"Lay the book upon tile bench," be or

Complex the knots were, but his warped
and palsied fingers deftly undid them lis
though long familiar with each turn and
tivlsl. Then off came many a layer of
the rough brown s.-avveed raurlo ami arter
vvard certain covoiings of tough shark-skin
neatly sewn.
"The book !" cried the patriarch. "Now

"That?" exclaimed lleatrlce. "I never

"Hneh page Is separately preserved,
wherefore It Is so very thick." explained
the old man. "Sec here?"
lie turned the leavfs reverently Stern,
peering closely hv the dim light, saw that

between two large plates of mica, and these
plates vvoro securely sealed around tho
edges by somo black substance llko varnish
or bitumen, 1
"Only thus," explained the patriarch,
"could we hope to save this precious thing
It wns done many hundreds or years ago,
and even then the book was nhnost lost by
age and use."
"I should tay so!" ejaculated Slern. Kven

"You remember my telling you or Katie
Fls who lived in a big restaurant In New
York She and her parents had a com
fortable home In a picture frame until it
began to tip. and then Katie fell out of
bed and Mm. Fly said It was not safe to
stay there any more, so they moved to an
other frame high up on the wall, and there
they lived In peace.
"One morning Mrs. Fly said to Katie:
'I think you are old enough to go about
yourself now, only do Le careful what you
eat.'
"I know I shall have a lovely time."
said Katie, putting on her wings. '1 will
not go outside tho restaurant and shall not
eat anything except what you have shown
me.'
"So Katie starlet! out to see all there
was to see in the restaurant, and. first of
all. she lit on a table, and there she found
a big bowl with u lot of llltlo white grains
In it. looking so much Ilka sand that Katie
thought she would walk around In It a bit
Then she tasted It, and what do you think
It was?" asked Billy llumpus.
"Sugar," said Nannie Goat.
"That's right," said her father. "Then
she saw something brown around the edges
and white and soft in the middle. She knew
that was what she fell on when she tumbled
out of bed and on to the fat man's bald
head; from there she slid to, what?"
"It sounded like bread. Daddy," said Nan

What do you think it waa?"
"A banana "
These are all too easy," said her father
"I will now give you a bard one. The next
thing Katie Fly looked at waa a cute little
pot with a dainty wooden handl sticking

"Lung ago," continued the "Id man.
"when tho book began to crumble, ono of
my ancestors copied it on gold plates, word
hy word, letter by letter, every point and
line. And our family used only that book
uf gold and put away the other, lint in
my grandfather's time the Liuskaarn raid
id our village and the gold plates went for
loot to make them trinkets, so they were
lost.
''My father meant to begin the task again,
but was killed In a raid 1. too. in my
fighting youth, had plans for the work; but
blindness btruck me bcfuiK I could find
peace to labor lu. So now all that remains
of the mother tongue here is my own knowl

you save us not, soon all, all will be lost
forever !"
Much moveu. me engineer maue no reply,
yet thoughts came crowding to his brain.
Here visibly before him he beheld the final
link that tied these lost Folk to the other

history could this book have toll? What
vast catastrophes, famines, pestilences.
wars, horrors n 11 iwssen inrongnr in
what unwritten cataclysms, in what anguish
and despair and long degeneration had the
human mind still clung to It and cher
ished it?
No one could tell: yet Stern felt the es

patlioa haloed the ancient volume. And
reverently he touched Its pages once again;
he bent and by the guttering light tried to
make out a few words here or there upon
the crackled, all but perished leaves
Ue came upon a crude old woodcut, vague
and dim: then uf line of text caught his eye

lleatrlce eagerly seconded his plans The
old man. too, vvns impatient ns a child to
learn inoro or this wondei or the upper
world And, translating to the folk the
diiectlnns ihat Slern gavo him, bo soon hnd
0 great tnrong on the beach, where tay not
only the Folk's canoes, but also many left
by the slaughtered and dlspetsed J,uns
kaarn. Two hours after tho crudo meal lhat must
ba called breakfast for want of a better
mime, the expedition was ready to start.
Twenty-five of the largest boaiB. some
holding ivvelvo men. set out. to the accom
paniment of shouting and singing much like
that vvhon the captives had been brought in
Stern, lleatrlce and the patriarch all sat in
ono canoe with light puddlers. In the bot
tom lay Stern's heavy grapple, with the ten
long ropes, now dated Into a single cable,
securely knotted to Its ring
To Stern It seemed impossible that any
means existed fur locating, even approx
imately the spot vvheie the machine had
fallen As the shore failed away and the
village lights disappeared in the gloom and
mist, till landmarks vanished Hver where
about litem the dim, oily sea slrulched black
und gloomy, with here and thero the ton lies
of the little lltet casting strange blue-green
ngnts tout wavered like ghostly vrill-o'-Iho-wlsps
over the water
The boatmen s sung wailed high, sank
low, trembled and ceased: and for a while
came silence, save for the dipping of the
paddles, tho purling of the waters at the
bow of the lanor The engineer, despite
bis hard-headed practicality, shuddered a
little and drew his mantle closer around
him.
lleatilce, too. felt the eerie mystery of
the scene Stern put an arm about her, she
slid her baud Into bis, uml thus In silence
ihey sat thinking while tbe boats drew
011 and on.
"They really know where ihw'rn going,
rather?" tho engineer naked at length.
"It all looks alike to me. ltow can they
tell?"
"Verily, I cannot explain that to you,"
the old man made answer. "We know,
that is all." '
"But "
"Had I been always blind you could not
expound sight to me. A deaf man cannot
understand sound."
"You mean you've developed some new
Mnke, tome knowledge of direction and loca
tion tlt we haven't got?"
"Yea, it must be so. In all these many
centuries among the dark mists we have
to know. And this gloom, this night, are
the same tu us as you have told mu a lake
011 the surface would be to you In the
brightness of that sun which none of us
lias ever yet beheld."
"Is that so? Well, hanged If I get It!
However, no matter about that Just so
they locate the place. Can they find the
exact spot, father?"
."Perhaps not so. Hut' they will come
near to It. my son. Only have patience,
ou shall see"'
Stern, and the girl relapsed Into silence
again, and for pel haps a quarter-hour the
boats moved steadily forward through the
vapors in a kind of crescent, tbe tips of
which, were hidden by the mist.

