KATHERINE MILLER SHOWS
YELLOW WHEN A PLAN TO
ESCAPE BY AIRPLANE IS
nDnAcIErN

So it happened that the episode
which should have ended with the res
cue of Katherine Miller had, for me,
only commenced. The cave in which
the bandits had their camp consisted
OF several natural galleries in the
mountain side. Evidently it had been
occupied by human beings in many
diterent ages. Queer picture writ
ing was scratched on one of the walls.
BITS OF an ancient helmet and sword
mad been dug up to tell a tale of the
brave days of old. Had some Span
ism knight been captured by natives
ana slain in one of these rooms?
The furnishings of Katherine Mill
ers particular private cavern told of
the Great War. The room was car
Peted with U. S. army blankets, ban
ats trove ] concluded, and it was,
one might say, sumptuously fur. ish-
sd-tor a cave. The fittings of Miss
Alller's travelling bag decorated a
rude dressing table. Her bed was an
elegant hammock hung under a can
opy from an iron stand.
Electricity, developed from a fall
ing stream in the ravine, lighted all
the corridors and cells of the cave.
From several of the galleris natural
chlmneeys opened on the sky, and in
one of them l saw a rope ladder,
reaching endlesslv up and up. 1t re-
minded me of the vertical stairway
by which had fed from Hamilton
Certeis' house. Plainly, the outlaws
had way of escape if by any chance
the opening to their tunnel were dis
covered.
But the band could stand a long
siege. / noted as Katherine took me
through the Kitchen" on the way to
her ROOM" The place was stacked
with provisions-enough to last for
weeks.
1t seemed impossible that Bob's
party would ever be able to locate
that cave entrance. And in my secret
heart, l almost hoped that they
would not.
"Oh, la! la" said to myself. "See-
ing my husband go forth to rescue
damsel IN distress wasn't half as bad
as seeing what I've got to face'-the
grand tinale-the girl saved at last
and in my husbands armsl But how
different it would be-" thought l, "if
Katherine and l should steal away
and meet Bob's caravan! What a spec
tacle-if only / could escort the lady
to Bob's campw
So l proposed a fight to Miss Miller
and | discovered that she was awfully
yellow-every way-she couldn't bear
to think of facing dangerl
Nothing doing, Janew she said af-
ter she had pulled an army blanket,
used as portiete, across her door.
"Of course we could get away all
right. The camp is never guarded ex-
cept for scouts posted in the passes
half mile away. Iaa far more
afraid of snakes than am of ban
dits-and believe me, dear, you're
perfectly all right, with me to guard
you"
81 should say am not" whisper
ed. And then l told her about Nor
rison's plan to gas the bandits out
didn't want to be gassed myself, adj
m:tted.
believe me, the search party can
never find us, grille, never. II I
