CHAPTER XXIIT—AIan is carried to
Lteber's fazenda, almost dead, and Gerry |

Lieber nodded listlessly. "I'll look
out for them."
The next morning early Gerry saw
liitn off. There was a wistful look in
the old man's eyes as from the top
of the cliff he turned and gazed down
the river. "Lieber," said Gerry, "you
can count on me to do what I can for
you when I get home. Do you under
stand?" '
Lieber flushed. Their eyes met. He j
took Gerry's outstretched hand and
gripped it hard. Then he rode away
without a word.
Lieber threw his horse into a rapid
rack that was faster than a gallop. It
was a killing pace, but ho knew the j
mettle of his mount. Late in the after
noon he came to the confines of his
ranch. The broad-eaved bouse in the j
distance looked very still and deserted, j
Beyond it loomed the solitary joa tree. '
Something had happened to the joa
iree during the two days he had been
away. It had become a beacon. He
remembered the giant Bougainvillea !
vine that covered the tree. The Bou- '
gainvillea had bloomed into a tower
of mauve flame. It stood out in dar- |
Ing contrast to somber desert and j
brown-tiled roofs. Its single, defiant
and blaring note struck an answering
chord in Lieber's heart. He took cour
age of that brave burst of color, so
jarring in a garden, but in a desert a
thing of glory. Lieber passed into the
loneliness of his deserted house with
a firm step.
Gerry spent many days at Piranhas !
as he had planned in thought. He
went over his life in a painstaking ;
-etrospectlon. His mind lingered long j
on the last three years, their fullness, !
their even upward trend. Could a man
live three such years and lose them? j
In a ghastly half hour the flood had j
wiped out the tangible results of I
three yetirs of labor. But what pbout
the intangible? He had sinned against !
Alix and against her faith, but had he !
sinned against himself? He felt infl- j
nitely older than the first Gerry Lau- '
sing, but would he change this think- j
Ing age for his unthinking youth? j
TV hat if he had learned three years
ago that Alix had saved herself and ,
his name? Would it have meant loss
6r gain to him today? Something
within him cried, "Loss! Loss!" but
ho dared not take courage from the in
ward cry. He could not know, he rea j
soned, until he had seen Alix.
Twice, three times, the little stern- :
wheeler drove her nose into the mud I
bank at Piranhas, called her hoarse I
warning and departed. From some dis
tant cliff Gerry saw her come and go.
or, miles away, walking himself tired
across the desert, heard her throaty
siren cry and did not heed it.
It was with some misgivings that j
Kemp left Alan at the coast. Alan was
still very weak. Kemp stood, more in

, . «.«as than ever, against the rail
' _«. the little coaster bound for Pernam
buco and eyed Alan, whom he had
made comfortable in a camp bed on
the deck.
"It seems to me, Mr. Wayne," he
said, "that there motight be business
waitin' for me at Pernambuco thet I
do'n' know nothin' about. I've got a
hunch I'd best go along of you and
see."
Alan smiled. "I know what your
bunco is, Kemp, and it's a wrong one.
I'm all right. Weak, but I'll make it
Don't worry."
Kemp was standing in angles. His
bands were thrust in his trousers pock
ets, but even so his elbows were
crooked. One foot was raised on a
rail. He was coatiess as usual. His
unbuttoned vest stuck out behind. His
i Stetson hat was pulled well down over
his eyes. His eyes had taken on the
far-away and slightly luminous look
that always came into them when he
j was about to speak from the heart.
"Mr. Wayne," he said, "I've tol' you
! some things about Lieber an' you've
seen some more. You know how he
stands. Lieber's llvin' in hell, like a
rich greaser in the Bible with his
tongue stuck out beggin' for oue drop
i of water, only Lieber hain't got his
tongue stuck out —he's bitin' it."
Kemp paused and Alan nodded.
"I was thinkin'," Kemp continued,
"thet perhaps you'n Mr. Lansing, with
| yo' folks he'pin'. mought chuck him
that drop o' water when you got back
to heaven, meanin' Noo Yawk." Kemp
brought his eyes slowly around and
i rested them on Alan.
"Kemp," said Alan, "don't you wor
ry. If J. Y. Wayne & Co. haven't gone
to smash or the world otherwise come
to an end. you can he sure Lieber will
get his water in a full bucket."
Kemp nodded and with a "S'long
and good luck," disappeared down the
gangway.
At Pernatubuco Alan found an ac
cumulation of mail awaiting him and
a liner bound for home. The liner was
too big to get into the little harbor be
hind the reef. She rode the swell a
mile out from shore.
