HADES JONES â€" pioneer; member of Barry's party. « * w Lf.st week: Having satisfied the curiocity of the strangle people, Bob and Meliiita obtain a guide and begin their return journey back through the cavern. CHAPTER XXII Since they had slipped awa.v in the dawn that morning, Mary Melissa and Bob had been pfone six days. They weren't sure of thai until later, but Bob estim- ated that they had been gone anj-«here from four to eight days; he just couldn't say exact- ly how long they had first been in the cave, so harrowing were those dark hours. It is almost miraculous that Hade.? Jones didn't find them in all that time. Left to his own in- clinations he no doubt would havt climbed to Defiance Castle, found the inner cave entrance and stane;! in search. But Hades was past 70 years of age. Climbing 600 feet of assorted ladders and precarious toe holds was not ex- actly easy, and he realized it. Not that he couldn't do it â€" oh no! But it would be best to have a' good reason. He didn't worry much until the third day, in fact. He had thi- rather vague note that Bob had left. Honey Bee assured him that Bob and 'Lissa had departed in the direction opposite the cliff. The main worry for Hades was the fact that the absent ones had not ;aken their horses. Where could they be going- on foot, for so long? There wasn't anywhere to go, that he could figure. Fur- thermore, why couldn't he find their trail'? Two days had passed before he thought to look for tracks, and wind had blown considerably in the meantime. Hades once was an expert trailer, but blowing dry sand soon erases tracks and ,a tracer is forced to detect such difficult signs as broken grass, shoe marks on rocks, bent wigs in brush. This is very hard to do in desert regions. Hades circletl the camp a half mile or .so out, but he could pick up no likclv signs. He came back and ques- tioned Honey Bee. SHE'D BEE-N UP "Vou say they never said where they was going to'.'" "Bawb say they go away, us to wait." Honey Bee insisted. â- 'But where to, damn it?" She shook her head. "I wisli I could say,'' the Indi.an girl de- clared, truthfully. "Waal, we better climb up thcre'n look. They mighta' got hurt or something." Hades leaned back to stare at the high cliff castle.

"Aain't you already been up there, cookie? Didn't I sec you upon them ladders last night?" Holliman addressed Honey Bee. The girl nodded. She had in- deed gone up. Most of the way, but not quite all. She had been mooning about the matter, medi- tating over the absence of the man she loved. The thought of his taking her rival angered her in the first place, and his prolong- ed absence with 'Lissa was be- ginning to drive Honey Bee into brooding jealousy. But Bob had commanded her to silence about the new cave. He was her man, she must obey. She had thought of all these things as she climbed. She had faith in his ability t She had faith in his ability ti tak?'care of himself â€" what harm could befall a grown man and woman, adequately equipped with water, food, a lantern, spare candles, everything? She had no belief in "ghosts" and such yarns. And she had an Indian's patience- ; she could wait. "Waal, ef you already been ui) there to look, that settles that," Hades ruled. "They've slipped off sorae'ers." He shook his old head, confused at the strange turn of events. * « lit THE SIXTH DAY Hollimair went on with tlie work ho was hired to do, build- ing first permanent pole frames for the tents, making tables, chairs, a fireplace, then assisting Hadcb Jones to build a corral. He v;as a plodder t.vpe unles.^ something stimulated him into ex- traneous action. He did talk once to Honey Bee Girl about his deal with her con- cerning Mary iVIelissa. But Honey Bee was not inclined to discu?s it. She was surly. Things had got- ten out of hand. All three of them were, in fact, getting anx- ious, increasingly truchy, as days passed. And Holliman may have notct that Hades was absent part of the time, but they didn't bothei. The old man, as a matter of facr. was "cutting trail." He rode and he walked, inspecting every ra- vine, every coyote track, every possible place for signs of tho missing ones. It bothered him that he could pick up no track. On the fifth day of Bob's and 'Lissa'ij absence, Holliman left thc- canip himself, permanently. Ten.- pers all were strained by that time, and the showdown incident to Holliman's departure served to relieve Hades some. He had "blowed off steam" as he would have put it. Scott Holliman, lucky to be alive, must have had a long and tiresome wall: back to civilization, but lO-odil miles wouldn't kill him. Soon aftc]- on the si.'cth da.v. Hades was still nt the corral doe- toring a mule that had been in- jured, when he chanced to glan' e up the face of the cliff. "Waal. I'll be fried and i>ut- tered!" he exclaimed, mumbling to himself. Thar goes that s(|iia v up thar!" * « « It was true. Honey Bee w-t.-, climbing the ladders. She ha<i thought Hades gone for the morn- ing, as usual, perhaps miles from c.Tmp and entirely out of range a to vi.sion. She had brooded ail nighl. Mental picluies ol Hob ani Mary Melissa had bedeviled tin Indian for day.s. She couldn i stand it, she told herself. So sh'> determined at breakfast to dimii the ladders, take a lantern of he; own and go iflto the new cave. The time had come vhen she could no longer obey her loved one's command to wait. She mu-t sec if he were in danger. When .she had reached the top ladder. Honey Bee had worke(. up an inten.st hatied anew for Mary .VIeii.s.sa. "He would not have been los. . but for her."

