' It had been rising slowly for ‘days, heralded by many spasmodic Tat-a-tat-tats of quick-ising angry ‘downpours. Allaire knew something ;was wrong. Corrigan and Willett jwent about stern and ‘silent, and leven the chattering Chaikis felt that {horrible presage of the season gath- jering itself for one final blast. | The river rose and rose, atigry land black, spreading a thick slimy silt over the ground for yards ‘around near the banks, and then one night the storm burst, caught up | with its messengers, and spread all lover them. | All that night the storm rode viciously over man’s handiwork, and all the next day. The air was | very warm and close, but there were jbeads of perspiration on Allaire’s brow that were cold and not caused {by the weather. Had she picked up \the fever, she wondered? What a time to worry Willett | when he was faced with a crisis. But {she had to admit to herself that she ‘didn’t feel well, and when Willett |suddenly caught up his reefer and went outside, she decided to go to bed. Willett. -aught Corrigan’s arm and pointed to the dam. “She going to hold, Bucky,” he howled. Corrigan squinted his eyes and stared through the thickly-obscured drenched air. “I’m going to take a look!” he shouted. The upper Palva was mad. Corri- gan saw something that caused cold chills to chase up and down his spine. Plainly evident was a slow- spreading crack. He went back to Willett. “All right so far!” he yelled, “but if this doesn’t let up soon, it won’t be. Sorry, fella. Any orders?” V ILLETT shook his head. It was getting dark and the spearhead of rainy season was driving them back. Weather it? They had to weather it! He went into the office. The lamp was lit. It glowed a dull yellow against the supernatural darkness of the storm. Destruction! Chaos! A bust as an engineer. Sacrifice, sweat, money, courage, brains— wasted, lost, washed away. “Damn you!” he suddenly shouted. He got up and threw open the door and took the driving rain in his teeth. “Damn you, if you were human, if you were something I could get my hands on!” “Easy!” Corrigan was at his side. “Easy, fella! We've got a chance yet.” Willett’s jaw was like a rock. He gripped Corrigan’s arm in that steel grasp of his. “You're right we have a chance. We're going to sandbag that dam. We're going to rout out all those shaking Chaikis and their women too and buttress that dam.” “Sefior Willett—!" It was Rosa’s voice, a piercing cry “If she holds, it’ through the dripping blackness. She pulled at his sleeve. “You must come—” “Come, now? Why?"—Allaire! {Willett raced to the hut, flung open the door, and stopped aghast ie) threshold. The face*of tat cid the pillow was white and the shad- ows caused by the lamp played over echo that bore the etching of Pa Alaire!” voice 4 She reached sheet “A Es] “Darling,” she said, speaking with difficulty, “I've jumped the gun.” Willett whirled and rushed back | outside. “Corrigan!” he roared. “Somebody's got to get a doctor! Al- laire’s—she’s—” Corrigan stared. His lips moved tonelessly, then he grabbed Willett’s wrist. “Nobody can get up or down that | river tonight! It's standing on its damned heac. “The hell nobod; can’t! I'll go | down myself.” The storm laughed at him, blew his ‘words back in his teeth. And it ‘was more than a phrase to let off steam, it was a frantic plea. Rosa was back. “You come,” she said to Willett. | ERRY went back quickly. Al- laire’s face was concerned. “Better now,” she said, breathing a little rapidly. “Darling, don’t worry. Rosa’s with me.” Willett sank on his knees beside her. “Tl never forgive myself,” he said bitterly. “I’ve taken swell care of you.” “It wasn’t your fault.” Her hand reached out and rested on his shoul- der. He felt it tighten suddenly and looked wildly around for Rosa, but the next minute it relaxed. a miracle!” Allaire lay back on the pillow, beads of perspiration on her fore- head, breathing as though ex- hausted. “Terry,” she said suddenly, “if anything happens, I want you—to— promise me something.” He couldn’t answer. His throat was choked and hot tears blinded his eyes. “You won’t—go—off—half-cocked, Terry, like your father. Oh, it’s so important! You have—so many won- derful things to do. You're going to be—famous.” The last word was almost a whis- per. And the rain chanted the re- frain. “You're going to be—famous. You're going to be—famous.” Fam- ous! His rangy form shook. “Allaire!” he pleaded, “Oh, girl, you're going to be all right—you're going to come through—” “Terry, you never knew some thing. I was saving it until some time when I thought you'd be ready to go home—” She paused, smiling as if terribly Pleased over something. “I saw your old home, Terry, and I took a long term option on it. I couldn’t bear to think of anyone else in it but you.” Terry Willett’s face had been due to show the hand of his long-dead, gentle mother many times. Her heritage was in his eyes now, those fine grey-green eyes with a splotch of brown about the pupils. He knew he could never disappoint this girl in any way. He would be oe whatever happened. “Willett! Hey, Terry!” Corrigan’s voice raised in a shout. He stuck his head in at the door. “Come on the double-quick, fella, you're needed.” “To hell with the job!” he said tensely. “Terry!” cried Allaire, almost in agony, “you can’t do that! You've done something mighty fine. Save it now—” “I won't leave you.” “Terry!” She was sitting up, her eyes on him, pleading. “You do your job. I'll do mine.” “Stick with it, honey,” he said gently.
