One had a long white beard & was covered with a thin coating of what looked like dust. A sea-spider had spun its web across his closed mouth*. The other, dark & saturnine, crouched on top of a huge pile of brilliantly colored magazines of all shapes & sizes. There seemed to be very few of any one kind. Another spider had bound up his check book in a mass of cobwebs.** "I don't suppose he ever uses it," thot Alicia. "Oh," she said suddenly, "What is that?" Rap turned impatiently to the window.

Alicia stared out of the window in utter bewilderment (copyrite Alicia). Above them arched a dome of crimson vapor, on which rested the sea of tears. Beneath lay a wild green land of crags & forests, lit by the glow of the red dome. Consequently, everything seemed black. "How in the name of Williamson can this happen?" she asked Rap.

Drat it all - even Verne didn't try that!" ___________________________________ *T O'Conor Sloane of the Old Amazing - who would've reprinted Dickens if he thot he could get away with it.... **Hugo "2¢-a-word" Gernsback of the many Wonders.
