When Petty was rested we returned to the ptospector. whero ho fitted lilmselt out fully UUo a civilized human being under clothing, socks, shoe, khnkl Jacket and breeches and good, siibslautl.il puttees. When I hnd come upon him ho was clothed In rough s.ulok snnd.ils, a gec sttltiK nnd a tunic fashioned from tho shaggy hide of a thag. Now ho wore teal clothing again for the first time since the npe-folk had stripped in of our apparel that long-gone day that hud witnessed our ad ent .within I'cllucld.ir. Willi a bandoleer of cartridge-! across his shoulder, two sK-shootets nt Ins hips and a ritlo In his hand, ho was a much lejme natetl Perry. . Indeed, lie was quite a different person nltogether ftom the rather Miakv old man who had entered tho prot-pector with me ten or eleven years befote for the ttlal trip lli.it hnd plunged us Into such wondtous ad- entities nnd Into such a strange and hith erto undreamed-of world. Now he wns straight and active Ills muscles, nlmost ntiophled ftom disuse ln his former life, had filled out He wa3 still an old man. of course; but Instead of appearing ten years older than ho really was, as he had when wo left tho outer world, he now appealed about ten years younger. Tho wild, ftco life ot l'ellu cid.ir had woiked wonders for him. Well, it mii't need havo done so or killed him, for a man of Perry's former physical condition could not long hae survived tho dangers and rigors of tlio primitlvo llfo of the inner world. Perry had been gteatly Interested In my map and in tho "rojal obsenatoty" at Greenwich. By uso of tho pedometets wo had tetraced our way to the prospector with triibo and accuracy. Now that wo were ready to sot out again, we decided to follow a different route on tho chance that It might lead us Into inoto fnmlliar territory. I shall not weary you with n repetition of tho countless ndventurcs of our long .search. Encountets with wild beasts of gigantic size were of nlmost dally nrciuiencc: but with our deadly ccpre.ss rlflta we inn com paratively little risk when one recalls that previously wo had both traversed litis world of ftlghtful dangers Inadequately armed with etude, primitive weapons and all but naked. Wo ate and slept many times so many that wo lost count nnd so I do not know how long we roamed, though our map allows tho distances and directions quite nc curately. Wo must have coered a great many thousand wiuaro miles of territory, and yet we had i-een nothing in tho way of a familiar landmark, when from (he heights of a mountain range wo wete crossing I descried far In the distance great masses of billowing clouds. Now clouds nre practically unknown In the skies ot Pellucldar. The moment that my eyes tested upon them my heart leaped. I seized Perry's arm and, pointing toward tho hotlzonlot.3 distance, shouted. "Tito Mountains of the Clouds !' "They lie closo to Phutra, and tho coun try of our worst enemies, tho Mahats," Perry remonstrated. "I know It," I replied, "but they give us a starting point from which to prosecutn our search Intelligently. They aro at least a familiar landmark. "They tell us that wo ato upon tho right trail nnd not wandering far in the wrong direction. "Furthermore, close to the Mountains of the Clouds dwells a good friend, Ja the Mezop. You did not know him, but you know all that ho did for mo and all that bo will gladly do to aid me. "At least ho can direct us upon the right direction toward Sari " "Tlio Mountains of tlio Clouds constitute a mighty range," replied Perry. "They must cover an enormous tenltory. How ato you to Hnd your friend In nil tlio great country that is vlslblo from their rugged flanks?" "Easily." I answered him, "for Ja gao me minute directions. I recall almost his exact words: " 'You need merely come to tho foot of tho highest peak of tho Mountains of the Clouds. Thcto you will find a river that (lows Into tho Lur.il Az. " 'Directly opposite tho mouth of tho river you will seo threo large Islands far out so far that they nro barely discernible. Tho one to the exttemo left as you face them from tho mouth of tho river Is Anoroe, whero I rule tho tribe of Anoroc.' " And so wo hastened onward toward tho AMUSEMENTS ,'MI Cempanr.

