery is older than any bonds wrought by man. The white man and the black in the ditch were its parable. Tho dignity and the shame of lahor were side by side, para doxically yoked to the same task. Margarita and her aunt looked on and smiled and joy began to settle on the girl. During Gerry's first restless week she had steeled herself each night to the thought that she would wake to find hlin gone. But now he was taking root. It amused him to dig. Well, let him dig. There was no end to digging. Gerry occasionally varied the work of digging with making some knick knack for the bouse. The twisted limbs of trees became benches to sup plant the rickety chairs, clumsily patched and totally inadequate to his weight. In the same way he made the massive frame of a bed aud Bonifacio remembered an art and filled in the frame with plaited thongs. Work in spires emulation. The women got out their store of cloth. They made clothes for Gerry and fitted out the new bed. Pillows and mattress were stuffed with dry bur-marigolds that faintly scented the whole room. With each achieve ment the somber house seemed to take a step toward gayety. Ruin and dilap idation put forth green shoots. The gayety was reflected in the household. They were united in achievement. Quiet smiles were their reward to each other and sometimes a burst of "wonder as when Gerry found some old bottles and with the aid of a bit of string cut them into serviceable mugs. Margarita was happy. Her cup was full. All the dreams of her girlhood were fulfilled in Gerry. A silent and strange lover, but a man—such a man as she had dreamed of but never seen. To herself she sang the old songs he should have sung to her and then laughed as be nodded mild approval. One evening he sat on a bench on the veranda, fitting a handle into a dipper made of a cocoanut-shell. Mar garita sat on the steps at his feet. She leaned back further and further until she sank against his knees. He stooped over her. She threw up her arms around his neck. locked her hautfs a.ad drew him down, lie klseed her lips and sigbed. "Ah. do not sigh,"' she wailed "Laugh! I.augh but once!" Gerry did not grudge the months of toll in the ditch. As he worked he thought and planned. This ditch was the very real foundation for the attain ment of his vision. Deep and strong and carefully graded It must be be fore he cleared the sand barrier to the river's surge. The ditch was slow of growth but there was something about it which held his faith. It was rugged and elemental. It was the,ugly source of a coming resurrection. When it was all but done he took Margarita and showed her his handi work. He pointed out the little sluice ways, each with its primitive gate, a heavy log hinged on a thole-pin with a prop to hold it up and a stone to weight it when down. On the Fazenda Bide were innumerable little trenches that stretched down Into the valley. But not until he led her to the cleft in the river gorge and showed her that half an hour's work on the sand bar rier would let the river into the great ditch did she understand. And then she caught his nrm and burst into vio lent protest and pleading. "No, no," she cried, "you shall not do it. You shall not let in the river. The river is terrible. You must not play with it. It does not understand. You think it will do as you wish hut it will not. Oh, If you must, please, please play with It below the rapids. There it is kinder. It lets one bathe. It lets one wash clothes." Gerry got over hia astonishment and laughed. Then he soothed her. Al ready the simpler phrases of her ! tongue caine easily from his lips. He ! told her that she was foolish and a little coward. She must watch and see how tame the river would be. The next morning Gerry was up early. He was excited. From thlyday 1 the ditch, the parched slope, the val ley would know thirst no more. With the long dry season even the greon bottoms had begun lo wilt. He called Bonifacio t\ud they started off to their j work. Under direction Bonifacio was dig- ! Sing a great hole .lust at the back of j the sand-bank. Gerry measured its capacity and finally called the old darkey out. Ho jumped down on to 1 the sand-bank himself and dug a small j trench to the water. The river surged , through it gently. Gerry climbed out. ' With each pulse of the come-and-go a ware rushed through the little trench, widening it and occasionally j carrying away a block of the sand bank Into the hole. Gradually, then , in rapid progression, the barrier was leveled. The hole filled with water that rose till it began to trickle down the long length of the ditch. They followed the tiny stream. Soon it came in rushing surges. Hours passed. Boni facio slept, but Gerry had forgotten time. The ditch filled. The water started to flow back into the river. Along all its length the ditch held. Gerry started the sluice gates, the lowest first. The water gur gled out into the main trench and from there was distributed. At first the thirsty soil swallowed it greedily but gradually the rills stretched farther and farther down into the valley. Un der the blazing sun they looked like streams of molten silver and gold. Margarita came running up to them from the house. Gerry put his arm around her and made her face the val ley. Then he looked at the girl and smiled. She smiled back at him but trouble was still in her eyes. Gerry left her to start on the work of fitting the ponderous sluice-gate of hewn logs that he had prepared for the mouth of the great ditch. It was a triumph of ingenuity. He never could have evolved it without the aid of a giant Ironwood wormscrew taken from the wreck of a cotton press. The screw •was so heavy that he and Bonifacio could hardly carry If. At the end of three days the great gate was installed. He and Bouifacio toiled like sailors at a capstan. They drove the heavy barrier down into the •and with a last turn of the screw and shut out tho river. Margarita came and saw and was pleased. Under the broad dome of a mango tree on the banUR of an uunamed Afri can river Alan Wayne had pitched his camp. The Selwyn tent and the pro jecting veranda fly were faded and stained. The bobblnet mosquito cur tains were creamed with age and serv ice. Two camp chairs and a collapsi ble table, battered but strong, were placed before tho tent. Over one of the chairs hung a towel. On the ground squatted a take-down bath tub, half filled with water. In the deep shadow of the tree the pale green rot-proof canvas of the tent, the fly, the chairs and bathtub ••'■••• ' »i>nost white. (To be continued.)
