And Bob gets the second sur- prise of hii expedition â€" the cook he had hired sight unseen also turns ou*. to be a woman. He now hat a new problem on his hands. CHAPTEK IV Zachary "Hades" Jones came to life first. While the other •» three in his purty still stared, he barked. • "A squaw! Looky thar. it's a f squaw '." He wa,~ stating an obvious fact not for its information, but to convey tlie contempt he felt. The old mar. positively glared at the ^ red girl. Hollimac was grinning broadly. And all a' once Bob Bany saw the funny side of it to. He laugh- ed heartily. "That makes twice!'" ho admit- ted. "First a partner, then a cook. Miss Lane, will those clothes you bought the cook fit her?" The whole party laughed then, and Bob was quick to apologize. "Oh, I'm sorry, uh â€" Honey â€" wbat'd you say your name is? Honey Bee? We were not laugh- ing at you, but at ourselves. You sec, we expected a male cook, a man." "I cook thee white man's food," she repeated. "I cook it bette- than thee white man's woman." She looked at Mary Melissa. "What'll we do?" interrupted Hades Jones. "Cain't take no danged squaw for no cook !" But Bob felt that Honey Bee needn't be insulted any more by rude whites, himselE included. He apologired again. "Sure, sure, come on tonigiit > anyway. Honey Bee, and cook * supper and breakfast for u.s. We'll -still be skirting the Indian country, and you can ride home tomorrow and send us a man. VJl • pay you. It's all right." Honey Bee Girl. The name wys singularly appropriate. Bob ad- l mitted. She was quick of motion ♦ . like a wild thing, sweetly pretty. She said she was 19 years of sge- She spoke fairly good Knglish. She rode her horse with surpris- ing grace and ease. * « t * Sting of A Snub "You say you have been to a . white school?" Mary Melissa as\- ed, somewhat formally. The In- dian merely nodded. * "Where? Where is the school?" , "Phoenix," Honey Bee .said. But she spurred her hoi-sc, then. She had tolerated Mary Melissa rid- ing beside her, somewhat in the rear of the others, but now she did a surprising thing. She gal- loped the few yards to catch up with Bob Barry, and reined in her horse to walk beside his, nevtr loi>king back. Mary Melissa, alone, blu^hed furiously in spite of herself. It was something she hadn't felt in years, the sting of a conscious, onibroidered sntib. People didn't snub the l.anes. Not even in New- York, or .Atlantic I'ity, or Miami. The l.anes! Mary Melissa l.ane';; family ai'.d wealth dated ba'-k to- Suddoniy the sheer oddity of the situation dominated her thoughts. After all, what is aris- tocracy? This arid desert land was Indian country. Maybe a cook was of low social caste in Manhattan, but cooking is a fundamental thing out west, in the outdoors. -And â€" now that she thought back â€" Mary Melissa realized that she had been a bit patronizing, at least in her tone. She decided to forget the incident. The supper that night turned out to be perfect. With scant ut- ensils, an outdoor fire, and a lim- ited stock of supplies. Honey Bee quickly fed them generously and well. She even found time to dis- appear up a canyon evidently wat- ered by an under-surface stream, and there pick a quantity of the odd plant called miner's lettuce, an unexpectedly delicious salad which she dressed with the rich brown juice of fried ham. It touched the men's appetites great- ly. "Nothin' but a Indian eouida done that." approved Hollimun. picking his teeth, but Hades Joaes snorted. e c • It Looks Ghostly That first night wus unevent- ful. 'Lis.sa slept soundly, despite her saddle soreness, and the party was movi/ig again at dawn. Cac- tus and brush forced them to ride single file most of this day. so that, relatively, conveisatioii was impossible, but interest heighten- ed when they finally made camp within sight of thclf goal. They were near the foot of the great Castle cliff. It loomed impressive- ly in the sunset glow. After supper, Bo'o studied the Castle outlines with his field gla-sses, although he could see but little in the twilight. "It's about (iOO feet, straight up." he told Mary Melissa. "No, no quite sti'uight up, but nearly so. And you'll note the cliff cap above has a slight overhang. Centmies oC erosion have cut back the softer under-slrata, where the Castia stand."." "Why is it called Defiance, Dr. Barry?'' "Becau.se it ha.s denied all ef- forts to e.tplore it, and probably was impregnable as a fort when occupied. One archaeologist, from the State University, did manage to climb part way up, chiseling toe holds and using ropes. Bui even he slipped on the down trip and broke his leg. And until now nobody has appropriated money for a "real effort at it." Mary Melissa started intentiy upwai'd. Fast dying shadows of day seemed to create life in the old ruin. "Looks ghostly," she ventured. "It is. There's a wealth of ler end about the place. Miss Ijine. Many good yarns; some fact, maybe. These dwellings were ab- andoned befoie Columbus sailed. We don't know why." "Goodne.ss!" breathed the white girl. "It's fa.scinating. "Yes!" "Maybe the Indians drove them away. But where? " "Can't say. 'I'here are Indian legends' about' it too, bun they don't help much.'' n * * To Climb tbe Cliff Ne.xt dawn found Bob Barry impatient to visit Defiance Castle. Ouring the night he had evolved a new plan.

