all to fear for their safety. But Henley
had plan which he disclosed to them.

Henley crouched back of the door and
sprang for her. Picking her up bodily,

door when he stumbled over some
thing. The struggling girl took ad.

breaking away from him she ran
through another passageway with
Henley close after her Ahead Of her,
Ruth saw a ladder and climbed up
ward. Coming to a sort OF parapet,
she looked down. Henley was stiH
pursuing. Then the girl started up an
other ladder. When she reached the
top, she hurled the ladder below, max
ing further pursuit difficult.

tribes weiS massing below, struggling.
She could not understand the meaning
of it. Shouting at the top of her voice,
she finally got their attention.

in the dungeon as means OF forcing
me to give the Golden Pool to the
Blue Hawks" she cried "Gray Wolf

Pool to the white people which will de-
fraud the tribes OF their wealth" 4

saw Crouching Mole creeping toward
her He was blocking the only way
by which she could escape. Looking
in the other direction. she saw the rope

would have to cross the bridge. Turn
ing quickly, she ran toward the bridge
and started to cross. As she was half
way over. she saw the evil face Of Hen

side. The girl was trapped on the
bridge, not knowing which way to
turn. The canyon yawned below. Sud-

she started TO run towards the Indian,
but thinking better of il. she turned
and hurried over the shaky bridge m

man than the Indian. As she had al

Mole had cut the ropes, and the gir
felt her support slipping from under
