Wiem World (Collide By EDWIN B AIMER CHAPTER VI Continued 10 The center of the continent of Africa split la two as If a eighty cleaver had come down ea It, and out of the grisly Incision poured an unquenchable tumult of the bell that dwells within the earth. Chasms yawned la the ocean floor, swallowing levels of the sea and returning It Instantaneously in continents of steam. The great plateau of Inner Tibet dropped like an express elevator nine hundred feet South America was rives into two islands, one extending north and south In the shape of a sickle, and the other, roughly circular, composed of all that remained of the high lands of Brazil North America reeled and shuddered, split, snapped, boomed and leaped. The Kooky mountains lost their Immobility and oanced like waves of water. From the place that bad been Yellowstone park a mantle of lava was spread over thousands of square miles. The coastal plain along the Pacific disappeared, and the water moved up to dash Itself In fury against a range of active volcanoes that extends from Nome to Panama. Oases, steam and ashes welled from ten thousand vents Into the earth's atmosphere. The sun went out, the stars were made Invisible. Blistering heat blew to the ends of the earth. The polar Ice melted and a new raw land emerged, fiery and shattered, mobile and catastrophic. Those human beings who survived throes were surthe world's white-ho- t vivors for the most part through good fortune. Few escaped through design on the entire planet only a dozen places which had been picked by the geologists as refugees remained habitable. Upon millions poured oceans of seething magma carrying death more terrible than the death which rolled on the tongue of the great tides. The air which was breathed by other millions was suddenly choked with sulphurous fumes and they fell like gassed soldiers, strangling In the streets of their destroyed cities. Live steam, blown with the violence of a hurricane, scalded populous centers and barren steppes impartially. From a sky that had hitherto deluged mankind only with rain, snow and hall, fell now burning torrents and red-ho- t sleet The very earth Itself slowed In Its rotation, sped up again, sucked and dragged through space at the caprice of the bodies In the sky above. It became girdled In smoke and steam, and blasts of hot gas ; and upon It as Bron-so- n Alpha and Beta drew away, there fell torrential rains which hewed down rich land to the bare rock, which cooled the issue from the earth to vast metallic oceans, aud which were accompanied by lightnings that furnished the Infernal scenery wlta Incessant Illumination, and by thunder which blended undetectably with the terres- , and PHILIP WYLE Caprricbt Kdvia Baimt Philip WjU WXD Service quently forced Itself op like the floor of a rapidly decelerated elevator. The lightning came nearer. The . thunder was continual. It was hard to hear the voice of one's nearest neighbor. Tony, with half a dozen others, rushed into the brightly illuminated women's dormitory and hurriedly brought from It Into the tumult and rain those who had remained there. By ten o'clock the violence of the quakes was great enough so that It was difficult to stand. The people huddled like sheep In a storm In the lee of the buildings.

Before midnight some caprice of the seismic disturbance snapped ofT the power. At one o'clock In the morning a truck from the kitchen of the dining halls floundered through the mud with sandwiches and coffee. At two o'clock the temperature of the wind dropped, and the wet multitude shivered and chattered with cold. Hail fell In place of rain. Half an hour later the wind stopped abruptly; It puffed, veered, and came back from the southwest It blew fifty miles an hour, a hundred, and n HtiiHi .it, . ,m- ti .

Hendron plana to build a "Space Ship," with the Idea of landing on Bronson Beta. Tony round up suitable men and women to build the ehip at a cantonment in northern Michigan. Hendron has not been able to find a metal or an alloy which will withstand the heat and pressure of atomia energy to be used In propelling the Space Ship. Tides rush through the street of New Tork.

The first black clouds which Tony The people lay on the ground, each had observed marked the beginning of man wrapped in the terrors of his own an electrical storm. The tremor he soul, with fingers clutching the grass felt presaged a steady crescendo of or burled in the earth. And so the day He left his hilltop began.

