''They strut about and show off

"They are shown how to stand in

CHAPTER XII.
Under the Mountains.

The dog was standing on a rock at
the base of the hill Immediately before
me-and calling. l almost thought
that it was calling me.
took few steps toward 1t, and it
disappeared Immediately, as though
alarmed-apparently into the heart of
the mountain
When 1 reached the spot where II
had been II was nowhere to be seen.
And the pad-prints ran toward tiny
hole no bigger than the entrance to
q fox's lair-and ended there.
At this spot an enormous bowlder
lay, almost concealing the burrow. /
put my shoulder against tin the
hope of dislodging it sufficiently to en-
able me 70 see into the cavity. To nay
establishment, at the first touch it
rolled into a new position, disclosing
a wide natural tunne. in the mountain
side, through which sleigh might
have passed easily
saw at once the explanation. The
bowlder was a rocking stone. 1t
must have fallen at some time from
the top of the arch, and happened to
be so poised that at a touch 1t could
be swung into one of two positions,
alternately disclosing and concealing
the tunnel ia the cliff wall.
1 stepped within. and. striking a
match, perceived that l was standing
inside vast cave-a vaulted chamber
that ran apparently straight into the
heart of the mountains.
The interior was completely dark.
At intervals / struck matches from
the box which had brought with me-
but the road always ran clear and
straight ahead. and l could even
guide myself by the ruts in the ground.
l advanced cautiously until the light
grew quite bright; 1 saw the tunnel
end in front of me, and emerged into
m open space in the heart of the
hills.
l glanced at my watch. 1t seemed
that had been travelling for an inter
minable time. but 1t was barely eleven
O'Clock. l felt drowsy. and somehow.
before was aware of any fatigue, |
was asleep.
1t was three O'Clock when awoke,
and at first, as always since my jour
ney began, could not remember
where 1 was. And, as always. II was
the thought of Jacqueline that recalled
me TO my surroundings.
l Sprang to my feet and made hasty
preparations to resume my journey.
In the first cave that l explored I
found a stock of provisions-flour and
canned meats and matches-snugly
stored away safe from the damp and
snow. Near by were picks and show
els and three very reputable blankets,
with a miscellany of materials sugges-
tive of the camping party's outfit.
j might have been more surprised
than was. but my thoughts were all
conferred on Jaequeline. and the wan
ing of the light showed me that the
sun must be well down in the sky
1 must go on ar once If 1 were TO
reach the chateau that night.
As l proceeded kept looking to the
left 10 endeavor to locate the narrow
passage into which bad strayed. bur

before me.
Presently began 10 hear q murmur
of water in the distance and then a
faint flicker OF light.
