NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
'From Colby Pennington ' Brena
'learned that Peter had gone to Texas,
and that. on thetiventy-fourth of the
month 'he expected to be in the town
of Kremlin Wells. This was a small
town in the desert, on"the border be-
tween Texas and New Mexico.
Within an hour•Brena, without even
hand baggage, was in 'the. train beax-
ing her the first stage of her -jour-
ney to Kremlin Wells: She must , be
there by the twenty-fourth. She had
a' sense of racing with' death.
And she won. At three o'clock in
the morning of that cry she 'alighted
from the train in 'Kremlin Wells to
peer into the face of a dark -eyed Mex-
ican, She was frightened for a mo-
ment 'but at the mention of Peter's
name the Mexican said: "Come," and
led the way to a .ramshackle hotel. Up
the stairs she followed him and watch-
ed while he'opered the door of a room.
His lantern's circle of light widened
as he held it higher until it,covered
a- cot on which a waking sleeper was
pushing himself Up. 09 one 0702 and
reaching under a pillory with the other
hand.
"A lady," the Mexican said, setting
down- the lantern and departing. The
man on the cot sprang up, raised the
lantern, and gasped.
"Brena!" he exclaimed.
"Yes, Peter. Thank God, Peter I
sante in time."
"Time—time for what? I'm all
right, deem" -
"Yes, Peter, they said you'd hada
message—a call. You are the titled
-I couldn't stand it. It was you—
that's different."
"You're tired out"
"No, Pm not, Peter," she said. "I
want you to be glad I carne."
Ile dropped the lantern; it went
out. He put his arms around her nen
¢cnt her 'head close to his shoulder
as he,patted her hair with the open
palm of his hand.
"Glad? Me? Glad? Beene! I can't
say it, dear. The cup runs over at
the brim!"
"I've been in mortal fear Peter,"
she whispered and shivered in his
arms. "I thought had sent you away
to your end—lie Thing that took the
others:"
No," said he.
"Can you tell, Peter'!"
can't tell—sure. I can guess. I
guess Pm going to fix everything. If
not, there's something too big—too
ghastly—"
"But i, you never came back to me
—if anything—" She stopped "Why,
Peter, I prayed for relief from the
hideous idea that I had le' you start
at all."
"Look here," he said severely, "Did
you send me that warning—to the
steamer?"
She was silent,
"Answer."
"Yes. I thought I must stop you,
dear."
For a long time :they sat on the
edge of his 'cot without a word. At
last, "Peter."
almost 'at the point where I

lantern.

wrong now, I'd be afraid.' I'm no cow-
ard, but I'd writhe with fetor;"
Her eyes were full of a troubled ex
pression , -
"But you don't tell me, Peter."
!'I can't"
"Why not?".
"Becauee!if I was *Aug it 'would
always appear to you that I hadbeen

"Yes, but when you ride off into,

"You can't!"
"Yes; I ails going' with you, Peter!"
"It might be too hideous."
"I ant going."

"We'd be out there for years," said
Brena. "We'd have aur' hands—like
this—together. But very.bony, I sup-
pose. I'd rather—do that, Peter—
than—not have—each other—"
'Ie picked her up in his arms. He
heard her whispering. "I'm not ill,
Peter. I am tired. And I don't have
to pretend with you, do I?" He felt
her warm breath.
He put her down at full length ;-on
the cot and sitting beside her moved
his finger-tips across -her whitefore-

