But "P-rfney'vo got to. ring mo In, ns usual I -otill come, too, of course?" Sho nodded, nnd 11 moment later they were unlklng over the flno lawli lo.vard tho piazza. On tho far side. In 11 wide, upvu stretch that served the children sometimes ns n playground, stood tlm great hangars of tho community's nlr fleet. Beyond them roso vworl.shop, their machine) y driven by elec tric power from the turbines nt the rapids. Even ns Allan and Ueatrlco pns.cd through the cheering crowd, now drifting toward the hnngnrs. a sound of music watted down-wind--., little harsh nt times, but still with promlso of far better things to be. Many flags fluttered In tho nlr. nnd even tno rollicking children on the lawns paused to wonder ns swift shadows cut across the pai k. On high was heard tho droning hum of tho propellers It ceased, and In wide, sure, evenly balanced spirals the great plants ono by one slid down and took tho cartli as easily da a gull sinks to rest upon tho bo-om of a quiet sea "They do work well, my cqtillllir.itors !" murmured Allan, unablo to suppress a thrill of pride. "Simple, too; but, after all, how wonderfully effecllvo !" The crowd parted to let him through with Beatrice. Two minutes later he was clasp ing the hands of the last Folk over to bo brought from the strange, burled Ullage under the cliff beside tho Sunless Se.i. He summoned Zangamnn nnd Kruinuo., together with Slvnd and the thieo nvhtors. "Well done' ' said he. and that was all all, yet rnntigh Then, while tho peuplo cheered again ami. crowding round, greeted tholr kinsfolk, he gave ordeis for tho bous ing nnd tho cue of the navel-wearied new comers Through the summer nlr dilfted Flow rmoke iff on the edge of the gnne that flanked the plaza to southward tho crack ling of new-built pxes wa henid. Allan turned to Beta with a smile "Getting ready for the barbecue al ready'" said he "With that and the games nnd all. they ought to have enough to keep tnem liusy for one day. Don t you think they'll hnvo to let us go a while? There arc still a few finishing touches to put to tho new; laws I'm going to hand the council this afternoon for the Folk to hear Yes, by all means, they'll havo to let us go." Together they walked back to their bun galow nmld Its gardens of palm growths, ferns nnd flowers. Hero they stopped a moment to chat with some good friend, there to watch tho children and parentlike make suro young Allan was safe and only normally dirty and grass-stained. They gained their broad piazza nt length, turned nnd for a while watched tho busy, happy sceno In the shaded Ktreet. the plaza nnd the playground Then Beta sat down by tho cradle still In that same low chair Allan had built for her five years ago. a chair she had steadily refused to barter for a finer ono. He drew up another beside her. From his pocket ho drew a paper the now laws and for a minute studied It with bent brows. The soft wind stirred tho woman's hair as sho sat there half dreaming, her blue gray eyes, a little moist, seeing far more than just what lay before them. On his head a shaft of sunlight fell, nnd had you looked you might have seen tho crisp, black hair none too sparingly lined with gray. But bis gaze was strong and level and his smile tho same as In bygone years, as with his left hand ho pressed hern nnd, with a look eloquent of many things, he said: ' "Now, sweetheart. If you're qulto ready ?" THAPTKlt XXXIV Illntory 11ml Koc ALLAN sat writing In his library. Ten r years had now slipped past since the last of tho Folk had been brought to the surface and the ancient settlement In the bowels of the earth forever abandoned. Heavily sprinkled with gray, tho man's hair showed the stress of time nnd labors incredible. Lines marked his face with the recol of their character-building, even as his rapid pen traced on white papor tho all but completed history of the new world whereat he had been laboring so long. Through tho open window, where tho midsummer breeze swayed the silken cur tains, drifted a hum from the long file of beehives In the garden. Farther away 'sounded the comfortable go-sip of hens ns they breasted their soft feathers Into tho dust baths behind the stables. A dog barked. Camo voices from without. Along the street growled a motor. Laughter of chil dren echoed from the playground. Allan ceased writing 11 moment, with a smile, and gazed about him as though waking from a dream. "Can this bo truo?" he murmured. "After having worked over the records of the earlier time they still seem the reality and this tho dream!" On the garden path sounded footfalls. Then tho volco of Btatrlco calling: "Come out. boy See my new roses just opened this morning!" He got up anil went to tho window. Sho matronly now and of ampler bosom, yet still very beautiful to look upon was standing there by tho rose tree, scis sors In hand. Allan, Junior, now a rugged, hardy-looking chap of nearly sixteen tall, well-built and with his father's peculiar alertness of bearing was bending down a high branch for his mother. Beyond, on the lawn, tho ten-year-old daughter, Frances, had young Harold In charge, swinging him high In a stout ham mock under .he apple trees. . "Can't you come out a minute, dear?" asked Beatrice Imploringly. "Let your work go for once ! Surely these new roses are worth more than a hundred pages of dry statistics that nobody'U ever read, any how I" He laughed merrily, threw her a kiss and answered : "Still a girl,. I see! Ah, well, don't tempt me, Beta. It's hard enough to work on such a day, anyhow, without your trying tn entice me out !" "Won't you come.'Allan?" "Just give me half an hpur inoro and I'll call It off for today!" "All right ; but make it a short half-hour, boy !" He returned to his desk. The library, like the whole house now. was fully nnd beautifully furnished. The spoils of twenty cltle.s had contributed to the adornment of "The Nest," ns they had christened their home. , , In time Allan planned even U bring art works fiom Europe to grnce It still further. As yet he had not attempted to cross the Atlantic, but In his seaport near the ruins of Mobile a powerful lBO-foot motor yacht was building. In less than six months he counted on making the first voyage of discovery to the Old World, Contentedly he glanced around the fa miliar room. Upon the mantel over the capacious fireplace stood rare nnd benutlful bronzes. Priceless rugs ndotned tho pol ished floor. The broad windows, admitted floods of sunlight that fell across the great Jars of flowers Beta always kept there for him -V.H uehted up the heavy tiers of books In their mahogany cases.

