CHAPTER XIII "Stand ici'i: Stand absolutely still!' - lU'bort Barry roared the com- mand like art army major. When th-? iantern dropi>e(l and Mary Melioaa had screamed, the two of them had been on the brink of a subterranean cliff. Bob didn't kno'.v just how high it was, but he knew it was dan- gerous. W 'LLssa moved careless- ly in her fright, instant tragedy micht result. •'It'? all right I" he calmeil her. "Stand where you are. and I'll coiTit to you." Thoy had been 15 feet or so apart. Carefully he felt hia way through the darkness, talking in soothing tones. "Oh-h-h-h, I don't know h-how ^ I could have done that." She trembled whe.i he finally tourh- . ed her. ".No matter, 'Lissa. Accidents happen to anybody. I should have held the lantern. It was my job, . not yours. But there's no harm done. We have others in c-amp, you know. Five, all tgoether, and plenty of g-a.soline for them." She was still trembling, and his arm went around her waist. There in the blacknes.s she felt so utterly little. He held her tight to him. in both arms, petting and comforting her as best he could. In a moment she had her com- posure again. "All right''" His voice had his old smile in ic. "Yes, thank you. Bob. But it'j the worst fri^rht I ever had." "Shouldn't wonder. Now we'll take the .â- andl.?3 and go back out." "Vou have candles?" She was both surprised and delighted. "Yes. Butâ€"" He didn't c.)n\plete his ans- wer. Sudden fear chilled him! »â-  * * The Miifting: Pack Yes, he had brought (.•andies, in his shoulder pack. But â€" he had forgotten to put the pack back on .when they had halted a while ago to rest! The thought almost appalled him. "Easy now," he calmed him- self.

He had coileoted his wi'.s by this time, and tried to speat lightly of it. She didn't answer for a moment or two, thenâ€" "Bob, I'm not frightened now. At lea-st I am no longer nervous about it. But you aren't fooling. We're in a predicament, aren't we?" He reached out to pat her hand in the darkness. "Yes," he admitted, huskily, â- 'we are." • She said nothing else then. .She meiely waited. ••-Vlarj' Melissa, I am the ma.;- teriiiece among fools. I could choke myself with satisfaction." He was not funning about it. He was, rather, in deep despair, con- den'iiing himself in all seriou:-- ness. In Deep De<pair "[ won't ask forgiveness," hu resumed, "for I don't deserve it. I'm going to try my damnde.st lo get us out of here, but you ought to hate me forever, even if I do. I almost wrecked our expedition plans by swinging from that ropo in my haste that day. I can think, but I think sketchily. 1 am not â€" not dependable. I'm sorry, and Iâ€"" "Bob!" She squeezed his ann. "Hush it! You are no worse than I. Not as bad. You've been won- derful all the way through. Front the very day I surprised you at Blanco Canyon, when you we.'e expecting a man. "Bob, I know it wa.sn't fair to ask you to bring a silly girl on a scientific e.xpedition like thii. But you did, and I love â€" I lika you tremendously for it, fo-v being a great spoit. I admit we are in a jam now, but we're still alive, aren't we â€" partner?" « * « Her voice had been soft, liquid. There was no fright evident, no accusation, nothing but sin- cerity. It brought a lump of pride for her in Bob Barry's throat. Whac a girl! He had a sudden mental vision of her beauty, too. and he was almost overcome with emo- tion, in his sudden wholehearted admiration of her. She hadn't (.vied, or wiiimpered, or sniveled. Instead, she bad actually comfort- ed liim! Not Even A Match In the ubier darkness there he threw up his chin, a bit embai- rassed with himself, and laughed a little in new confidence. "The pack," he stated, "oiigh.: to be back this way." They moved at snail pace. Oft- en they crawled on hands and knees, to avoid slipping and faK- ing, also to make feeling with their hands easier. They ninst- - simply must â€" locate that pack. Holi strained himself to re- create in his mind the path they took after resting, every ttivn and every incline. .\ dor.en times he sear^'Iied his pockets f. r matches, but they weie in thf pack too. He never had smoked: for the first time in his life, now. he regretted it. "1 have a bar of chocolate." he announced, after they liad craw!- ed for what seemed hours. "Vou mu»l be hungry." ".Vol at all!" she lied. Sh • knew that chocolate might- be doubly precious later, "l couldn't eat now.'.' He put it back in his poikct. They sat still lo rest again, hold- ing hands. He tiled to think i>t some way to make artificial ligis. But these i-ocks weie not flint. And all they had for tinder would be their clothing. He sqtieezed her hand, and they h:'- Knn to ciawl ai;ain. » * ft It Might Be Day* They hoped against hope, and it was fruitle-s. Their search continued for what must have been several hours. Kach ."stop for rest made them realize the im- nier.sity ot the great cavern. They had lost all sense of direction. They lived solely by sense of touch â€" the only two living things, apparently, in all the uni- verse. Bob remembered the shriv- eled body near the entranc t.> the cave and the mummy out.-ide. and smiled a little dryly. "Keep, your chin uji. kid," !• â-  s-ai'l ijj'ce. softly. "I feel fine," she declared. T^ prove it she sang a little, an.j they both laughed. It helped. i 'I think the thing to do is ISSUE NO. 24â€" '40 S'ow Burning CIGARETTE PAPERS VO.Vf fiNfS MADf a take it easy, and eoiuerve th« chocolat.; bar," he announced "The others will of course start looking for us in a few hour.«, ' and hjive the Iikugh <,n us for the rest of the trip." She laughed, to show confi- dence. But she didn't feel foji- fident. 'l.issa remembered, and Bob remembered, that only Honey Bee Girl knew of the cave at all. .-^nd she had been emphatically ordered not to tell, not to follow. Being a Icyai sen-ant, she prob- ably would obey orders, even if they were gone a week or more. She would be just that stupid, they knew. .\nd besides, they had told her they were fully provi- sioned for as long a stay as nec- essary. Bob Barry knew it was Indian nature to obey a command tio the letter, regardless of de- velopments. It might literally he days before those in camp would start a search, and that would be too late. Bob and 'Lissa were thinking of these things. She snuggled a bit, just for the comfort of being nearer him. He put his arm around her shoul- deiS and held her close "Do you mind," he murmured softly, intently, "if I kiss you?" "Please do," she whispered. (To Be Continued) cmsTfe ' .-S~ %.
