A Novel

(Copyright by the Century Co.)
—— -
Gerry's first impulse *as to say he
would stay, but he (suddenly remem
bered Margarita. How far away from
life she seemed! Alan and Margarita
could not crowd into one day or even
into one world—it was against the or
der of things. But facts do uot stand
on the order of their coming, they sim
ply come, and against the protest of
man's will they present his fate
against the cry of the troubled and
displaced soul they voice the eternal
J'y suis, J'y reste of inanimate things.
One cannot go around a fact One
must either break one's head against
It or swallow it and let it take Its
course through the mental gorge.
Gerry longed to stay by Alan's side,
and through his returning conscious
ness, as through a magnifying glass,
gaze upon the world he had foresworn
—the heritage he had abandoned. But
the fact of Margarita and her boy
suddenly declared Itself—demanded
digestion—and Gerry turned his back
on Alan. He mounted, atid with the
silent Kemp reversed the drive they
had made together months before.
Lieber did not go with them. When
he had seen them off, he busied him
self giving orders for the tidying up
of the veranda, the feeding of Alan's
convoy, beast and man, and the prepa
ration of a room for the self-invited
guest. From the pile of dusty pillows
a servant was picking up. fell a board.
Lieber glanced down at it. Words
were cut roughly but clearly into its
surface. They spoke to him. They
held his eyes. He stooped laboriously
and picked up the board. He took it
into his private room, propped it up
against some books on the table and
sat before it with his face dropped
in his hands. To his closed eyes the
words seemed no longer carved in
wood.' Against the inward darkness
of his brain they shone out in points
of light. He could not shut them out.
"Qui de nous n'a pas eu sa terre
promise, son jour d'extase, et sa fin en
exil?"
At sundown Lieber came out to his
patient. He had him moved, settle
and all, into a room whose windows
opened upon the veranda. Lieber sat
beside him and nursed him through the
long, hot night. To the deftness of
bis hand had been added tenderness,
and Into his face a new determination
had come—a resolve to win Alan's
battle for him whatever the odds.
Gerry did not sleep that night. He
lay on the little extra bed he had made
Upon his son's arrival and, propping
himself on his elbow, gazed around
him. The moon shone through great
cracks in the warped shutters and
filled the room witb a glow that, as his
eyes dilated, became a revealing light.
In one corner was an iron wash-stand
with its vessels of coarse enameled
metal, a recent purchase. In another
corner stood a grotesque clothes-rack.
It looked like a young pine with irreg
ular branches and top lopped off. On
the stubs or pegs hung his clothes and
Margarita's and. on the lowest peg of
all, the Lilliputian garments 0 f the
Man. The floor was bare and rolling,
for the boards, roughhewn from hard
wood giants of the forest, had warped
steadily through many years. In its
center stood the great rustic bed that
Gerry had made from ,the twisted
limbs of trees and Bouifacio had plait
ed with thongs. By raising himself
to the full length of his arm Gerry
could see Margarita lying uncovered
on the coarse, yellowish homespun.
On her bare, brown arm lay the black
head of her son.
Gerry shuddered at the nearness—
the familiarity—of everything. The
Beams of elementary life stood out bru
tally. For the tirst time he saw them.
From the touch of the coarse homespun
that covered him, his mind went back
to the feel of Lieber's fine linen, and
from that it poised on Alan and then
flew back to Allx—Alix, who. seen
through the years, became doubly ethe
real and flowerlike. Where was Alix?
What had Alan done with her? He '
must ask him. That, at least, he must
know. Rut before he could ask he j
must decide about Margarita and steel j
himself to his purpose. He thought of j
the long, still days at Fazenda Flores I
before Alan had come to Lieber's—the !
struggle and the reward that had been j
his—and the firmness in him, the
steadfastness that had led Alan to j
name him The Rock, rose up in de
fense of Margarita and her son.
Gerry was up early. As he was '
saddling True Blue Margarita came on
to the veranda. "Where art thou go- |
lng?" she askbd.
Gerry looked up. He was a j
little pale from the wakeful night |
and there were slight shadows under j
his eyes. "1 am going to Lieber's. i
There is \I; man Ihere—he is flying j
and I nij \ leip. He is my fellow- j
I countryman *
I Margarita's »ves searched his face. |
Her bosom ri \ and fell rapidly. "Do |
not go." she said, and Gerry started at 1
the passion In her voice.
He looked at her and smiled. "I !
must see this man before he dies," he
said, half to himself.
"Ab," said Margarita, beating with
her little brown fist on the veranda pll- j
lar, "I know. I know. It is not death
' that calls thee. Why should one turn
from things that live to fondle death? j
| It is the stranger thou wouldst see."
Gerry dropped the reins of his horse.
: and, hurrying up the steps, took Mar
j garita in his arms.
"And why not. iny beloved? It is !
■ not a woman I go to see. but a man. \
i Shall I not talk with a man that la
I at death's door?"
"Let hiin but die." pleaded Marga
| rita; "let him but die and thou shalt j
go and bury him. See. the day is
j beautiful. There is a cloud. Perhaps ;
i it will rain. Come, my Geree. let us |

bare toes. He will laugh."
Gerry smiled but shook his head.
"Tomorrow, my beloved, tomorrow we
shpJ! play with the Man and the river."
Margarita's arms fell to her sides
in pathetic surrender. She watched
Gerry mount and ride slowly up the
slope to the bridge where Kemp await
ed him. Then she went back to the
veranda steps, sat down and wept
with her face hidden in her hand. She
did not know why she wept, but she
knew she wept for things that were
going to be.
Alan was struggling back from coma.
He muttered, he talked, he awoke.
Lieber found his sunken eyes, the pu
pils appearing almost concave, fixed
on him with a seeing gaze. It was like
resurrection. A spirit had come down
upon the body. Eye to eye, mouth to
mouth, heart to heart, it had given
sight, breath, life.
The eyes closed. Lieber hurried
away. From the kitchen he brought
a bowl of broth. It was steaming and
filled the room with an odor of rich
essence. It was tn itself a concentra
tion of life. The bowl was emptied.
Alan sank back into the clllows. His
ejes -wandered wistfully over the bare
walls, the high tiling of the strange
room. "'I would have, great gods! but
one short hour of native air—let me
but die at home,'" he murmured, and
Lieber heard.
The words clutched at his own heart,
but he answered cheerfully, "You shaH,
] my boy, you shall die at home if you
j like, but you're going to have years to
think it over. Sleep, that's the word.
I And sleep it is," he added to himself
' as Alan's eyes closed and bis chest be
gan to rise and fall in healthy breath
ing. Lieber held his wrist. The pulse
was taking on strength.
Alan was still sleeping when Gerry
| arrived. Lieber looked up, surprised,
I "You've come all the way back from
Fazenda Flores?"
Gerry nodded. "How is he? Has
j he come to, yet?"
"Yes," 8a id Lieber in a low. modu
lated tone. "He came to, all right. But
the fight's not over yet. Fever goes
I and comes, you know. If another par- j
oxysm seizes hiin, he'll nat have the ;
| strength to pull through. It's a ques- j
: tion of hours now."
"You've been up all night," said Ger
ry. "Go and lie down for a while. I'll
call you if anything happens."
Lieber rose reluctantly. "Don't fall
to call me," he said. "I'll leave my
door open."
