CHAPTER XXXVI— AIan goes at night
to the old church on the Hill. "I have
come back."
Gerry smiled and waited. Soon Alix
became qnlet. Her eyes closed. She
drew a long, quivering breath and
then she opened her eyes again and
her Hps broke into the old dear smile,
the smile of an opening flower. "I am
tired—tired." she said, "hut I believe
I'm almost hungrier than I am tired."
"I'm glad you said it first." replied
Gerry, giving serions thought to the
fact that he was faint with hunger
himself. "Ever since some funny
Johnny wrote. 'Feed the brute.' we
men have been shy about echoing our
stomachs. It's four o'clock. Hours
after lunch time."
"Really?" snid Alix, nestling down
closer to his nrru and letting her smil
ing eyes wander over him. "How well
this suit flu you. There's something
•boot it—• It isn't, la it?"
Gerry nodded. "Same old suit. By
the way, when I came in John aaid you
toid him to telephone to the club and
•ay you wished to see me. What made
you thing I would go to the elub first?"
Alix looked puKzled. "I didn't. I
didn't teli John to telephone." She
paused, still puzzling, then her face
cleared. "Why—poor old John—he's
getting very old, you kno.w, Gerry.
That was three years ago I told him to
Telephone—the day yon never came
hack. It must have been the suit He
saw yon standing there in the same
anlt and three years became as one
day to the old fellow."
Gerry sighed. "Ailx. do you want
those three years to become as a day
to u«?"
Alix shook her head slowly from
rifle to side. "\*o. dear. I don't. They
have given me—given us both—far
more than they took away." She put
her bare arms around his neck, drew
tuS fi2'£F 9J! d hissed hiui. "You dp

not know yet all that liie.v have given
you. You think you have come back
and found me. a frittering butterfly In
a great empty house. But you're found
only my abandoned cocoon. I'm not
here at all. I've packed myself,lnto
the dearest little bundle of pink fat,
yellow curls and chubby legs, and left
the bundle on Red Hill."
Gerry nodded but he was grave and
silent. Not in a day nor a month could
he altogether forget the Man.
Gerry had always been quiet but
during the long drive from the station
to The Firs, his silence amounted to a
penetrating stillness. Alix felt it but
It did not depress her; she kuew her
self to be in the presence of a com
munion. Gerry was devoting the hour
of his return to the scenes of ills hoy
hood to a silent consecration. These
cool valleys and hollows; the low
road, with its purling accompaniment
of hidden waters: the embowered still
nave of Long lane, were as the ances
tral halls of the Lansings. It was right
.that he should do homage to the mem
ories they evoked.
To his mother Gerry made no expla
nations. He knew that to her it was
enough that her boy had come back.
When Mrs. I.analng released him, Alix
caught his hand and led him up to the
nnrsery. Together they looked down
•upon their sleeping child.
Gerry, Jr.. was fat to the verge of
a split. His curly tow head was
tousled and on his brow a slight per
spiration testified to (he labor of sound
sleep. His arms were outstretched.
His legs had kinks at the knees, they
were so chubby. His petulant little
month was half open, disclosing tiny
teeth.
"lui't he a beauty?" asked A tlx a lit
tle loudly, wishing he would awaken.
Gerry nodded. With hit eyee still
on the child he put bto arm around
Alix and drew her to him. What Mar
garita had done for him, Alix bad done.
As he felt her frail body quivering in
his embrace, as he looked back and
measured the sacrifice by what the
awful nlgbt of the coming of the Man
had taught biro, he was overwhelmed
by a new humility. He turned Allx's
face up to his. His lipg moved in an
effort to thank her but words failed
him. Alix understood. She lifted her
arms around his neck and drew his
head down. He held her body very
close as he kissed her, softly, ador
ingly. Alix bid her face against his
shoulder for a moment and then threw
back her head and shook the tears
from her eyelashes. She smiled through
wet eyes. "I am afraid he's not quite
perfect—lnside. Such a temper, Gerry.
I'm afraid he'll grow up Into a man
about town and awfully wild." She
turned grave eyes on Gerry, Jr., and
her brows puckered. "What do yoti
think?"
Gerry smiled. "From the looks of
him I predict he gets his letter in
freshman year—center on the football
team."
"Yes. perhaps." «aid Alix thought
fully. "Everybody calls him Fatty al
ready."
It was from Alan that Gerry learned
that Kemp was still in town closing up
his connection with the orchid firm.
Gerry wired him. begging him to come
to The Firs for a few days before he
went West. Alix had told of Kemp's
word of comfort.
After the first excitement of getting
home was over Gerry found himself
restless with the same restlessness that
had attacked him during the days at
Piranhas. He tried for a solution in
the same way. Day after day. long
before the rest of the Hill was awake,
he was off for a ten-mile walk.
At first it was with head dropped
and eyes on the ground that he plowed
his way through a dew-soaked world,
but there came a time when he walked
with h'ad ♦ferovrn back, full lungs and
level eyes.
Then Kemp arrived. Gerry tried to
get him to join him In his walks but
Kemp shook his head sadly..
"Ef yo' can't let me have a hoss. Mr.
Lansing," he said. "I'll ride the cow."
Gerry laughed. They saddled the
horses themselves and started out. On
the top of old Bald Head Gerry dis
mounted and eat down on a rock.
Kemp followed suit.
"Kemp," said Gerry. "I want to
thauk you for the things you said to
my wife—Alix."
Kemp flushed and waved a deprecat
ing hand.
"You saw things straight." went on
Gerry, "and 1 want to thank you. too,
for letting me hog-tie myself."
"I ain't curious about .that. Mr. Lan
ding," said Kemp, "so uiuch's about
what you're goin" to do when yo' untie
yo'seff."
"Well," said Gerry. "I've thought
that out too. For a while it used to
break my heart to think about Fa
zenda Flores but it came to me the
other day that what there is of me that
amounts to anvthing is iust Fazenda
Flores.