Alan lost no time In making his
transfer. From the tender he was
winched up to the deck in a passenger
basket. As ho left the wicker coop
he smiled at himself In disgust. Ten
Percent Wayne had often jumped for
a gangway from the top of a flying
sea; never before had he gone on board
as cargo. But the smile suddenly left
his face. He reeled and put out one
hand toward a rail. Somebody caught
his arm and led him to n long chair.
He sank into it and shivered.
It was a girl that had helped him.
A§ soon as she saw he was not going
to faint she left him, to come back
presently with the doctor and a room
steward. They took charge of him.
Day after day Alan lay in his cabin,
listless, before he thought of his batch
of letters. They were still in the
pocket of his coat. He asked the stew
ard to hand them to him, looked
through them, picked out one and laid
the rest aside. The one he picked out
was Clem's.
'With her own peculiar wisdom Clem
had written not about him or herself,
but about Red Hill. Alan read and
then dropped the letter to his lap. His
hands fell clenched at his sides. His
eyes, grown large, stared out down the
long vista of the mind. Walls faded
away and the sounds of a great ship
at sea were suddenly dumb. To his
ears came instead the caroling of birds
in evening soug after rain, to his eyes
a vision of Red Hill dripping light
from Its myriad leaves and to his
heart the protecting, brooding shelter
of Maple House—of home.
It cleanses a man's soul to have been
at death's door. Sickness, more than
love, leads a man up. Alan was feel
ing cleansed—like a little child—so it
seemed a quite natural thing that the
girl who had taken charge of him on
his arrival on board should knock at
his door and then walk In. She drew
out a camp-stool and sat down beside
him.
She was very small and very young,
not in years but with what Alan
termed to himself acquired youth. Her
; nearsighted eyes peered out through
: big glasses. They seemed to see only
i when they made a special effort, and
yet they seemed to give out light.
"You are better?" she asked, and
smiled.
Alan caught his breath at that smile.
"Yes," he said, "I atu much better to
day. I have had a letter from home."
"You must get up now and come
up on deck," said the girl. "I'll wait
| for you outside." Her voice had a pe
'■ culiar modulation. It attracted and
! soothed the ear.
Alan frowned and then smiled. "All
; right," he said, "wait for me." He
dressed laboriously. His hands seemed
weighted.
On deck she had Ills chair ready for
him beside her own. She tucked his
rug about him and then sat down.
"Don't talk ever, unless you want to,"
she said. "Silent people are best."
"Why?" asked Alan.
"They are springs. Their souls
bubble."
"And the people that chatter?" asked
Alan.
j "They are geysers," said the girl,

The upper picture shows just a small part of the number of men who re

work. If a bridge was built over the J uniata river the men could walk to tho
powder plant from their homes and would not have to walk any farther than
they walk now. Below are three of the William Penn Highway boosters. They

Boosters Are Planning to
Build Bridge Across Ju
niata to Accomplish Their
Object
Mount Union, Pa., March 18.—
Along the entire tentative route of the
proposed William Penn Highway,
there is no town more interested and
wide awake to the advantages the
road offers tlian Mount Union. Yet,
according to the route mapped out for
ratification later, the town Itself will
not be on the highway. The boule-
I vard, as now routed, will pass along!
[ the Juninta river shore on the opposite
side from Mount Union and this is
exactly what the citizens of this busy
town do not want. They are anxious
to have the highway pass directly
through the center of their town, not
simply for the sake of having the great
road in Mount Union but as an accom
mn<l)lHnn tf» tlw. hnn.lro<lu rtf mnn
moaation _to tne hundreds or men
who are employed at the Aetna Pow
"der works a little more than a mile
! below the town. Of course, to bring
| the road through Mount Union would
i necessitate the construction of a
| bridge across the Juniata River at a
point just below Allenport and oppo
site the property of the powder com
pany. It is understood, too, that the
powder company would be willing to
share in the cost of building a bridge
which would give its employes living
in Mount Union easy access to their
work.
