Barry's partner. HONEY BEE GIRLâ€" Indi.o: member of B»rry'» party. â-  • * Last week: Bob and Melissa arc eicorted down and out of the cavern and into a lost world â€" a world of strange ancient Indians who know no English and who worship the sun. CHAPTER XVIII Robert Barry was a trained scientist specializing in the an- tiquities of man, fasi-'inated al- ways by their history, their man- ners, customs, languages. Because Xorth American man seems liter- a!!y to have been cradled in o'jr Southwest, Boo Barry had cen- tered his studies there. He knew many things from books and pro- fessors, many mere from work in the field. And â€" common sense taught him not a few. •â- Remember the feller starvirij to <;eath in Paris, 'Lissa?" "What are you talking about?'' she laughed at him. They had maneuvered to get more food, and a couple of houi-s for rest and sleep. -"The .A.iueiican who saved hia life with a pencil," Bob resumed. "He was trying to make the cafe waiter understand him. Finally in desperation he sketched a picture of a cow. and so had a sizzling T-bone steak for dinner." She laughed again. "Will you order T-bones now?" she sug- gested. ''And you might draw a chicken and a bakery and a dish of peas, if your art is depend- able." He Had Sonxe Ideas He grinned but he was serious jco. He had some ideas. They had been resting inside a window- less room, on floor beds made of grass and woven fibre blanket*. Brown folk peered in the lone door froni time to time. Evidently these watchful ones saw whe!» they awoke, for a crowd greeted thein outside again. For two hours and more then, Bob Barry "conversed" wi:h the mar. who had accepted the watch. He was what he appeared to be â€" the leade'. or chieftain. He wore more i-Jothes than the others, bu: clothing in general evidently was not a bother to these folk: his pieccf wore oinamenta'. marks of distinction and rank. ''They're Not Indians" Bob's hunch was right. The brown chief could understand u\uch of the sign language which i« universal among wilderness people. It ii not always the same in every nation, but there is in- variably a sin\ilarity. Close ol>- Rervers can "interpret" it readily, for after all it is contraunication rediii-cd to the simplest of mo- tions, about the things coni'iion to all. Bot> could understiu'.d more of it than he could "speak." which, is usual with any (oreigrt language. Hut he labored at it, net uapleasaaUy, for most of the «f;evnoon.

She had waited near the chieftain's house. "Could you understand him. Bob? Did you ieam much?" "Plenty! It wasn't all easy, f r him or me either, but we had a great talk. These people are no; Indians. I'm convinced of that. I mean, not any tribes we know or have record of. They may be kin to the Hopis and Zunis and -Acomas, but they're a tribe of their own. right enough. "Why 'Lissa honey, kn'.>w what that old (.-hief told me? This u the answer to our main question. This tribe is the remnant of the cliff dwellers!" "Really. Bob?" "Yessir! Centuries ago, evi- dently, the ancestors of these vil- lagers built Defiance Castle, and lived up there for i|roteciion. They farmed this valley, which hiB some springs in it : and tha river courses on the other side of the cliff near our camp, ro- member? But enemies came raid- ing. They killed most of the other cliff dwellers, or took off the girls to be slaves. Probably th« enemies were Yaquis, or .\pach- es. "This i.'astie. though, was hat^- est to attack, because it was so high and hard to get at." "Then what happened. Bob?" The girl was intensely interest- ed. w « w A Lost Valley "These people, I mean their ancestors, made a smait move. They destroyed their front lad- ders, such as we built, abandoned their cliff home, and came inu this hidden valley to live. The enemies didn't know about this valley, and there was enough rich soil here to support the few sur- viving cliff people. See?" "Yes, but wouldn't the raiders find this valley in time?" "No, they diiin't. The raiders didn't live in this area. They came in from many miles away. When they thought all the cliff people had been killed or fled, they ceased tvniing." "But Bob, why haven't whita ' people found it? You say it's ne-v to science, and these people are living as they did 500 years ago." "Look around us. 'Lissa. Sea the great cliffs â€" there? .\nd there? .\nd on all sides? This really is a wide box canyon, a shut-in valley. .Vs you know, this pait of the Me.vican border is very sparsely populated anyway. Few travelers would ever ha\e cause to get over here. If on,« happened along, or if an aviator saw this valley and village, ha likely would think it some obscui* Mexican settlement of no import- ance. This may actually be in Mexi(.v: 1 don't know exactly where the international line is along here. Kemeinber. we are many miles fioni any white town. So you see. sweetheart, we have really scumbled onto a lost king- dom." Tk* Lost People It was all »v.rt of faniattic. but t. made sens«. The Lost People- Bob formally named them that were indeed « turn-back of tha hunian calendar. Their kingdom would be a microscopu- point 0"i the vast map of the United Stat«a or of Mexico. And by a freak of geography and circ^stan^ ' they had remained eomp'eteTy iJI | olated ft-om all the rest of tb« | world, unknown to it, and it u«- known to them. Probably it i«ul<l have happened nowhere else in j North America save in this arirf. al;~i 5. f ,;'"r â-  -i v :.u'i\, •,â- <.. n-.ountaina that maka ay Arizona, old and New Me.xic«». With • scream "for irrgation and for drinking, the Lost People had ex- isted here in a long self-suffi- ciency, a tiny Utopia in its way, i^enllefolk wh > through many peaceful generations had loa^ their fear of enemies and their inclination to travel or expand. They were content to live ard rest here, zealouj worshipers of The sun. ".\t ieait that's the be^t 1 can do at interpreting the acoty old what'shisname told me," &"-() concluded, to Melissa, "exce't for one rather important thin;i. In fact, I think it's extremely ici- portant to you and me, Meli^da." "What is ic, Bob? What d'd he say about us?" "Why these Lost People chin'-c we'ie messengers from their god, the Sun. We're pretty imp<;rtant, demi-gods or something. We brought them a watch, yellow and shiny, a piece of the sun. a> yoa observed. Now they beg us not to destroy them, not to reveal them to their ancient ene.'iiies ou.- side. See?" A Greater Sun God "Oh I can't imagine all this. I just can't. Bo'». It wouldn't be possible, if it weren't true!" â- 'Check, I agree. But here w» aie. Facts are facts. They never saw white people before, espec- faliy a beautiful white girl. You impress them tremendously, sweetheart. I mean, you're a greater sun god than I, because you're fairer, daintier, I imagine. They're going to stage a big party, a pow-wow and dance and all that, for our benefit. . . . Scared?" Mary Melissa was so frighten- ed at all this that she trembled a bit. But she dimpled at Bob Barry. "Never, with you here, dear,'' she declared. (To Be Continued) Champion Typist Likes Swimming Oakville Girl Who Holds The World'* Amateur Record Dia- covera It Keeps Her Quite Fit for Work A cup of tea at four o'clock and lots of swimming during the off hours, that's the formula for over- coming typing fatigue as proscrib- ed by prt»t:y hazel-eyed Margaret Faulkner, of Oakville, Oa;., w'ao captured the world's amateur type- writing champtouship in Chicago.