Ml. 3571 For Figure^s Sake Imitate The Cat Graceful Feline Movements Well Worth Studying "For u quoenly, yet supply, graee fully youthful carriage, iitudy the mov^uenta of your pel oat," says a figure expert. She did, .And here are directions for exercise.s created as a reaull of hor study. Lie on your side on the floor with knees drawu up, arms folded in the most comfortable [wsltion, liack arched. Stiffen neck muscles, thou relax them completely. Now stifteu muscles of the arm for a second or two. Relax them completely. Do the same with the back, with the leics. with the ankles, with the feet. RELAX LIKE PUSSY When you have finished, every muscle of the bwly should be re- laxed as â€" well, well â€" as a cat's. Hold the positlou for several min- utes, not moving, not tliiukiug â€" jusi semi-dozing. Study the movements of the cat as she enters a room, then do like- wise. Don't hurry in breathlessly. Pause :i moment iu the doorway, take a deei) breath, look around the room before entering it. This ver.v important pause gives you just time enough to regain your poise, make a ladylike entrance. EMULATE THE PE.ACOCK V/hen you have learned all the cat can teach tiibout stretching, re- laxing and timing, go to the zoo and study the peacock. The regal carriage of this handsome bird can be emulated with exercises such as the following: Stretch arms upward. Walk on tips of toes, keeping back straight. With arms stretched ovei bead and back straight, bend knet-s very slowly until .vou are sitting ru .vour heels. Now rise up n:; toes, stretch arms wide apart as .vou lower them to hips. Repeat 10 times. Add Color To Your Life Your Home Is Your Castle So Make It Cheery With Colors of the Rainbow -V. tonic for a house that's dull and uninteresting, is a flash of bright color. .And an inexpensive one, for, of coui'se, color is the cheapest ingredient. One decorator fools that every room should have a touch of red somewhere in it â€" just as every lady should have her lipstick. Tur- quoise potter.v also has a way of perking a room up effectively. Copper trays and jugs can make a mighty big splash for small expense; so can brass and pew- ter. A TIP TO THE AMATEUR .Actually most home-makers are .scared to death of bright color?, but here is a tip on how to get away with bright colors in decor- ations. The amateur is safer to try just one really scintillating color in a room â€" such as brilliant cerise in a room that's otherwise mostly in shades of greys. Or emerald green to counter-balance the deadening effect of the all- taupe room, or with gradations of beige to brown. Lapis Lazuli blue is lovel.v with dusty pinks and rose-beiges. I.NEXPERIENCE CHA.NGES If you can't afford to work out these ideas in any really mo- mentous changes, you can create quito a change of scene by ma!:- ing fresh lamp shades and cush- ions, adding new curtains even it they're made of inexpensive ma- terials framing a few brigh.t prints, buying some new piece.!- of pottery. Babies Have Fun In Unique Way When a doctor asked througli the American Medical Associa- tion's journal, for advice on how to stop a baby from getting om his hands and knees and roc!:- ing in his cradle "with such forc^? that the bed made a great deal of noise," ho was told, in effect, to skip it. This baby also had :t habit of bumping his head on the head board, without injur iig himself, until he fell aslecu. 'There seems to he no good leason why an effort should he n'ade to break the habit of bod rockir.g or head banging," the .lojrnal advised. "Ju.st why these habits develop is not known. Ig- noring them usually causes their disaiipcarancees." There's DOUBLE , ENJOYMENT in delicious ....
