was not the body of a time-server.
Alan's sole word of comfort came back
to her. Il never thought the old Rock
would ever loom so big" What force
had done this thing to Gerry? She felt
pang, half envy, half remorse. II
she had been wise, less than that, II
she had been merely sage. could she
not have saved Gerry to himself and
spared her faith the test of the three
long years lost out Of their youth?
Gerry stood erect by the door, one
hand still holding the knob. Why was
he waiting? Alix's raised hand went
slowly out to him in welcome but he
did not move. She smiled at him but
his eyes remained steadfast and grave.
A lump rose in Alix' throat and then
as pride came to her aid, flare OF
color showed in her cheeks. Her lips
opened. What could she say to hurt
him enough, to pay him back for this
added, unjust rebuff? She knew SC
little about this new Gerry. How could
she wound him?

Humorists long have made the mys-
terious inhabitants of Mars the OBJ
jects of cartoon and quip, but in lee
ture recently, Prof. s. l. Boothroyd
of the department of astronomy in the
University Of Washington expressed
pity for the plight of those who live
on the planet nearest the earth.
Study convinces US that there ls
intelligent reason on Mars" said Pro
fessor Boothroyd, in an address which
was illustrated by astronomical draw
ings and photographs. THE canals
of Mars are not, as some people think,
filed with water and cut like the
Panama, Suez or Erie canals, but
merely are called canals because they
are straight. Yet the fact that vegeta'
ton on Mars moves south at one sea
son, bearing it's necessary moisture
and then moves directly north over
the same path, makes inevitable the
conclusion that there is intelligent dl'
rection behind this.
Mars evidently is an old planet
It's water is rapidly disappearing; II
is dying of thirst. Let us think with
pity of the people perhaps like our
selves-who are trying desperately 70

Professor Boothroyd expressed the
opinion that the earth some day will
"die of thirst" as Mars is dying, be
ing unable to retain its moisture.

Even as Gerry picked his way back
to the waiting cab he felt Red Hill
reaching out for him, drawing him.
And during the long, slow drive to the
quay he learned that he had passed the
crossroads that had given so long a
pause to his troubled soul. The Bar.

left him. There was but one road-the
road back-and it was open. He wrote
his cable to Alix with a firm hand.
The freighter reached quarantine
after a quiet voyage twelve hours
ahead of time and just at sundOwn.
A tug hurried down the bay to tell
them their berth was not ready. The
freighter was forced to anchor at the
mouth of the narrows. Gerry watched
the lights spring out from the shadowy
shores. They beckoned him to familiar
scenes. Staten Island had been to his
boyhood an undiscovered land and the
scene Of his first wanderings. Bay
shore he knew through constant pass
ing by. In the sky beyond 1t, hung the
glow of the summer city, here and
there pierced with the brighter fame
of some grotesQue monstrOsity.
Up the bay the dark waters forked
into two bands that lost themselves in
sea and sky Of twinkling lights. He
could just determine the sweeping arch
of Brooklyn bridge and the presence OF
more than one new Tower of Babel

of his native city and made him feel

But from all the myriad lesser lights
his eyes turned gratefully to the high
held torch of Liberty. Beneath it, the
familiar, tilted diadem, the shadowy
folds draping the outstanding pose
the strength and steadfastness and the
titanic grandeur of the statue, carried
their message to him as never before
1t became to him what its creator had
conceived, an emblem, and the myriad
little waves of the bay, rushing to flinq
