CHAPTER XII.

The memory of that tragic moment
strangely enough, was not to live in
Andrea's mind by reason Of the sight
Of the collapse of MacCloster's bulk,
but by what followed Immediately
after. Never could she forget the
sudden stilling of the ululuing and the
instantaneous smile, broadening to a
grin, that dawned on the face of every
native
The black throng backed step by
step before the terrific heat of the
flaming Gaia. Their scorching faces
glistened with sweat, but their eyes
hung greedily on the crumpled, sprawl
ing mass that was all that was left Of
Manchester. In the pleasurable sur
felt Of the moment they were careless
of the fact that the doom of the entire
craal was fixed.
Trevor turned on them in white
rage and with a weil-aimed bullet shot
an assegai from between the legs of q
great hulking brute whose mouth was
sIavering with revolving enjoyment Of
the scene. The blacks face went gray
with fright; his eyes came back With a
snap from their sensual feast. Many
of his companions laughed aloud, but
others only licked thick lips in bestia!
hunger for more slaughter.
"You!" cried Trevor, pressing the
muzzle of his revolver into the CULVER
ing naked stomach of the man he had
frightened. Get your crew together.
Take me home"
Half an hour later Andrea found
herself once more in MacCloster's
boat, but in spite of the fact that all
it's appointments and the crew were
the same with the exception of the one
black who had been killed, it seemed
utterly strange to her eyes, now no
longer glazed by misery. She turned
to Trevor, who had not spoken to her
since first he had joined her In the
Gaia. 1.-The boat is quite different" she
said. "It's as though l saw it for the
first time"
He gave her no answer beyond a
noncommittal grunt, nor did he look
at her. His eyes were fastened far
ahead on the river, tracing out the
swirl Of the current and deep water.
A troubled look came into Andrea's
face; she glanced at him and her lips
Parted twice In the half-smile that

three-go;" then he plunged: "Will
you marry me?"
Here was a game that Andrea knew
from it's infancy to its old age. The
first move on its checker board was
as fixed as it was easy. NO she
said promptly and automatically and
glanced up with a half-bored look that
said: "Your turn to play"

fervently, apparently looking into
space, but in reality taking in her gal

one eye. "You see," he continued. "Tve
come to my senses and begun to get
your point of view. It's still true
that you asked me to bring you, but
it's no less true that you thought you
were just going up for a morning

were in that flying machine it was
good-by to world If I'd told you that,
of course you wouldn't have come"
"Of course" said Andrea, family.
Her heart was aching and inside of
her its pulse was drumming an old ia
miliar childish refrain Of helpless rage.
"He didn't play fair! He didn't play
fair!'
Under the circumstances and ac-
knowledging my fault, l could do no
less than offer to marry you in spite
of your high station in life. | felt that
you might think yourself compromised
to such an extent that even my humble
person would prove some sort of an
amend. It's a great relief to know
that I overestimated the situation all
around"
Andrea realized that the false start
had thrown her out of the normal
stride of the game and she was ready
to clutch at straw. "Why, l hadn't

ment only; then they embraced the
tree-trunk and he began to swarm up
the easy slant. waiting up for me,
dearie?" he whispered.
Andrea suppressed an instructive
impulse to fly before his advance, all
the more terrifying because it was so
deliberate. Her face went white, her
eyes narrowed, but her lips set in a
straight line as she waited, trying her
best to quiet her excited breathing lest
it betray her pitiful agitation. She
measured the distance between the
edge Of the platform and those slowly
sliding hands. Only when they got SO
close that she could see the mist of
fine yellow hair on them did she strike
first at one and then at the other, and
not with the edge Of the cleat, but
with the three jagged nails that pro-
truded from its fiat side.
With q below Of rage Manchester
snatched back his pierced hands, trust
ing to the grip Of his knees. Andrea
clutched the cleat tightly, leaned for
ward and struck him across the side
of the head with all her strength. He
lost his balance and fell. She heard
his body crashing from limb to limb
until It landed with terrific thud on
some platform far below. Up from the
depths came liquid stream of curses;
he could no longer below, he was
whining with the rage that means to
kill.
Andrea sank back and covered in
the corner Of her howell. She was
through; that last blow had drained
her Of all energy and courage, she was
no longer conscious Of desire to live.
Her head rang with incredible sounds.
Hallucination tortured her and even
brought to her longing ears the far
away hum Of Trevor's airpiane motor.
SO vivid was her imagination that the
hum grew louder and louder, as 1t
would have done in reality. and finally
attained staccatO roar. She smiled
wistfully. her face illumined by all the
love Of the White Man which she had
hidden under a mask of flippancy but
which, now that hope was dead, pro-
claimed itself frankly and seemed to
be trying to rock her to comfort and
oblivion.
Suddenly a terrific ripping crash
above her head tore through her numb
ed senses and brought her staggering
to her feet. The whole monster struc-
ture OF the Gaia swayed and bent as
though It had been struck by lorna

with reports like pistol shots and

click-ciicking that could be distinctly

ceased. Presently smoke, pearl-gray
began TO seep through the thatch of
the roof.
Andrea came fully to her senses and
called in clear. high voice I'm acre,
White Man; I'm here, White Man.
She repeated the cry steadily at short
| intervals until he shouted an answer.
Following the sound of his voice, her
eyes caught the CLEAN of his hunting
knife, hacking n way through the
thatch and when, finally, his feet were
thrust through the opening, she seized
and guided them to foothold. In an
other second he was standing before
her. Even in the dim light she could
see that his face was blackened, his
eyebrows, eyelashes and mustache en-
tirely singed, his hair burnt off in
patches. "Ohl White Mani she

(which way to the ground?"
She showed him. He slid down the
branch until he struck the first cleat,
and waited there TO catch her. Come
on, now" he said. "In thirty seconds
whoever's left in this hell-hole will be
baked"
From below them and outside the
Gaia came the ululuing of a thousand
panicstricken voices, Overlain but not
dominated by the believing of Mac
Closter, issuing drunken and impossi-
BILE orders intermingled with horrible
and obscene oaths. AS Trevor and An
drea reached the platform at the main
intersection of the trees branches the
pail of smoke that had been following
close on their heels descended with a
swirl and enveloped them. He turned.
caught up her skirt and threw it over
her head; then he seized her In his
arms, buried his face against her
breast and staggered blindly down the
spiral stairway.
In the van Of the smoke, almost as
though he we're being propelled by 1t,
he stumbled through the exit into the
cool air of night and glare that paled
the face of the full moon. He dropped
Andrea to the ground, stepped over
her and stood face to face with the
raving Manchester On the instant the
giant fell silent. He stared vacantly
for the space of second: then his
ravaged face writhed into such an ex-
preston of sublimated hatred as no
man lives to see twice. Murder wrote
itself large across his features, slow
murder with bare hands for this enc
my who had sent up in smoke and
flame the one beloved earthly posses
sion Of the wreck of a life. With
choking gulp that seemed to rend his
throat he charged, head down, arms
thrown wide, talOns clutching in an
ticipation.
His mouth twisted in a thin smile,
Trevor shot from the hip. The bullet
of the heavy service revolver caught
Manchester in the shoulder and spun
him around three times. Trevor fired
again. The giants body seemed to
waver in the air, then crumpled and
fell sprawling toward the gun, face
down.
you've killed him." sobbed Andrea,
still on her hands and knees.
"In way" said Trevor calmly and
half to himself "He really died years
ago"
