I never saw hlra so excited, tie didn't know anything about what had just happened; when I told him about Von Beits he only stared at me; he won dered why I'd mentioned It He was living In something far more exciting. He'd found the record, Tony, of the Other People when they first dlscov ered the star of their doom approaching. He was looking for you ; he wants to report what happened here, Tony, a million years ago !" Tony found I'hllbln with Duquesne, to whom the linguist had brought his version of the records he bad de coded. The French astronomer strode about the table In bis excitement "We may picture now, with some confidence," be proclaimed to Tony the original situation of this planet the place which It occupied In the unl verse when the people, who have pro vided these cities for us, lived. It seems to have been about two hundred years before the end that the people on this planet began to appre ciate that a star was approaching which was to tear them away from their sun and cast them out Into ntter darkness and cold. There appear to have been living on this world, at that time, about one billion people about s of the population of our earth before our destruction began. "The thousand million of people were spread fairly evenly, In cities, towns, Tillages, over the best parts of this planet It Is perfectly plain that they had developed at least six different races of men, with some forty or fifty subdivisions distinguished by what we called 'national' characteristics. I have not yet been able to make out the form of their government at the time prior to the approach of the destroying star; but It Is clear that war either was very rare or had been completely aban doned. "They had come to provide for them selves a very high quality of life; they seemed to have established throughout their globe peace and comfort, when their scientists saw their fatal star approaching." "Go on," said Tony, when Phllbln halted. "Or can't you?" "Yes. I know a little more of what they did at that time or at least how they felt My source Is an auto biography of a man called LagOn Lagon ItoL Lagon was what we would He was an consider his surname. artist and an architect of the time I speak of the period of their discovery of, or their realization of, their threat ened extinction from the approach of the star. "With this autobiograhpy of Lagon Itol I found a volume about him by one of his contemporaries one Jerad Kan. Lagon was a genius; he was, I think, the Michelangelo of this planet and with this enormous artistic and architectural ability he had an Insatl able curiosity and interest In person alltles. He kept a most careful diary which Is like nothing so much as Sam nel Pepys'. Think of this remarkable man Lagon Itol as an amazingly vital, vigorous blending of our Michel angelo and Samuel Pepys. "He records on this page, Philbln spread It before Tony and Duquesne "his first fear, If you will call It that of the star. "This Is how I translate his words "Colk called today. He says the star Borak will certainly disturb us or rather the of our It presents us a pretty problem for survival.' "Now the Inspiring, and the excltln thing," exclaimed Philbln, "Is to follow how this Lagon Itol Immediately set to work to plan a scheme of survival for these people though the need for that scheme would not come until the time of his great grandchildren. Duquesne, with Tony, was staring at the page, the words of which they could not read ; but there was a sketch there which fascinated them. "It looks," cried Duquesne, "like first Imagination of this city V "That's what It was," said Philbln. "It la perfectly clear that cities of this type were Wend, StTahU Gorfulu, Da not and Khoriu. "None of these names appear any where In the records of the time of which I am speaking; no such cities existed. Here Lagon Itol first bega to dream of them, and he and his friend Jerad Kan began to write, edu cating the people to plan for what lay atieaa or weir grandchildren's grand children. "For what happened to them what at that time, was threatened and had not yet occurred was a widely differ ent doom from thnf of our earth. W hen we discovered our destroyers we knew that we ourselves must face the lestructlon, and that very soon." two-third- n "Precisely ! Duquesne had te ex claim. "Time for ns was sum merct- full For them for two hundred years, at least, they must have lookeJ at their doom I Tell me, friend, how a mind like that of this Lagon Itol met IL" "In the most Inevasive way. It Is plain from his diary that la bis time, there was doubt or at last the best scientists were divided over the point as to whether the approaching star would tear this planet completely away from its sun, or would merely alter Its orbit 60 as to make the climate, for part of the year, very much colder. La?on Itol considered both of those possibilities. He made a plan fur survival under colder conditions; he also speculated on the possibilities of survival even In the dark and cold of space." But" said Tony, "you found no actual diagram of the engineering ar rangements under the cities?" "At the time In which I now find myself." said Philbln. "these cities existed only In Lagon Itol's fancy. His diary either was missed by our friends the Midianites, when they tried to re move all diagrams that would have been useful to us; or else they considered this book harmless." Steadily the sun diminished in size; blue shadows