BEGIN HERE TO-DAY
 Martin Hell, handsome young
 university graduate in engineer
 ing, was almost starving ale
 though he had become swimming
 instructor at an Austrian lake
 resort after he lost his job when
 the plant in which he was eni-
 pl0yed was merged. He received
 lees than Q third of Q schiliing
 for each lesson he gave Herr
 BtrndPs patrons and there had
 been so much rain that there
 were no bathcrs. He went to the
 posf0nice twice daily for letter
 he expected from Herr Meyer, a
 patent agent, regarding 9 non.
 fnfammable movie film he had
 invented. Martin and May Yys- ssenhop, whose father was weal-
 thy, fell deeply in love and be.
 came engaged. When Herr Lys-
 senhop decided suddenly to leave,
 May urged Martin to speak to her
 father. He did, but when his
 prospectiye father-in.law heard
 that Martin had placed his in-
 ventiOn i'm the hands of a virtual
 stranger, he called Martin an
 idiot and forbade May to see him
 any more. After the Lyssenhops
 loft, the weather was particularly
 bad. Martin, at intervals of four
 days, went to g restaurant, de.
 vOured the table d'hOte dinner
 rayenously, and then said he had
 forgotten his purse. The pro.
 prietor warned Vesi, the waitress
 not to serve him again until he
 paid. Martins plight was aggra-
 vated by very sore arm, which
 he had torn on 8 rusty nail.
 Frau Mayreder, Q stout matrOn,
 whose tender glances annoyed
 Martin, sensed Martins troubles
 and forced her fat husband and
 her child to take lessons fin the
 chilly water so they could invite
 him to dinner.

 INSTALLMENT 25
 Martin went home, and the first thing he did was to put a fresh bandage round his infiamed arm. It had been painful the whole even ing, for during the Mayreder's swimming lesson the bandage had become sodden with water and pressed painfully on the throbbing flesh. He felt sick when he even thought of his elbow. "A nice bus lness," he said with severity as he looked at the wound which though healed had an unhealthy bluish red and swollen appearance. His right hand was hot and numbed. He was taken with such 8 violent T, ., I d ?, a. rf3t fhot For |, y,,oy,oont oy. two he gave way to 1t like 8 tree before a storm. He let things take their course. It was all matter of Everything seemed remote and strange.
 He crept into bed. The bed clothes were always a little damp. for the lake lapped under the floor boards. Martin could not get as far as putting out the lamp. It seemed to him, too, that the sides of the hut were malicious and hos tile and all the knots in the wood were eyes. Then he was surprised to find that he was two people Gone of them observed that he must now be in a fever). After this he found himself in an engine room where the heat was terrific. Tho men were all aglow with heat. He could feel how their backs and shoulders burned, and he took off his shirt. One of the men got his arms caught in the driving belt. It was horrible. The man was in agony.
 eff it's all up with the chief en- gineer, May will have to marry Herr Wucherpfennig," said Herr They dragged Martin put of the shed, for it was his arm that had been torn off. Somebody picked it up out of the sawdust and came running after him with it. The whole bed was full of sawdust, and Martin tossed restlessly in dry rustling heaps of 1t. I've had of this, thought Martin. It's time to wake up, and he did so.
 He felt gingerly about on the table for water, but he could find none. So he went into the kitchen to his mother. His mother sat on the coal scuttle grinding pepper in the pepper mill. It was very hot in the kitchen too, and the pepper made him smart. Martin got on his bicycle that his mother had re- deemed from the pawnshop and rode upon it into the Dolomites. The Dolomites were very steep but made of a kind of papier-mache that constantly gave way. Boom boo-boo went the pestle and mor- tar. It was almost impossible to get twelve hundred meters up in these May might stand long enough with the stop-watch and heckon him on. The pestle and
