farinha cakes and rancid piqui were
placed before us in large quantities. 1t
went against the grain to accept these
things. Each present meant something
in return, and our small packs con-
tanned very limited supply Of such
things.
We found the Kalapalos identical in
every respect to the Anauquas. except
that they had words in their vocabulary
peculiar to themselves. In spite of such
differences, both groups seemed to I'M
derstand each other perfectly Their
houses were built in similar fashion,
although this village was double the
size of the one we had Just left. It
contained about II houses. Each es-
tablichment accommodated 30 to 200
persons. The lapalos-although III
custom, habit and appearance the two
tribes were identical-impressed me as
being more friendly than the Anauquas.
Attention Is Embarrassing.
For some reason Aloique did not feel
at case. On arrival he delivered a long
Grafton pitched in high voice. Dur
ing the entire time he never looked any
of his tribesmmen in the eye, but ad-
dressed his remarks to the wind. He
seemed greatly relieved when he had
got it Of his chest. for the then lapsed
into the background, apparently not
wishing to appear in the limelight any
further. His companions. Rapatzi and
Ma5uala behaved very differently. They
went visiting from house to house and
enjoyed themselves immensely.
There was not much chance of my
going far afield as Joao Climaco and my
self were directed to a maloca shortly
after our arrival and never moved from
it until we set cut on our journey next
day.
We got cur baggage safely inside,
piled it up against wall and then sat
ourselves down in front to prevent any
one tamperlng with it.
The undivided attention which we re-
ccived at the hands of the entire tribe
was a trifle embarrassing The women
would roll up my sleeves and examine
my arms with ordinations of sur
prise as they compared the white skin
to their own brown hides. Then pull
ing my shirt open at the neck, they al

precisely the same as If we had been
abandoned in some foreign country
without money to pay our passage
home. We had practically no presents
left to give away, having disposed of
our supply before leaving the malocas
of the Anauquas. We tried vainly to
establish credit by explaining that we
had a good bank account at our own
camp where the Kuluene and the Kulu-
seu joined If only we could get there

helped us to the extent of giving them

perversely at a moment Of all moments
in his life when he really wanted it
most? A woman who presumed to
throw narrow little moral Straitlacings
over an epoch-making daring! He had
thought she was big-but she had been
too small to see the vast reach OF the
thing he had done She had been Ill,
yes. And habit Of tenderness toward
her that he had been unable to quench
had kept him from showing her or
others what he had felt. But the very
weakness which had caused her to col
lapse before an imaginary menace had
been a sign to him that he must not
let mere affection blind him to her
He was dealing with mightier things
than affection.
Phyllis Is all right" he responded to
Van Wrinkles question, with the quiet
GOODNESS that was becoming his steady
possession in moments when he was
not alone. 1t was only when he was
not keyed to meet his world single
handed, as he was meeting it, that he
felt the intoxicating phase Of his power.
But he felt called upon to explain.
''Her troubles are almost as temporary
as Carols"
oh" returned Van Wrinkle, "are
they? I mean. are Carols temporary"
well, wasn't she out and around the
next day after her little upset here?
Isn't she in here every day since, with
her nose in bag after her daily ration
of sensations? These women are nu-
morous creatures: you'd think their
thing they're painting for the next"
oh" said Van Wrinkle, then you'd
say that-Carol has recovered"
well. dammit!-what do you think?"
81? Oh, don't know. / just wonder
if-if some of the things you see in her
face nowadays-some of the things you
see her do. and hear her Say-some of
the ways she treats young John-some
of the ways she has, as you say, of
coming in here every day to put her
head in the bag-I wonder II they
aren't ScarS!"
"What?" The mans words brought
the face of Carol Gould up before
Brainard's eyes as he had not seen 1t
in the actual for weeks. Was the girl
changed? But suddenly he was seeing
in place of hers the face of Phyllis
Norman-and the throb he had tried
to still at thought of her, the stir he
called tenderness and rebelled against
as habit. ran through him like throb
of his blood. This trick of mental
VISION was becoming naDlIudl WIFI NlU, ,

caprice and its penalty written in her
face, fitted across and across the face
Of Phyllis Norman like a symbol of its
own look of unforgiving reproach!
Fanciful? Yes. Inconsistent? Was it
not-for a man to whom such reproach
had become a matter of angry rather
than wounded remembrance?
"Of course" Van Wrinkle was going
on, I'm mere onlooker. How can
be anything else? But you know. I
saw that smart little feminine sweet
meat. as I think of her-I saw her
snatch look at life-at what you call
Liquid Life-tempering with real things

viouS to normal people. That was con-
sistent enough with the idea that his
mind was partly clouded. But the thing
contained q special form of irritation

You know what they are seeing,

noyance. Where have you been?"

