A crown, aglow with jewels nothing less must satisfy her now. The sermon over, the hymn sung, and amid the pealing of the organ, as it played the worshipers down the aisles, our four girls met. They knew each other's determination. The next thing to do was to go to Sunday-school.
We passed a house with its hundred-foot oval windows all aglow with light. Music floated out a distant blare of sounds, and the ribald laughter of giant voices. I had seen no women among these giants of the island. But now a huge face was at one of the ovals. A dissolute, painted woman of Earth, staring out at Polter as he passed.

"Is that the one?" he asked of his companion, after awakening him, and pointing to the forest-crowned land. "How should I know?" answered Bullen, sleepily. "They all look alike from this distance."

The girl watched him, fascinated. He scrambled over to the tumbler, tested it with heavy antennæ; then, ardent and impatient, beat against the glass with muscular wings that clattered in the silence.
