CHAPTER NXXIII
Five Years Later

TONG before daybreak that morning the
II thriving village Of Settlement Cliffs.
capital and market town of the New Hope
Colony. was awake and astir.
For the great festival day was at hand
the fifth anniversary of the founding OF
the colony, to be celebrated by the arrival
of the last Merucaans from the depths of
the Abyss.
The old caves now abandoned save for
grain, fruit and fish storehouses were closed
and silent. No labor was going forward
there. The nets hung dry. From the forges
smithies and workshops along the river
bank at the rapids arose no sounds or the
accustomed industry.
The road and bridge builders were idle
and from the farms now dotting the rich
brule across the river-each snug stone
house. tiled with red or green standing
among it's crops and growing orchards-the
Folk were coming in to town for the feast
day.
The broad wooden trestle-bridge across
the New Hope echoed with hollow verbera
tions beneath the measured tread OF two
and four OK teams hauling creaking wains
heaped high with meats, fruits. casks OF
cider. generous wines. and all the richness
Of that virgin SOIL.
On the summer morning air rose Laughter
| from the youths and madens coming In
| afoot. Sounded the cries Of the teamsters
| the barking of dogs the mingled murmui
| of speech-Engish speech again; and the
| fresh wind bearing away fine. colder
| dust from the long roads. swayed the palm
| tons and the fern trees with gentle and
| caressing touch.
All up and down the broad. well-pavet
street of the vllage-a street lined will
stone cottages. bordered with luxurian
tropic gardens and branches into dozer
| smaller thoroughfares-a happy throng wa!
| idling
We'll clad in plain yet substantial weave!
| from the e-festooned workshops below
| the cliff, abundantly fed, vigorous ant
| strong, not one showed sickness or de
| form,ty such as had scourged the human
| race in the old evil days of long ago.

Demand for Coal
Heavy, but Good
Supply is in Bins

The change in weather, bringing
on zero and below temperatures, has
caused an enormous demand for coal,
but dealers assert that there is no
possibility of fuel famine in Omaha,
unless the cold weather should
quickly be followed by another
storm. something that is not antici-
pated They assert that right now
the supply on hand is sufficient to
run the city at least two weeks in
the event that shipments should not
be received in the meantime.
The supply of coal on hand refers
to that for domestic purposes. The
poorer grades used in steam heat
ing plants continue low, as is always
the case in winter, it coming from the
mines daily. OF this there is the nor