II III lc iMr. I iSfem- great cloud-mass that was to bo our guide for scleral weary inarches, At Inst wo camo closo to the towering crags, Alpllko In their grandeur. Rising uobly nmotig Its noble fellows, ono stupendous peak reared lis giant bend thousands of feet nbovo tho others. It was ho whom we sought; but nt Its foot no river wound down toward any sea. 'It must rise from the opposite side." suggested Peny, casting a rueful glance at the forbidding heights that barred our further progress. "vP pnimot endure the ntcllc cold of tho hlgh-lliing passes, and to Irnicrse the endless miles about litis Interminable Hinge might tequire n year or inoto. The land we seek must lie upon the opposite side of tho mountains." "Then wo must ctoss them," I Insisted. "Wo can't do It, David." he repeated. "Wo are dtcssed for the tropics We should freeze to death among ' the snows and glaciers long before we had discovered a pass tu thn opposite side" "Wp must ctoss tliein." I relterntcd, "We will cross them." I had a plan, and that plan we carried out. It took somo time. First we made a petmntient camp part way up the slopes where there was good water. Then we set out lit search of the gteat, shaggy cave bear of the higher alti tudes. Ilo Is a mighty animal a terrible ani mal, lie Is but little latter than his cousin or the lesser lower hills, but he makes up for It in the aw fulness of his ferocltv and In the length anil thickness of his shngg coat. It was his coat that wo wero aflet. We camo upon him quite unexpectedlv. I was trudging In advance nlong a rock'v ttall worn smooth by the padded feet of countless iirpm of wild beasts At a shoulder of tho mountain around which the path laii I came face to face with tho Titan. ' I wan goltiR up for a fur coat. He was coming down for breakfast Each realized lltat here was the ery thing he hottuht. With n horrid roar the beast charged me At my right the cliff rose straight up waitl for thousands of feet. At my left it droppetl Into n dim. nbismal canyon In front of me wns, (lie bear. Behind me was Peiry. I shouted to him In warning, nnd then I raised my ride and fired Into tlio broad hteast of the cieattirt- Tliete was not time lo tnke nim; the thing was too close upon me. But that my bullet took effect was evi dent from the howl of rage and pain that broke from the frothing jowls. R didn't slop him, though. I fired again, and then he wns upon me. Down I went beneath his ton of maddened, clawing llesh nnd bone nnd sinew. I thought my time had come. I remem ber feeling sorry for poor old perry, left all alone in this Inhospitable, savage world. And then ot a sudden I leallzed that tho bear was gone and that I wns quite un harmed. I leaped to my feet, my illle still clutched In my hand, nnd looked about for my antagonist. t thought that I should find him fntthor down the tinll. probably finishing Perry, and so I leaped In the dltcctlon I supposed him to be, to find Peny pet died upon a ptojectlng rock scleral feet above the trail. My cry of warning had gii'cn him time to leach tills point of safety. There hn fqiintted, his eyes wide and his mouth ajar, tho plctuto of abject terror and consternation "Where 'Is he?" he cried when he saw me. "Where is he?" "Didn't he come this way?" t nsked "Nothing came this way," replied the old man. "But I heard his roars he must1 haie been as large ns an elephant." "lie wns." 1 admitted; "hut where in the world do you supposo he dlsappeated to?" Then camo n possible explanation to my mind. I ietiinietl to the point at which the bear had hurled me down and peered oier tho edge of tho cliff Into the abyt-s below. Far. far down 1 saw a small brown blotch near the bottom of the canyon. It was the benr. My second shot must have killed him. and so his dead body, after hurling mo to tho path, had toppled oier Into the abyss. I shhered at the thought of how close I, too, must have been to going oier with him. It took us a long time to teach the car cass nnd arduous labor to remove the gieat pelt. But at last tho thing was accom plished and wo letutned to camp, drugging the lieaiy trophy behind us. Hero wo deioted another considerable period to scraping and curing It. When this was done to our satisfaction wo made heaiy boots, trousets and coats of the bliaggy skin, turning tlio fur In. From tho scraps wo fashioned .caps that camo down niound our ears, with llaps that fell about our shoulders and bteasU. Wo wero now fairly well equipped for our search for a pas to the opposite side of the Mountains of tho Clouds. Our first step now was to move our camp upward to the very edge of the perpetual snows which cap tills lofty range. Hero wo built n snug,, secttro little hut, which wo provisioned and stored with fuel for its dlmlnutlie Ilteplace. With our hut as a base we sallied forth in search of a pass across the range. Our evety movo was carefully noted upon our maps, which we now kept In duplicate By this means we were saicd tedious and unnecessary ictraclng of ways already ex plored, systematically we worked upward In both directions ftom our base, and when we had at last discolored what cemed might ptovn a feasible pass wo moicd our belongings to a now hut farther up It was hard work cold, bitter, ctucl work. Not a step did we take In ndianco but tho gilm reaper strode silently In our tracks.

