They are mar ried In the tiouth American coffee tovtl ot Propionoire, and Terry hae had to leave Allaire to the protec lion of a pair of Chatki eervante, and oo back I hie engineering job up the muddy Patva river. Note, the netoe that there te to be an heir axoaltn Terry tchen next he appear in Pi optonoire. Chapter 41 BRIEF VISIT 'T'ERRT came down the river final It. He'd been (one nearly three months. Leaner perbapi, and a little tired about the eyes and the cor neri of his mouth, but striding as easily and tirelessly as ever. "I've wanted to tet down so damn often," he said, "but I Just couldn't, Allaire. And I bare to go right back tomorrow." "How Is everything, Terry!" "If It wasn't for this rotten rainy season that's coming up ," he stopped, and waved a dismissing hand. "Let's not bother about it Things been pretty tough tor you?' She didn't answer. Absently, she plucked at the sleeve of his shirt. her eyes dreamy. He wondered. "What's the matter, Allaire?" he asked quickly. "Anything wrong?" "Terry, would you mind awful ly If?" Wlllett felt something chill him (or an Instant. Would he mind what? If she went back to the States? "Oo on, Allaire," he aald steadily. "Terry," and again ber color heightened, "I you that Is we. we're going to have a baby." It waa men that had to be pre pared for some things. Wlllett felt breathless, stunned. He tried to say something and couldn't locate any thought waves. And thon ha waa at her side, one arm around her, and she put her bead on his ahoulder. "Are you glad?" she murmured. "Oh, Allaire, 1 should have thought" 8he sat up straight, alarmed. "Terry, don't you want him? Be cause if you don't" He drew her to blm gently. "Of course 1 do," be said quickly. "I waa Just thinking about you. 1 want to take care of you, honey, and I'm marooned up there and you're lone. You mustn t be alone." He .paused and ran his brown band over the shining hair at ber temples. "Don t you think you'd bet ter go up to the States where you'll be among friends and your own surroundings?" "No," she said, "I won't. That isn't my idea ot married life, to be stuck away like aome hothouse plant." "Well, the capital, then? Much more comfortable and pleasant and safe." His voice didn't quit take that last word In stride. Maybe bla father had tried to get Vlo to a safer place, too. v "Terry, I won't. I'm going to stay here and-wait until you finish that Job." Finish that Jobl She might wait a long time. ' WlUett'i hands were hot. "Terry, you don't feel sorry or tied down or anything, do you?" He sprang np and took a nervous restless stride up and down the room, "Nol" he exclaimed. "You may have married a busted engineer, Al laire, but you haven't married a heel." He stopped and looked down at ber seriously. "Take care of your self, honey, be careful and" he suddenly knelt on one knee by her side, "you know 1 have to go back, don't you? I wouldn't leave you otherwise, but I have to, Allaire" Of course he had to. She had a feeling that the bulk of his conn dence and his courage waa locked In his death grip with the Palva, and he waa drawing on all that remained to bolster her In the face of what lay ahead of them both. 'TpHB procession ot weeks had started again, broken only by Terry's quick visit. Once again he had disappeared Into the still, fate ful silence of that camp up the river. Aa the weeks went by she began to rebel at sitting around down here while he was off somewhere. It was like marrying a sailor on a furlough and the next time she saw him to be pointing out the halfback on the lo cal high school team as his son. That wasn't the way she'd dreamed of marriage. She wanted to be with Terry. The doctor who came to see her once In a while as the days pasted wss no help. He hsd a doleful, fu nereal expression, and his attitude, coupled with the empty hot loneli ness ot l'roplonotre. caused her to be assailed with a restless, slightly panicky feeling. Rainy seaaon aet in. As Terry had said. It waa that ceaseless sodden rain that permeated and dampened everything, a thick grey mesh that Just tell without lite or force. Just dripped as though every raindrop was a numbered prisoner marching m&ebanlcally to bis cell. For Ave or six daya It would rain like that and then there would be a period of biasing heat. Drake said this waa Just the forerunner of the stormy season and then it was bad. Drake had a remarkable sense of humor. Corrlgan came down after sev eral more weeks had passed, the first time she'd seen blm in six months. He wasn't the amiable tide of booming enthusiasm that had flowed all around her when she first met blm. Corrlgan