Settled tn a chair. Tony glanced around the comfortable furnishings of the student's room and then gazed at * the student himself. A lanky youth with red hair, good blue eyea and a sprinkling of freckles that carried into his attained maturity more than a memory of the childhood be j had so recently left “Yes.” Tony repeated, “I'm from I Cole Hendron. The dean told me about your academic work. Professor Oates showed me the thesis on Light which you turned in for your Ph. D. He said it was the finest thing he had had from the graduate school since be d , held the chair of Physics." Dull red came tn the young man's . face. “Nothing much. I Just happened to have an idea. Probably never i another In my life." Tony smiled. “I understand you were I stroke in the varsity crew two years ago. That's the year you were rowing everybody out of the water. Isn’t i itr “There weren't any good crews that year. We Just happened to have the ; least bad ones." Tony looked at the youth's hands, nervously clenching and unclenching. They were powerful bands, which nevertheless seemed to possess the capacity for minute adjustment Tony smiled. "No need of being so modest, old fellow. It’s Just as I said. Cole Hendron in New York Is getting together a bunch of people for some work he wants done during the next few months. It’s work of a very private nature. I can't tell you what I cant even assure you that he will accept you, but I'm touring around In the attempt to send him some likely people. You understand that I'm not offering you a job in the sense jobs have been ottered in the past I don’t know that any salary is attached to it at all. You will be supplied with a place to live, and provided with food, if you accept" The tall youth grinned. “I suppose you know tbst offering a chance to associate with Cole Hendron, to a man like me. Is just like offering the job of secretary to to a bishop.” “M m rnXHy the way. why did you stay here at the university when most of the graduate students have lefty "No particular reason. I didn't have anything better to do. The university Is on high ground, so It didn't seem sensible to move for that reason, and < I thought 1 might as well go on with j my work." “I see," Tony replied. His companion hesitated to say what was obviously on his mind, but | finally broke the short silence. “Look here. Mr.—Mr.—" “Drake. Tony Drake." “Mr. Drake. I can't understand why on earth Hendron would want me. If he's planning to take a group of people to some safe spot in order to preserve scientific knowledge during the next year, he can find hundreds of people, thousands of people, that have more knowledge to save, and a better memory to save it in, than I have." Tony looked at the good-humored blue eyes and liked the young man. He felt instinctively that here was one person whom Cole Hendron and the committee would surely accept The name of the man before him, he recalled, was Jack Taylor—bls record for a man of twenty-five was startling. He grinned at the youth's speculation. •You're a physicist, Taylor. If you were In Cole Hendron's shoes, and were trying to take a group of people to a place of safety, just where, under the circumstances we anticipate, would you take them?” The other man was thoughtful for | an instant “That’s just what worried um. I can't think of any place on ’

earth that would offer a refuge essen ttally naUafactory." “Exactly. No place on earth.” Tony emphasised the last two words. Jack Taylor frowned quickly, and suddenly the freckles on hi# face st«M<d out became his culor iud <L- '

parted. “God Almighty! You don’t mean to suggest—" Tony lifted his hand and dropped It “I'm offering you a letter that will give you an Interview with Cole Hendron. Do you want to go and see him?” For a minute Taylor did not answer Then he said disjointedly: “Marvel ous 1 My G—d —Hendron's just the man —the only man! To think that anybody would come around to give me a shot at such a thing!” Tears suddenly filled his eyes, and be stood up and walked In two mighty strides to the window. Tony slapped his back. “See you In New York. Better get going right away. So long, old man." l>eep)y moved, proud that any race, any civilization should produce human beings of the temper and fineness of young Taylor. Tony walked out onto the university campus and hurried to keep an appointment with an obscure but talented professor of chemistry whose Investigations of colloids had placed his name on the long list furnished to Tony by Hendron and his associates. Tony, having applied himself for months to acquisition of the primitive proficiencies in growing things and in the manual arts, had found himself appointed by Cole Hendron as his personnel nfiicer. Tony possessed, decidedly. a knack with people; and so Hendron was sending him about to recruit young men for the extraordinary duties of the crew of the Space Ship. Her faljier had asked Eve ,to suggest, provisionally, the wr-men who must go along; and Tony had met some whom Eve had selected. Strange to think of them standing with you—and witb a few other men out <>f al) our world s creationjgon the soil of an empty planetl What would they be to each other there? Stranger still, to gaze at night into the sky. and see a spot of light beside a brighter orb and realize that you might become a visitor to that spot in the sky! Tony returned, three weeks later, to New York city, where Hendron now spent most of his time. He had work shops and labor ,lories started in several places, but the advantage of conveniences in New York was so great that he had decided not to abandon his work there until later. Upon his arrival in the city, late on a' July afternoon, Tony went at once to see Hendron and Eve. He had business with Hendron—none with Eve; he merely longed to see her and be with her. more than he dared display. Not much change was observable in the city. The station was a sea of people, as It had been on the day of his departure. The streets were more than normally crowded, and his taxicab made slow progress. There were three policemen tn the front offices of the laboratories, and he was admitted only after a wait Eve came Into the reception room first and shook hands with him eoolly. That la, outwardly It was coolly; but lnwardly, ; Tony felt sure, she was trembling, even as was he. “Oh, Tony," she said, her voice almost giving way. “I'm so glad to have you back I I’ve read all your reports.” •'l've read all your acknowledgements of them." said Tony hoarsely. It was al! that had passed between them. Reports and acknowledgements, tn lieu of love letters! "Father will be right out We've been working steadily ever since you left You and Dad and I are going to have dinner together tonight." •Anyone else?” asked Tony Jealously. “No; who would there beF “Jour South African. I thought.

