Together they traversed tho troplc-sccnilng woods, allamc with brilliant flowers, dank with ferns and laced with twining Mac. In tho treetops strango trees, fruit laden parrakects and flashing green nnd crimson birds of pnrndlso disturbed the little monkeyfolk that cliat'cred at tho In truders. Once a coral-red snake whipped nway, hissing, but not quick enough to dodgo a ball from Stern's revolver. Stern viewed tho ugly, triangular bead with npprehcnslon, Well ho know that venom dwelt there, but ho said nothing, Tho ono and only rhanco of successfully transplanting tho Folk must bo to regions warm as these. All dangers must bo braved a tlmo till they could grow acclimated to tho upper nlr. After that but tho n8t ness of tho futuro deterred everi specula tion. I'erlls wero Inevitable. Tho moro thero wero to overcomo tho greater tho victory. "On to tho cliffs!" said he, clasping tho girl's hand in his own and making a path for her. Thus presontly they reached tho edge of tho canyon. "Jiugnlflcet !" cried Beatrice as they camo out on tho overhang of tho rock wall. "With thesa fruitful woods bchlndr that river In front, nnd theso natural for tifications for our homo, what moro could wo want?" "Nothing oxcept caves," Stern answered. "Let's call Ihls New Hope Itlver, eh? And tho cliffs?" "Sottlemcnt Cliffs'" she exclaimed. "Done I Well, now let's see." For tho better part of tho morning they explored' tho face of tho palisade. Its height, they estimated, ranged from two to threo hundred feet, .shelving down In rough terraces to tho rocky debris through nnd beyond which foamed the strong cur rent of New Hope Itlver, n stream aver aging nbout two hundred yards In width, Up-current n broader pool gave promise of excellent fishing. It overflowed Into violent rapids, with swift, whlto waters noisily cascading. "There, Incidentally," Stern remarked, with tho practical perception of the en gineer, "there's power enough, when prop erly harnessed, to light a city nnd to turn machinery nd libitum. I don't see how wo could better this site, do you?" "Not If you think thero are good chances for cave-dwellings," she made nnswer. "From what we'vo seen already, it looks promising Ot course, there'll be a deal of work to do ; but thero nro excellent pos sibilities here First rate." Fortune seemed bent on favorlng them. The limestone cliff, fantastically eroded, offered a score of shelters, somo shallow and needing to bo walled up In front, others deep nnd tortuous. All was in utter con fusion. Stern saw that tho terraces would have to bo blasted nnd leveled, roads nnd stairs built nlong tho face of tho rock nnd down to the river, stalactites and stalagmites cut nway. chambers fashioned, and a vast deal of labor done. Itut the rough framework of a cliff colony undeniably existed here. Ho doubted whether It would bo possible to find a moro favorable site without long and tedious travels. "I guess we'll take tho apartments nnd sign the lease," ho decided toward noon, after they had clambered, pried, explored with improvised torches nnd penetrated far Into somo of the grottoes. "Tho main thing to consider Is that wo can find darkness nnd humidity for tho Folk by day. They mustn't ho let out nt first except In tho night. It may be weeks or months beforo they can stand the direct sunlight. But that, too, will come. Patience, girl pa tience nnd time and nil will yet be done." Yet, even as bo Bpokef n stranga anxiety, n prescience of tremendous difficulties, broode.d In his soul, These wero not cattlo that he had to deal with, but men. Could ho nnd Beatrice, rulers of tho Folk though they now were, could they with their paltry knowledge of tho people's lan guage, superstitions, prejudices and inner life really bring nbout this great migra tion? Could they ravish a nntlon from Its ac customed home, transplant it bodily, force new conditions on it, train, teach, civilize It? All this without rebellion, anarchy and failure? "God I" thought the engineer. "The labors of Hercules wero child's play beside this problem !" His heart quaked at the thought of nil that lay nhead : yet through everything, deep In the basjo strata of his being, ho knew that all should bo and must be as ho planned, Barring death only, tho seemingly im possible should como to pass. "I swear It!" he murmured to himself. "For her sake, for theirs and for the world's, I Bwear It shall be 1" At high noon they emerged once more from the caverns, climbed the steep cliff face and again stood on the heights. Facing northward, their gaze swept tho lower river bank opposite, and reached nway, over the rolling hills and plain that lay a virgin forest to the dim horizon, brooding, mysterious, quivering with fer tility and wild, strange life. - "Somo time," he prophesied sweeping his arm out toward the wilderness some time al) that and far beyond shall bo dotted with clearings and rich farms, with villages, schools, towns, cities. Broad high ways shall traverse it The hum of motors, of machinery, of industryof Jlfo Itself shall one day displace the cry ot beast and bird. ,"Somo time the Kngllsh tongue Bhall reign her again here and beyond, Hera strong men shall toll and build rind 'reap and rest. Hero love shall reign and women be called "mother,' Here, children shall play and learn and grpw to manhood and to womanhood, secure and free.'" "Somo ttma ait good thlnts'ihall her com to realisation. Tun,' and poverty .!. rilr.' "P" '"evf Jj f Mfr "Some time, here, 'nil shall b better than well.' Bom time 1" He circled her with his arm, and for a while they