was an engineer on a Job now. He looked dead on bis feet. "Terry told me," he said awk wardly. "I hum congratulations. That's fine." He coughed. "How Is Terry?" she asked quickly. "All right Been working like the devil." Corrlgan lit a clgaret and sat down wearily. "He would have come, but he bad a slight touch of fever ob, nothing bad," be said quickly as her eyes widened in alarm. "We've been socked slightly at one time or another. Terry's the last to feel It He's Iron." "And the work?" ELL" . Corrlgan spread out his hand and stared at the long powerful fingers, "If we only had time to beat this river to the punch, we'd pull through. That hus band of yours Is a great engineer, lady. One ot the nicest Jobs I ever saw. "If we' don't get the Job further along, the river will knock what we've done blooey. We're trying to do It before the river wallops that temporary dam In the nose. If we don't well, we'll all come floating down with the wreckage, digging lizards out ot our necka and mud out of -ur ears." "And then what?" Corrlgan shrugged. "You know Terry. He'll feel he's failed again." The girl was silent tor a long time. Terry had to win now. He Just couldn't fall, not when It meant so much to him. How much more time does he need?" Worst part of the season la in about a month or so. After that It's all right The river gets tired and goes back to eleep. If we can gel past that without being turned Intc salted mackerel, we're over the win and a hip, hip, hooray I" He grinned suddenly. "You certainly are an en gineer's wife." "I know It." said Allaire, "and I'm going up that river with you when you go back." " Corrlgan looked a little weak. "You what?" he gasped. "I'm going back with you." Bucky recovered partly. "Wbewl" he said with relief. "you bad me nervous for a minute. I thought you meant it" I do mean it" said Allaire firmly. Listen," he said feebly, "you can't do that Why, It'a out of the question. In the first place, It would be a deadly place tor you and In the aecond, there's really nothing you can do." i can help Terry, that'a what I can do." Help him?" aald Corrlgan, star ing. Allaire smiled at his astonished countenance. Oh, I don't mean giving blm ad vice on engineering problems, but to be with him, show him that 1 have confidence in him, form a nice loud cheering section of one." She nodded slowly, "it's ray place to be with Terry, and If hla place Is a bad one, that'a all In the carda." Corrlgan looked at her a long time. Perhaps ha waa thinking of little Anne Harlow back In the States whose lashes were so long they got In the way when he kissed her. "You're all right" he said fer vently. "Out Allaire, I couldn't do It You know, you h a v to be around" I'll take Rosa with me. If every thing goes all right we'll be back down here before anything Impor tant happens. Maybe we'll float down or wreckage or ride In milk- white chariots through flower decked streets of Propionoire, but one or the other will all he settled before I take the center of the stage and speak my piece." Corrlgan was still doubtful, Copyright. IHI. by David Oarthl ANTI-JEW DRIVE L CONTINUE BERLIN, Germany, Jan. 30.

IM. -Z7-36 MOTHER TO DIE FOE Strange as It seems, the population of the world has Increased more In the pasts century than It did during all the tens of thousands of years that man has been on earth. In 1830. according to the most widely accepted estimates, the population of the earth was about 800,000,000. Dur ing the century that followed. It In ereataed to more than 3,000,000,000, according to the 1030 estimate of the International Statistical Institute of the League of Nations. Several Influences made this great Increase' possible. Invention, for one thing, made the people ot urban cen ters less dependent upon food from nearby farms for sustenance. Now the city dweller may et bread made from grain shipped half way around the world and famine no longer threat ens those In the midst of a local crop failure. Medicine has also played a great part In the population Increase. To day the expectancy of life Is much higher Infant mortality has been lowered and epidemics that once wiped out whole cities are controlled to a great degree by the physician. America, since 1800, has had the greatest proportionate population growtn. up to i860 the population of the new world grew from 10,000 to 90,000 an Increase of 900 per cent I ana since then the per cent of In crease has tApered off. Asia has had the greatest Increase by numbers. Strange as It seems, while the pop ulation Is growing continually, the birth rate in most countries Is stead ily declining.
