"This is the Fifth Sign: The land shall be criss-crossed by a giant spider's web." The Indian stopped, and glanced for a second upward at the telephone and electric lines that flashed past along- side the highway. "This is the Sixth Sign: The land shall be criss-crossed with rivers of stone that make pictures in the sun." The Indian paused again to let Young puzzle over the meaning of his words. Suddenly, he understood, for he was seeing it right in front of him: The concrete road stretched ahead. and in the distance, the shim- mering heat waves produced a mirage, an image of the road itself just above the surface. The Indian nodded and went on. "This is the Seventh Sign—and it is the first that is yet to come: You will hear of the sea turning black, and many living things dying because of it. “This is the Eighth Sign: You will see many youth, who will wear their hair long like my people, come and join the tribal nations to learn of their ways and wisdom. “And this is the Ninth and last Sign: You will hear of a dwelling-house in the heavens, above the Earth, that shall fall with a great crash, It will appear as a Blue Star. Very soon after this, the ceremonies of my people will cease. “These are the Signs that great destruction is coming. The world shall rock to and fro. The white men will battle against other peoples in other lands—with those who possessed the first light of wisdom. Terrible will be the result. There will be many columns of smoke and fire such as White Feather has seen the white man make in the deserts not far from here." Young immedi- ately knew he meant the atomic bomb tests. "Only those which come will cause disease and a great dying. Many of my people, understanding the prophecies, shall be safe. Those who stay and live in the places of my people shall also be safe. There will then be much to rebuild. And soon—very soon afterward—Pahana will retum. He will bring with him the dawn of the Fifth World. He shall plant the seeds of his wisdom in their hearts. Even now the seeds are being planted. These shall smooth the way to the Emergence, into the Fifth World. "But White Feather shal! not see it. I am old and dying. You- perhaps you will see it. In time, in time..." :- The old Indian's voice faded, and then went silent. They had arrived at his destination, and he pointed to the corner where he wanted to get off. Young stopped the car, let the old Indian out, and watched him slowly disappear down the street. Then Young continued on his trip—he never saw the old man again.