Farther up wo were nssalled by enormous white bears hungry, devilish fellows, who came i paring neross the rough glacier tops at tho first glimpse of us, or stalking us stealthily by scent when they had not yet seen us, It is one or tlio peculiarities ot mu within Pellucldar that man Is moro often the hunted than the hunter Myriad aro tho huge-bellied cm it I mra of this primitive world Never, from blith tu death, are thoso great bellies nilllclentiy filled, so al ways are their mighty owners prowling about In search of meat. Terribly armed for battle as they are. man presents to them ln his primal state an easy proy, slow of foot, puny of ntrength, Ill-equipped by nature with natural n cations of defense. The bears looked upon us ns easy meat. Only nur heavy rifles saied us from piompt extinction. Poor Perry neicr was u.iaglng lion nt heart, and I am com InceiMliat the tenors of that awful period must havo caused him jiolgnant mental anguish. When wo wero abroad pushing our trail farther and farther lowaid the distant break which, wo nssutued, marked a feaslblo way across tho range, we never v.v ul what second some gteat engine of clawed and ranged destruction might rush k upon us from neiunu, or ue in wm.iv iw u beyond nn ice-hummock or a jutting shoulder of tho craggy steeps. Tho roar of our rifles was constantly shattering tho world-old silence of stu pendous canyons upon which the eyo of man had never before gazed. And when In the comparative safety of our hut we lay down to sleep the great beasts roarcjd and toiight without the walls clawed and battered at tho 4oor, or rushed their clossal frames headlong against the hut's sides until It rocked and trembled, to the impact., Ves, it wns a gay llfo.

I must admit that I, to'o, felt worried, for our progress was Indeed snail-like, and our ammunition could not last forever, ln discussing tho problem finally we came to tho decision to bum our bildges behind us and iiiuke one last supremo effort to cross tho divide.

WOODLAND STORIES TIIK CHOWS' SIGNAL Hy Farmer Smith All the woodland people had llilngs to fear In tlio winter time anil thero weto lunters who never tired of devising ways to cat cli tiieni bj means of traps or of shoot ing them when they least suspected It. What wero they to do? Underneath some Inviting leaves or fallen branches might be concealed some trap laid for tho unsuspecting. In fact, many of tho woodland people were caught oiery week. And then, when tho hunters came to look nt tho ttaps they wero al wa.is ready to tako a shot at some passing bird What WHItn they to do? Fntlier Puck calleil a meeting of all the woodland peoplo who wero in constant dread of hunters and great was his Surprise at the many wiio came. Kvcn Mr Bonier found time to run from his new home beside tlio beaver dam which ho was building. Jolinuto Muskrnt and several of the Woodchuck family came, too, as did Simon Babbit, with his long eats, and Iinvld Crow, whllo last of all camo tnlsclileious Mister .lay Bird. It was a grand mass-meeting This is what they decided to do; They divided tlio woodland Into sections, giving the largo birds tho duty of giving tho warnings ftom the trectojis whenever danger was near on. land; the ducks and water peoplo wero to watch tho rlier and tho mar.slics. The inbblls and squirrels had the task ot watching carefully for the hidden trap's and glio warning ;s to their right location. A system of signals was decided upon. it was pari -wig-wag" and part tele graphing by means of cries. Mr. Crow was to lalso his wings twice and then once In quick succession nt tho first sign of dnn- ger.f wlille tlio rabbits and squlircls wero to glio two long cries and a short one for tho alarm. Tho hunters were greatly disappointed that winter to find so many traps empty and so many birds in sight, but so few near enough fur a shot. What had happened' Father Puck by spring had begun to think his trouble was oier and to breathe easier ho almost forgot the danger sig nals Ono day he was startled by tho shrill BCiccchlug of David Crow "The warning signal !" ho exclaimed Banning quickly to his wlfo ho shouted: "There must be danger for us ! Keep per fectly quiet and stay rigid here with tho children You must be ready to leave at a moment's notice. I will run and find out what the troublo may be." And with that ho disappeared.
