She found Miss Brainard waitis for her, and they interviewed Dr. %nrmkha ‘who had seen Radley. The physician shrugged in answer to their anxious questions. “Overwork,” he said briefly, “and trying to keep up on booze.” He looked curiously at Phyllis. “Are you— his sister?” he asked. Miss Brainard relieved her of the necessity of explaining. “I'm his aunt.” she said. “You can tell me anything you like.” “Well,” said the doctor, smiling slightly, “I'll tell you that if I had any influence with him, I'd get him to let down. He'll crash.” “Then he—hasn't broken down now?” asked Phyllis. “No—not broken down. He was sit- ting up when I saw him. Said he would be at his desk at noon.” He was. But after hearing the story of the attempt to bomb his building, he had only strength enough to direct Rex Welling to use the multiple con- denser in an effort to pick up and follow the plane which had dropped the explosive. Then he staggered back | to his bed and sleep. The next day he denied himself to everybody again; but on the next he was receiving people as usual. And Phyllis was relieved, till afternoon, when a newspaper had a report spread all over its first page of the suicide in a San Francisco hotel of a well known air pilot, who was belicved to hlvc been the min who had “tried to ge! Brainard!” The supposition was bnsed upon marked maps found in the man’s room. But the paper said there was “no clue to the reason for self-de- struction.” Phyllis gazed at that last line in hor- ror. No clue! When she saw Brainard again, he did not refer to the matter and she could not. He looked like a sick man now. But he told her he was not ill; that he had been merely worn out. He ad- mitted that he had been a fool. Now, he merely spent some hours of each day closeted in his studio—experiment- ing. He said he was perfecting a method of projecting spectacular scenes on large scale; and he had taken over a great tract of beach land on which hundreds of men erected a tremendous new outdoor theater almost in a day. There Brainard intended to set up shows that would bring great panoramas before the eye. But meanwhile events swept on at a pace that. outran comprehension. First the theaters began io run -midnight showings of the Vicarion's products. These were crowded, and people still de- | manded more. The shows became con- ' tinuous, day and night—with no cessa- tion except for moments to change| theater crews. And all over the coun- try showmen followed suit. With a large part of the old Complete Illusions Stu- dios now devoted to the task, Brainard was able to furnish them something to | show. And no interest had ever so set | fire to the world. National pastimes might have drawn their hundreds of thousands; but—base ball was dead now. lurderous bull-fighting, chariot-racing to the death, gladiatorial combgt, all | were eclipsed! Show places were out- numbering groceries, churches, schools. Trade was at a standstill, ministers were without congregations, teachers were without pupils. No one even talked of controlling the Vicarion now. Everybody #tried to see all he could of all that most stirred his senses. No epidemic couid have so wept away nor- mal conditions. In industry, capital drew back sud- denly in panic. There was no crash on 'Change; men simply deserted the stock marget and the wheat pit for a mightier entertainment—in which they were but spectators! All business, not connected with vicarious dwindled almost out of sight. body cared. Merchants, clerks and cus- tomers alike were afraid of losing some experience offered them that could not be regained; or panted to sate an ap- petite mounting into a disease. Hcmes were neglected, lawns, streets. Men ans women began to forget the very need for presentability. They were not in- terested in living—except by proxy. It was incredible, impossible, incom- prehendible! Yet it was true, and but too easy to understand. Phyllis felt the tremendous suction of the current. It was not to be resisted. It was like the proverbial rapids leading to the falls; sensation, And no- loud warnings, and were first silenced, then themsglves swept into the amazing vortex. Men could 1ot neglect business, and careers, and plans, and ambitfons, and npponunmu, and duties, merely to see and hear history! But men did! It was history stripped to the buff— then flayed!- Far more than impossi- ble for men_to resist., The inside story of mankind and womankind in flesh and blood, as real as breakfast, as com- pelling as the need of light! People surrendered to their new de- sire as men have surrendered to opium —1lying down to it in deliberate substitu- tion of its rewards for all others. No one seemed to think. One by one the newspapers ceased to come out. The last one Phyllis saw said that the race seemed to have lived its life and be sit- ting down to review, like an old man drifting into his dotage. Uproars were anticipated but did not come. Pub- lic disturbances became rare. Reople snatched at food and rest, that they might see and hear and feel again. No one argucd beyond today. Men worked only to convey the materials of their passion. It -could not last—but day after day it did, and the paralysis of everyday living grew. Only neglected little children seemed alive to today's air and dirt. Some of them sickened and died. The food -supply became a probiem, but nobody tried to settle it, except for an hour at a time. Of course there were a few who clung to the pursuits of necessity—the very poor and the very sane. They kept some babies from starving and some of the sick from dying of complete neglect. Phyllis found work to do—so much that she lost ac- count of time. There was no Sabbath's pause to mark the week. Periodic rhythms of industry went awry, then ceased.
