HoUimaii thinks Bob ha:> been killed when the rope slackens, lies limp in his hands.

'i'hc man auove had senseri, • a-ather than actually seon, that something wan wrong- with his boss. He had jcen the two girl? • below pointing e.tcitedly, and too . late it had lia.viied on him too tiiat this cliff had a dangerous overhang. It ">vou!d be much big- ger in reality :lian it appeared from below he knew; distances are det'eptive that way. When the rope had acted crazily, swayinp and jerking, Holliman deduced that Bob was irying to climb back up to safety, ":)ur had fallen in the attempt. Actually Boi) had given one finai swing and let go â€" to land on his goal, the rock ledge that held the dwelling. Other troubles "wei'e ahead â€" such as the way to get back down :o camp agrain â€" but lor the moment he was safe. He had done an acrobatic stunt wlii.'h he himself would have call- ed crazy under most circumstanc- es. He had literally been a dar- ing young man on a mountain tra- peze, but it .vas by no mean? what he had planned. "What I need," he grinned tc himself as he sat there panting, "is a doable, if I'm going in for movie stunts." He was a little ashamed of himself for getting in such a difficulty; a man with a •doctorate degree is supposed to think things uut in advance. And yet â€" the youth in him was a little proud too. He locked down to see both girls waving at him. "ALL RIGHT!" he yelled. "SoiTy to frighten you!" He couldn't catch their answer, but he did hear Hades Jones, who was directly at the base of the I'liff now. "You dang .voung fool, we'd ought to lift yore SCALP!" Hades never was one given to gentleness. "Ain't choo got no *ctise?" Ineiilw Th.a Casti* ".N'O!" yel'.eJ Hob, agreeably. "Figure out a -vay for me to goi down, Uncle Hades." He couldn't hear Hade.<i any more, and he didn't need to. He could well imagine the mouthing the old man was doing. He .shout- ed down for Hades lo go aft?v Holliman. Getting down didn't prove half the task Bob at first feared it might. First, though, he made a hasty survey of Defiance Ca.stle-â€" he wouldn't have missed that even if he rotted on the ledge later. He found 19 rooms in the place, and crumbled walls of what must have been si.x or eisb: move. The rooms wore iiivariabiy jnii'.il. ahout 8 by Cfux/nteeiex Slow Burning CIGARETTE PAPERS NONE FINER MADE DOUBLE AUTOMATIC BOOKLET ISSUE NO. 17â€" '40 10 feet in most cases; obviously there had been many occupants, and .^pace was previous. There were no windows. DoorJ were less than four feet high. "More pygmies," Bob mutter- ed, smiling. That was an old mistake, he knew; the ancient people made low doors for defense. B^nemies might rush â- â-  a six-foot door and take a fortress, but they would have to stoop to enter a low one; one squaw inside with a club could thus defend it. He saw an abundance of shard*, and many unbroken bowls and storage jirs. Several weapon? were in evidence, also fireplaces, bits of wood, even charred corn- cobs which he knew to be fen- turies old. Partly wrapped in a shroud woven of grass fibers, now decayed, was the dried shrunken niiinmiy of an old man. Strange s'ljetches and "designs were etch- ed on ceilings and walls, cut ther* by very early American artists when time was abundant if skill was not. Bob wandered, enthralled, as long as he dared. He realized his obligation to hi.': associates, and so reappeared after half an hour on the outside or eastern edge oi the great rock lip. He gave thought to getting out safely. <i c « Beyond Reach The rope was beyond reac'.i â€" so far that he wondered now how^ he had ever swung far enough to leap into the cave. He still could see no possible means of entrance or egress, unless a series of six or eight long ladders, supplement- ed by chiseled finger and toe holds, were placed on the face of the cliff. There were some nat- ural steps and footholds, never- theless Defianfi Cattle v.a'^ t' t most improi^nable of all the cliff fortresses lie had ever seen, he knew. When he was sure that no oth- er means offered. Bob did a sim- ple thing. Ho grinned to himself as he worked. â- 'I'll look like a real cave man when 1 descend," he told himself. He wondered what Hades Jones would say then. With his pocket knife, he cut and tore his shirt, handkerchief, . trouser legs and undershirt into small strings and tied their ends together. He let this long string down to Mary Melissa and Honey Bee Cirl, then pulled up a small rope which the? tied to the string. With the small rope he then pull ed up a stronger one. It took time, but it was easy. He knotted the big rope at fre- quent intervals, for "steps," and himself was back in camp soon after Hades Jones returned with Holliman. The talk was very pro- fuse all ai-ound, for a while, save for Honey Bee. When food had been served. and the work of building a more permanent camp started. Honey Bee approached Bob alone, ju?:. outside the supply tent. "I cried when you were up there," she simpered, rather sur prisingly. Mary Melissa overheard it. She was inside the supply tent, but obviously the Indian girl didn't know. rloi ey Bee"s mfiCct: i.i was one of secrecy, of deliberate intimaty. In the Indian's background, ac- tions were direct: one took what one wanted, one said what one thouffhl. let the results be as they may. _ * ♦ • ~ She Couldn't Be l-ogical Maiy Melis.sa caugh: the in- \ tent in a flash, realized in that instant that Honey Bee w.mx in j love with Robert Baviy. The i , bought astounded her. "You â€" you mean--?" Bob misled it. "Aw. that's all right. Honey Bee. Don't worry about me. But I'm sorry I frightened you girl*.

That, on top of the excitement when Bob was in danger, served doubly to un- nerve her. She realized, though, that all this wa» none of her affair, that thiji was a business trip in the interest cf science, and from her standpoint a vacation from the hectic and somewhat .stifling rou- tine of society in the moneyed East. What if the red girl did throw herself at I)r. Barry? Mary Melissa wan doing her best to philosophize, to be logical. But it wouldn't work. Logic wasn't the answer. Her eyes fill- ed with uninvited tears, and a sob came. She got up hastily then, to go and look for old Hades Jonc. She must talk to somebody. The white girl's chin was set, and her eyes were strangely hard, as .she walked away. .She knew there was just one thing in all the world she wanted, und she meant to have it. (To Be Continued) Rug - Cleaning Here Are A Few Important Ti!>s That Will Lead to Long er Life for Your RuQ» Rug labels that give complete instructions for cleaning: are sometimes hard to find, but hero are a few important tips: L'se your vacuum cleaner on^e a day on traveled areas; give the rug a complete vacuuming once a week without fail in any case. Daily vacuuming is better for any floor-covering, as a matter of fact. Sweeping usually drives more dirt into the rug than it takes out. Vacuum a rug in the directii>!i of the pile. If you wish, brush the pile lightly when you have fin- ished, so it will all lie in one di- rection. Never beat a rus. This may snap the base fibres and surely will shorte;i the life of the floo.- covering. ^ Methodical vacuaming is the recipe for rug and carpet long- evity. This" removes dust, dirt and grit before they have had a real chance to injure your floor-cov- erings.

Pineapples are now :ippearing and they always put up a rigid chal- lenge for an all-season favorite. They have an incomj)arabie flavor and an aromatic "air," which helps them wend their way into the highways and byways of near- ly all type of menus, especially when something that is different is sought. Just one thing abor.t pineapple: remember that fresh pineapple cannot be mixed suc- cessfully with gelatine unless it has been previously cooked. One of the acids of pineapple, uncook- ed, destroys proteins,â€" hence the result. However, do no allow this to discourage you, for fresh pine- apple cooked does have a fresher taste, different from the fruit we have stored.
