No longer waa the Inner door closed. Only a skeleton crew had remained In New York under Hendron. The scientist himself was Introduced by Tony to each of the new arrivals, and to each he said a few worda of welcome. Several were already known to him. Then Ilendron made an announcementa statement which was repeated afterward In French and German. "Ladles and gentlemen you will sleep in the dormitories above here tonight Tomorrow we will remove by airplane to my field station In Michigan. The others are already there. In bidding yon good night I must also request no one to leave the building. A splendid view of the Armament may be bad from the roof. But the streets are entirely unsafe. The last wave of emigration left New York at sundown this evening. The people who remain are either law officers or marauders.'' Jack Taylor was beside Tony when they reached the roof. "As God lives, that's a marvelous thing I" lie stared at the two yellow discs in the sky. "Think of it I The heavens are falling upon us and a few hundred men, here and there, are sitting on this stymied golf ball figuring how to get away I" "Look down, now," aald a different voice, "at the street" It was a young man's voice, carefully controlled, but In spite of Its constraint ringing with an unusually vibrant and vital quality. Tony recognized a recruit whom he had not himself selected. It waa Eliot James, an Englishman from Oxford, and a poet By profession and by nature, he was the most impractical of all the company; and one of the most attractive, In spite of his affectation If It was that of a small beard. The beard became him. He was tall, aquiline in feature, brown. The baleful moonlight of the Bron-so- n Bodies glinted lip from the street "Water," some One said. "Tea; that's the tide.

The city officially was abandoned; but men remained. Some men, whatever the warning, whatever the danger, refused to surrender; they stuck to their duties and to their services to the last Some men and some boys; and some women and girls, too. And so, on this night New York had lights ; It kept communication telephone and telegraph, too. But now another pattern of blocks disappeared; Brooklyn went black, Some out-rus- broad-shouldere- how hlghT "Not above the bridges tonight But of course the powerhouses will go." "And the tunnels will be filled T" "Of course." "There are people down there, wading in the street i . . . Why did they stay? They've been warned enough. We've business here." "So had they they supposed, and as Important to them as we Imagined ours to be to us. Besides, they're safe enough tonight They can climb three Stories In almost any building and be safe. The tide ebbs, of course, in six hours." "Then comes again higher I" "Yes much higher. For the Bron-soBodies are rushing at us now." "Exactly how." asked Eliot James, "do they look through the telescope?" "The big one Bronson Alpha," replied Jack Taylor, aa they all looked up from the street "not very different from before. It seems to be gaseous, chiefly It always, was chiefly gaseous, unlike the earth and Mars, but like Jupiter and Saturn and Neptune. Its approach to the sun has increased the temperature of Its envelope, but has brought out no details of Its geography, if you could call It that Bronson Alpha offers us no real surface, as such. It seems to be a great globe with a massive nucleus surrounded by an Immense atmosphere. What we see Is only the outer surface of the atmosphere." "Could It ever have been inhabited?" the poet asked. N"In no such sense as we understand the word. For one thing, if we found ourselves on Bronson Alpha, we would never find any surface to live on. There Is probably no sudden alteration of material such as exists on the earth when air stops and land and water begin." "But the other world Bronson Beta Is different?" "Very different from Its companion up there, but not so different from our world. It seems. It has a surface we can see, with air and clouds In Its atmosphere. There are fixed details which do not change, and which prove a surface crust exists. The atmosphere was frozen solid In the Journey through space, but the sun has thawed out the air aud has started, at least, on thawing out the seas." "Have you seen," asked the poet "anything like cities?" "Cities?" "The ruins of cities, I mean. That globe lived In the sunshine of a star that was an octillion miles away. I thought Just now, looking at It that porhara on It were citlea like this n '0 where people once watched the coming of whatever pulled them loose from their sun, and dropped them Into the black mouth of space." Some of the company about him were looking up and listening; others paid no attention to him. He did not care; a few had shared bis feeling; and among them was Eve, who stood near him. "Would yoo rather we went that way?" she said to him. "Slipping Into space, falling away, all of os In the world together, retreating farther and farther away from our sun, gradually freezing as we went Eliot James shook Into darkness?" bis handsome bead. "No; If I bad my choice, I think I'd elect our way. Yet I wonder how they faced it what they did?" "I wonder," said Eve, her eyes upon the yellow orb, "if we'll ever know." "Look," proclaimed some one else who was gazing down, "the lights are beginning to go." He meant the street lamps of New York, which bad been switched on as usual and maintained to this minute. Thousands of them still prevailed, Indeed; but a huge oblong, which had been lighted before, was darkened now. "The flood has caught the conduits I" And with the word, the little gleaming rows which etched the streets throughout another district died; but the rest burned on In beautiful de- THE STORY FROM THE BEGINNING Ramdell arrives at New York from South Africa, bearing- - a case containing photographic plates- to Dr. Cole Hendron. Tony Drake calls at the Hendroni' apartment. Ransdell arrives and Eve Hendron, with whom Tony is deeply In love, Introduces Tony to Ransdell. Newspapers publish a statement by Ilendron saying that Professor Bronson has discovered two planets, which have been brought under the attraction of the earth's sun. The result of the inevitable collision must be tha end of the world. The approaching bodies are referred to as Bronson Alpha and Bronson Beta. Bronson Beta will pass, but the other will hit the earth and demolish it To devise means of transferring to Bronson Beta is what ts occupying the minds of the members of the League of the Last Days. Hendron plans to build a "Space Ship," with the idea of landing on Bronson Beta. Tony rounds up suitable men and women to build the ship at a cantonment In northern Michigan. Hendron has not been able to And a metal or an alloy which will withstand the heat and pressure of atomic energy to be used in propelling the Space Ship. David and Beacons burned airplane-guide-s lighthouses. Ships, having their own electric Installations, could be seen seeking the sea. That, too, thought Tony, was only n splendid gesture; yet the sight of the ships, like the stubborn persistence of tbe lights, threw a tingle In his blood and made him more proud of his people. They couldn't give up some of them I What use to steer them out to sea? For what would they be saved? Yet captains and crews could be found to steer and stoke them. More blocks were black; the light from the awful orbs of the Bronson Bodies slanted sharp across the streets, their shadows unbroken by the last lamps of the city's defiance. Now the street gave up sounds the rush of water as the loud edge of the flood advanced, filling the last floor of the canyons between the buildings. All over the world at the seaboard It must be the same, except that some already were overswept Eliot James moved closer to Eve. "What does it do to you?" he said. She answered.' "Too much." "Yes," he said. "And It's only begun?" "It's not begun," whispered Eve. "This this Is really nothing. Tonight, the waters will merely rise over the lower buildings of the city, and then subside. We will all leave In the ebb tide." "Which, I suppose, will drain the rivers dry? There was clearly no practical purpose for staying this twele hours longer; but I am glad we did. I would not have escaped this sensation." Tony drew Eve away. He made the excuse that her father having retired, she also should sleep; but having taken her away from the others, he kept her to himself. "Eve, we've got to marry!" "My dear, what would marriage mean now?" "But you feel It don't you?" "Need for you" "As never before, Eve?" Yes, Tony. It's as he said oh, my dear I The waters overwhelm you the flood rising and rising, and those two yellow discs doing Itl And no one can stop rhera! They're, coming on, Tony I They're coming on, to lift the waters higher and higher; they're coming on to crack open the shell of the enrthl Tony oh, hold me!" "I have rou. Eve. You have mel the walls were beginning to fall Smoke drifted like a mist between the buildings as the water, the final enemy of fire, began to cause conflagrations. But there was no wind tonight ; so the flood Isolated each flre ; here and there a building burned; but the huge terraced towers of Manhattan stood dark and silent, Intact "You must try to sleep, Tony." "And you!" "Till the tide goes out; yes, Tony. I'll try, If you will" She kissed him, and they went in together, to separate at the door of the room where she was to sleep. Tony went on to the bed allotted him, and lay down without undressing. In the next room Cole Hen dron was actually asleep. When Tony awoke, he stalked to the window to look down at water, now rushing seaward. The roll of the world, while he had slept, had turned the city and the coast away from the Bronson Bodies so that now they sucked the sea outward ; and the wash made whirlpools at the cross streets in the gray light of dawn. "Coffee," said Kj to, "you will need." "Yes." admitted Tony, turning, 'TU need coffee," "Miss Eve Insists to pour It " "Oh. she's up." "Very ready to see you." An airplane hummed overhead; at some small distance, several others. Ransdell undoubtedly was in one of them. Inspection from the air of effects upon the earth was one of his duties a sort of reconnaissance of the lines of destruction. Tony thought of Ransdell looking down and womlerlne about Eve.

