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,

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.
