Look down, look down that lonely road—! His hand was on the door, he closed his eyes a moment, took a grip on himself and his strength, and then, eyes open, he walked in. Rosa was standing near the bed. She looked up at that tall swaying young man on the threshold, and her teeth jumped out at him in a wide white smile. Willett’s heart turned over a couple of times—Rosa wouldn’t dare to smile if— “Allaire!” he said tensely. The girl’s eyes opened. She was Dale and drawn and she didn’t seem to see him at first. Then her hand fluttered toward him, | “Hello, Terry darling,” she mur- mured. “How'd you make out?” “All right.” Willett’s lip trembled. ‘All right, honey. But you—” He bent over her anxiously. Rosa | was trying to draw his attention to @ bundle in her arms, a funny leenkscerageca bundle with some- {thing plump and alive and healthy- }looking in it. Willett’s face was a jstudy in grimy uncertainty. There was a low laugh from the girl. | Terry sat down, He felt very weak all of a sudden. “And you're all right?” He couldn’t ;Seem to grasp it. | “Of course. Rosa was wonderful. [And whenever—things seemed hard dand I was frightened, I just reached out for your hand, darling, and—it was there—always.” She closed her eyes and smiled. “And you put through the job. Oh, ‘Terry, your father must be so proud—” She couldn’t seem to grasp that herself. To her it was wonderful. “No prouder,” said Willett a little “Wish you'd come along with us, Bucky.” “T'd better be here for the opening of the river next week, Terry. A lot of the National Coffee Company big shots are going to ride through the locks for the first time and 1 think T'll tag along. That was one fine job of yours, son.” ; “Your job, Bucky, as much as mine.” “Tough-jawed Bucky Corrigan, with the sinews of a hundred en- gineering jobs in his powerful sun- burnt frame and the spirit of Mars in his nature, shook his head. “Thanks, fella, but my kind of help grows on trees. It comes out of en- gineering schools and grows a little valuable with experience, but it isn’t in the same class with the kind of help you get from—from,” he nodded toward the slim girl in tropical white, “—her.” “I know,” said Terry quietly. There was a blast of the whistle and a last shouted call of departure. “So long, Bucky,” said Willett. “And you know what I think.” “Forget it,” said Corrigan. I'll be working for you steady some day. You're carrying the mail, son.” PARK The sult of Aftei ‘HEY shook hands.

She pushed aside his hand and stepped up close to him. “This may not mean much fo you, but it means a lot to me,’ | She kissed him swiftly and grace- fully. Corrigan flushed slightly ,be- neath his tan. pe’ “That's the high point of my jife,” he grinned. “Damn if it isn’t.” Rosa surrendered her healthy glowing burden to Terry.
