CHAPTER XIV '
JOSE and Barry had broken
camp a little after midnight
A yellow disk of moon floated in
cloudless sky. "It will be cooler
traveling at night," Jose had said.
"And with a full moon we can
make good time. . We will reach
the jungle about daybreak."
Barry rode ahead and Jose
trailed closely behind. . Jose in
sisted on frequent stops and made
Barry stretch out on the sweet
smelling grass and. rest a while.
Barry's arms and legs felt like
sticks of wood with the strength
drained out of them. His fever
had gone, but it had burned the
energy out of him and left only
listless husk.
Barry got slowly to bis feet, his
legs wobbling under him.
"I feel much better," he Insisted.
"I'm sure I can make it now."
. "One more liitch now and we
; will reach the jungle," Jose said.,
"We should make it to the planta
tion before noon. I will take the
lead now. The path through the
jungle is treacherous. If you feel
faint, call out and we'll stop
again." .
On they plodded, their sure
footed little beasts picking their
way cautiously over rocks that
projected themselves abruptly
from the earth. With a trained
eye, Jose picked the narrow open
ing in the solid wall of trees and
they started down the jungle trail.
The light of the moon was shut
out, and they were moving more
slowly through the inky black
ness, t.
TT seemed to Barry that years
had passed when he saw ahead
the thin fingers of sunlight where
they broke through a clearing. - It
was like finding the reassuring
beacon of a lighthouse in a world
of black uncharted water. He
knew they were approaching the
plantation. Next, men's voices
came to him. Clear, deep, chesty
voices that rang through the still
ness. He knew the native chicle
ros were at work slashing their
zig-zag pattern in the trunks of
the zapote trees. Jose, riding
ahead, looked fuzzy and distant
He could again feel burning fever
on his brow. Jose pulled his mule
to a stop. .
"Hurrah! We have made it!" he
shouted triumphantly. ,
Barry turned his eyes then to
the chicleros perched like mon
keys high up in the towering trees
swinging their machetes, the
: bright blades glistening in the sun.
Then his eyes followed the trees
' idown to the ground where he
heard the sharp, efficient com
mands of a woman's voice as she
directed the bleeding of the trees.
At that instant the owner of the
voice stepped out from behind a
', tree it was Allison. A new Alli
son, a vital, commanding Allison.
Her golden hair was cropped close
like a man's, she wore a wnite
man's shirt open at the throat
. her leather boots were splattered
with gray mud. Barry looked for
a moment and then the light faded
and he slumped from the mule's
back to the ground he had
. tainted.
Jose heard the dull thud as
Barry fell to the soft ground. He
; slid from his mule quickly and
picked Barry up in his powerful
i arms. Allison came running across
the clearing.
. "What's happened to him!" she
cried as she looked at the chalky,
drawn face, the wasted thin body.
"He's been very sick," Jose said
: quietly. "For over a week now I
. have nursed him for malaria."
"Bring him to my estancia,"
Allison commanded. "I'll go ahead
to get the bed ready." Jose car
ried the sick man in his arms as
if he had been a baby.
CLOWLY Barry opened his eyes
u and then closed them again
. against the strong light. When
again he opened them objects in
the room took on a dim, ghostly
shape.
"Where am I? What has hap
pened?" he asked thickly.
Albion ws standing in front o)
ttie dresser stirring some medicine
In a gbw. She turned and cam
to the side ot the bed. Her hand
closer! ovr Barry's.
"XWre going to be all right
now," the said quietly. 'Tfou've
been very Kick. It was just a week
ago today that you and Jose ar
rived here at the plantation."
Strange wonderment filled
Barry's eyes as gradually full
realization dawned on him. He
smiled very faintly
' "I remember now you chicle
ros then all went black."
Allison gave Barry his medicine
and loft the room. When she re
turned, his eves were brighter ana
color had crept back in his cheeks.
Allison had a letter for Barry. -
"A letter from Lila," she said.
"The chicleros brought it in from
Puerto Barrios a week ago, right
after you blacked out on us. I
didn't open it for throe days
then I thought it mlfiht be some
thing Important something that
should bo answered, so I read it!"
"Was It important?" . Barry
asked, '
"She ws3 worried because she
hadn't heard from you."
i "I suppose I'd better try to an
swer It"
Allison said coolly, "I didn't
know how long you'd be uncon
scious so, I answered it for you.!
l Barry, frown ad.
"Let me see the letter."
AIXISON handed it to him and
left the room. He rend it slow
ly and then rend it again. It was
so typical of Lila. She was fran
tic that ho hadn't written. A plane
arrived from Puerto Barrios that
carried no letter from him. Didn't
he know how impatient she was
to hear? She would never lot him
get out of her sight again. After
this trip she was going to insist on
a desk job for Barry, right there
In New York; no more of these
trips into places so remote, so
dangerous. Barry released the let
ter and it fluttered to the floor.
He lay there quietly for a while
staring at the ceiling.
Later Allison came back with
some fruit juice in a glass and
bent over the bed. Barry drank
it slowly.
"Sit down," he said. "I want to
talk to you." '
Allison brushed a hand across
her forehead after she had drawn
up a chair.
"This heat," she said. "I wonder
if anyone ever gets used to it?"
"Thev tell me they do," Barry
said. "But it wasn't the heat that
I wanted to talk about."
"I know it's that letter!" Allison
said gayly.
"Just what did you say?"
"Oh, not much, really. Just a
short, friendly note to tell her
that you had been sick, but that
you would come along all right."
"You told her, of course, that I
was staving here, with you?"
"What else could I tell her?"
Allison said a little sharply.
"Oh, I know I'm an ungrateful
cad, after all you'v been through
for me-but well, I just wish
you hadn't written her that's all."
A light twinkled mischievously
in Allison's blue eyes as she said.
fm "sorfVr'Barry." For'"'ohce t
really thoucht I was doing ths
light thing."

It Is a terrific blunder to as
sume that war promotes science.
Ninety-nine per cent of scientific
inventions have not been the re
sult of the stimulus of war as
many people believe. These in
ventions are only applied or
adapted to war. War distorts sci
ence namely, wasting energies
on things which' arc not benefi
cial to humanity. Dr. Robert A.

Leaders from all walks of life
will be required (after the war).
They will be those who have ap
plied practical consideration to
man's complete desire for a
peaceful world of opportunity.

In practically all industrial ac
cidents, you find the clement of
human carelessness. Women,
with their instincts for orderly
procedure and good housekeep
ing, tend to reduce that factor.
Clifford Tagg, industrial educa

The kind of peace we wish to
see can only be achieved if there
