liotes From a Weird Source.

Riches From Weird Source
 Y Y FIR knees jolted from under her as she reached out and found
 no downward step Round A A black passages through rock vaulted aisles, some so close the sides brushed against her. she was hustled. She had given herself completely up to her guides. She knew with heavy despair that only accident could enable her to find her way back to the steps through all the turns they had made. Quite abruptly she felt her eyes blind ed as the. mantle of blackness was flung aside. For moment she could not see; then, becoming accustomed to the transition from darkness to com paratfve light, she looked with a shud- der of terror upon the hairy. dwarfed, misshapen creatures who surrounded her creatures who chattered in the gutturals of mutes, creatures whom the perpetual darkness had paled to a fshlike pallor, creatures whose hydro cephaIic heads were always bent far forward as though the sense of hear ing had been given them in treble val- ue because of the blindness with which the subterranean life had af- dicted them.
 Sick with the unwhoIesomeness of the sight. Lucille lifted her eyes at a shrill, chattering note in the gutturalS "a note that was strangely familiar. even welcome. She stared wondering ly at the enormous carved statue of a malignant faced mana man with mighty torso and gigantic arms. man whose head lowered far above her and whose forehead and neck and arms were loaded with blazing rubies. The alien sound that drove the mutes erouching back came from the gigan- tic statue And then Lucille saw that huge orang outang squatted compla- gently in the palms of the idol. his wrinkled, old mans face puckered curiously.
 As though their fear had subsided the underground creatures once more closed in upon Lucille Some impulse made her dart toward the orang as though for protection. The foul crea- lures were about her, clawing at her with their horrible, uncertain paws, like giant bats. Theo monkey seemed suddenly to waken to the situation. With a shrfl1 note of rage he Ieaped from his squatting posture and snat tcts- ed the necklace of rubies from about the idols neck, f1inging it squarely into the center of the mob. It had the effect of drawing them back for mo- ment- With shrill squeaks the orang's hairy paw plucked jewel after jewel from the idol, hurling them at the crea- lures with the speed of bullets. Again and again he drove them back from her and Lucille constantly fought her way closer to this strange protector.
 Her heart sank as she saw the crea- ture had no more missiles. She caught a flash of hairy arms and body as he leaped toward her, his huge, round arms failing about him, dropping the subterranean inhabitants at every swing. Lucille. guided bv some inn
