ing boldly across country 'In tho prob'ablo
direction of tho lost aeroplane.
Somo marched In silence, thoughtfully;
othoni wirig, ns though setting out Upon
tho Great Sunken Sea In fishing boats But
ono common purpose aim ambition thrilled
them all. . '
A man less boldlj nsouiceful than Allan
Stem mut hao thought long, nnd hesi
tated, beforo thus plunging m:o a deso
lated and unknown territory on such a
hunt.
For, to speak truth, tho finding of the
needlo in tho haystack would liavo been as
easy ns uny hope of ever locating tho ma
chine In nil those thousands of bquaro miles
of devastation
Hut Stern felt no fear. Tho great need of
tho colonj in.ulo tile expedition Imperathe
his supteme self-tiust romWcd It possible
I Ftom the orv beginning of things bnck
tlieio In tlip tower ovet looking Madison
fniest, he bad never eicn admitted tho pos
sibility of failure In any undertaking He
feat aj wholly outside Ills scheme of
things That It could ever bo his poitlon
simply never had occurred to him.
As thev progressed ho carefullv rovlewcd
Mcrythliig in his mind. Plan's uml equip
meiit seemed perfectly adequate ln nddl
lllon to tho Impedimenta already mentioned,
a few necessary tools, a supply of cord
ago for transporting the innchlne, and three
bottles of brandy for emergencies had been
judiciously added to tho men's burdens
Fach. In addition, carried a small flat
water-Jug, tightly stopped, slung over his
shoulder Allan counted on streams being
plentiful, but ho meant to look out even
for tho unexpected, too
Ho had wisely taken means to protect
tholr feet for tho long tramp. In spite of
nil their opposition ho had mado them pre
pare and bind on sandals of goat's leather.
Hitherto they had gono barefooted at Settle
ment Cliffs ; but now that was no longer
permissible.
The total cqulpihent of each man weighed
not lets than ono hundred pounds. Includ
ing tools and all No weaklings, llko tho
men of tho twentieth century, could have
stood the gaff marching under such a load ;
but theje huge fellows, muscular and lltho,
walked oft with It as though it had been a
mcro nothing
Allan himself boro nn equal burden. In
addition to arms and provisions ho carried
a powerful binocular, tho spoil of a
wrecked optician's shop In Cincinnati.
Underfoot, ns tho column advanced in
a long line, loose dust nnd wood-ashes roso
in clouds. Tho air grew thick and Irritat
ing to tho lungs.
Now and then they had to make a detour
round a charred and fallen trunk, or cut
tholr way and clamber through a calcined
barricade of twisted limbs, and branches
Not Infrequently they saw burned bones
of animals or of Anthropoids
Hero and thcro they oven stumbled on a
distorted, half-consumed body a hideous,
reminder of tho vanquished enemy tho
half-man that had tried to pit itself against
tho wholo-man, with Inevitable annihilation
as tho only possible result
Tho distorted nttltudes of some of theo
ghastly, incredibly ugly carcasses told with
oloquenco tho terrified, vain flight of the
Hordo beforo tho all-consuming storm of
fire, tho panic and the anguish of their
extinction.
Hut Allan only grunted or smiled gilinly
at sight of tho horriblo littlo bodies. Pity
ho felt no moro than for a crushed and
hideous copperhead.
Tho country had been swept clean by tho
flre-broom. Not a living creature remained
visible Moles thcro still might bo, and
perhaps hares and foxes, woodchurks,
groundhoga and a few such animals that
by chanco had taken cartli ; but even of
theso thero was no trace. Certainly all
larger breeds had been destroyed,
"Whero paradlso-blrds, macaws and para
keets had screamed and flitted, humming
birds darted with a whir of gauzy wings,
serpents writhed, deer browsed, monkeys
and apes swung chattering from the liana
festooned forn trees, now all was silence,
charred ashes, dust tho universal, blank
awfulness of death.
Naked and ugly the country stretched
away, away to its black horizon, ridge after
rldgo of rolling land stubbled with sparse,
limbless trunks and carpeted with cinders.
A dead world truly. It seemed how In
finitely different from tho lush, green beauty
of the territory south of the New Hope, a
region Stern still could make out as a
bluish blur, far to southward, through his
binoculars ,
By night, after having eaten dinner be
Bldo a, turbid, brackish pool, they had made
more than twenty miles to noithwcstward.
Stern thought scornfully of tho distance.