ANCIENT JEWISH
PASSOVER FEAST
Celebrate First Festival of
Emancipation in His
tory of Race
Tlie Jewish Fast, or Passover. Be
i Kins on Monday evening. April 17, and
will be observed for seven days by
] Reform and eight days by Orthodox
! congregations.
It is the first festival of emancipa
tion In the history of civilization. Its
commemoration is based on the Bibli
cal narrative which tells how the peo
ple of Israel enslaved in Egypt were
led from bondage to freedom by the
great leader Moses.
| The Passover festival speaks for
i the sanctity of the home as well as
I for self-respect and liberty. The
Jews accordingly assemble in their
homes on this festival, and signalize
I it by a solemn service in which the
story of the ancient struggle for
emancipation is recounted with pious
fervor.
It is customary to remove all leaven
out of the household in preparation
for the feast. Leaven is the symbol
of the sordid, and refers to those who
are unemancipated from the com
monplace things. During the feast,
only inatzoth and not bread, are eaten.
The distinctive spirit of the feast finds
expression even >in the specific food.
The Haggadah, the order of the do
mestic service, read on the night when
the family gathers about the common
table, comprises the narrative of the
exodus from Egypt, the account of the
oppression which the ancient Israel
ites endured, and is not without its co
vert allusions to the pathetic storv of
Israel in more recent times in'the
midst of the unkind nations. The
Maggadah also includes a special
group of psalms (CXHI-CXVIII > and
anumber of medieval poems.

Certainty is only one part of good delivery. Outside of backbone,
; the great need is speed.
■
And the right type of truck is required, as well as the right make.
■ That s why there are seven sizes in the Packard line of trucks.
■
Packard makers haven't spent all their time over blue-prints. They
have studied traffic from the driver's seat and from the loading platform.
They know that in light, fast hauling, mileage is money—any way
you look at it.
■
They know that goods must cover ground, if the money coming in
exceeds the money going out.
That's why the 1 and 14-ton Packards were added to the line—to
give snappy, light service, at any speed within reason.
; You can make a delivery for every promise—every day.
A truck that will give you hurry one day and worry the next, hasn't
■ real speed.
These light Packards are healthy all the year around. They'll sprint

They are true Packards to the very ribs, of the same frame and fibre