stole across the plains f the adopted planet as the long, late afternoons dwindled to dark, and in the night the outer temperature dropped far below zero. Uuder the shield of the city, beat remained, and was rer.ewed from the huge transformers fed from Impulses far away. By mercy of the Midianites I By mercy, or by policy? CHAPTER XII Hourly they argued this, especially at night when the needed lights burned bright, and the ventilators spun, circu lating the warmed currents of air to combat the bitter cold that settled on the shield. And machinery moved, because the power Impulses sent from the station in control of the Midianites con tinued. The enemy made no attack. lu- deed, only at a distance did they reappear at all; and then It was In the sky. Larks hovered, but far away watching; that was all. And Tony told his pilots, who also were flying larks, not to molest .them, or even appear to attack them. What If they sent down a few flyers from the sky? Attack upon the city with a few planes would be absurd; attack from the ground would be fantastic. The defense, established In any of these great metal cities, must be Impregnable; the advantage of cover was overwhelming. The Midianites themselves appreciated this. After the pur suit of Von Belts they made no move which even suggested an attack upon Hendron. To the contrary, they continued to send through the conduits s under the ground the which kept lighted and warm the city of Hendron, much as It had been when It was Khoriu, a million years ago. Khoriu, Wend, Strahl, Gorfulu, and Danot so the Other People had named the five cities they had built a million years ago in defiance of the destruction stealing upon them. Wend was the great shielded metrop olis which Tony and Eliot James first had visited; Strahl and Danot were the two similar cities seen, and mapped, to the south. Gorfulu was the greatest; and not of only that It was the control-citthe group ; for It dominated the under ground works which generated the power for the entire group of cities. It was Gorfulu that the Midianites had seized for themselves, . and to which they had brought the survivors of the English Space Ship, as captives. Attack upon the city, with the weapons at band and transportable, would be folly; every feature and ma teriai of construction of the cities gave overwhelming advantage to the depower-impulse- y fense. No one offered any scheme of attack that suggested any chance of success, "The fact Is;" said Eliot James once, putting frankly In open words what they all were feeling, "so far from being able to conquer them, we're at their mercy this minute; and they know It' "When are they going to shut us off?" they asked each other; and when they did not utter tiie words, they wanted to. The waiting had become an obsession. The long rivers had turned to Ice; the lake became a sheet of Ice which the sun at noonday scarcely affected, Flees tilled the seas, the pilots of the larks reported. Frequently at noonday, when the small sun stood nearly over head, surfaces thawed, but when the world began to turn away, and long before the darkness. It was bitterly cold again ; and the night was arctic It was at night that It came at dinner time. The company under Tony's command were assembled In the great hall where meals were served. A few of the men stood at salient posts, always on watch. There was a watch at the top of ti e tallest towers, end at the eight gates. Guards we're ported also at the passages to the chief channels below the city. . . . The lights went out Later It was realized that simultaneously, the move ment of the currents of wanned air ceased; but at first this was appreciated only by those stationed near the fans, which whirred to a stop In a humming diminuendo.

Matches were struck and applied to torches previously fixed on brackets about the halL Everybody pretended to like it; everybody sat down again. Diiiiier went on in a medieval gloom. "It's begun." said iMdson to James. "I won't worry about putting It down in my book tonight." the diarist replied. "111 not forget It before tomorrow I" He was aware of an anger within b!m which bad no parallel In bis "They're doing this," he said, scarce than to himself. "They're doing this deliberately to freeze us out to them to take their terms." "What terms exactly, dyon suppose? some one Inquired calmly. Eliot turned, and In the flickering glow of a flare he faced Peter ly more to the surgeon Van-derb- llt "We'll hear soon enough, Ti say." But no terms came! no communication at all arrived from those In control of the capital city and lo control, therefore, of the five shielded cities. Gorfulu maintained Its Illumination, as Eliot James and Ransdell ascertained by flying at dawn and sighting the great glowing dome of the ancient capital. Light pervaded that city as before; and beyond question, heat was there. Other pilots inspected the three other cities Wend, Strahl and Danot, the shields of which, like the dome of the capital, remained aglow; and those pilots flew back also to Hendron Khoriu, which alone of the five cities lay lightless and cold In the winter morning. In the great these pilots Uansdell Hall of the Council reported to James and : "They've cut ns off and us alone. "Why not then," some one said, "move to another city? To Wend?" "Then wouldn't they cut us off there?" countered Ransdell practically. "The only reason those cities aren't cut off Is because