"How simple you make It seem 1" Jack Taylor swore, and then laughed. "We don't know what we . could do, or what we'd have to do.

"Eliot, Jack Taylor, and Peter Vanderbllt and Whlttlngton and Crosby with ' them. - They left, you know'ln two 'larks' about two hours before dusk .yesterday. 1 They said they were ''only going to have a look around. I thought It was a good Idea; I told them to go." . 1 ' -' : "No word from them at all since T Tony asked. 1 .J " "Not a syllable. ' Marian Jackson Is missing, too." ' . -"She went with themf , . ' "No. - Entirely separately ; and she went , on the ground, not In the air. The gate watch who let her go out If was Cluett was ashamed of himself and did not report It promptly. It appears that she drove to the gate in one Jf the small cars, and wheedled Cluett Into letting her take a turn outside. It was near noon, and the sun was shining,' He saw no harm and let her pass. Then she turned the battery en full, and streaked away." i ' , , "Which gate?" asked Tony briefly. -"The northern gate, Duquesne'S rorte de Gorfulu.' "She .

Obviously, she ; a wis- 1 t'e l""i chos'i t.t f o i 2 " ' J ; "Probably," said Tony, "she went tight on. But do you think the oth ers were up to anything foolish?'! "I'm sure of It," ItansdeU an swered. - ' " ' , . "WhyT ' Did they tell your -. .-.iWot' me Hlgglns. And - he's Just told me. "Tony, they're dead now; or they're trying to get into Gor- fulu from Danot From what they told Hlgglns who swore to keep It until tonight we can't possibly help them now, except by being ready to respond to their signal that they're In Gorfulu . sad. will have a gate open for us." :i r '- ' Tony -rose excitedly.

I don't know In detail-what those- those glorious idiots tried ' to do.; but the signal; Tony, Is overdue!" : . Four of them, at that moment were alive.5 Crosby was dead; they bad his body with them. Ot the four alive, not one was unwonnded ; and they were lying in the dark in the tube of the power-conduit be tween Danot and Gorfulu, and with both ends of the tube closed against them, J - 1 They bad taken Danot; at least they had surprised One gate and got In. . Tor. they had 'grounded their larks, in the valley beyond Danot and accomplished this In the twi light unseen, i Then they had crept to the western gate, surprised the guard and got lib ' . Two of the other side fell in this light; and Crosby and Taylor were shot Jack still could walk, but the others bad to drag . Crosby - with them, f - ' ' ; Once Inside, they met their bit of luck or they thought It that Four men bad been at .the1 gate they sur prised'' and the, two that fled sep arated. James : and Wblttlngtoq took after one of them, leaving Van-. derbllt with the wonnded man. The luck was that the man they panned fled to the conduit tube which sup plied Danot from Gorfulu; They caught that man In the tube, overpowered' him ; and Whlttlngton went back to guide Taylor and Van derbllt and help him with Crosby. Meanwhile, Eliot had 'found the work car which traveled In the tube beside the great cables to the trans formers. ' , " t The five had hardly got into the tube, : and Vanderbllt was helping Crosby ; to the car, when the man who had escaped led another group of the guard . underground, Eliot and Whlttlngton turned back to fight them ; and Vanderbllt; and Tay lor turned, too: ' ' It was revolver and knives and iron bars anything, was a 'weapon at close quarters. - -, -Everybody was wounded; but the Ave got away on the car, with Cros by dying. Power was on; and lights were on. The whole tnnnel was il luminated ; and the track of the car In the huge conduit was clear, ' .'.m &HAPTEft XIII : 1 . v : XHERE was a chance a chance. So llot opened ' the nower wide," and .-they sped on the four living men' wounded, and one dead, on the car to catch by surprise the city that controlled the continent, and which the enemy from earth lived.' ' '. - ' For two hours they traveled thus. Then the- lights -wer extin guished;- the car rushed on la a Stygian cave. But the car's speed was. slowing; the power that pro pelled It was shut oft. ' It did no good for Eliot to thumo the control ; , the power was 'gone ; the car slid to a stop. V ' ' So there they lay underground in the tube, without light or food or water. , One dead, four, wounded. It seemed senseless; yet the- only thing left was for the wounded to crawl the rest of the way to the chief City held by the enemy. - ' Marian.'; Jackson's situation was not In the least like theirs. Marian had driven by broad daylight to the chief gate of Gorfulu, and showed herself and begged admittance; , Marian was exceedingly good looking; and the guard who par leyed with her . had the good sense to take her at once to bis superior, who knew that ' his business: was to show her to Seldel v , ' Seldel spoke English ; Marian's "line," as well as her appearance, pleased him, , , " She pointed out that the Ameri can parties both ot them from both chips were composed of fools.: She' congratulated herself that she had not been chosen by ' them ' to Join them ; she had made them take her. 'litis was true; and Seldel had if t it v ", f-vn Bs i ill tl.e clly. Marian was tired, sue said, of ninnies from- America who had chosen themselves to peo ple this planet : They couldn't even keep themselves warm! 1 , Seldel had , Marian assigned to quarters close to bis in the Citadel. , During the second day she got a good, view of the local situation, learning, among other things, that Seldel had taken very clever meas ure to protect himself against the always feared nnrisine of the Eng lish "serfs" 5 AXl the outer -rooms surrounding bis suite were equipped with sprays -which, upon pressing a lever, spread stupefying and par alyzing gas the 1 same gas which the Mldlanltes had nsed In the at tack on Hendron'a- camp. A " . Also, Seldel bad learned the . use of klal. Indeed, be- was addicted to. klul, but be bad let no one but the chemist who supplied him with tne drug, know lt-.