probaEly." “Not mine. Tony !• •Tour father's, then. He keeps hie to the laboratory—for you.” . Hendron, wearing Ida laborator apron, walked briskly into the froa 1 office. “Hello there, Drake! Dellghto ’ to see back. Tour racists

| have been arriving daily, and we’ve put them all to work Dodson and Smith and Greve are enthusiastic about them.” He looked at his watch. “Five-fifty. Fve got a little work to do here. Then we want you to come up to ..the house for dinner." As Tony unlocked his apartment door, Kyto sprang tn his feet. “I take your presence.” Kyto said, “with extravagant gratitude.” Tony laughed. “A bath. Kyto. a dinner Jacket, something th the way of a highball—l haven’t had a drink since I left. Good lord! It's refreshing to see this digging again. How's my mother!” “Excellent as to health Telephoning daily.” "You'd better ring her up. I telegraphed her occasionally, but heaven only knows when I'll see her. She is a darn good sport." “A person of profound esteemableness.” Tony looked with surprise at the back of the Jap as he started toward the telephone. The approach of the Bronson bodies had made him servant more loquacious than he had ever been before. Aside from that, no rhan-.-e tn Kyto was discernible nor did Tony anticipate any change. He began to remove his travel-worn clothes, and was in a bathrobe when Kyto succeed ed tn completing a telephone Conner tlon with bis mother's house tn Con nectlcut • • • • • • • Tony moved with a feeling of tn credulity. The Hendron apartment was I exactly as It bad teen. Eve appeared : —a new Eve who was a little different i from the old Eve. She wore a green I evening dress that he remembered from an hour spent long ago on the balcony. . “Hello, Tony.” in her eyes was the same wonderment, the same surprise and unbelief that he felt. Hendron appeared immediately after his daughter. “Drake! Evening, old man. Well, this is odd. Here we stand. Just as we did In the old days, eh?” The dining-room doors were opened. They-sat down. Leighton served consomme, and Tony picked up his silver spoon with a dreamy feeling of unreality which psychologists have noted and only badly explained. Hendron brought him to his sensea "Tell us the news. Tony. We’ve been living down at the laboratory ever since you left. This is Eve’s and my first night off. Eating there, sleeping there. We have dormitories now on the floor above. What's going on in the world? You know, we even bar newspapers now. They're too much of a distraction, Hodson has instructions to keep track of thb n« 'V? hut not to give us any, unless It will have «.?’ effect on our work." Tony began to talk. He took what opportunity their questions gave, to eat. “It hasn’t made as much difference as you’d think. The government at Washington is now less concerned with the fact that the populace should be moved away from the coast than it is with immediate problema If you really have not read about them. 1 can give you some idea. There was a general strike in Chicago two weeks ago that tied up everything. No electric light and no water; nothing for a day. There was a terrific* riot in Birmingham. The police forces in half a dozen cities walked out The state governments weren’t able to cope with the situation. In some cases It was just that the people decided not to work any more, and in others it was pure mob uproar. The federal government stepped in everywhere. They took over blanket control of ths utilities, saw to it that trains were kept running, power houses going, and so on. Nominally workers are Jailed for dereliction, but actually I think they have found It necessary to execute them. Trouble began when I was In Boston, but in three days al) the major functions of housing, food and transportation were working fairly well. “I think the people looked first to the President, anyway; and the President bad the good sense to kick politics In the face and take full authority upon himself to do anything and everything which he thought would keep the country in operation. There ♦ waa some trouble in the army and navy, still more In the National Guard, especially with soldiers who were fathers and wanted to remain with their families. I suppose there are nearly half a million men doing police duty right now." Hendron looked keenly at Tony. “That's all according to the plan that the League worked out before the news broke. A man named Carey is largely responsible for It. He’s an economist I believe he’s a guest at the White House right now, and has been for ten days.” “I’ve seen his name," Tony said, and continued: “As I was saying, It hasn't made as much difference as you would imagine I saw one nasty riot in Baltimore, between soldiers on one side and cope on the other, but tn half an hour it was all over. I think that the work of keeping the public informed has been marvelous. The radio goes twenty-four hours a day, and the news papers appear as often as they have anything fresh to print People are kept encouraged and reassured and directed. Os course, part of the general calmness is due simply to man inertia. For every person that will get hysterical or do something foolish, there are about ten who will not only fall to get hysterical, but who will not even recognize that their Uvea are presently going to ba changed entirely. The whole city of Philadelphia, with the exception of the university, is almost unaltered. Anyway, that's the impression you get of It “And the unemployed have been corraled en masse. There la a project to turn the entire basin of the Mississippi north and west of Kansas City Into an abode for the coast populations, and the unemployed are building there, I understand, quarters for ten million people. Most of them are temporary. They are also planting vast areas of lands in crops. I Imagine that they are going to compel the migration when the interior of the country to prepared as well as possible to receive it, and when the danger of tidal waves draws near. As a matter of fitet. every industrial center to vrorkI lag st top speed, and

