lrT'W'f' ulllll llllllll ! Pavel dared not move. He waited tive, ten minutes. Then one knock, a pause, three rapid knocks. The door opened and Pavel walked in. Deep inside, the otherwise empty house was filled with peasants. They were armed with guns supplied by Rus- sian patriots. There was little talk- ing. Silence was safety. Each one took orders and left. Pavel looked at the determined faces of the men gathered. He knew them all. His friends. Yasha, with the round belly and bald headg Ivan, flashing eyes, black mustaches. Even Sokol, the slight one, tenorvoiced, shifting eyes. was giving himself to the Tsar. Pavel shook their hands one by one and each smiled as if to say. So, I go. Wlmrlt does it matter? Ivan ven- tured to say goodbye as his hand clasped Pavel's. Hands meeting, hands that had guided ploughs through neighboring lields. Ivan turned, walked up as one of the of- ficers called Paval. Paval, we work together tonight. He pulled his mustaches. Glanced around the room. Come, he said. Pavel crossed himself, took a last look at his friends, and both went out. Outside Ivan explained. We set tire to the warehouse at the end of the market street. It will be a sign to the others to set fire to other ware- houses and E Fire? Pa- v el d i d not u n d e r - stand. Fire. He looked at Ivan puzzled. l llllllllllill 'E' f l ' fwfm: --fin! ,lg 'iff' ' .' .4-'fi'-.Y7'I! I ,.'..:.

You are right, Ivan. You lead the way. The two men stalked silently to- ward the market street. Clouds blot- ted out the moon and starsg the sky was black. It hid them in the folds of its great cloak. They groped un- certainly. But each step brought them nearer their goal. Ivan stopped.- Pavel, have you the torches? Are you ready? Yes, Ivan,H Pavel gasped at the thought of the danger. Do we go now? Soon, Pavel, soon. We must be successful. All depends on us. Wznit. The warehouse is guarded. See! One, two three soldiers around the fire. Shoot well, Pavel, for Russia . . and me. Steady! Ready! Fire! Pavel fired, loaded again, fired, loaded, fired. Two men fell, the third leaped for shelter and returned the shots. Ivan raced to the hre. Lit his torch. Ran toward the ware- house. A shot! Ivan fell. Pavel could see Ivan's form fall to the ground. Then he saw Ivan's torch. There it was . . . in his right hand. He could see the warm blood coursing down Ivan's wrists. The arm still moving, moving .... He was conscious of the inner re- cesses of his being. A flaming hope of radiant ecstacy invaded him. Pavel crawled a few yards. Strug- gled to one knee beside the fallen Ivan. Finally, we win! He shouted and flung his torch into the ware- house. I5

World Fairs - I939 JEAN WIENER-WILLIAM SCHWARZ PON a marshy, bleak tract of land, which formerly served the purpose of a dumping ground, the inightest city of today has set out to fullill a vision to the extent of realization. Amidst these sectors of ash heaps, New York City has laid plans for the grandeur and splendor of a fair of the world during the year of 1959. It will be a fair which will relate a tale for every man, every- where, because of its reviewing of to- morrow in relation to today. New York will secure an inveslment in good will which will be invaluable to industry and the security of the country. However, most of us do not realize or understand the purpose, signifi- cance, and plans of the Fair. Let us, therefore, delve into some of these as- pects in detail. The theme of the New York XVorld's Fair is to represent the Xvorld of Tomorrow, and will show the necessity of a modern life in unity. The exposition wonders will he dom- inated by the two Theme Centre structuresg the Perisphere, a two- hundred foot, eighteen story globe, seemingly supported by fountain spray, which houses an immense circular theatre for display pointing the high- road to Tomorrow, and the Trylon, a seven-hundred foot, fifty story, three- sided needle. The purpose behind the entire work is to promote international relationships, and to emphasize the interrelationship of all men's inter- ests. So far, sixty-two nations and the League of Nations have accepted invitations to the exposition, and the entire civilized world is expected to participate. The Fair is divided into fourteen major sections, each one significant to modern life. These zones will radiate from the Theme Centre. They are: Government, Production, Transporta- I7