Sho stayed with us for eight years, and then her father returned to England from India and took her away. She went to live with him on an outlandish island some where, nnd ten years passed before I saw her again Then, ono night, I dined with Lady For far, a very old friend of our family. I took down .a demuro llttlo person In a blue frock. I saw much of Mabel, despite our efforts to keep apart. Our friends were so very friendly. "Look here. Mabs,", said I, at last, "this Is absurd. Ecrywhero I go I meet you. I believe you do It on purpose." "I don't," said she. "But why does it annoy you?" "Vou know how we dislike one another?" "We don't dislike one nnother." "I feel suro you are'wrong; so, of course, you are right," said I "But I wish wo could do something to prevent it." "Why don't you marry?" she cried. "That's right. Drlvo me Into uncongenial wedlock !" "I merely sirggested It for your benefit," said she. "I can keep my temper when we meet." "By Jovo' I have an Idea," I cried. "We'll pretend to bo engaged." "I don't think I should like that," said Mabel. "Ami, besides, what good would it do?" "They would leave us alone, then." "Yes alone altogether." "Is that usual?" She nodded. "Still," she said, "t don't think they would bo quite so anxious about us. Wo should he spared a llttlo of their oineious friendship It might be rather restful " Wo decided to try the experiment I bought a ling and asked ono or two men to keep mum about my engagement to Miss Wakeham. That same evening my mother warmly congratulated me, ami my father offered to pay my debts. I had forgotten this con tingency, nnd 1 wired to Mabel, "How about our parents?" Sho took no notice of my frantic mes sage. "Thomas," said my father. (He gave me rhat name so t suppose ho has a right to use It ) "Thomas, you have made nie a happy man. There Is no girl I could have piefe'rred." (There were many girls whom I preerred!) "This one wise act of yours atones for all your faults." he went on. (Ho Is on the bench and rarely descends from it ) "f'f course, there Is no necessity for a long engagement." "All engagements do not end In marri age." I 1 -minded him, "This one will," he rejoined, with such conviction that I thrilled with superstitious dicad. "Mabs," said 1 when we next met, "I wish I had not bought that ring." "So do I." said she. "It is utterly hideous." "This affair will end in disaster," I re marked, recalling my father's ominous words. "Oh, well, If the worst comes to the worst, we can always quarrel," said she. "We do," Fatd I. "I mean that we can always end our engagement by saying that we have quar reled." "I'm not sure that I want to part from ou altogether Mabs, After all, your dls iike of me Is rather amusing."