A BACHELOR'S LIFE IS A JOYFUL ONE
V
Copjrlsht Life Publishing Company, rtfprlntej hy nreelnl nrrnneernent.
I'achclor Fiicnd After all, it is the little, homely things about a house that count.
Mother How dare you refer to my children in that manner!
In his Paulllao ho would hao covered It
easily In ns many minutes
Hut now all was different Nothing re
mained F.-ue slow, laborious plodding, foot
bv foot, through tho choking desolation of
tho burned world
They camped 'near a small stream for the
night, and cast their lines, but took nothing.
Stern gave this matter no great weight.
He thought, perhaps, It might bo a mere
accident, and still felt confident of finding
llsh elsewhere.
Fcn tho discovery of three or four dead
perch, floating belly up, round and round in
an eddy, gave him no due to tho total de
struction of nil life
Ho did not undeistand even yet that tho
teniflc conflagration, far more stupendous
than any ever known In tho old dnvs, had
oven heated tho streams and killed thero
tho very llsh themselves
Yet already a vague, half-sensed un
easiness had begun to creep over him not
yet a dcflnlto picsentlment of disaster, but
rather a subconscious feeling that tho odds
against him wcro too great.
And onco a thought of Napoleon crossed
his mind as he sat thero silently, camped
with his mon ; and ho remembered Moscow,
with .1 strange, now apprehension.
N'cxt morning, having refilled their
canteens, they set out again, still In tho
samo direction Stern often consulted his
chait, to bo suro they werb proceeding in
what ho took to bo tho proper course.
The distance between Settlement Cliffs
and tho machine was wholly problematical ;
ct, onco ho should como within striking
distance of tho scene of his disaster, ho
felt posltlvo of being nblo to recognize It.
Not far to tho south of tho spot, he re
membcrod, a very steep and noisy stream
flowed toward tho oast, and, oft to north
west of It roso a peculiarly formed, double
peaked mountain, easily recognizable
The sandbarren Itself, whero ho had been
obliged to abandon tho machine, lay In a
kind of broad valley, flanked on ona hand
by cliffs, while tho other sloped gradually
upward to tho foothills of tho doublo
mountain In question.
"Onco I get anywhero within twenty
miles of It I'm all right." thought Allan,
anxiously sweeping tho horizon with his
blnoeuUis ns the partv paused on a high
lldgo to rest. "Tho great problem is to
locate that mountain. After that tho rest
will bo easy."
At noon they camped again, ato spar
ingly, nnd rested nn hour. Hero Allan
brought his second map up to date. This
map, a largo sheet of parchment, served ns
a record of distances and directions
traveled
Starting at Settlement Cliffs ho had
painstakingly entered on It every stago of
tho Journey, overy rldgo and valley, water
course, camp nnd landmark. Onco tho goal
reached, this record would provo invaluable
In retracing their way.
"If the rest of tho trip were only indi
cated ns well as what's past!" ho muttered,
working out hl3 position. "Ono of these
days, when other things aro attended to,
we must have a goodetio survey, complete
maps and plans, and accurate information
about tho wholo topography of this altered
continent Some time along with a few
million other necessary things!"
Tho third day brought them nowhoro.
Still tho brule stretched on and on beforo
them, though now, far to right. Allan oc
casionally could gllmpso a wooded mountain
spur through tho binoculars, as though tho
limits of tho vast conflagration weVe in
sight at leust In ono direction.
But to left and ahead nothing Btill
showed but devastated land.
Tho character of the country, however,
had begun 'to change. Tho valleys had
grown deeper and tho ridges higher. A"an
felt that they were now coming Into a moro
mountainous region

reflected. "Any time. now. I mav sight tho
double-peaked mountain. It can't heao in
sight any too soon to suit me'"
Thcro was need of sighting It, Indeed, for
already tho partv had begun to suffer not
a little. Tho perpetual tramping through
nhhes had started cracks and sores forming
on tho men's feet. Most of them were
coughing and sneezing much of tho time,
w It li a kind of influenza caused by tho
acrid and biting dust.
Tho dried food, too, had started nn In
tolerable thirst, and water was terribly
scare. Tho canteens wcro now nlmost all
emgty; and moro than ono brook or pool,
to which tho men eagerly hastened, turned
out to bo saline or hopelessly fouled by
fallen forest wreckage, festering and grecn
sllmed In the cooking sun.
In spite of the eyeshlelds and pigments,
some of the men wcro already suffering
from sunburn and ophthalmia,' which
greatly Impaired their efficiency. Their
failure. . tako llsh was also beginning to
dlshcartet them.
