CHAPTER XIII.

Andrea did not awake until Trevor
withdrew his arm, which was when
they were already in sight of their
home landing.
BY the time she reached the camp
she was in no mood to welcome the
astonishing sight of three white men
calmly taking a siesta In Trevor's most
comfortable chairs, their helmets and
dolmans tossed aside and their short
sleeved undershirts unbuttoned at the
neck. The only thing to be discerned
In their favor was that they were all
freshly shaven. 1t did not cheer her
to see that upon catching sight of
them, Trevor's face cleared.
"Who are the interlopers?' she
asked shortly.
His eyebrows went up. "Interlopers,
Andrea Pellor?" he asked with a
smile. Then his face turned grim.
"Will you do what / ask this timer"
he inquired

she said meekly.
"Please slip quietly to your room,
have your tea and bath alone and
dress in your smartest khaki outfit
leggings and all. When you have done
that, please wait till | come"
Andrea could not resist single
shot. 'Yes," she said demurely, "just
for change I'll go and have my tea
and bath-alone."
Trevor ignored the hit. ''G..od girl"
he said. his attention already swervjng
to his snoring guests.
"And you won't tell me who they
are?' asked Andrea. cor don't you

cheeks and her eyes went suddenly

by tremendous effort did she catch
up with them. "Great expense" she

CHAPTER XII.

The memory of that tragic moment,
strangely enough, was not to live in
Andreas 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 shilling of the ululuing and the
instantaneous smils, 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
gllstened 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.

CHAPTER xI.-Continued.

II filed Andrea with a premonition
and brought her desperate courage.
She took off her high-heeIed slippers
and climbed down several rungs Of the
ladder that led to her platform then
seating herself and getting good
knee-grip on the limb, she leaned down
and gradually worked loose the cleat
above and then the next, depositing
each cleat as she removed it In her
room.
NO sooner had she finished, leaving
herself cut Off from easy access to the
outside world but In compensation
having established a substantial OBJ
stacle to sudden assault from below,
than she was aware of the whispering,
wheezy sound Of heavy breathing. I'M
mediately afterward came to her dis
tended nostrils an oyerpowerlng odor
Of gin, nauseatingly sweet and sour at
the same time. She looked down into
the shadowy gloom and saw MacClos-
ter's bulk moving slowly upward, rung
by rung, each movement as deliberate
and repulsive as that of a giant sloth.
Gripping one of the loosened cleats
in her right hand, she knelt on the
edge of the platform and watched
brenthlessly his progress. When he
came to the break in the ladder his
hairy paws CROPPED helplessly for a mo-
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 1t 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
1t berray 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 a below of rage Manchester
snatched back his pierced hands, trust
ing to the grip Of his knees Andrea
rlutched 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
fne corner of her howell. She was

he felt now an aching within him to
guard, not the Honorable Andrea Pei
lor, but this much dearer creature of
his own making, from the harming
touch of tongues as we'll as hands.
He threw up his head as though to

der. he first assured himself that she
was really asleep and then slipped his
arm around her and held her close.

arm around her and held her close
He forgot his burns and bruises, his
fatigue and hunger; he looked back
with exultant pride upon the mael-
strom of emotions that he had ridden
to reach this haven Of his souls peace.
The feverish haste with which he had
dug out the airplane and patched it
up, the white rage in which he had
hurled himself with 1t into the air, the
absolute and marvellous determination
of the steady. unwavering flight that
had carried him straight to MacClos-
ters craal, all became emblems to him
of the power of that which is within
us to rise eternally to superhuman
heights on the wings of little love.
He glanced downward at the fair
head pressed so close to his shoulder
that the wide brim Of his helmet
shaded it as well as his own and let
length of Andrea's figure. She seemed
very small, very young, infinitely
potent. For the first time in their in
tercourse he consciously remembered
who she was and all his bravado in the
face of false values, all his logical in
difference to established forms, fell
from him. He trembled for the things
he had done to, the murder he had
coolly committed on, the person Of the
Honorable Andrea PellorI
She had said that she knew herself
safe with him forever and forever and

The international Zionist Conference
American Delegation Prominent Men to Sail Saturday