"I am qulto Indifferent nbout It." "I have been thinking this matter over seriously." said I. "and I have como to the conclusion that a marriage Is rather a solemn sort of affair." She was amused "It Is'" she cried. "It Is a sacrod obligation," snld I "Not In our case, though, of course, because we are not really engaged " "I see," said she "And I think," I added, "that w should not play at being engaged." "Do you want to bo released again? This Is very confusing, you know." "I don't know what I want. Obviously, it would be absurd for us to marry." "And, therefore, the only thing to do Is to proclaim our mock engagement at an end " "There are so many things to be con sidered," I observed at length. "There nro our parents " "Yes. there they arc," said I They came up nt that moment, a beam ing quartet, and our colloquy ended Mabel continued to wear my ring I saw her every day, but sho said nothing more about ending our engagement, and I felt that I should be lacking In good taste If I broached the subject. It wbs very agoniz ing. It was my father who eventually urged me to speak. "Mabs," I began, "my father says we ought to fix a date.'V "What do you mean?" "I mean that a crisis Is Impending. Some thing definite must certainly be done at once." "Are you going to do It?" "Am I going to do what?" "Something definite." "That depends on you." "Do you want me to fix the date?" "Of course not. Don't be so cold-blooded, Mabs." "You want your ring hack?" "I don't caie a hang about the ring." "The ring." said she. "Is aluable as nn outward and visible sign. It Is a delicate Intimation to the world. Therefore, It Is foolish to say you don't care a hang nbouk It. So long as I wear It we arc engaged." "Only In the eyes of the world,' I re minded her hastily "Of course. And the moment 1 give It back to you our engagement is ended." There was a pause. Then Mabel handed me my ring. "I think I will go now," she said, "Of course, you will tell your father tonight?" I was very unhappy unreasonably ro I went home resohed to tell my father everything. We were dining en famllle that night. He would call me Into the library after dinner, ns usual, and I would open my heart to him. That was my Intention. But when the tlmo came I could not carry It Into effect. He was so cheerfully oblivious of approach ing evil. We parted at his bedroom door and I had not spoken. I took out the ring and looked nt It. "Poor Mabs"' I murmured. "What a pity It Is '" And so to bed. 1 Three days passed. Still I said nothing. Mv mind was In a state of ferment. I won dered what Mabel was doing and bow her people were taking It It seemed odd that nothing yet leaked out. On the fourth day I was sitting brood ing In the park when suddenly I awoke to the fact that a footman was addressing me "lieg your pardon, sir." said he. "Miss Wakeham wishes to speak to you " I looked up and there was Mabel In barouche. She was very pale. She smiled at me and I rose and went to her. e shook hands solemnly. "Get In," she said. "I want to talk to I felt verv uncomfortable as I obeyed her. The barouche drove on. I sat with averted gaze I was conscious that her eyes were watching me. "Tom," she said at last, sternly, "you ought to be ashamed of y"Mab.s," said 1, "It Is quite Impossible to tell them." Then. In a moment of Inspira tion. I asked, "Have you told your people yet?" . "N-no," she stammered. Why haven't you?" I Inquired severely. You can hardly ask me that nfter be having as ou have done" "But surely they missed the ring? "Veyes." I stared nt her. "1 I ac counted for that," she said, blushing. We lapsed Into gloom. I sighed. "Mabs," I burst forth, "the" situation Is desperate." "It Is Intolerable," she said, fingering her B"I ' have the ring with me, curiously enough," I said, producing It. She looked at It. I looked at her. Sud denly she .challenged my gaze. I began to laugh, foolishly, forlornly. "I wish you would wear the ring again," said I. . . - "I cannot do that." sho said. "You can take It off when we part." "It is so so absurd." "To please me.

For that reason l never have cared much for them, even for our cousins, the .Muscovy jjucks and the r.eese, who have sacrificed their freedom for the safety and lazy comforts of a farm-yard existence. "We probably never would have known 11 liked them very well had It not been for If.st winter, which was so hard for all the w 'odland creatures, when so many died of starvation. You remember how kind Jona than Goose was to us then when In despera. tlon I flew over to the farm to look for n little food. You remember hqw he and his good wife saved some of their own food for us so long ns wo needed It and It was what saved our lives," Father Duck paused anil then continued: ''Well, one day I met a queer-looking creature who would have frightened me to deatli had I met him alone, but Jonathan Introduced him to me as his good friend, Billy Bumpus I never saw him very often nnd was Just a little nervous when I saw two sharp horns sticking right up over his ears. They looked as if they could throw any one over his head If he took a dislike to them, and I kept out of his way. "Now. when I went over to see about the refreshments for the Crow's surprise party, Jonathan and his wife were not at honle. The time was short nnd I had to do some thing, so I looked around for Billy Bumpus, and soon spied him chewing away on some, thing that looked like a TIN CAN. Of couise. I didn't believe it was! Just to be on the safe side, I flew Into a small apple tree near by nnd said, 'Good morning,' and asked If ho knew where the Goose family was. He spoke very pleasantly and said they had Kone away for the day. Sirs Goose wanted to And a quieter place to lay her eggs, as she expected to lvave a fine lot of gosiines later on. "Tan I do anvthlng for you"' he asked, "So I told him nbout the party and ho was very much Interested. " 'That Is a splendid Idea.' be said, 'and I wish I could be with you all, hut It Is a little far for me to walk. Some time you must bring them all over to see us. But I would like to give the refreshments as my f contribution and will havo them all ready when you come. 'lOf course. 1 was delighted and accepted with pleasure. "Now for the fun: When I got over there today to bring back the grain, what do you think that good-for-nothing fellow had done? He took me over to a big pile of tin cans and bricks and old shoes of every de scription and said very cordially. 'I've taken special pains to select the very finest things for you nil to have at the party, Mr. Duck. Here are some bags and I hope you can carry plenty for everybody.' "At first I was too angry to speak, and then I began to roar; and I've been roaring ever since. My dear, tin cans are what that goat LIVES on, and he really thought we could eat such trash at our party. "I thanked him very much and flew as fast as 1 could- to find Jonathan Goose. Fortunately he was home and In a few mln ptes I got our good, rich grain for the party." "Thank goodness we are not GOATS," said Mrs. Duck after she got through laugh ing. "Listen, Isn't that David Crow calling us? What cap be the matter at this time of night?" asked Mrs. Duck, f What happened will be told Monday night, and don't YOU miss It!