"All right, fathPi!" ho pcl.tlmed sharply.
"Tell our boatmen to glvo way!"
The old man tiansl.ited the order: "Rhaa
vrouaad, m'yann"' (Co forward, men.) Tho
paddles dipped ngnln and Stein's ennoo
moved silently ovei the Inky surface.
Bvery sense alert, the engineer nt the
gunwale held tho cable. For a few seconds
ho felt nothing as tho slack was taken
up; then he peiccivcd a tug and know the
grapple was dragging.
Now Intense slleuco iclgned, broken only
by the sputter of tho smoking torches. Tho
canoes, spaced ovpr the foggy ,en, seemed
Homing in a void of nothingness, each re
lieved IlRhl quiveied ntul danced with weird
and ticinulous patterns.
Stein played the cable as though it wero

110 felt that it was dragging over sand;
now came rocks and once it caught, held,
then Jerked tree. His heart leaped wildly.

All at once n tug. dlfTcient from all
others, yielding, yet firm, set his pulses
hammering again.
"Uot it!" ho shouted, for ho knew the
truth. "Hold fast, there she's hooked I"
"You've got It. Allan? lteally got it?"
cried tho girl, starting up. "Oh"
"Feel this !" he answered. "Hrab hold
and pull !"
Sho obeyed, trembling with catrerni
"It's caught through ono of tho nllerons
or some Melding part, I think," he said.
Here, help ine hold It light now; we
mustn't let the hook slip out again!" To
tho patriarch ho added: "Toll 'em to back
up thete easy easy!"
The cunuo backed, while Stern took up
the slack again. When tho pull from be-
iow was vertical ho ordered the boat
stopped.
"Now get nine other boats close In here,"
commanded he.
The old man gavo the order. And pres
ently nine canoes stood In near nt lian.i
while all the rest lay irregularly grouped
about them
Now Stern's plan nf tho tenfold cable
developed Itself. Already ho was untwist
lug the thick rope one by one he passed
the separate cords to men in tho other
boat And In a few minutes he and nine
other men held the ropes, which, nil at
tached to the big Iron -Ing below, spread
upward like the ribs of an Inverted urn-
nreiia
The engineer's schemo was working to
perfection. Well he had realized that no
one boat could have suitleed to lift the
great weight of the machine. Kven the
largest canoe would havo capsized and sunk
long before a single portion of tho Pauillao
and Its engine had been so much ns stirred
fioni the sandy bottom
Hut with the buoyant power of ten ca
noes and twenty or thlity men all ai.nlied
simultaneously. Stern figured he had a rea
sonablo chance of lalsiug tho sunken aero
plane. The fact that it was submerged,
together with the diminished gravitation of
thu Abyss, ulso worked In his favor. And
us he saw tho Folk-men grip the cords
with muscular hands, awaiting his com
mand, ho thrilled with pride, and with tho
sense of real achievement.
"Come, now, boys!" he cried. "Pull!
Heave-ho, there! Altogether, lift her!
Pull 1"
lie strained at the rope which he nnd
two others held: tbe rest each rope now
held by three or four men bent their backs
to the labor As the ropes drew tense the
canoes crowded and Jobtled together. Those
men who were not nt the ropea worked
with tho paddles to keep the boats apart
mi that the ropes should not foul or bind.
And In nil Irregular ring, all round the
active canoes, tbe others drew. Lighted
by so many torches, the misty waters glit
tered as broken waves, thrown out by the
agitation of the canots, radiated In all
directions.
"Pull, boys, pull'" shouted the engineer
again. "Up she comes! Now, all to
gether ! '
