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

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