They were driving through -a coun-
try without mercy to living things.
After smiles of hard pulling through
the bare loose -surfaced Plain they
found that ali vegetation—even the
cacti—beeanme sparse, ,and the empti-
ness was that of the frontier of death
itself.
Peter turned to look at Brena. Her
face, ill'anmined by the moon, was lifted
a little; with the hair blown back by
the hot wind, her eyes glistened like
those of one who rides toward battle
in a calm spirit,
She felt, perhaps, his gaze, and,
turning, smiled. She wondered why
he had been unwilling to tell her why
they went, what he sought, the facts
he had found.
"Will you tell me --=afterward?" she
asked. 1
"Yes—if I win," be answered. "I
will tell you then. Before that I've
no pa-ticular right to do it—not till
I'nm sure. The thing is too tremen-
dous!"
She pulled back the silk sleeves
from her round arms that in the pal'*
moonlight were those of an ancient
Grecian marble She folded thorn and,
as -they drove on, she fixed her dark
eyes again upon the North ,with 'the
sane calm, the same of
of
being the possessor of a spirit as
eternal as thatof the sea.
When the moon had reached the bot-
tom of the bowl of the sky, DeWolfe
stopped the car to fill the radiator.
"We are coming into the most arid
land in the world, whore no 'rain falls
and there is no dew.- It is the coun-
try of eternal stillness. There is no
life; not even the insects live here.
There is no motion. There is no sound.
Listen!"
"Pin glad I'm with you, Peter," she
said.. "There is a threat here, isn't
there?"
He nodded. "We've been seventy-
five miles. To a man on foot without
water that would be' death—a horrible
death with the sand -dragging at the
feet—with the heat burning all mois-
ture out of .the body;. with the silence
and stillness inviting him to madness,
and' his aching limbs gradually turn-
ing his footpath around and around in
smaller circles to a center or death."
' At the end of a hundred miles dawn
began. to come in the brilliant colors
of silken -veils of rainbow diversity'
shaken out from the East. With start-
ling suddenness the air of the desert
became .the tint of heliotrope.

Peter allowed the car to 'come to a
step and shut off'the engine. •
"Both 'of us need a rest and water,"
he said to Brena. "And you 'need
breakfast" -
She did not talk to him as he looked
over :the ear, nor' when, having looked
back along the slight:cut of a, pre-
historic torxentrbed, ,now filled !almost
to its old banks with drifting sand, he
squatted over 11 map, measuring and

"What ,is that on the desert?" she
asked. "Peter, look! There! To the

A lit le point of Light shone on the
sand as if a diamond had caught -the
sunlight. Peter stopped, the car again
to pick it up, showed it to, Brena; it
was an empty vial of white glass;
Peter sprang out of the car, and,
walking about in widening circles,
searched the ground. He appeared ex-
cited.
Time and tineabain hezlooked -at
the little .glass vial. •
"Some one has been here," said
Frena, "I'm just Irish enough to say
that, Peter!"
"Hush," he said. "I've 'seen more
that you have ascii, - It nteans every.
thing to us!" '
At nine o'clock they came withilf
sight of a great mound on the desert.
"There it is!" :exclaimed DeWolfe.
"Look, arena. And 'there's the haze
on the horizon—the- haze that the
Jesuit missionaries told about. It
comes from the colder air of the Mes-
ealero Ridge!'" '
"And .it means that we have found
our way?"
"Yes, found our way! There's nine-
ty miles more."
"Where are we going?"
"To the oldest city, Brena, in'Ant-
erica, To a city at the pase,of a high
cliff, built of clay which crumbled
centuries ago into dust. The wall is
left perhaps as it was twocenturies
ago. A dry well. A. windless place
occupied cnly by horned toads and'!
perhaps one other misshapen thing."
At three o'clock they came within
sight of the tableland upon which
mon-tithing were set like piles of food
upon a gjant's doorstep.
.And this step up—this mesa—with
its precipitous edge, marked the end
of the desert.
"The cliffs .that rise to that table
land are impassable," said Peter, with
his eyes alight and his voice filled with
excitement. "The city was built be-
low their protection• around a great
well and walled in front with thick
fortifications. We shall see them,
Brena!"

And still, and still, and still,

Perhaps, perhaps, I will.
It's such a quaintly modern place,
Old English style, you know,
And, in the garden back of it,
Old fashioned posies grow;
And everything's just right inside—
The living room, the hall,
The dining room, the kitchen and
The bedrooms; loves them all!
And Margery has a Persian rug,
,A waffle iron, a chair
Sent all the way frons Belgium, and
A set of nuimper ware,
And Margery has a sun porch hung
With curtains, willowy green,
And all its windows look upon
A neat Surburban scene.
And Margery has her pantry shelves
Lace -paper -edged and trim;
.And Margery has a breakfast nook,
And Margery has her Jim!

Since I've seen Jim and Margery's

'than all the bopks that were ever

"These pacific 'workers," Hutson
stated, "resemble' the Italians in size
