(WNU Ssrrles) ONB of those experiaocss that you read about ID books came to Alonso Melerberg when he was thirty-one. and on the upward plunge of a wave of success as a young sqrgeon that was carrying him to the top of his profession. He walked out of the office of one of his mest distinguished confreres, with hU own suspicion of himself cor* robe rated. One of his lungs had a hole to it Tuberculosis had him. The man who was considered the most brilliantly promising plastic surgeon In the city of N*»w York, and that meant practically In Araerica, was doomed, at' thirty-one, to exile. If not permanent exile, and most probably that, then for a period of years that was apt to play havoc with the soaring of his career. Well, lleierberg was about as logical as the average intellectual would be under such conditions. He placed his situation before him, so to speak. Reckoned on the alternative advantages of remaining at his post, and dying young and perhaps brilliantly, er going off to struggle for an existence that might not be worth the living. With his mind, the latter alternative won. But love of life was too strong in this man to go down before the mere argument of a sophisticated brain. In the end, Doctor Melerberg went out to a shanty town of an altitude and dryness necessary to his well being, and there took up his abode. The wide open spaces. God's country, Back to nature. Cactus Post was all those. A little smear of a town situated on the slope of a mountain that hung between desert and snow-caps. The sun came up In glory over Cactus Post and went down In magnificence. The air was as dry, as thln-tastlng, as sparkling, as champagne and, every morning of his life Doctor Meierberg awoke to the incredibly lovely chippertngs of birds he did not know by hame, and to the clear ringing sound of axes hurling Into the wilderness of tree boles that lined the mountain side. Glory hung over Cactus Post Dewlit mornings. Peace-drenched noondays. Long, somnolent afternoons filed with what the doctor knew was sedative balm for his wounded lung. Evenings before a pine wood fire that went deeply up Into the nostrils like the tickling elixir of a chartreuse.' Leisure for reading that never before in all his closely packed years of struggle and endeavor had the doctor en- Joyed. Boxes of books arrived from the East almost weekly, and were read! Not merely placed on a reading table to be read at some, future time. But read, there and thenS* The folks In Cactus Post were a goodly enough sort, too. Simple women and girls. Bred to the open spaces. Fearless folk. Fine, the doctor thought And yet it must be admitted that as the months marchcd along and then the years, such a nostalgia began to lay hold of the doctor that the heart of him was almost as sore as his healing lung had been. Years of the coyote-riddled, night silences. The flaming sunrises ushering in the long, somnolent days The gorgeous sunsets ushering them out Monotony. The old days began to gnaw at him. Closing his eyes of an evenlbg beside his book-stacked fireplace, the doctor could visualise things back home. The Incandescent-eyed city. Women who were a million years and three thousand miles alien to these husky, calicoclad ones, wrapping themselves in furs and riding out Into the spangled evenings. The warm, vibrant flare of life along New York's Broadway. Mental stimulant of theaters and concerts. The voice of the city. The warm, pulsing note of humanity. That was It Humanity. The doctor was lonesome unto death. The wide, open spaces were too wide. Too open. Humanity was a charmed circle closing within It life and love and warmth and beauty. Secretly, the nostalgia was becoming almost more than the doctor could bear. And yet, he knew that, somehow, he must stick It out for another year. He knew himself on the road to recovery but he dared not hasten the way along that road. Another year, what with careful living and right habits, would see the spot on his lung healed. Another year! Sometimes, during the passing of It, the doctor feared for his sanity. Tedium of waiting. Terrible, terrible tedium of waiting. Then there was his sense of delicacy and of actual fear of revealing his state of mind to the people about him. To the sweet-eyed Clarissa who rode In twelve miles on horseback to tend his shanty for him day by day and rode home through the purple, star-spangled desert without fear. The cowboys, tlffe ranchers, the homesteaders who bad been his good friends. Who took him along on their jaunts into the heart of the universe. Who taught him the secret things of nature. Who had been kind to him. Who were kind to him. It was unthinkable to let these good people know how the heart within him was a heavy thing. Up to the very day of his departure for the East, he kept It from them. Had not the heart to tell them that his departure was final. That he was ffls Eajejmeat • • 0 Jod Tunkins says he went to the big town expectin' a high old time and the only way he could enjoy hliraaelf all evenln' was sendln' letters to the home folks.