It was impossible to bring up food ajralnst the gale, Impossible even to stand. The sulphurous odors and - the heat increased. The driven rain seemed hot Toward what would have been afternoon, and in the absolute darkness, there was a sudden abatement; and the wind, while it still blew strong, allowed the shaken populace to rise and to stare through the impenetrable murk. Fifty or more of the men made i. a rush for the dining halls. They found them, and were surprised that they had not collapsed. The low hills around had furnished them with protection. . There was no time to prepare food.' Snatching what they could, and loading themselves with containers of drinking water, they fought their way back to the field. There, like animals, the people drapk and ate, finishing In time only to throw themselves once again on the bare ground under the renewed fury of the storm. Night came again. The sulphur In the air, the fumes and gases, the heat and smoke and dust, the hot rain, almost extinguished their frantically defended lives. The dust and rnin combined with the wind to make a diagonal downfall of foetid mud which blistered them and covered the earth.

In the air, there was heat, not the heat expected any day In July, but such heat ai surrounds a blast furnace a sullen withering heat which blanched the skin, parched the lips and was unrelieved by the rivulets of perspiration that covered the body. Tony went back alone to the flying field. It was a little lighter. Mist motions were visible In the sky, and threads of vapor were flung over the Stygian landscape by the wind. People were returning from what had been the flying field to the partial wreck at . the camps, In twos and threes, many of them limping, some of them being carried. He found Eve at last, Just as he reached the edge of the flying field. She was helping two other girls, who were trying to carry a third. She recognized him and called to him. "Are you all right, Eve?" His soul was In his rasping voice. He came close to her. He looked Into her eyes. She nodded, first to him and then toward the unconscious girl. She put her lips close to his ear, for she could speak only In a whisper: "Give us a hand, Tony. This girl fainted." He picked up the girl, and they followed him through the slough to the main hall of the women's dormitory. Beds were being carried there, and many of them were already filled. Some one had found candles and stuck them In window sills so that the room was lighted. Already two men who were doctors were examining the arrivals. Tony recognized one of the men as Dodson when he heard the boom of his voice: "Get hot water here, lots of It, boiling water. Don't anybody touch those bandages. Everything has to be sterilized. See If yon can find anybody who knows anything about nursing. Get the rest of the doctors." Somehow Dodson had already managed to wash, and his heavy-jowle- d face radiated power and confidence. Tony went outdoors again. A gong boomed In the kitchen, and he remembered his thirst and hunger. Around a caldron of coffee and a heap of sandwiches, which were replenished as fast as they disappeared, were grouped at least two hundred people. Tony stood In the line which passed the caldron and was banded a cup of coffee and a sandwich. The coffee tasted muddy The sandwiches had a nJ like the noxious odor In the air.

He turned to them. '"You go ahead and Inspect the machine shop. I'll join you in a minute." He then noticed that Tony had a "Hello, Vanderbilt Glad companion. to see you're safe." And again he spoke to Tony. "What was the extent of the Injury to personnel?" Tony shook his head. "I don't know yet." Vanderbilt spoke. "I 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 scratches and abrasions. In all less than seventy-fiv- e were reported so far." Hendron's head bobbed again. He sighed with relief. "Good God, I'm thankful 1" He rubbed his hand across his face. "Did you men say something about coffee?" "With brandy In It" Tony said. Vanderbilt took Hendron's arm. "May I escort you? You're a bit rocky, I guess." "Just a bit. Brandy, eh? Good." Before he walked away, he spoke to Tony. "Listen, son" The use of that word rocked Tony's heart "This was much more than I had anticipated, much worse. But the ship Is safe, although one side was dented against Its cradle. That's about all I've got to get some rest now. I'm Just a few minutes away from unconsciousness.' I want you to take over things. If you think you can stand up for another twelve hours." "I'm in the pink," Tony answered. "Good. You're In charge, then. Have me waked In twelve hours." Tony began the rounds' again. In 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.

Another group of men lay In deep sleep wherever there was room enough to recline.
