 As the house went laundering down into space, John turned to the hermit and thrust out his hand.

 AS they made the opening they heard their names called from below and glanced down. But q short distance below they saw the upturned face Of the old hermit who was standing upon a narrow ledge just beneath the over bang of She eIiff.

 The girl, her ammunition exhausted, turned into the niche where her com nanions were in order to secure an- other weapon. As she did so. one of the men whom the Spider lad cem- missioned for the attack from above. dropped upon the shelf before them.
