 He turned back from the open win dow. His eye travelled beyond Helen's trim figure down the empty hail. Wait right here, Jack" he shot over his shoulder, and rushed along the hall and down the stairway before ei- ther the young man or his sister could recover from their astonishment.

 His air of languid indifference had fallen from him. His eye was bright, and he spoke with authority and vigor.

The priya-s office possessed the at. mosphere of a cold-storage vault. Four men occupied it. At the desk was seated the mayor. leaning forwSSd iS an attitude of attention, his tTsple chin on one clenched fist, his heavy face scowling in concentration Op posite him lounged two men, one lean. ing against the table, the other against the wall. One had his hand raised in argument, and his mouth open. The other was watching, an ex. pression of alertness on his sharp countenance. At a typewriter lolled his clerk, his hand fumbling among some papers.
 The group was exceedingly lifelike more so, Darrow thought, than any wax figures the Eden Musee had ever placed for the mystifcation of it's country visitors. Indeed, the only in- jication that the men had not mersIy suspended action on the entrance oi the visitors was a fine white rimt frost that sparklsd across the burly countenance of the mayor. DarTow remembered that, summer and winter that dignitary had always perspired!
 Burns stood by the door. rooted tS the spot. his Jaw dropped. his eye staring. Darrow quite calmly walked to the desk. He picked up the ink stand and gazed curiously at its solidi- fled contents, touched the nearest man, gazed curiously at the papers on the desk, and addressed Burns.
 These seem to be frozen, too. This is a sweet gang to be getting together on this sort of job!"
 Quite calmly he gathered the pa pers on the desk and stuffed them into his pocket. He picked up the desk telephone, giving number. Ouch, this receivers cold" he remarked to Burns Hello. Despatch. Is Hal lowell in the office? Just in? Send him over quick. keen jump, City Hall, mayors second-story office. No, right now. Tell him it's Darrow"
 He hung up the receiver.

 He dove into the subway. HalloweII gAzed after him
 There goes either a great man or crazy fool" he remarked to an Eng fish sparrow. He turned over rapidly the papers Darrow had found on the mayors desk, and smiled grimly. ~Of all the barefaced, bald-headed steals" he said.
 Darrow soon mounted once more the elevator of the Atlas Building. He found Jack and Helen still waiting. Before entering the wireless office Oar row cast a scrutinizing glance along the empty hall.
 "It's all right" he said. I'm surer than ever. Everything fits exactly. Now, Helen" he said, T want you to go home, and want you stay there. No matter what happens, do not move from the house This town Is soing

CHAPTER Xx.
The PIanue of Cold.


 Without pause, and three steps al a time. Darrow ran down three flights of stairs. Then, recovering from his initial excitement somewhat, he caught the elevator and shot 10 the street. There he walked rapidly to the subway, which he took as far as City Hall Square On emerging from the subway station he started across for the Despatch office as fast as he could walk. By the entrance to the City Hall. however, he came to an abrupt halt. From the open doorway rushed his friend, Officer Burns, of the City Hall Station.
 The pOlieeman's face was chalky white: his eyes were staring; his cap was over one side, he staggered un- certainly. As he caught sight of Oar row he stumbled 10 the young man and chung to his neck, muttering in coherently. People passing in and out looked at him curiOusly and smiled
 My God!" gasped Burns, his eyes rowing. q says to him, Mike. don't wonder you've got cold feet And there he was, and the mayor-Heaven save-and his secretary! My God!"
 Darrow shook his shoulder.
 Here" he said decisiyely. what are you talking about? Get yourself to- gether, Remember you're an officer; don't lose your nerve this way!"
 At the touch to his pride Burns did pull himself together somewhat. but went on under evident strong excite ment.
 'I wen. in just now to the mayors office a minute" said he, and saw my friend Mike Mallory, the dGoTkeepeT, settin' in his chair, as usual It was cold-like, and I went up 10 him and says. Mike. no wonder you get cold feet down here just b. way of a joke: and when he didn't answer, went up to him, and he was dead, there in his chair"
 Well, you've seen dead men be, fore. There's no occasion to lose your nerve, even if you dis know him, % said Darrow
 The brutality of the speech had it's Intended effect. Burns strengthened.
 That's all very we'll" said he more collectively. But the man was frozel"
 "FrUzen!" muttered Darrow, and whistled.
 .'Yes, and what's more, his little dog, setting by the chair, was froze, too: so when 1 stepped back sudden and hit against him, he tumbled over bang. like cast-iron dog! That got my goati ran!"
 Come with me" ordered Darrow de- cisively.
 They entered the building and ran up the single flight of stairs to the second-story room which the mayor of that term had fitted up as a sort of private office of his own. A sharp chill hung in the railways; rnis in. creased as they neared the executive s office Outside the door sat the door keeper in his armchair. Beside him was a dog. in the attitude of an ami. nal seated on its launches. but lying on it's side. one fore leg sticking straight out. Darrow touched the man and stopped over to peer in his face The attitude was most hfelike; the color was good. A deadly chill ran from DaTrows' finger tips up his arm
 He pushed open the door cautiously and looked in
 ~All right, Burns" said he. 'The atmosphere has become gaseous again We can go in." With which strange remark he entered the room, followed closely, but uncertainty by the oficer

gealed in the smaller veins. and did not. as in more gradual freezing, re- cede to the larger blood-vessels. I'm getting frost bitten myself in here. Let's get outside"
 But Officer Burns heard none of this. As Darrow moved toward the door he crossed himself and bolted Darrow heard his heels clattering on the cement of the corridors. He smiled
 And now the deluge!" he remarked
 The crowds, terrified. inqui5itiye. skeptical. and speculative. gathered Officials swept them out and took pos session. Hallowell and Darrow con ferred earnestly together.
 He has the power to stop heat Vi- brations, you see," Darrow said. That makes him really dangerous. His ac- tivities here are in hne with his other warnings; but he is not ready to go to extremes yet. The city Is yet safe" |"
 "Why?" asked HaIlowen.
 q know it. But he has the power If he gets dangerous we must stop him"
 You are sure you can do it?"
 Sure"
 Then, for Gods sake, doyiti Don't you realize what will happen when news of this gets out, and people un- derstand what it means? Don't you feel your guilt at those mems deaths ?" He struck his hand in the direction of the City Hall.
 "The people will buy a lot of expe- rience, at cost of a little fright and annoyance" replied Percy Darrow carelessly. "Itn do them good. When it's over. they'll come back again and be good As for that bunch in there when you look over those papers I think you'll be inclined to agree with what the religious fanatics will say that 1t was a visitation of God"
 But the old, the sick-thereIl be deaths among them--the responsibility is something fearful"
 Never knew 6 battle fought yet without some loss" observed Darrov.
 Hallowen was staring gt him.
 T don't understand you" said the reporter. You have no heart You are as bad as this Monsieur \, and between you you hold a city in your power-one way or the otheri"
 Well, l rather like being q little god" remarked Darrov
 Hallowell started once more to plead, but Darrow cut him short.
 You are thinking of the present" he said. T am thinking of the future. It's a good thing for people to find out that there's something bigger than they are. or than anything they can make. That fact is the basis of the idea of God. These are getting to be a goddess people" He turned on Hal lowell. his sleepy eyes lighting up. T should be very sorry if had not in- tellect enough and imagination enough to see what this may mean to my kel- low people; and should despise my self If I should let an unrestrained compassion lose to four million people the rare opportunity vouchsafed them"
 He spoke very solemnly. HalIoweIl looked at him puzzled.
 Besides" !" said Darrow whimsIcally.