He was racked by a succession of great sobs. Eve caught his band and brought him again to the bench. Still they were alone, and she sat close beside him, holding him in her arms. For a long time they said nothing; then they arose, returned to the parapet and gazed down at the water. Strange sounds arose with the flow of the flood; the collapse of windows h under the weight of water; the of air, the Inrush of the tide.

Tony, for millions of years there was Ufa on Bronson Beta as there has been Ufe here. For more than a thousand mllUon years, we believe, the slow cautious but cruel process of evolution had been going on there as It has here. "That Is the significance of the cities that we have seen. For cities, of course, cannot 'occur.' They must have thousands and tens of thousands of years of human strife and development behind them; and, behind that the millions of years of the mammals, the reptiles, the life In the seas.

"Not Inhabited cities," objected Tony. "Of course not Inhabited now; but once. There can be no possible doubt that every one on that world Is dead. The point Is, they Uved ; so very likely we also can Uve on their world If we merely reach It" "Merely," repeated Tony mockingly. "Yes," said Hendron, Ignoring his tone. ' "It Is most likely that where they Uved, we can. And think of stepping upon that soil up there, finding a road leading to one of their cltles and entering It" He recollected himself suddenly and extended his hand. "You have an errand, Tony, to complete between the tides. I gladly lend you Eve to accompany you. She will tell you later what we all have to do." He led Tony to Eve's door but did not linger, thereafter. Tony went in alone. CHAPTER VI Eve was at a tiny table where a blue flame burned below a coffee percolator, and where an oil lamp, following the failure of electricity, augmented the faint gray of approaching dawn. Was it the light, Tony wondered, or was Eve this morning really so pale? He came to her, and whatever the rules for this day, he claimed her with his arms and kissed her. "Now," he said with some satisfaction, "you're not so pale." She did not disengage herself at once; and before she did, she clung tightly to him for a moment Then she said, "You've got to have your coffee now, Tony." "I suppose so But there's no stimulant in the world like you. Eve." She turned the tiny tap of the silver coffee pot filled a cup for him, one for herself. A few minutes later they went down together. The rushing ebb of the tremendous tide was swirling less than a foot deep over the pavement, and was falling so rapidly that the curb emerged even while they were watching. From upper floors, where many automobiles had been stored agilnst the tide, cars were reaching the street One drove up to Tony and Eve and stopped.