stod surveying this cradle of tho new race. Much moved, Beatrice drew very close to him. They mad no speech. For tho dreams they two wero dreaming, as the golden sun Irradiated all that vast, magnificent wilderness, passed 'any power: of words'. Only she whispered "Somo time I" too, nnd Allan knew she shared with htm the glory of his vast, tremendous vision! CHArTEB X ' Separation THBY spent tho remainder of that day nnd all the next In hard work, making practical preparations for tho arrival of the first settlers. Allan assured himself tho waters of New Hope Itlver wero soft and pure nnd that an amplo supply of fish dwelt In the pool as well as In tho rapids trout, salmon and plko ot new varieties and great size, ns well ns other species. Beatrice and he, working together, put tho largest and darkest of the caves Into habltablo order. They also prepared, for their own uso, a sunny grotto, which they thought could with reasonablo labor be made Into a comfortable temporary home. "Though It Isn't our own cozy bungalow, and never can be," she remarked rather mournfully, surveying the fireplace of rough ly piled stones Allan had built. "Oh, dear, If wo only could have had that to llvo In while " Ho stopped her yearning with a kiss. "There, there llttlo girl," he cheered her, "don't bo Impatient All in good tlmo we'll havo nnolhcr, garden and sundial and everything All In good tlmo. Tho more wo havo to overcome, the moro we'll appre-. clato results, eh? The only really serious matter to consider now Is you I" "Mo, Allan? Why, what do you mean? What about mo?" Ho sat down on tho rough-hewn bench of logs that ho had fashioned nnd drew her to him "Listen, Beta. This Is very serious." "What, Allan? Has anything happened?" "No, and nothing must, cither. That's what's troubling mo now. tour separation, I mean " "Our why. what " "Don't you sco? Can't you understand? We've got to be npart a while.

Now If you take tho trip back Into tho Abyss I can only bring one, Just ono of tho Folk back with me And nt that rato vou can sen for yourself how long It will tako to make even a beginning at colonization. I figure three or four days for tho round trip, at tfio In side. If you go we'll bo all summer nnd moro getting even twcnty-flvo or thirty col onists here.

Shall I abandon tho whole attempt and settle down with you hero nlono, nnd " "No. no, no! Not that, 'Allan!" "I know you'd say so. After all, tho futuro of tho rnco merfns more than our own welfare or comfort or anything. Even our safety hns got to bo risked for It. So you set; " Sho thought a moment, clinging to him, somewhat pale and shaken, but with an In definable courago In her eyes. Then asked she: "Wouldn't it be possible In somo way for you can, do nnythlng. Allan wouldn't It bo possible for you to build another ma chlno? Surely In the ruins of some city not too far away. In Nashville, Cincinnati or Detroit, you could find materials! Couldn't you make another aeroplane nnd tench me how to fly, so I oould help you? I'd learn, Allan! I'd dare, nnd bo brave awfully brave, for your sake, and theirs and " Ho gravely shook his head In negation. "I know you would, dearest, but you mustn't. Half my real reason for not want ing you to go with me Is Just this danger of flying. With plenty of supplies nnd your pistol you'll bo all right. I know It seems heartless to talk of leaving you, even for three days, but after all It's far tho wisest way AVo'Il build a barricade and make a regular fort for you and stock It with sup plies. Then you can wait for mo and the llrst two settlers. And nfter that you'll havo company. Why. you'll havo subjects for, until they're educated, we've simply got to rulo these people. It'll be only the first trip that will mako you lonely, and It won't last long." "I know, but suppose anything should happen to you!" Ho laughed confidently. "Nonsense!" he exclaimed, "You know nothing ever does happen to me! Every, thing will be nil right, my best-beloved. Only a llttlo patience-and a llttlo courage, that's all wto need now. You'll see I" Till lato that night, sheltered In their cave they talked of this momentous step. Itedly their firelight glowed upon their walls nnd roof, where sparkled myriads of tiny rock-facets. Far below the rnplds of New Hope Blver murmured a contra-bass to their voices. And In the canyon tho sighing of the night wind, pierced now nnd then by some strange cry of beast-Ilfe from the forest beyond heightened their nleasant aensn nt ... ..it..' Only the knowledge of approaching separa- Ftlnn woiirhnl ham... . u.i From every possible standpoint they dis cussed the situation. Allan's plan, viewed with the eye of reason, was really the only sane one. Nothing could havo been more absurdly wasteful of time nnd energy than the Idea of carrying the girl down Into tbe Abyss each time and bringing her up with every return. Not only would it expose her needlessly u vey ,Brttve Perils, but It would bisect the elTlclency of tho Paulllac. Allan real ized. moreover, that In tho rebuilding of the vorld n time must Inevitably come when he could not always stand by her side. She must learn self-reliance, harsh as that teaching might seem. All this and mudh moro he pointed out to her. And before midnight sho, too, agreed It was definitely decided that he was to undertake the transportation work alone Thus the matter was settled Tt,.t .u.l night there was little sleep for either of "". i" "ay oner tne morrow them. was to commence their first separation since the tlmo they had awakened ln the tower moro than a year ago.

