STUKN nnd Beatrice stood Ihcrc n few
seconds at tho foot of the ladder,
speeohless, utterly at a loss for any words
to volco the turmoil of confused thoughts
awakened by this Inexplicable apparition
But all at once tho girl, with a wordless
cry, sank on her knees beside thn vnst
looming bulk of tho lower She covered her
face with both hands and through her fin
gers the tears of Joy began to flow.
"Saved oh, wo re sav ed I" rrled she.
"Thero are people and they'ro coming for
us!"
Stern glanced down at her," an Inscru
table expression on his facn. which bad
grown hard and set and ugly. Ills lips
moved, as though he were saying something
to himself; but no sound ercaped them
Then, quite suddenly, he laughed a mirth
less laugh. To him vividly flashed back
tho memory of the flint spearhead nnd tho
gnawed leg bone, cracked open so tho
marrow could be sucked out, all gashed with
savage tooth marks,
A certain creepy sensation began to de
velop along his spine Ho felt u prickling
on tho nape of his neck, ns tho hair stirred
there Instinctively he reached for his re
volver. "So then," he srecred nt himself, "wo'ro
up against It, after alt? And all my calcu
lations about the world being swept clear,
wore so much punk? Well, well, this Is
Interesting Oh. I see It coming, all right
good nnd plcnt) and soon I"
But the girl Interrupted his ugly thought
as ha stood there straining his cyts out
Into tho dark
"How splendid I How glorious1" cried
she. "Only to think thnt we're go'ng to
see peoplo ngaln I Can you Imagine It?"
"Hardly."
"Why, what's tho mntter? You speak
ns though you weren't saved I"
"I didn't mean to. It's Just surprise, I
guess "
"Come! Let's signal them with a fire
from the tower top I'll help carry wood
Let's hurry down nnd run and meet them 1"
Highly excited, tho girl had got to her
feet again, nnd now clutched the, engineer's
arm In burning eagerness,
"Let's go' tlo ntonco! This minute!"
But he restrnlncd hor.
"You don't really think that would ho
qulto prudent, do ou?" asked ho "Sot
Just yet?"
"Why not?"
"Why, can't you see? We that Is, thero
Is no way to tell "
"But they'ro coming to save us, can't you
see? Somehow, somewhere, they must have
caught that signal And shall we wait,
and perhaps let them lose us, after all?"
"Certainly not. But first we why. wo
ought to make quite sure, you understand

He started at the word. "What makes

feminine perfume of her to his nostrils.

dltilnesa crept over him, as from a glass
of wlno on an empty stomach. The call of

pelled It. And, watching the creeping lights,
ho spnko; spoke to himself as much as to

"There's a chance, a mere possibility,"
said he, "that those boats, canoes, coracles
or whatever they may be. belong to white

began to silver through a thin veil of cirrus
