over the rim Of the bluff into the river.
A moment later the deep black wa
ters of 1.-THE hole" had closed above
the mass of sentient steel. The swift
current had smoothed away every
trace Of the strange monster it had en-
Quilted, and there by the side of the
track, huddled against the broken sig
nal post, his clothing plastered with
mud and CRIME, motionless and with
a nasty cut on the temple, lay Harry
Sanderson.
A long, saturating peace, a deep and
drenching darkness, had folded him.
Duly at first, at length more insistent-
~ and sharply, rhythmic pulsing
sound began to annoy the quietude.
K-track, k-tracli, k-track-it grew loud
cr; 1t grew more momentous and ma
terial; it irritated the calm that had
wrapped the animate universe. AS
though from an Unreasonable distance

his eyes did not open at once, for the
gentle swaying that Graded him was
pleasant, and the muaied clack and
hum soothed him like opium. He open
ed his eyes. 1t was daylight He was
lying Oh dusty boards that ratified and
vibfated beneath him, the floor of an
empty freight car in motion. A small
brown dog, an AFFECT, muddied and
shivering morsel. was snuggled close to
his side. 1t whied as If with joy to
see his eyes opened, and its stubby tail
beat the floor
Harry turned his head. Two men in
dingy garments were seated on the
floor little distance away thumbing a
dccrepit pack of cards over an empty
boz. He could see both side faces, one
weather beaten and good humored, the
other crafty--knights of the road.
The sudden movement had sent q
momentary twinge to his temple. He
put up his hand. 1t touched a coarse
handkerchief that had been bound
tightly about it. The corner hung down.
1t was soiled and stiff with blood.
What was he doing there? Where was
he? Who was he?
1t came to him with start that he
actually for the moment did not know
who he was-that lie had ridiculously
slipped the leash of his identity. He
smiled at his predicament. He would
lie quietly for a few moments. and it
would come. OF course it would come (!
Yet it did not come, though he lay
many moments, the fingers OF. his mind
funlblng for the latch of the closed
door. He Lad walked perfectly well,
all save the slight cut ON his temple,
ana that was clearly superficial, n
mere scratch. Not a trouble or ankle
ty married his soul. His mind was as
clear and light as a lark's. Body and
brain together felt as if they had never
had q serious ache in the world. But
all that had preceded his awakening
was gone from him as completely as
though 1t had had no existence.
Stealthily he rose to a sitting posture

plezity. took a swift and silent In
