NO" said C~hicken,pox, "we don't.
Sometimes you will hear Of a mild
case of chicken-pox which some one
has. Well, maybe you think that

hind that barrier of rock, and she
drew the revolver out of Its holster,
and listened eagerly for any sound Of
guidance from below. If he made any
effort to climb up, she mean to shoot
to kill.
She dare not venture to advance
her face around the rock edge, for
fear the movement might bring her
into view against that vista of light.
The fellow was evidently waiting and
watching just as she was, disconnected
by her strange disappearance. No
doubt he half believed his bullet had
found It's mark, that she had fallen,
either wounded or dead, into some
c~revice, but was afraid as yet to VEN
ture up that narrow tunnel. She
could not remain there indefinitely
waiting for him TO gain courage to
attempt the ascent. Her hand. with
the weapon in II, reached noiselessly
out beyond the edge Of the rock, and
pointed downward. A stone ratified
below and her finger pulled the trigger.
The mufIled report echoed back from
the rocks, the red flash of the dis
charge faded into darkness, and the
pungent smoke blew back into her
face; but there was nothing else. No
cry, no crunch Of a falling body, no
thud Of lead. She listened helplessly,
half crazed to empty every load from
her poised weapon into that silence
below. What could II all mean? What
had happened behind that black veil?
An hour passed, an hour of dreadful
watching, of tense expectation. 1t
seemed to her the blue light streaming
through that opening was already los
ing Its power, as though the sur was
going down. If she would escape she
must go while she could yet see the
way. Desperate as the chance was, IL
must be accepted. She did not look
down, or permit herself TO think of
the possible danger lurking below.
with lips closely pressed together, and
heart beating rapidly, she drew her
self up, inch by inch, bracins her
body against the side walls as though

Of kindness. It's only because we

But here you are. trying to make

You're different from some crea-
