They did not speak. They were nervous. Kemp made a cigarette, puffed at it once or twice and then threw It away, to roll another a mo ment later. His thoughts were wing ing away to the fork of Big and Little Creek where a three-room shack stood in the shadow of the White mountains of New Mexico. He had thought it small, miserable, cramped. But out here in the wilderness, thousands and thousands of miles awny, it came back to his vision, glorified. A swelling came Into his throat. He tried to cough it up. But as long as he thought of the mountain, the thickness stuck in his throat. He took from his pocket a treasured cake of tobacco and with strong teeth tore off a generous por tion. Then he rose and walked off to the corral. sat on alone. Thoughts were troubling him, too. What, was he do ing here? Who was this Margarita that had twined herself into his life? Was it his life? And her little boy— black-haired, black-eyed, olive-tinted— he was his boy. too. He-was Gerry Lansing's son. No, not that—not Ger ry Lansing's. Gerry Lansing belonged to a time that was far away, to a hill where white houses with green blinds peered out from the darkness of domed maples, from the long shadows of up-pointing firs and from the eaves of flaring elms, the wine-cups of heav en. A sigh came quivering through all his body and escaped from his trem bling lips. "I am alone," he breathed to himself. Deep in South America, on the I ragged fringe of the outskirts of prog ress, Alan Wayne was pushipg a long bridge across a dried-up watercourse.

HARRISBURG ffS££& TELEGRAPH He was sick, tired, disgusted, over and over again be bad grumbled to McDougai that it was a Job for a ma eon and McDougai had patiently an swered, "I'm the mason, Mr. Wayne. Do you lie bye a wee and gle the fever a chance to get out of the body." But AlaD stuck jealously to his Job. Ten Percent Wnyne might retire on ids iaurels but he could never be beaten. Every third day the fever In his bones seized his body In a grip that could not be denied, shook it till it rat tled and cast it down limp, cold and Lot, teeth chnttering and then clenched, and then chattering again. But on the' days between Alan made up for the lapse. He became a devil hanging on the backs of his men and driving them to superhuman efTorts. Terror held them. They were Italians, far from home. A wilderness stretched between them and the sea. The sea it self was none of theirs; it was but an added barrier. A madman had them in thrall. Terror drove them. It was a race to finish the bridge before he killed them. "I am going to be sick," he bad told them in cold, rapid words, "I am going to be sick, but before I'm finished the bridge is finished or—" He 6tniled and made a gesture with his hand to show how be would brush them all off into the dry gorge. His smile terrified more than the raised hand. The giant gang-boss, McDougai. stood by and nodded solemn confirma tion. When Alan was ill by day, Mc- Dougai left him and drove the men in his stead, but when the hour for knock ing off came with the sudden eclipse of the sun by the horizon, he hurried to Alan's tent, fished him out from some corner on the floor, wrapped him in blankets, dosed him with quinine, tempted him with poor, weak broths and nursed him, unprotesting, through the night. McDougai had followed Alan into strange lands and strange places and seen him in many a deep hole, and through It all Alan had been the same —a purring dynamo at work. He had been the same until this trip into the Brazilian wilderness, and here a change had come over him. There were times when he talked and what he said was* "No more trips for me, McDougai. I'm a consulting engineer, from this on." McDougai had heard more than one man talk like that under fever and he frowned, trying to remember one of them that had ever come back. Alan was inured to river fever. He had fought it often, and when he saw the fetid pools of stagnant water in the dried-up watercourse he knew he would have to fight it again. Some how, some night, a mosquito was bound to get at him, and the fever would begin. He doubled his preven tive dose of quiulue, but he could not double his spirits for the battle. He came to the field with a gnawing at those sources of health, a calm mind and sure sleep. Sleep did not come as of old after the day's work. In stead he tossed and twisted on his narrow cot and finally would turn on the electric torch to read two letters over and over again. One he read with a curl of the lip. It was from a pretty woman that had fluttered into his life and out. He had forgotten her and now she had come back to buzz words in his buzzing ears. She said, "It costs a woman to learn that happiness is not really tangible. Between being fortunate and happy a gulf is fixed. I was not miserable—and stood on the brink of the gulf. Happiness brushed me with its wings. I reached out to catch it and the gulf took me. How long will it be before I climb back to the height that seemed not so very high when I possessed it? I don't know ... Ido not hate you—only myself. You have known many wom en, but you have not known me. That is the bitter part. You do not know what I gave you. One thing I ask you and the words as I write are blurred with tears like my eyes—if ever a foolish woman, honest and true as I was, offers you the same sacrifice, do not take it. I have suffered for all the women you will meet." "Fool," said Alan to himself, "fool, not to see that I tlirned her wish washy weakness into strength and loosed a dumb tongue." And then he drew out the other let ter and the curl In his lip straightened out to a line of sweetness and the light in his eyes turned fo r. fiery, blind adoration. The letter had 1 been sent? to him. sealed, by J. Y., wtio had ac companied it with a note. . The letter began. "To my boy at Thirty," and signed, "With undying : live, ywur friend and Mother." In lifti'-he coufi not remember his mother,, bat be saw her now in three pages ;of laboring words traced by a dying liaiid. In her self, dying at thirty, she had jjeen her boy revealed. She hadi had no strength—no time—left for sliw ap proaches. With th first words of her letter she laid - cooline lined on bis burning soul. She spoke the ail-seeing wisdom of death. Sh< :ield bttn Close to her heart and fed him wlthjher life's blood. Ail that she had ill that she bad learned, all that she .fvesaw, was crowded into those three pages. (To Be Continued.)
