CHAPTER THITRY-FOUR 1 AS THE night wore on. the bat- 1 tie waxed desperate and furious I The droning, hissing noise of the ; grasshoppers rose in a sullen relentless wave above the crackling Os the Sre which was consuming them. They swarmed in black clouds above the ditches, smothering the fires where the gasoline had been exhausted by the terrific force of their numbers. Long since, the family had ceased to be mere onlookers. In the cruel lack of fighters, everyone had taken a band Jlme was making good use of Sandy's first aid kit, bandaging the blistered hands of the diggers. Maria had a camp stove going on the back of one of the trucks. A peon boy, too young to be of much service in the fighting, drove her along the line of burning trenches to dispense cups of hot coffee. Eve:. Roxie had felt tbe call to duty. She rode tn the truck, asking the smoke-erased fighters, as she handed them the steaming coffee, if they wanted one lump or two. In spite of Roxie's assistance, however. Maria was doing good work. Terry was driving the gasoline truck. She had taken over the job automatically when the driver leaped out to help pour gaaoiine at a particularly erueial point where the tucura had threatened to overwhelm entirely the tottering barricade. She waa too exdted to be afraid of the dangerous mission she had undertaken. She drove the same distance the peon had from the leaping flames, watching along

the line of fire for dark breaks that meant a desperate need of fuel, racing to these points to whirl the truck around so that the fighters could most easily reach the ga*» tanks on the back. She was unconscious of time. Only the sudden attacks of weakness tn tor tense arms and legs made her conscious of the hours they tod been held at straining positions Then a dark arm, in waving silhouette down along the line of flaztoa, would push all thought of rest or weariness again from her mind. It was ths fighters who were killing themselves! They looked haggard and desperate now, leaning with heavy, coughing breaths on the handles of their shpvels in the few moments of respite while the gasoline was being poured. Brooks and Sandy alone seemed unaware of fatigue. Going up and down the line, shouting orders, shovaltaif, paunng gasoiiM. they ware animated with the U«tousU-

Terry called back to him, “Are we gel ting them, Sandy?" The wiry little Scot grinned back at tor through hia clenched teeth. •‘l'm fearful we’re not!" to called back hoarsely. "It's the worst plague of ’em we've ever had. They're gatherin' themailves foe the big puah, I think, and we've not enough fighters to hold 'em. Once they get clear away over the barricade the whole field's gone." He screwed shut the gasoline faucet on the tank, swearing. “Those bloody wretched peons—ungrateful whelps — sitting down while we lose part of our crop!" Once into words, his resentment flared into fury. "I’ll go down there again with a Shotgun!” he yelled. •They'll come 1 and neip or they’ll feel a lead tn their stomachs''' He set the gas can down in the truck and turned 1 belligerently—to face Brooks. » Terry watched the drama with r caught breath. Brooks’ face was 1 Mack with roioke. his eyes biood- > shot, but his voict was low and ctm- • trolled with a timbre of command • in it: t 'There will be no force used on s any peon on this eatanebia, Sandy, » without my consent." 1 Sandy’s belligerence slowly fwled f as to glared st Brooks Silently he

took the gasoline can Brook, gave him and went back to the trench. Brooks shook his head, looking after him. "A good man, Sandy." Terry argued, "Don't you think a little force on the stubborn idmU might help?" Brooks swung around to tor. “Tou told me yourself they have their reasons!” He went off then. Terry stared after him. How could he be so just when part of his crop was in the balance? She felt abruptly ashamed of toroelf. 3be had told Brooks the peons were loyal but afraid- In her resentment al ttoir in this Ume .of emergency ato had almost torgot--1 ten they had a aide.

dazed with fatigue to was of little use in the digging, and ordered him to carry on in the truck. She ran across to the station wagon and drove off In It down the narro*' road, her foot pressing the throttle to the floor. She raced the car through the darkness in the direct ion of the largest settlement of peon houses. She knew she had some small weight with them. They liked tor. Maybe it she talked fast enough—pleaded. A small hope, but the only one left • As she neared the group of houses her powerful headlights picked up an amazing sight. It looked as though every peon was standing in the mob Hocking tbe road that went past the houses! ( She pulled to a screeching stop at the edge of the crowd and leaped out. Her sudden appearance seemed to have shocked them. The gathering was frozen, their heads turned toward tor as If she were a sudden apparition. They tod been looking at a speaker on the back of a truck drawn up beside the road. He, too. 1 was staring at her as though too l surprised for flight or anger. She recognized him. It was Tomas, one 1 of the new employes on the list of 1 workers Brotos had ordered from Sandy. But It was the other man on the truck tor eyes fixed upon. She I gesped. Juanita But a frightful Juanito! i His shirt was oft Tomas' hand still , was on Ms bare shoulder. He had been exhibiting him to the silent I crowd. Juanito's face and torso was t a mass of hombie sears! The man

had been whipped brutally—teatsn. from the weak look of bis eyes, within an inch of his life! Suddenly Terry saw again the crowd of frightened peons before Juanito’s bouse yoaterday. That was why they wouldn't let ter in. Juanito had bean beaten then! Then—just after Sandy had sent him to the isolated gasoline shed to check ths gas’ He bad obeyed Sandy’s orders! In a blinding Baah of understanding she saw it all now. The tong black hand of the organization had caught him there —to make him an example of what would happen to evgry peon who helped the ertatieia in this estergency! No wonder—these poor, frightened, helpless people! Her anger at them wae awaitowed in furious sympathy. With a choking cry, half fury, half sob, she made her way determinedly through them toward the truck platform. <to Be CtotuuMd)