Look here, Van, are you trying to be

not. Certainly not. Let me see-oh
yes. my hardest job haven't mentioned

mind If I try to keep my head?"
IT don't care what you do with your
head!" Brainard found relief N a
laugh. Rip Van Wrinkle was proving an
ingenious and useful helper In the
location department" as the growing
jargon of the new craft had it.
How is Phyl1is?" asked Van Wrinkle
abruptly.
Again Brainard was irritated. The
man persisted In this familiarity in
which he had been at first INDUCED
because of his misfortune. But his
question irked Brainard for a more
positive reason now. Phyllis was re-
covering from her long illness; every
body knew that. But there were those.
Van Wrinkle among them, who seemed
to feel that this should be his,
Brainard's, chief concern. He was
under no obligation to explain to them
but Phyllis was not his chief concern.
She had turned against him away back
when she had first learned of what he
was doing-jealous of his great interest
as he had told her. critical, censorious.
He had lost his feeling that she must
share with Kim his successes and
triumphs. What man would not lose

could have seized the other and choked
him for his sly harping on the single
chord.
But Van Wrinkle was unstopped. He
seemed to drift ON without conscious
ness of Brainard'S resentment
Il suppose, if we really Savored the
things of everyday life about us they'd
grow too poignant in an anesthetic at

Brainard replied Coldly:

'I shall hardly be married till Miss
Norman Is we'll"
Van Wrinkle looked out the window
beside him again.

once more. II don't wonder you feel
like sort ola sort Of god. Brainard!'
This was a less unwelcome sugges-
ton at least. After all, this chap was
only a poor, half-crazed innocent.
Brainard laughed.

has to come to you for what they want.
But don't forget-you don't forget, do
you?-that power Is only one attribute

moment his established quarters, was
filled with men and women who were
either working for him or who had pur-
chased the privilege Of sitting in his
projection rooms for what they called
his first runs. Patrons and employees
alike were his TOOLS Alike they hocked
to him-men and women who would
see and handle and experience! The
police guarded his doors!
Power! He had tried to discount 1t

Stimulants in his blood. He knew he
was drunk with the sense OF achieve
ment, of monopoly, of holding suddenly
! in his hand the worlds leaSh--a leash
| such as no man had ever held before!
What were mere military conquerors to
him who held humanity by the cords
of its desires?
What was the command OF mere
marching hosts to the command OF the
passions of peoples-peoples OF every
/ language and every cline! What were
guns, gases, liquid fire-liquid death!-
to Liquid Life-this liquid life he could
give to their lips or withhold at will!
Down there in the street they were
already striving to reach the cup-hls
cup. And he had yet offered them a
mere diluted drink! What would be
the fame of appetite as knowledge CT
the flavor spread? The world also
would presently be drunk! And mad
with a craving thirst that would send
it to him with its treasures to buy
more and more! And he, standing here
immune, because of this other, might1er
thing, distilled for him alone!
The door of his room opened behind
him and the Van Wrinkle came to his
side.
"Are you expecting Mortimer and
Ballard of Complete Illusions? Your
secretary said" he began.
Brainard turned on him. "Yesl I'm
expecting them! OF course, I'm expect
ing them! He whirled and pointed
down to the street below. why
wouldn't expect them?"
well, they just phoned- Say, I
should think you might be expecting
them!" The Man of Mystery. whose
own little affair, which he now called
his reincarnation. had paled to in
significance in the sweep Of greater
things, stared down at the throng
surging before the little city's long the.
alter front "Well, Say!" he exclaimed
softly.
No phrase from any living lips would
have been adequate to the demand OF
Radley Brainard's emotions at that mo-
ment, but this man might have been
looking at some interesting phase Of the
habits of flies on the window screen!
Brainard had kept the fellow here orig
inally to study into his case. But the
rush of events had made every one lose
sight of his case. He had seemed, too,
more than willing to drop into an in
conspicuous place in the growing or
ganization. But Brainard had been
vaguely aware sometimes that he did
not react nominally to stimuli-that he
seemed to become less and less alive to
