Spence. ..Such valuable secrets sell
dom belong to any but the masters OF
mysterious places like this. The
owners guard them jealousy, for their
own protection some times from their
own followers, too. The cell beneath
us, for instance, with IT'S queer loose
stoneNin the roof, would make most
desirable hiding place-if the owner
OF this hacienda were to require a
refuge"
His words relieved my anxiety.
Hamilton Certeis would never let his
underlings have such valuable infor-

Camilla's discretion and devotion to
their ancient family pride.

Spence Nodded his agreement.
"Superstitious lot" he asserted :.
Since we've vanished-disappeared
; in thin air',-his wide gesture includ-
ed the atmosphere Of the globe-"ot
) course they'll conclude that the devil
had his hand in 1t. And they will not
tell their superiors! They'll insist
that the two Americans have been
shot-and buried in quickllme-ac-
cording to contract. Then they'll col

'.And give the devil his due-n
their own minds" laughed Archer.
why, there's not mark on the CELL

stone has ever been swung back from
its under side. OF course, when l
perceived what had happened yester-
day,I Just naturally took to studying
the thing. That trap door is won