Powder Works Year Old
I.ess than a 'year ago work was
started on the Aetna Powder works
land during the summer of 1915 men
were engaged In the manufacture of
smokeless powder. The employes of
the plant lived in Mount Union, a lit
tle more than a mile from the works,
and the company constructed a foot
bridge so that they could cross the
river to and from their work. During
the present winter, ice carried awfty
a section of the foot bridge and then
the men were compelled to find other
means of reaching the plant. Some
were able to cross in boats while
others used auto trucks and crossed
the county bridge at. the west end of
Mount Union, going from there to
Newton Hamilton and thence to their
work. By this route they traveled
seven miles. Then again there were
others wiio found conveyances which
carried them through Allenport, along
the road to Orbisonia and thence to
Newton Hamilton where the river
was crossed. This route covers nine
miles. Because of this trouble the
Pennsylvania Railroad company de
cided to run a "jitney" train from
Mount Union but because of the laws
regarding the running of trains near
powder plants, the men are still com
pelled to walk almost a mile after
leaving the train and then in addi
tion they must pay ten cents a day
train fare. The Mount Union Refrac
tories company, located close to the
bridge over the river which was used
by Pennsylvania Railroad company's
trains entering Mount Union until a
new route was established, recently
purchased the old bridge and planked
it so that it could be used as a pas
sage way. The refractories company
built homes for its men on the oppo
site side of the river and the bridge
was purchased so that the men could
get from their homes to Mt. Union to
work. Then it was found that em
ployes of the powder plant were also
using the bridge and some more diffi
culties arose. A few days ago the
bridge was reopened as a toll bridge
and now some men are using: it and
walking to the powder plant, a mile
away from the bridge. Vehicles tind
an almost impassable road to the pow
der plant after leaving the bridge so
that almost all necessary traffic to the
works from Mount Union goes by way
of Newton Hamilton, cither seven or
nine miles.
Have It Planned Out
And it is just because of this condi
tion that residents of Mount Union are
so much interested In having the Wil
liam Penn Highway pass directly
through, instead of past the town on
the opposite side of the river. Men
interested in the movement here say
that the road, alter passing through
Long Hollow, above McVeytown, could
be swung across to Newton Hamilton,
by way of a culvert under the railroad
in that town. From Newton Hamilton
there is a road to the homes of the
foremen and officials of the powder
plant and this, Mount Union men say,
could be put in good condition. From
that point, it is understood, the pow
der company would favor the con
struction of a road along the edge of
its farms, which adjoin the powder
plant, to the river. Just opposite
this point is an island, owned by Gre
gory and Barben, and the idea is to
bridge the river there, with one span
from the powder plant side to the is
land and another span from the island
to the Mount Union side. There the
bridge would meet a good stretch of
road which runs through Allenport'
and continues on to the main street
and the center of the business district
of Mount Union. A part of this street |
is already paved and the remainder
will be paved during the coming
Spring. To get out of Mount Union
a traveler would pass through the j
subway at the Pennsylvania Railroad
station and then follow along the
river to the county bridge just west of
the town, cross it and continue on to
Mill Creek and Huntingdon.
Would Mean Saving
If Mount Union residents can induce
the William Penn Highway advocates
to sanction the change in the route it
will readily be seen that with the
bridge below Allenport, men residing
in Mount Union and working at the
powder plant will be able to get to and
from their work over a good road and
they would not have to walk any
farther than they do now and in ad
dition they would not have to pay toll
or train fare.
The cost of building an adequate
bridge over the Juniata would be a
big item and would, no doubt require
a special act in the Legislature, but,
it is understood that the powder com
pany is willing to pay a big share of
the cost of construction. The rea
son for the offer as advanced unoffi
cially Is that the company does not
bellove it will be ahle to keep the
help it now has if the men have to j
continue to travel under the present:
conditions. Of course not all of the,
1,500 men empployed at the powder!
plant nre living in Mount Union, main- I
ly because there are not sufficient I
i houses there, but when building oper-
atlons are started in the Spring nianyl
' j will move in from tlie surrounding 1
[ towns ami that, will mean that unless |
1 1 something: can be done soon, there willj
• be others who will have to travel to
1 their work under unhandy conditions.
Biii'scss in the l.cad
, Although there is no organization in
, Mt. Union at present to endeavor to
, change the William Penn Highway
; route, Burgess A. S. Welch, who is
. also the editor of the Mount Union
Times, is planning to call a meeting
of all those interested through the!
j columns of his papers. Burgess Welch
5 explained how a road could be brought j
! from Newton Hamilton to Mount '
? Union and how badly a bridge was
. needed across the river so that the j
men employed at the powder plant
could be accommodated. "Mountj
' Union is a very busy town," said the |
j burgess, "and there is no town in this j
, territory which has grown as rapidly
• as this. By running the highway |
! over the present proposed route, our
. town will be eliminated and we be- j
lieve that because of our activities!
. and our business in Newton Hamilton, j
■: McVeytown and Dewistown we should!
• have a direct road to those places. I
, Tourists will Ilud points of interest
. here, too, for in our borough are lo-
I cated the largest silica brick plants in
, the world. Through the Times I intend
t to call a meeting of the Mount Union
, people interested in the William Penn
; Highway and 1 feel sure that we will
. be ably represented at the meeting in
, Harrisburg."