--Washington Star. \v; a"* i ' tiHtcLtut •• 1 ** A 1 » < > .» 1 v, * \ \ if- A" . V the desert dust off Ms ftoet forever.' They had been good. Kind. Their delight in h^s cure was scarcely less than his own. When he finally steppe tate the rattling tin can of a car th%t was to drive him the forty miles to th« nearest station where he took his trai^ ft with the understanding that tv% to return to then III the eutonm. Hik shanty was to be there and waiting.\? Hto'ft1ends. Like-wT^stk, the doctor turned his back on Cactus Post knowing be had lied to them and yet had lied out of the kindness of his heart The little group of them waving him good-by. The fel Iowa Bless them. The handful of women In their calico who had been so kind to htm. Mrs. Hodges, the general storekeeper's wlf», who had nursed him through bronchitis. Sweet-eyed Clarissa who had tended him so faithfully. Bless them. The city met him like a hoeas st ocean; a surf of humanity running and hissing up against his test ids first step off the train. Bing. Boom. Bang. The heart leept In his bosom. The eager, quick-footed mea There! The women in their furs and the beautifylssg wrappings that he had so missed. Even their painted faces! Gaiety was here. J*v!se of life. The streets swam vitality. Rush. Eagerness. Lights biased. The hotel where he stopped had the warm, perfumed quality to tt, that reminded him of the bare shoulders of women and the whisper of furs. Life! Vitality. Sophistication. Here were the men who made the universe go around The women who made the universe matter. The city caught him up once more. Goaded him. Spurred him. Within the month he was on the old tread-mill again, straining, yearning, aspiring. The young doctor was baek In "the race. The profession which had practically forgotten him began to turn an eye upon him again. The doctor was back again. Cored. In the race. And after the first six months. It was borne In upon an amazed, s startled young doctor that the race no longer mattered. His work, the scientific curiosity that spurred him on, his love of it could not be best pursued here In these marts of men. The doctor had tested of the beauty and the peace and the nobility of (Julet. He missed the ring of axes into wood. The gibberish of birds against dawn. The clpar voices of women calling through high, thin air. This was a roar. The lights of the theaters represented the cheap tarnished pastimes that i>eople sought. People without the leisure or the nerves for quiet reading. People who must forever be jamming, pushing, seeking. In all the months ! since his return, he had not had one evening for quiet reading. The stack i of books beside his bed was half a man high. Life had him once more.; By the scroff of the neck. The painted faces of the women mocked him. Pallid faces gone flabby from lack of the simple things that had kept those calico-clad ones out there firm fleshed and bright eyed even by light of dawn. The autumn came around. The color of asphalt In the city. The color of quartz and topaz and cornelian and ruby and lapis lazuli In Cactus Post The doctor knew! Knew It with his hesfit that was aching. And so, come autumn, as he had promised, the doctor did return to his shanty, in Cactus Post. A sunset the color of the blood that must have been surging around his heart met him as he stepped out of the rickety tin automobile that had driven him the many miles from the station. Clarissa of the sweet eyes met hiss, too. • -uC' u The doctor had come home.

It seems that in 400 years there have been 140 severe hurricanes, of which only ten touched St Thomas and St Croix. On July 26, which Is called Supplication day, all the people go to church, to ask God to preserve them from hurricanes. July 26 Is considered the beginning of the hurricane season. On that day the natives pack their most valued possessions and begin to watch Signal hill. , When a storm is coming the government runs a flag up on Signal hill--a red flag with a black disk. When a second flag appears every one runs to "bar up." The bouses are all provided with heavy wooden shutters, to shut against the wind and rain. Masters and servants hurry about with hammers, nailing bars that close doors and windows. When the third flsg appears the hurrlcune is near, though there Is always a warning of several hours. Then the world grows dark, and hot and still. Not a leaf moves. It seems as though there must be s mistake. Then, suddenly, the gale breaks. The usual length of s hurricane Is 12 houra The wind tears off roofs and uproots trees. The rain makes noise beyond belief. And the black night Is filled with lightning. The sea comes in and floods the town, tearing up the cement waterfront beating down the cabins on the shore. At last It Is over. Crops and groves are ruined Great palm trees are felled And there is devastation evesfwbere. But the sky Is blue as! heaven. And the sun dances on the wares. And the people all go up to church, to thank God because ha spared their lives. • • - . .1 , / f: V v- .. .. Jt* ... . f ' l - a*s« , ..V . ...