{
Justice Louis, d. Brandeis of
the Supreme Court, Honorary
President Of the Zionist Organi-
zation Of America, Judge Julian
w. Mack, of the u. S. Circuit
Court, president of the same or
ganization, Nathan Straus, Mrs.
Mary Fels, Jacob de Haas, Zion
ist executive secretary, Louis
Lipsky, organization secretary,
Prof. Felix Frankfurter, Capt.
Abraham Tulin and David Ro-
senbloom will sail on the lap
land on June 18th to attend the
international Zionist Conference
which convenes in London July
s4th. They are the advance guard
Of an American delegation Of SO
elected at the extraordinary Iii
onist Convention which was held
in New York City on May 9th
and 10th last. The balance of
the party will sail on the S. S.
Finland next Saturday.
The international Zionist con-
ference which will be attended by
large delegations from every
country in Europe, as well, as
delegations from Palestine, Ar
gentine, Australia, Canada and
New Zealand, is the first world
Zionist conference to be held in
six years. It is regarded as one
of the most important gatherings
ever held in Jewish history, since
it will be called upon to deal with
practical questions involving the
preparation of Palestine as
Jewish Homeland in accord with
the San Reno declaration by the
Peace Conference which recog-
nized the Jewish claim to Pales-
tine as its traditional and his
toric homeland, and placed that
country under British mandate,
at the request of the Zionists, for
the specific purpose of establish
ing such a homeland, with an eye
The American Jewish world., 1920-06-11

to its development into an
autonomous commonwealth. The
conference will therefore meet
with the consciousness that the
political aim of Zionism for which
the movement was organized in
1897 has been achieved, in spite
of apparently insuperable obsta-
cles and bitterly persistent oppo-
sition.
The deliberations of the con-
ference will be watched with in
tense interest by millions Of Jews
in the pogrom-haunted countries
of Europe for whom Palestine is
the only means of escape from the
intolerable conditions of persecu-
tion, appropriation and massacre
in which they have lived since the
outbreak of the war. Authentic
reports to the Zionist Organiza-
ton Of America indicate that
hundreds of thousands are pre-
pared to migrate to the new Jew
ish homeland as soon as the nee
essary fornalities, including the
signing Of the treaty by the rep
resentatives of the Ottoman EN-
pire, definitely placing Palestine
under British suzerainty, have
been gotten under way, and ar
rangements have been completed
between the British Government
and The Zionist Organization for
the regulation and absorption of
the impending rnass-migration.
The American delegation is go
ing to the conference with a def
mite program which is both prac-
tical and social. The Zionists
are pledged to create in Palestine
such social conditions as will pro-
tect the many against exploita-
ton by the few, and while due
regard will be given to the safe
guarding of private capital and in
dividua1 initiative, land monopo-
" and the private exploitation
The American Jewish world., 1920-06-11

Of natural resources will be pres.
vented. The basis for the social
program American Zionists hope
to initiate in Palestine leading
toward the development of the
model state dreamed of by
Theador Herzl, the founder Of
the movement, is the famous
Pittsburg program, adopted in
1918 and ratified for the second
time at the recent extraordinary
American Zionist t Convention.
This program provides, among
other things, that in Palestine
there shall be political equality
irrespective Of race, sex or reli-
gion; policy which, with due re-
gard to existing rights, shall tend
to establish the ownership and
control of the land and of all
natural resources and public utili-
ties, by the whole people; that
all land, owned or controlled by
the people, shall be leased on such
conditions as will insure the full
est opportunity for development
and continuity Of possession the
application Of the cooperative
principle in the organization of
all industrial, commercial and
financial undertakings and the
framing Of fiscal policy SO as to
protect the people from the evils
of land speculation and from
every other form of financial op-
preston.
The American delegation is
pledged to the principle of free
immigration, but recognizes that
because Of the unpreparedness Of
the land, it will be necessary to
regulate this immigration so as
to bring into Palestine at the out
set vast labor-army which will
begin the immediate construction
Of harbors, highways, reservoirs,
hydrostatic plants and other vast
public utilities for the 100000
Jews who, it is expected will Ill
timately make that country their
home. One of the first problems
which the American delegation
will present to the conference
will be the establishment of
national board of health with the
America. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1905-current, 1920-08-21