Morning dawned, aflnro with light and color, ns only n June morning ln that seml troplc wilderness could glow. Allan nnd Beatrice, early nt work, resolutely attacked tholr labor ot preparation. First of nil they laid ln adequato supplies of fruit nnd game, both of which, In that virgin wild, were to be had in n profusion undreamed of In the old days of civilization. With nn improvised lanco Allan also speared threo salmon In the rapids. The game and fish ho dressed for her nnd packed among green leaves In tie oool re cesses nt tho extreme Inner end of tho cavern. "No need whatover for you to leave tho cave while I'm gone." ho wnrned her. "I'm not forbidding you to, becauso I'm not your master. All I say Is I'll be far happier If you stay close nt homo. Will you promlso mo that, whatover happens, you won't wan der from tho cave?" "I needn't promise, dearest. All I need to know Is your wish. That's enough for me!" Together they 'set nbout fortifying tho place. They built a rough but strong barri cade of rocks ncross the, mouth of tho cav ern, leaving only ono small aperture. Just sufficient to admit a single person on hands and knees. Allan fetched a rounded stone that she could roll Into this door by night and ar ranged a stout sapling to brace the stono Immovably. Ho supplied her well with firewood and saw to It that her bandoliers wero full of cartridges, fn addition, ho left her tho xt,n gun nnd ammunition they had found In the crypt under tho ca thedral. With n torch he carefully explored every crelco of tho cavo to mako suro no nox ious spiders, centipedes or serpents wero sheltered there. From the Paulllac ho brought his own cloak, which ho Insisted on her- keeping This, with hers, would add to the comfort of tho bed they had mado with fragrant ferns nnd grasses. He fashioned, out of the tenacious clay of an earth-bank about half a mile down stream, two largo water Jars and baked them for some hours In a huge fire on tho terrace in front of the cave. When properly hardened ho scoured them carefully with river sand nnd filled thtm one at a time, struggling up tho hard ascent with n stout heart for all this toll meant safety for the girl; It was all nn other step on tho hard pathway toward tho goal. In her sleep that night ho bent above her, klssd her tenderly and realized how Inexpressibly dear she was to him. Tho thought, "Tomorrow I must leave her!" weighed heavy on him. And for a long time ho tould not sleep, but lay listen ing to tho night sounds of tho forest nnd the brawling stream. Once a ;xi. boom ing roar echoed throughout tho canyon, nnd thereto, hollow blows. But Allan could not think their moan ing. Only ho knew tho wild was full of perils; nnd In his mind he reviewed the precautions he had taken for her welfare. Bit by bit he analyzed them. Ho knew that ho could do no more. Now fato must solvo the rest. , Ho slept at length, not to waken till morning with its garish eye peeped In around the crevices of the rock doorway. Iteturnlng from his swim in tho pool, he found Beatrice already making breakfast. They ate In silence, overborne with sad uim uuuetui mougnts. But now 'the decision had been made, nothing remained save to execute It. Such a contingency ns backing out of an un dertaklng once begun lay far outside their scheme ot things. The leave-taking was not delayed. They both realized that nn early start was neces sary If he were to reach tho village of the Folk before sleep should assail him'. Still more, they dreaded tho departure less than the suspense. Together they provisioned tho Paulllac. back there on the rocky barren, nnd made sure everything was In order. Allan ns sured himself especially that ho had fuel enough to last four or five hours. "In that time," ho told the girl, "I can easily reach tho rim of th abyss. You see, I needn't fly northward to the point whero we emerged. That would be only an unnecessary wasta of tlmo and energy, I'm positive the chasm extends all the way up and down what was once tho Mis sissippi ValleyV and that the Great Cen tral Sea Is fed by that and other rivers. In that case, by Btriklng Almost due west, I can reach tho rim. After that I can vol plane easily till I eight the water." ' "And then?" "Then the power goes on again and I scout for the west shore and the village The sustaining power of that lower-level air -is simply miraculous, I realize per fecty well It's no child's play, but I can do It, Beta. I can find the place again. You see, I'm perfectly familiar wlth condt tlons down thero now. The first time it was all new and strange. This time, after all those months In the abyss, why.
