Again she saw_ g Macedonian ‘phalanx in battle ordes of unknown naked savages. She saw what had once been a man taken from Calcutta’s Black Hole. She heard the Confederates yell at Antle- lining out through the blue of a Union soldier's coat! And she lay in her bed staring, sleepless, with every fiber in her body shaking, on a night after she had looked into a Russian prison! People could not write or converse sanely about the Vicarion; they gave up trying. They gave up shaking their heads in amagement or apprehension.

Every day that the girl tra- versed the streets she saw the spread of Brainard's activities. Building after building was taken over, at any cost, at every inconvenience to other inter- ests. The fire which destroyed that block of studios, once belonging to Com- plete Illusions, but bought for Brainard, did not even delay his expansion.

It was said that the former members of Complete Illu- sions Incorporated had schemed, con- spired, fought, bey crazed efforts to too, that Brainard had simply re- corded their conspirings and their weep- and held them ready to show in public when he might choose.

The leaders in the movement became curiously unen- thusiastic. A mob demolished a trolley car that one evening in its midst before doors of the Palals Royale and blocked free passage to the entrance.

But people began to pay little ate tention to the newspapers. Magazine and book sales almost ceased. There was no time to read. What with morning matinees in the theaters and with more and more managers opening multiple-unit rooms for the private accommodation of people who did not desire publicity on the affairs they wished to rehearse, nobody had time for anything else. Of course there' were furious arraignments nothing was recorded that he did not permit to be recorded. But some of the people who criticized him most | petitors were among those to avail themselves of his tempting service. Extfavagant sums were doubtless paid for special privilege—perhaps to suppress special privilege! Phyllis grew sick over whispered reports that came to her, and marveled at the extent to which the thing had gone. She began first naively to doubt that Radley actually handled the mere physical detail of issuing all the permits credited to him—then she knew it was impos- leble. and was comforted by the cer- tainty that half at least of the stories she heard were untrue. When she asked him, in one of the now rare opportunities to ask him anything, he laughed and shrugged, and offered to set a condenser up for her in her own home where she could check up on any of his activities she desired. He showed her a new machine he was making in which 50 records could be made at once, all portions of aue, or all of separate events. He was quite as indifferent to per- sonal danger as ever, it appeared. He had the Bonmar surrounded with a battery of powerful lights that burned all night of every night, and the cur- rent for which, he said, was from a dozen different circuits, so that it could not be cut off by accident or design without elaborate preparations. The purpose was obvious. It was ad- vertised of him that he never went any- where out of the light; and the infer- ence would have needed no pointing, even if she had not heard him tell of reasons for believing himself pro- . Possibilities of killing him subtly or at long distance were pub- licly discussed, and reports were monote onously recurrent that it had been at- tempted by one ingenious method -or another. But he only laughed at these stories also. Nevertheless, the change she had seen in him went on. His o power was not more plainly written in his eyes than the growing ruthlessness of its use. Yet there was Sometimes, of himsel d she seemed to feel that he was these ns 1. %‘g < 15 to ‘the dogen! Florida oranges give }; more juice—a dozen Floridas are the “juice equals” of fifteen others!