Allan pondered tho advisability of sus-'
pending day travel and trekking only by
night. Iut bad to give over this plan, for It
would obvlato all possibility of his sighting
tho landmark, tho cleft mountain. Though
ho said nothing, the pangs of apprehension
were biting deep Into his soul
For the fltst time that night tho idea was
strongly borne In upon him that, after all,
this might bo littlo better than a wild-gooso
chase, and that de&plte his desperato need
of the I'aulllac engine perhaps tho hotter
part of valor might bo discretion, retreat,
return to Settlement Cliffs whllo thero
might still bo time
Yet even tho few hours of troubled sleep
he got that night, cramped In a blackened
ravine, served to strengthen his determina
tion to push on again at all hur.ards.
"It can't bo far now '" thought he. "Tho
I place simply can't be very far ' Wo must
Ujave made tho best part of the distance al
ready, vvnac mauness to turn hack now
and loso all we've struggled so hard to
gain 1 No, no on wo go ngaln ! Forward
to success !"
Next morning, therefore tha fourth since
having left New Hopo River the party
pushed foiward again. It was now a strango
procession, limping nnd alow, tho men
blinking through their shields, their hands
and faces smeared with mud and ashes.
Painfully, yet without a word of com
plaint or rebellion, they onco moro trailed
over tho flre-blaBtod hills on the quest of
tho wrecked Paulllac a
Hour by hour they were now forced to
pauso for rest. Somo of tho Impedimenta
had to bo discarded. During the forenoon
Allan commanded that most of the fishing
gear and part of tho cordage should bu
thrown away.
Toward mid-afternoon he sorted out tho
tools and kept only an essential minimum.
Now that they had seen no pofslblo need
for ammunition, he decided to leave half of
that also.
The tools and ammunition ho carefully
caohed under a rock cairn nnd set a tall,
burned 'polo up ovor It, with .i cros'pleca
lashed near the top. Tho position of this
cairn ho minutely noted on his map. Some
day ho would return and get tho valuables
again.
Nothing could be spared from tho pro
vision packets, but theso wera much lighter,
anyhow. This helped a little. But Allan
could seo that tho strongth of his men, and
his own forco as well, was diminishing
faster than tho burden.
So, with a heavy heart, now half-inclined
to nbandon the task and turn back, he sur
veyed tho horizon for tho last time that
night in vain search for tho landmark
mountain of his hopes.
Morning dawned again pitilessly hot and
sun-parched. By G o'clock tho party was
under way, to make, af? least a few miles
before the greatest heat should set in.
Allan realized that this must bo tho cru
cial dav. Either bv nightfall he must sight
tho mountain or he must turn back. And
with fever-burning eagerness he urged his
limping men to greater speed, chafed at
eacli delay, constantly examined the hori
zon, and with consuming wrath cursed the
Horde which In ' Its venomous hate had
brought this anguish and disaster on his
people.
.lust a little past 8 o'clock a erv suddenlv
burst from Zangamon, who had left tho line
during a pauso to look for water In a near
by hollow.
Stern heard tho man's hoarse voice un
mistakably reronant with terror. To him
ho ran.
"What ls it, f.angamon?" he cried thickly,
for his tongue was parched and swollen.
"What have you found? Quick, tell me!"
"See, O Kromno ' Behold !" exclaimed
tho man, pointing.
Stern looked and saw a human body,
charred and distorted, faco downward on
the blackened earth l"p through tho back
something projected something hard and
sharp.
Ho stooped, wide-eyed, staring at the
thing
"A spearhead, so help mo!"
Tho ho realized the truth. They bad
found one of his slaughtered companions
of the terrlblo flight from tho Horde 1
Stern recoiled. Shocked though ho was,
yet a certain Joy possessed ,hlm. For
now ho knew he could not bo far from
the path of success Tho wrecked machine,
ho knew, could not ll more than one or
two days' inarch ahead. If the party could
only last that long .
The others camo hobbling When they,
too. saw tho mournful object and knew
and under itnod, a deep silence fell upon
them. In a circle they niriounded the
corpse of their murdered comrade, and for
a whllo thev looked on It with woe.
Allan leulLscd that he must not let In
action, thought and fear prev on them, so
ho commanded immediate burial of the
bodv.
Thev therefoio dug a shallow giavo In
tlie baked ;y)ll, and, taking good care not
to touch tlie poisoned speathead, carefully
laid their companion to rest Over the
fllled-in grave they heaved rocks