"I have a bunch I can make a preliminary exploration i h i .i morning, Holliman," th« young scientist beamed. "Let's take a long rope â€" say 300 feet of tlie one-in£h stuffâ€" and ride around to the top of this cliff." Holliman looked at his bcss. "What you gonna do?" he de- manficd. ".N'ever mind now. Maybe noth- ing. Let's see if we can get to the top of that cliff." They could, by riding two miles south and cutting back and up on a zigzag, rocky course, then climb- ing through more rocks to the me.sa top. They were three hour.i at it. "Ought to be easy," Bob began. "Here, let's anchor one end of the rope firmly. Then you snub the middle length around this mes- quite tree trunk, HoUiman, and I'll be on the other end." "You mean â€" you goin' to swing over? You aim to take us all down there that way?" "Maybe. It might be the sim- plest way." Bob Barry started down, but he had overlooked two thinss. First, the wind at the cliff edge was very strong, forestalling ail efforts to shout instructions up to Holliman once the descent over the ledge was begun. Dangling In the The Wind He wxs danKli!'.!? down noar'y 150 feet when he discovered that he was on a level with the castle floor, ^e shouted to Holliman, but got no answer, and Holliman let him go down some oO feet too far. Then he realized the import- ance of the second item he had forgottenâ€" the cliff overhang. His strong arms, developed in years of swimming, enabled him tu climb back up to the level of the castle floor. But because of the overhang above him, he was still '20 feet or more from the rock lip. He knotted the rope at that point and s.udied the sit- uation. "Hey, Holliman!" he yelled, but the wind swallowed his voice. "Gee, it's a long drop under me !" he murmured. It was in- deed. About 400 feet to some tree tops, then more trees in assorted levels for 200 feet or so mois. MATRON'S YOKED GRACEFUL DRESS He could see Miits Lane and Honey Bee staring up at him. H* grinned and waved, showing mor« confidence timn he felt. He noted in a flaah that the ancient castle walls, made of crude masonry, were remarkably well preserved. He was close en- ough to study their cxterioi. He thought he could see blackened rocks, where firea had burned cen- turies ago. But scientific interest was fleet- ing. He had twisted the rope around his left leg to hold him- self there, and the stricture was hurling. He looked up. Could a man climb 150 feet of lope? He didn't know. He was swaying in the wind. On a narorw ledge down to the left he recognized an eagle's nest. He suddenly envied the eagles. -A moment of hysteria chilled him, but he literally forced himself to think calmly again. Robert Bar'-y had a trained mind. He could see but two possibili- ties. Each offered a very slim chance, he realized, but he must decide quickly to risk one of them. (To Be Continued) By ANNF.

This is known as the "air cell." When eggs are being graded under a strong light, this space is plainly visible and, in part, indicates tha age of the egg, and, in part, tlia conditions under which the egg has been kept. Thus the size of the air cell is indicative of qual- ity and is one of the chief con- siderations in classifying eggs in- to different grades. Nowadays, everybody knows that grading ft essential to intelligent buying. Parly Ends for Mr, Caffeine-Nerves HE: Who's the pretty wallflower looking so glum?