The Ancient People bad built a pool which could be heated to any tem peratare a- beautiful, enamel-tiled pool, with gay decorations. Seldel Insisted that Marian swim with him alone In the lovely pool and breathe klul, He dismissed his attendants and led her lft.- V The. klul, In its. big basin;' was rapidly evaporating In the warm, steamy air. ' ,r , ; Marian kept herself covered 'with a single-garment like a kimono. He ordered her to throw It off and bathe with hlm.' She asked, first to breathe more klul; and she pretended that she. was Intoxicated, ; She danced and delighted Seldel, who ordered her to throw off-her garment and : dive Into the water with him. 1 f "Why do yon keep It clutched about your he demanded. - - - In a moment she showed htm ; for he tried to tear off the kimono, and she let go with her band, which bad been holding, under the cloth, a knife. ; .... : She stabbed him as he reached for her. She left the dagger In him as he staggered back. He cursed hen and found bis alarm signal be fore he palled out the knife, threw it at her and died. Marian heard them at the door. For a moment she was dlzry: per- Lhaps the klul was affecting her. She picked up the knife, with which she bad killed him, and armed herself with It again., Then she remem bered the protectIon.be had pre pared for himself against -the up rising of the serfs, . -. 8he pulled the lever that sprayed all the outer rooms with the stupe fying gas the rooms filled with his friends,; the most dependable and trustworthy of those who bad sup ported him. i ' : '.V. !i, :-f. , The signal promised by the five If they succeeded did not. come to Hendron-Khorlu.

THIS END. Penguin Only Bird, to Stand Erect Like Man i There Is a bird so helpless and defenseless ' against ' human - attack that- it baa stirred the- pity of civ ilised nations and become the sub ject of an 'International protective treaty, says a writer In the Cleve land Plain Dealer. Penguins were in danger of be ing wholly exterminated by man be fore the- treaty was made. Many years ago the birds were very com mon, but they; were slaughtered by the hundreds of thousands because men : coveted the valuable oil In their bodies. The bird collect In droves on Antarctic islands during the mat ing season. .They stand straight op and -waddle awkwardly on (heir two abort legs, like old frock-eoat-ed gentlemen. Their stiff wings. Jointed 'only, where they are at tached to the body, are quite use less for flying. To kill them a man baa only to swing a club, and until the International agreement was made, the birds were in danger of being wiped out : Ordinarily penguins do not come., ashore. It la only during the mat ing season, when they must build simple nests of grass under some protecting ledge of rock or In a hollow In the ground, that they risk trips away from the sea for brief island visits. At sea they have no heed of wings, for they are superb divers and swimmers and they live' solely on a diet of fish, sea creatures and sea plants. 1 Icy water has no ter ror for them because their scaly feathers are an armor-like protec tion against It ; ' The penguin ' has won a' wider reputation for being comical In ap pearance than for any other qual ity.

