Martie led the way. turning on

looked around. But some of my

fore the law was passed-what about
that?" she said innocently:

the short man. politely. All of the

both stood step aside so this
guileless girl could open the vault.
Msrtie had switched on the lights as
they had entered the cellar. and the
place was open to their gaze, though
not brilliantly lit. but the alleged
vault was in rather dim corner.
So he passed over the hashlight with
out protest. Myrtle stopped and FUN
bled-the lock Of the wooden door
clicked and the door swung towards
them. Then suddenly the whole place
was in Stylgian darkness.

Strange Life in Caves.

nNE would hardly look for new
~ forms of animal life IN a vast.
dark cavern like the Mammoth Cave
of Kentucky. Yet. n . matter of
fact, no less than seven such forms
inhabiting that particular cave and
hitherto unknown to science have
been described within recent years
The fact that these creatures, are
very minute does not detract from
their scientific interest. while, on the
other hand. it must increase our ad-
miration for the skill and industry of
the natrralists. who do not allow even
microscopic life to escape their ken.

when she took down the receiver
there was no answer from central.
and repeated jogglings of the hook
effected nothing. The line was dead.
I'll have to run out to the garage
and send Tim down to the station

But as she left the telephone she
became aware Of q motor stopping

voice calmly through the gloom. Our
lights do that every once in while.
Just step over toward me and Ill give
you back your flash and run up and

The two men had given a startled
jump when the lights went out, but
Martis's words treasured them. They
edged over nearer her, and as they
got on the other side of the wooden
door they felt her slip past them
with a murmured excuse me-" and
their next sensation was the sudden,
violent impact Of the door itself

The door was impelled by Martie.

A'A and stood on the stairs. and
screamed and said it was q wonder
they hadn't been murdered in their
beds. and Tim was discovered tied
up in the garage-by the fake de-
tectives-and the telephone wires had
been cut, presumably by the same, so
that it was far past midnight when

peeved about the preserves and pic

from the country club were loud in
their compliments Of Martie. They
said she was wonderful-the bravest

girl they'd ever heard Of. And they
gave her three cheers, and all Of
them volunteered to patrol the house

sweetly but firmly. So at last all the
cars got away, and the general mess

went away chattering.
This left Lowell and Martie alone
in the library. They didn't look at
each other-neither of them knew
exactly how to begin.

at last. They won't stay after this.
