Screaming to make himself heard
above the roar of the deluge, Barcus
hammered in Alans ear:
THAT devil! He's found the reser.

Alan had no argument with which to
gainsay him. Silently getting on his
feet, silently he groped for Rose in the
darkness, momentarily becoming more
dense as the fall of water shut out
the light, and drew her away with him,
up the slight incline that led back ia
the bulkhead. .

In his memory as an hour in hell No

blackness. He could say nothing to
comfort the girl; bravely though she
strove to keep up her heart, time and

thing, when panic dread caught her
by the neck as a terrier catches a rat,

The timbering caught fire without de
lay. In a space of time incredibly
brief the flames were spreading right
and left, the tunnel was a vault ol
blistering fury.
As Alan said his last mute farewell
to Rose and Barcus, the fire spread
out in the bottom of the shaft and in
vaded the powder room.
Alan had guessed Alright at Mario
phat's design; the keg of blasting pow

feared.
But what Marrophat had overlooked
was the proximity to the keg of som,

film of earth that had fallen from

When the blazing fuse dropped
sparks into the blasting powder thi,
last exploded right willingly and the
dynamite took its cue without the
least delay.
The resultant detonation was ter
rifle. The bulkhead was crushed il
like an eggshell barrier. Part of the
walls fell in, but the tunnels and shaft
remained intact. The released fooc
streamed out and spread swiftly to the
farthest recesses of the burning tun
mel. Dense clouds of steam filled that
place OF terror as the fires were extin
guished.
Swept with the stream az II poured
out OF the tunnel, Alan contrived
throughout to retain his hold round
the waist Of Rose. Barcus shot past

"Got any matches?" Barcus in.
quired, as Alan hurriedly helped Rose
to her feet.
Never one."
Nor l. Wen have to feel our way
along. Let me lead. If step over the
brink of pit or anything, I'll try to
yell and warn you in time"
Alan caught his friends hand in
passing and pressed it WARMLY ca.
ress eloquent of his gratitude to Bar.
Gus for taking their peril lightly, or
pretending to, for the sake of Rose.
A ticklish business, that-groping
their way through blackness so
opaque that it seemed as palpable as
pool of ink. And haste was indi-
Gated; they stumbled on with what
caution was possible against pitfalls
a gingerly scramble. Then an elbow
in the tunnel-sensed rather than felt
or seen-cut them off from direct
communication with the bulkhead,
and at the same time opened up a
shaft Of daylight, striking down
through that pitchy darkness like a
column of fine gold.
Cries of JOY, amazement, incredulity
choking in their throats, they STUN.
bled forward, gained the spot immedi-
ately below the shaft, looked upward,
dazzled, to see blue sky like a coin OF
heavens minting far above them, at
the end of long and almost perpendi-
cular tunnel, wide enough to permit
the passage of a mans body, and lined
with wooden ladders.
The end of the lowermost ladder
hung within easy reach from the floor
Of the tunnel.
But even as Alan lifted his hands to
grasp the bottom rung the opening at
the top of the shaft was temporarily
obscured.
Thrilled with apprehension, he hesi-
tated: Marrophat was up there, he lit
tie doubted; hardly like that one to
overlook the ladder-shaft in preparing
the tunnel to be a living tomb.
What is it?" Rose demanded at his
elbow, in a shaken whisper.
Nothing" he lied instantly, and
seizing the bottom rung, swung him
self up. "But wait for me till / signal
the coasts clear" he warned before
committing himself finally to the as
cent.
Marrophat or no Marrophat at the
top, there was nothing for him to do
but to grasp the nettle danger with a
steady hand, unflinching. Even though
ne were shot dead on emerging from
the shaft, it were better than to die
down there, like rat in trap. !.
He had climbed not more than half
dozen rungs when a voice hailed
from above:
"Law-Oh, Mister Law. say ay-don't
come up-here's present for YOU"
Pausing without answer, he looked
up. A few drops of water splattered
his face, like heavy rain. Almost i'm
mediately the blue sky was per-
manently eclipsed: heavy cascade of
water, almost solid column, shot
down the shaft with terrific force.
Half-drowned and wholly dazed, he
felt himself picked up and dragged
away from the waterfall.
Then, as his senses cleared, he com.
pretended the fact that the tunnel
was already filing. that where they
stood it was already ankle deep; while
the water continued to fall without
hint of letup.