THE HEART, THE WEATHER AND HUMAN ENERGY In ' previous articles the heart was considered as an automatic pump, contract ing normally 72 times per min ute. It delivers blood Into one large artery, the aorta, which In turn breaks up Into branches and then into twigs, and finally a million little thread-like cap illaries r e p r e sent the end or terminal, part of the system. The small tubes contract and expand ac cording to the pressure of the blood. The vascular system is a closed circulation system. The volume of blood remains constant The kid ney secretes fluids, as does the stom ach, Intestine, liver and the pan creas; the skin also secretes fluids. We drink water and involuntary and automatically keep the total vol ume of circulating blood the same. The blood pressure is maintained by the pumping action of the heart and the elasticity of the arteries. The blood always fills the vascular sys tem. Indeed the vascular system may be likened to a toy balloon filled with water. When you squeeze it, it changes in shape, but the volume is always the tame. - There are a large number of peo ple who experience difficulty In adapting themselves to existing con ditions of life. We must all re member that man Is a part and par cel of the world. He may think himself the most Important part but actually, he is most dependent upon the outside world and the manifold forces around him. First let us consider some of the forces of nature about us. The weight of the atmosphere in which we live is ever changing. A differ ence in the barometric pressure of half an Inch Is a tremendous force. If It becomes lighter, we have less pressure on our bodies, less pressure In our lungs, less oxygen held against us to breathe; we are, In fact, lighter. It Is the same as If we suddenly went up into the air a few hundred feet Some times there Is a change in barome ter reading from 29.5 to 30.5 with in a short time. This Is like going up high into the air above the earth, and then just as suddenly going down an equal distance below sea level. These sudden changes In atmos pheric pressure are associated with winds and charges In temperature. In the Great Lakes basin region, we may go to work In a tropical south ern mild sunny morning and step ont to lunch In a northern Canada atmosphere. The air we breathe is the one physical force of Mother Nature that man has not changed 1q any way. The atmosphere Is palled and pushed over the earth's surface by physical forces that defy man's power to regulate. Industry has developed In the re gion of these storm paths. Civiliza tion has advanced most rapidly where sudden changes In the weath er take place. As you and I make ourselves over and clean out the $Wil4 during these sudden weather rtanges we emerge from the ex prlnce in much better condition. We are stimulated and "pepped up." Our circulatory system responds to these weather changes. In many Instances it la the first to show the strain. Attacks of sitasm or uncon trollable contractions of the mus cle coats of these small arteries lead to various types of disturbed functions. The skin Is our personal and private weather gauge. If the akin can properly interpret and transform weather changes, then we remain normal. The rheumatic has pain and may even have to go to .bed because his skin does not send the right message to the deep er organs. The lack of blood sup ply is held by many authorities to be the main cause of rheumatic pains. Inherited and acquired ten dency toward anstableness or lack of the ability to fit into existing con ditions can be manifested by abnor mal changea during sudden altera tions in weather and climate. ' - The adult suffering from rheuma tism, from heart disease, or from mental deformities are all examples of these maladjustments to atmos pheric conditions. Scientists and engineers are now experimenting with Indoor air con ditioning. We hear of It being in stalled In trains, In hotels and the- ' atera, in school rooms, In office bulld- ktngs, and' factories, and In private homes. Science has still to do a great deal of research before we can determine how much benefit the patient with a (.circulatory 'abnor mality can derive from living In a place la which the temperature and moisture can be regulated aa nearly as possible to ideal conditions for him. Air conditioning is an In fant Industry. The medical profes sion waits Its development with eager Interest " ;. i fe Weetern Nw jpr tTnlon.
