The "Great Tree of Tule" in the

giant cypress, with trunk so huge
that thirty persons with outstreched
arms can scarcely span it, is known
to have been fair-sized tree when
Columbus discovered America, and
history recounts that Cortez and his

began to see the dim outlines of his

mistake In this regard 1t was the north

However, she had said that she would
be confined in an interior room. and
possibly the Turner's had seen no need
Of barriers other than its locked door.
Probably they had not even anticipated
that Bruce would attempt a rescue.
He leaped lightly upward and
slipped silently into the room. Except
for the moonlit square on the floor 1t
was quite In darkness.
He stood a moment, hardly breath
Ing. But he decided 1t was not best to
strike match. A match might reveal
his presence to some one In an adjoin-
Ing room. He rested his hand against
the wall, then moved slowly around
the room. He knew that by this course
he would soon encounter the door that
led into the interior rooms.
In moment he found it. He stood
waiting. He turned the knob gently;
then softly pulled. But the door was
locked
There was no sound now but the
loud beating of his own heart. He
could no longer hear the voices of the
wind outside the open window. He
wondered whether, should he hurl all
his magnificent strength against the
panels, he could break the lock; and
If he did so, whether he could escape
with the girl before he was shot down.
But his hand, wandering over the
lock, encountered the key.
1t was easy, after all. He turned the
key. The door opened beneath his
hand.
If there had been a single ray Of
light under the door or through the
keyhole, his course would have been
quite different. He would have opened
the door suddenly in that case, hoping
to take by surprise whatsoever Of the
door slowly into room full of enc

case the room was in darkness, and all
that he need fear was making q sud-

widened. Then he slipped through and
stood ten breathless seconds in silence.

a long time for an answer. Then he

Linda" he said again. Its Bruce.
Are you here?'
And in that unfathomable silence he
heard a sound-a sound so dim and
small that 1t only reached the frontier
of hearing. 1t was strange, whisper
ing, eerie sound, and it filled the room
like the faintest, almost imperceptible
gust of wind. But there was no doubt
ing its reality. A living creature oc-
cupied this place of darkness with him,
and was either half-gagged by hand
kerchief over the face or was trying
to conceal It's presence by muffling its
breathing. Linda" he said again.
There was strange response to the
calling of that name. He heard no
whispered answer. Instead, the door
he had just passed through shut softly
behind him. 4u OF
For a fleeing instant he hoped that
the wind had blown it shut. For it is
always the way Of youth to hope-as
long as any hope is left His heart
leaped and he whirled to face it. Then
he heard the unmistakable sound Of
bolt being slid into place.
Some little space of time followed
in silence. He struggled with growing
horror, and time seemed limitless.
Then strong man laughed grimly in
the darkness.
