"Go on," said Brena.
"Now he goes running out along the
walls searching for something: Look!
Here! He ran out along the base of
the wall searching."
n
"For what?"
"For bits of wood—for anything
that would burn --for fuel. He must
have for Hennepin a funeral gyre! He
has been crazy by fear again. But he
finds nothing, Braila. There is no
wood here, no paper, no grass. There's
nothing but sand and stone. Nothing
that will burn. Nothing within a half

too, note screams and the scream comes
back from the cliff with a terrible
mockery." •
"But ho did fiat fuel, Peter," she
said, "He must have founts some-
thing."
"Yes, he found something that would

On the way toward the gate of the
fortification walls Peter stopped and
kicked at a blackened spot on'the sand,
He said laconically, "Their fire, Where
s'ven years ago they ate their last
supper together—the vanished men."
They went outside and Peters eyes
were upon that which he had seen
before.
He dropped behind her and turned
her body so that lie faced toward the
bend in the southern end of the forti-
fication wall.

man who would save his life lost it.
The madness of fear brought all that
he had to fear—and more."
He paused.
"Brena, I will tell you," he said in
a hushed, awed voice. "The man was
mad, irresponsible, without power to
reason! He was in a panic of fear.
He wanted to hide his crime at any
cost! He bad nlled his gasoline tank
for the return journey. Look!"
Peter pointed to the hole in the back
of the car into which the gasoline is
poured. Thecrew caphad e.

bent copper pipe still dangled out of
that bole.
"He wanted a hatful of gasoline.
That was the fuel, Brena—the fuel to
btrn the remains of Jim Hennepin."
He wet his lips.
"He used a• siphon. This bent cop -
pet pipe taken from his tool chest—a
spare length of oil feed pipet And
with that he filled his hat and ran
back,"
Peter looked up into the sky. He
continued quietly. "But the 'siphon ran
on. He had forgotten it! . It ran on
with its little stream saturating the
sand until the tank was empty and
the heat of the clay was evaporating
t}.e last drops at the bottom. Parmelee
had condemner] himself to death! He
had lost the fuel he had put in for
the return journey!"
Brena pressed her lips tightly to-
gether and for Matey moments looked
into the g+'eat fanlike spread of the.
sunset. Then suddenly she turned
toward the car and took several steps.
