CHAPTJnt XXII (Continued) BUT thero wns scant time for thought. Alrendv tliov rnulcl urn dayllaht glim mering In through tho gnto past tho massive column of tho conifer. Daylight and with It came a thin nnd ncrld smoke and sounds of tho uprousrd llordo In Madison Forest. "Slow! Slow, now!" whispered Stern "Don't let 'em know a thing until we've got 'cm covered ! If wo surprise "em Just right, who knows but the whole Infernnl mob may duck anil run Don't shoot till you have to; hut when you do !" "I know !" breathed she. Then, all nt once, thero they wero at the gate, nt tho big tree, standing out there In tho open, on the thick carpet of plno spills. And before them lay tho mossy, shnded forest nlsles what a horror camped alt through that peaceful, wondrous place ! "Oh !" gasped Ilcatrlco. Tho engineer stopped ns though frozen. His hand tight ened on the rovolver butt till the knuckles whitened. And thus, face to fnco with the Horde, they stood for a long mlnuto. Neither of them realized exactly the dctnlls of thnt first Impression. Tho nar row silt of view which they had already got through the crack In the wall had only very Imperfectly prepared them for any under standing of what theso Things realty were, en mnsse. nut bo(h lientrlce nnd the engineer un derstood, oven nt tho first moment of their exit there, thnt they hnd entered un nd venturo whereof the end could not bo foro sci'n : that hero before them lay possibilities Infinitely tnoro serious than any they had contemplated. For one thing, they hnd underestimated the number of the Horde. They hnd thought, perhaps, there might be live hun dred in nil. Tho torches had certainly numbered no moro than that. Hut now they realized KNOWLEDGE IS NOT ALWAYS POWER Copyrlsht, Life Tubllahlnz Company. Iteprlnted by special arrancement. that tha torch bearers hnd been but a very small fraction of tha whole; for, as their eyes swept out through tho forest, whence tho fog had almost wholly risen, they be held a moving, swarming mass ot the creatures on every hand. A mass that seemed to extend on, on to Indefinite vistas. A mass that moved, clicked, shifted, grunted, stank, snarled, quarreled. A mass of fright ful hldeousness, of Inconceivable menace. The girl's first Impulse was to turn, to retreat back Into the building once more; but her native courage checked It. For Stern, she saw, had no such purpose. Surprised though he was, ha stood there like a rock, head up, revolver ready, every muscle tense and ready for whatsoever might befall. And through the girl flashed a thrill ot admiration for thin virile. In domitable men, coping with every dint culty, facing every peril for her sake. Yet the words he uttered now were. not EMMA HARTMAN 1502 Walnut Street Announces REDUCTIONS ON Tailleurs, Wraps Da$ and Evening Gowns Blouses and Hats COMMENCING MONDAY DECEMBER POURf H of classlo heroism. They were simple, col loquial, Inelegant. For Stern, his eyes blaz ing, said only; We're In bad. girl I They're on we've got to bluff bluff like the devil 1" Have you ever seen a herd ot cattle on tha prairie, a herd of thousands, shift nnd face and, as by Instinct, loner their horned heads against some enemy a wolf pack, maybe? You know then how this Horde of dwarf ish, blue, warty, mlsformed little horrors woke to the presence of the unknown enemy. Already half alarmed by the warning given by the one which, near the crack In the wall, had sniffed the Intruders nnd had howled, the pack now broke Into commo tion. Stern nnd llealrlco saw a confused upheaving, n shitting nnd a tumult They hoard a yapping outcry. The long, thin spears began to bristle. And all at once, ns a dull, ugly hornet hum rose through ths wood, they knew the moment for quick action was upon them. "Here goes!" cried Stern, raging. "Let's see how this will strike the hell hounds I" His face white with passion and with loathing hate, he raised the automatlo. He aimed nt none of the pack, for angry as ha was he realized that tho time was not yet como for killing, If olher means to reach tho spring could possibly avail. Instead he pointed the ugly blue muzzle up torrnrd tha branches of a maple, under which n denso swarm of the Horde had encamped and now was staring, apelike, at him. Then his finger sought the trigger. And nvo ci'ackllng spurts ot flame, five shots spat out Into the calm nd misty nlr of morning. A few severed leaves swayed down Idly with a swinging motion. A broken twig fell, hung suspended a moment, then detached Itself again and dropped to earth. "Oood Lord! Look nt that, will you?" cried Stern. A startled cry broke from tho girl's lips. Both of them had expected some effect from the sudden fusillade, but nothing Ilka that which actually resulted. For. an tho quick shots echoed to still ness ngaln. nnd oven before the first of the falling leaves splrnlril to tho ground, an nbsohito. unbroken silence fell upon that vllo rnbblo of beast-men the silence of a numbing, paralyzing, sheer brute terror. Somo stood motionless, crouching on their bandy legs, holding to whntsoover tree or bush wns nenrest. staring with wild eyes. Others dropped to their knees. Hut by far tho greatest part, thousands on thousands of the llttlo monstrosities, foil prone nnd groveling. Their hideous mask like faces hidden, thero they lay on the moss and nil nmnng the undergrowth, the trnm pled, desecrated, befouled undergrowth of Madison Forest. Then nil at once, over nml hvnmi ii,Bm Stern saw tho blue-curling smudgn of the remains of tho great fire by tho spring He knew thnt. for a fow brief, all-prccious moments, the wny might possibly bo clear to como nnd go to get wnter to save Ilcatrlco nnd himself from tho thirst tor turesto procuro tho ono necessary thing for tho making of his Pulverlto. His heart gavo a great, upboundlng leap. Look, Ucatrlce!" cried ho, hla voice ringing out ovor tho terror-stricken things. Look wo'ro gods ! While this Inats gods I Come. now"a our only chsnee!

Stern exclaimed, shuddering at sight ot tho unspeakable hldeousness ot tho things, nt glimpses of gnawed bones, grisly bits ot Itesh, dried gouts of blood upon tho woodland carpet. "Don't think Just come along! "Five minutes, and we're safe, there and back again. S-hh-h! Don't hurry! Count, now count your stepsone, two, three four, five, six so steady, steady) " Now they were ten yards from the tower, now twenty. liravely they walked, now straight ahead among the trees, now circling some Individual, some horrid group. Stern held the water pall firmly. Ho gripped tha revolver In a grasp of Iron. The magazine rifle lay In both the girl's hands, ready for Instant use. Suddenly Stern fired ngaln, three shots. "Home of 'em moving, over there!" he inpyrlaht, Ufa Publlahliis Company. Iteprlnted by special arrantement. (Jvie nnd daughters of millionaire, tomjiperf tit blanket, aro talking to father.) "Really, Alonzo, tho girls nnd I hnvon't n tiling to wear." . said In a crisp, ugly tone, "I guess a llttlo lend closo to their enrs will fix 'cm for a while!" His volco went to n hoarse whisper. "Clods!" ho repented. "Don't forget It, for a moment; don't loso that thought, for It may pull us through! These crcaturen here.