Dr. C. E. Culver, a dentist, and a
• man greatly interested in t]ie welfare
of the community, is another who is
| hustling to bring the highway through
. the borough. "Mount Union is cer
ta.nly in favor of. the great boule
; vard across the State," said Dr. Cul
ver, "but what we want is to have it
I pass through the town instead of
along the other side of the river. We
| understand that there will be some
difficulty in having it brought around
, this way and also that it will mean the
construction of another bridge across
; the Juniata but we are sure that the
many advantages the bridge will have
for our people will more than pay for
the cost of its building. Our town
is booming and we have a borough
which will be of interest to many per
sons traveling through the State."
11. B. Cassidy, proprietor of the City
Garage, is another of the town's live
wires who is doing all he can to help |
along the movement in Mount Union
and bring the highway through the
borough. "We want Mount Union
on the route and we'll have her there,
too, if there s any possible way of
doing it. Just think that men who
work at a plant a little more than a
mile from the town are compelled to
travel seven miles one way, or nine
miles another to get to their place
of employment. If we can get a
bridge at the place it is so badly
t needed we can have a greater popu
lation in our town for you will tind
that in the early Spring many build
ing operations will be started and then
scores of men who were compelled
to go to adjoining towns to live will
move here."

Sussex and the names and nationali
ties of the passengers. Most of the
passengers are believed to have been
j continentals. There were 270 women
and children on the vessel.
The Sussex carried 12 lifeboats and
several rafts. The lifeboats were low
ered quickly after the explosion. Good
discipline was maintained.
Boat Overturns
The second boa which was lowered,
containing 40 persons was overturned,
j and thirty drowned. A number jump
;[ ed overboard. Gratings and pieces of
[ furniture were thrown to them. More
(than half of those who leaped lost
their lives.
Five Bodies on Board
I The foremasts and wireless appa
ratus were blown away by the explo
t sion. The wireless operator attempted
i unsuccessfully to rig a substitute.
Persons who embarked in the boats
returned to the Sussex before dark.
Rockets were fired during the early
part of the night and at about mid
night a trawler came to the rescue.
It took as many as it could carry to
Boulogne.
A British destroyer came up soon
afterwards and took on the other pas
sengers. conveying them to Dover.
Five bodies were left on the Sus
sex.
1-i Americans Aboard
The following Americans were on
board the Sussex:
"Joshua, D. Armitage, J. N. Bald
win, Helen Baldwin, Elizabeth Bald
win, Gertrude L. Barnes. Charles T.
Crocker, Samuel Beinis, Henry Deer,
Ida Deer, Billian O. S. Parde, Edna
S. Parde, Edward Huxley, Dorothy
Phillipps Hilton, Edna Frances Hil
ton.
Blown to Pieces
Edward Huxley, who witnessed the
catastrophe from beginning to end,
stated that several passengers and a
nu niebrof members of the crew un
: doubtedly were blown to atoms by the
I explosion.
j Mr. Huxley told the Associated
j Press a remarkable story of the nian-
I ner in which the forward part of the
I Sussex was torn off at the captain's!
I bridge. The remainder o ftlie vessel I
was so little damaged thai eveu the
electric lights continued to burn.
Mr. Huxley described the scene on
the Sussex after the explosion as hor
rible. lie could give 110 estimate of
the number of persons killed, further
than to say that many lives were lost.
Jle would venture 110 opinion whether
the disaster was caused by u mine or
a torpedo.
Boston Man Rescued
Edward Huxley, president of the
United Slates Rubber Export Com
pany, and Francis E. Drake, European
manager of the company, arc among
the Americans rescued from the Sus
sex. They report that there was a
heavy loss of life, including probably
several Americans.
The fate of the Sussex is not yet cer
tain. One message says she was towed
to Boulogne and another says she was
beached. A number of Americans
cross the channel by almost every pas
senger steamer, most of them on busi
ness. Bookings are not made in ad
vance for particular steamers. Pas
sengers having passports entrain at
London and their names are taken
when they go aboard steamers. A
large number of Americans obtained
permits to go to France during iho
last week.
Chief Engineer Killed
The chief engineer of the Sussex
was killed by the explosion and the
purser was wounded seriously.
An American whose nartie is not.
known to survivors who have reached
Eondon was talking with the Bald
win family, close to the captain's
bridge, when the explosion occurred.
He has not been seen since that time
and is supposed lo have been lost.
Vessel Stays Afloat
The explosion occurred at about 3
p. m. when the Sussex was an hour
I and a half out of Folkestone. The
wireless apparatus was destroyed and
no help arrived until nearly midnight.
Had it not been for the water-tight
compartments, the Sussex would have
sunk and the loss of life would have
been heavier.
American Woman Hurt
Miss Baldwin, daughter of a promi
nent American resident of Paris, was
injured seriously on tl\p Sussex.
, Mis* Baldwin's father and mother
also were on board the vessel. All
have been taken to Boulogne. In ad
dition to other injuries Miss Baldwin's
leg was broken.