quarters for their produeK 1 don’t just remember the figures, but an appalling quantity of canned goods, clothIng. medical supplies, and things like that are being prepared and distributed to bases in the Mississippi valley. Granted that the valley remains inhabitable. I really believe that a majority of our population wdti be successfully moved there and Installed for an Indefinite time." •Tfs wonderful. Isn't it?” Eve said. Tony nodded. “The machinery which organized millions of men during the war was still more or less available for this much bigger undertaking, from the standpoint of plans and human cogs. The hardest thing is to convince the people that it must be done; but the leaders have recognized the fact and are going ahead. A sort of pros perity has returned. Os course, all prices and wages are rigidly fixed now, but there is more than enough work to go around, and keeping busy Is the secret of holding the masses In emotional balance. , ' “I can’t give you a really good picture of it alt I really know very little of it. It all came in dashes—things read tn newspapers, things heard over the radio, things told me; but this country at least has grasped the basic Idea that there Is going to be trouble, and great trouble, tn a short time.” “Quite so,” Hendron said. “Now bow about the rest of the world?" “The rest of the world?" Tony repeated Hendron's inquiry. “1 don't know much about the rest of the world. What I do know Hl tell you; but the Information is garbled, contradictory and unreliable. For one thing, many of the European nations are still foolishly trying to keep their plans secret in order to protect their borders, and so on. In fact, I wouldn’t be at all surprised If they fell to fighting. There Seems to be small thought of co-operation, and they stick fiercely to national lines. “England’s labor troubles festered the minute she tried to Institute compulsory work for those who tended her utilities. I believe London was without power or light for five or six days. There was a vast amount of sabotage. The police fought battles through Piccadilly and Trafalgar square with armed mobs. “Australia and Canada, on the other hand, acted very ranch as the United States has acted. They got down to brass tacks and the doing what they can for and with their people. So Is South Africa. "The French are very gay about it, and very mad. The whole country is filled with sputtering, Ineffective people. They're playing politics for all It’s worth, and new cabinets come and go, sometimes at the rate of three a day, without ever getting anything accomplished all. But at least they have kept functioning ■»* a nation. In Germany a few commiinlsia w«re killed; and so were a few Jews. " “Mussolini is struggling to keep his control—so far, with success. As for Russia, little Is known. Os course it Is a terrible blow to the Soviet I believe the government is carrying on rather bitterly, but as best it can. China Is still Just China. So you can tell very little about It In South America the news has served merely to augment the regular ensp of revolutions.” » Tony put down his fork. “That’s all I know." He reached for a cigarette and lighted it “What to expect tomorrow or a week from tomorrow, no one can say. Since It's impossible to tell just bow high tides will be, how far ' Inland they will rush, and what areas will be devastated, and since not even the best guess will be any indication whatsoever of where the land may rise, where It may fall, and what portions of It will witness eruptions and quakes, it may be that even the gigantic steps being taken by some governments will be futile." After dinner Leighton ushered Ransdell Into the apartment Tony was furious. He had biped to have Eve to himself. How he had hoped to have her, and with what *urther satisfaction, he did not define; but at least he knew that he wanted Ransdell away. “He has flown five times to Washington for Father," Eve explained. •And he’s wonderful in the laboratory. He has a genius for mechanics." The South African listened to this account of himself witb embarrassment; and Tony realized that under any other circumstances he would have liked him. In fact, originally Tony had liked David Ransdell immensely—until he had realized that he also was to go with him—and with Eve —on the Space Ship! (TO BE CONTINUED.)
