CHAPTER VII Tony’s senses reasserted themselves. He realised that the wind was dying, the oppressiveness was departing and the temperature had towered perceptl- ; bly. He was able for the first time ! to hear the conversation of people ; around him. He saw Peter Vanderbilt sitting j pathetically on a tog. a cup of coffee in ! one hand, a sandwich In the other, and his bedraggled handkerchief spread over hie knees for a napkin. The elegant Vanderbilt’s mustache was clogged with mud. His hair was a cake of mud. His shoes were gobs of mud. One of his pant legs had been torn off at the knee. His shirt-tails had escaped his belt and yet as Tony approached him, his urbanity was unruffled. Vanderbilt rose. “Tony, my friend.” he exclaimed. “What a masquerade I What a disguise! I recognised yon only by the gauge In which heaven made your shculders. Sit down. Join me in a spot of lunch.” Tony sat on the log. “I'll have < snack with you.” he replied. “Then I must get back to work." The quondam Beau Brummel of ! Fifth avenue nodded understandingly I “Work! 1 never saw so many people I who were so avid for work, and yet there's something exalting about IL j And the storm was certainly imprea give. I admit that I was impressed. In fact I proclaim that 1 was impressed.. Yet its whole moral was futility." “Futility *’ “Oh, don't think that for a minute 1 was being philosophical. I was thinking of the many years I had spent as a lad in learning geography, and how useless all that knowledge wns to me now. 1 should imagine that the geography 1 learned at twelve was now completely out of date.” Tony nodded to the man on the tog. "So 1 should imagine. You'll excuse me. but I’m needed." Peter Vanderbilt smiled and without a word rose and followed the younger man. They found Hendron emerging from the great hangar. He seized Tony’s shoulder the minute his eyes lighted upon him. ‘Tony, son. have you seen KveF “Yes. She's ail right She’s working over at the emergency hospital.” Beh)nd Hendron stood a number of men. He turned to them. "You go ahead and inspect the machine shop. Hl join you in a minute." He then noticed that Tony had a companion. “Hello, VandertHt. Glad to see you’re safe." And again he •poke to Tony. “What was the extent of the injury to personnel?” Tony shook his head. "I don’t know J*L* c Vanderbilt spoke. T Just came from the field hospital before I had my coffee. I was making a private checkup. So far as is known, no one here was killed. There are three cases of collapse that may develop Into pneumonia. several minor cases of shock, two broken legs, one broken arm. a sprained ankle; and there are forty or fifty people with more or less minor •cratches and abrasions. In all less than seventy-five were reported so far." Hendron’s head bobbed again. He Sighed with relief. “Good God. I’m thankful!" He rubbed hts hand across his face. “Did you men say something •bout coffeel" "With brandy tn it," Tony said. Vandertdlt took Hendron’s arm. "May I escort you? You're a bit rocky. I guess." X “Just a bit. Brandy, eh? Good." before be walked away, he spoke to Tony. “Listen, son-—” The use of that word rocked Tony’s heart. “This was much more than I bad anticipated, much worse. But the ship Is safe, although one side was dented against Its cradle. That’s about alt. I've got to get some rest now. I’m just a few minutes away from unconsciousness 1 want yon to take over things. If yon think you can stand op for another . twelve hours" Tm in the pink." Tony answered. "Good. You’re In charge, then. Have me waked to twelve honrs"

Tony began the rounds again. Tn the hall of the women’s dormitory, Dodson and Smith were hard at work Their patients sat or lay in bed. Eve, together with a dozen other women, was acting as nurse. She bad changed her clothes, and washed. She smiled at him across the room, and he told her that her father was asleep. Tony went next to the machine shop. A shift of men was at work clearing away the Infiltrated dust on the engines and the mud that had poured over the floors. Another group of men lay In deep sleep wherever there was room enough to recline. One nf the workers explained: “Nobody around here can work for tong without a little sleep, so we're going in onehour shifts. Sleep an hour, clean an hour. Is that all right. Mr. Drake?" j “That’s fine." Tnny Raid. At the power house a voice hailed him. “You’re Just In time, Mr. Drake." “What for?" I “Come In." Tony entered the power house. The man conducted him to a walled panel and pointed to a switch. “Pull her down." Tony pulled.; At once ail over the cantonment obscurity was annihilated by the radiance of countless electric lights. The electrician who had summoned Tony grinned. "We're using a little emergency engine, and only about a quarter of the lights of the lines are operating. That’s!all we've had rime to put In order, but it’s better than this d—n’ gloom." Tony’s hand came down firmly on the man’s shoulder. "It’s marvelous. You boys wort In shifts now. All of you need sleep." The electrician nodded. "We will. Some of the big shots are Inside. Shall I tell them to come out to see yon?” An Idea suddenly struck Tony. “Look here. Why shouldn’t I go and see them if I wapt to? Why Is It you expect them to come out and see me?” "You’re the boss, aren’t you?” "What makes you think I’m the boss?" The man looked at him quizzically. "Why, it. said so In the instruction book we got when we were all sent out here. Everybody got a copy, it said you were second tn command In any emergency to Mr. Hendron; and this Is an emergency. Isn’t It?" Tony conquered hts surprise. It flashed through his mind that Hendron was training him to be In command of those who stayed behind and launched the Space Ship. He was conscious of a naive pride at this Indication of the great scientist’s confidence In him. “I won’t bother the men here," he said, "Just so long as we get as many lights as possible, as fast as possible.” Next Tony went to the kitchen. Fires were going tn two stoves; more coffee wks ready, the supply of sandwiches had overtaken the demand, and kettles of soup augmented IL Taylor was still In charge, and he made bls report as soon as be saw Tony. “The big storehouses are half underground, as you probably know, and I don’t think the food in them has been hurt much, although it has been shaken up. There’s apparently a large herd of live stock and a lot of poultry about a quarter of a mile In the woods. I've sent men there tb take charge They already reported that the sheep and goats and steers didn't budge although their pens and corrals were destroyed. They’re putting up barbedwire for the time being. The water and mud spoiled whatever they got Into, but most of the stuff was Ln Mg containers. The main that carried the water from the reservoir is smashed, and I guess the water in the reservoir isn’t any good anyway. I’m boiling all that I use, bat somebody has Jost got the bright Idea of using the fire apparatus and hoses from some of those young lakes." •You’ve done d—d well Taylor." Tony said. "Do you think you can carry on for a few hours more?" "Sura. I’m good for a week of this.” When Tony went outdoors again. It was four o’clock, though he had no means of knowing the time. Once again he noticed that the air was cooler. , r Slowly he walked to the top of the small hill from which he tad watched the Bronson Bodies on the evening bfr

fore. He felt a diminution or the sui- ; phur and other vapors tn the air. I For the moment, ealm had come. The Bronson Bodies not only had passed and withdrawn toward the sun, but they shone no longer in the night sky. If atmospheric conditions permitted, they would be visible dimly by day; tat only by day. (TO BE CONTINUED.) WESTEND The Bethany Home Ec Club met Dec. 12 at the home of Mrs. Jesse Eisen our.