we aren't there." "Then how about some other cities elsewhere?" "Where else?" questioned Ransdell; for he bad done much observation flying. "On some other continent In the other hemisphere." perhaps "There are no other cities suitable, "Nowhere else in this world?" "None. The old globes which we found do not show them ; and we have never found any others." "But we have beei. told that the old population of the planet was one billion people!" "Not at the end, however I" "What happened?" Dave Ransdell, for reply, turned about to Tony. "We can give today at least a partial answer to that" Tony said, looking about the little group of his Council "And I think it can be considered pertinent to our discussion of our own emergency, for we are dealing with a mechanism of living or of dying created, not by ourselves but by the original people of this planet It certainly can only be of help to us to understand what they did. Professor Philbln," he said, "please tell-us.- " Peter Vanderbilt arose quietly; and suggested, "Should not every one hear this?" "Certainly," said Tony. "Open the doors." And into the great room hundreds came In and stood. For the halls without had been crowded. Nearly everybody was there, except men on watch or detailed to definite errands. "I can assume," the little linguist began, "that you all have learned what we, who have been Interpreting the books, learned and reported some days ago of the time of Lagon Itol, which was approximately two hundred years before this planet was torn from Its sun. "Lagon Itol, who was certainly a very great man, one of enormous perceptions and Imagination, considers in his diary the fate facing one billion people: so we may put that as a rough figure for the population of this planet In his time. But he astutely observes that there would be nothing like that number finally to face their fate; and he was right. From his time, the people "of this planet rapidly reduced themselves In number by diminishing births. "Probably there were barely ten millions of people of all ages when the disturbing star which they called Bo-ra-k came Its closest and cast them off into space. "The best of the energies of the dwindling millions had been put, for two generations, into these five cities which were planned, located and created and equipped for the final defiance of extinction. They abandoned all older habitations and adopted these." "But where did they go, In the end?" A dozen demanded it together. "Of that mystery, we have not yet" Phllbln confessed, "a trace, They had reduced themselves, we know, from a billion in number at the time of Lagon Itol, two hundred yenrs before, to about ten millions Barely one per cent of them, therefore, were spared up to the time of the catastrophe to attempt the tremendous task of further survival. "Throughout at least the last Ave thousand years of their history, cremation of the dead was" universal among them. We will find no cemeteries or entombments, except perhaps very few archlne harrows from a very early d :iyo. The people throughout their porl-.disposed of their dead in vstem:iric, orderly way. clv-iSiv- "Now. did the die, and as they last tea million also went were they also cremated by their survivors, so that we will find, at the end, only the bones of some small group, who, enduring to the last bad disposed of those Immediately before them? Or somehow, did some of them escape. It waa Tony, presiding, and having the advantage of having heard most of these facts before, who first found words: "Returning to our present problem," he recalled his companions to that which had gathered them together, "it Is dear that we can find no other cities of the shielded type, and equipped to combat the cold, except the five we know; for no others ever were built. We know, also that there is no other generating station providing light and heat and power, except that close to Gorfulu; for no other ever was planned or built" Jack Taylor'a post when on watch, was the northern gate. "The Porte de Gorfulu," Duquesne bad dubbed It recalling the fashion In Paris of naming the gate after the city to which, and from which. Its road ran. Eliot gazed out the gate along the road where the shadow of a post placed, by the Ancient People lay long and faint upon the ground.

"What's the hurry, soldiers?" some one softly hailed from the darkness of a hooded doorway. It was a glrl'a voice, teasing, provocative. Both men halted. "Who are you?" "Please, soldiers, we're only friends caught out In the dark and needing protection." Jack laughed, and knew her before he turned on his flashlight "Marian," he demanded, "what are you doing here, and who's with you?" Then her companion, Shirley Cotton, made herself known. "We were hoping," Marian Jackson said, as the two girls walked along with the two young men, "for somebody to come by who knows how to turn on the heat again, not to speak of the lights." "Were you In that building?" Eliot asked her. "We were; and I tell you, It's hard to open .doors now that the power's off. They stick terribly." "What were yon doing, Marian?" "Shall we tell them, Shirley?" "Why not?" "Well," said Marian, speaking carefully as though she might be overheard, "we decided we'd see what we could do as baits." "Baits?" "Baits. The chunks of meat trappers used to put In traps, and like minnows on hooks baits, you know. My idea." "Then," said Jack generously, "It must have been a pippin.
