1t has always been the boast
Of Harry NJ. Crandall and his
executive staff that there is no
such thing as a summer season
in the conduct of the fifteen
Crandall theaters in Washington
and vicinity, insofar as quality OF
entertainment is Concerned. The
photoplay product hooked for pre-
sentation in the :Crandail houses
Is not mulled over ana winnowed
with view to holding back the
good ones until fall. Perhaps
never before in the history CT the
organization has there been such
an impressive array Of bookings
for the Crandal theaters as has
been aligned by John j. Pay

The problem so inscrutable an
hour before had been solved. All cause
for antagonism between them had
come to an end.
And Lee was conscious Of a quiet
satisfaction. 1t was the happiest solu-
ton, and though Joyce would grieve,
she would come to see that it was the
best. She would be glad, after the
first shock, that her father would not
have to face the ordeal which he had
dreaded for so many years.
But as Lee looked down at the re-
mains of the dead man, he became
aware of a single fact. Nearly every
bone on one side of the skeleton was
broken-the skull, ribs, arm and leg
bones, and pelvis.
Then Pelly had not died of a stroke
or from a sudden attack of heart fail
ure. He had fallen from the summit of
the cliff above-perhaps he had been
flung down, for the revolver which he
had been clutching showed that he had
either encountered or anticipated an
enemy.
And, filled with a mixture of emo
tions-happiness for their future, grief
for the new that he must break to
Joyce, Lee made his way toward the
tunnel.
But all at one he made the singular
and unexpected discovery that he did
no know where the entrance was.

crumbled away. or had been washed
out by the streams.
The entrance to the cliff tunnel was
somewhere ON that side of the chasm,
some little distance from the bend
but where?
Lee stepped back to the brink of the
stream and looked up, trying to locate
the rocking tor or monoliths for a
guide, but the upper incline of the
cliff hid them from view.
1t was high noon. Lee set himself
to the task before him. He looked
about him, trying to orientate himself.
1t would be necessary to ascend to a
point about one-fourth the distance up
the cliff in order to discover the In
gress, which was no wider than n
Of numerous cavities In the wall.
Plenty of places along the chasm
afforded access. and Lee grasped a
projecting rock which seemed familiar,
and began to ascend, digging his hands
and feet into the holes, until he found
1t impossible to proceed farther.
Swinging to the right, he discovered
a large cavity and thrust his arm In
up to the shoulder.
A bitter disappointment awaited
him. however, for at the end his
hand encountered only a smooth sur
face of rock.
He tried again as he descended,
thrusting his arms into all the likely
crevices In the vain attempt to find
the ori1ce.
He descended, selected another place
and scrambled up the wall again, only
to achieve the same negative result.
And when he reached the bottom Of
the cliff again, and looked up at the
innumerable crevices, he realized that
not only did he not know at which
point to begin the ascent, but he did
not know how high to climb before he
reached the level of the tunnel Ell
trance.
He looked up at the huge cliff, with
it's inward incline, and scored with its
myriads Of hooking mouths, and now
a sort of fury took hold of him. Again
and again he scrambled up and chung

down, baffled, and then began once
more.
1t was now the middle Of the after
noon, and he was no nearer a solution.
He had accomplished nothing. He was
becoming bewildered. 1t was necessary
to proceed In a systematic way.
He now proceeded to mark off what
he considered the possible boundaries
within which the tunnel lay, by stamp
ing down two birch saplings. And
again and yet again he essayed his
task, always to %recoil, beaten.
He was only half way from sapling
to sapling, and it was beginning to
grow dark. His hands were bleeding,
his nails split to the quick. But 1t
was the eerie nature of his efforts in
the loneliness of the darkening gorge
that was the most nerve-racking part
Of all. He was like some mythical hero
of the classic world, tortured by IMAM

Of Tartarus forever, only to have II
bound down again before 1t reached
the summit.
He had been toiling by moonlight
for an infnity of time. he had GOV
cred all the space between the sap
lings. He extended his radius; and
now, in his desperation, he attacked
the cliff as If 1t were a human enemy
beating on it with his fists In senseless
fury.
Dawn, clear and gray, and bitter
cold crept into the gorge and found
him still at his labors. The sun rose.
Long rays Of light streamed down into
the chasm, In which Lee struggled like
a mailman, dust-white, dishevelled,
haggard, half-delirious from want OF
sleep and exhaustion.
He stopped, tried to collect himself.
But to cease meant to yield to des-
pair. Only by incessant labor could
he keep up the pretense that he was
about to find the tunnel. He felt at
the end of his resources. One con-
clusion was being borne In upon him |:
he had worked his way far beyond the
saplings on either side; he must have
passed the tunnel during the night.
One little oriice ~unexplored IN the
obscurity, and all his work had gone
for nothing.
He would have to 60 back to the be-
ginning and start over again.
But M human being could 60
through the test again.
There occurred to him an alternative,
but so fantastic that he only played
with 1t as a mailman plays with a
straw. The tunnel might be no longer
there. 1t might have disappeared
through a rock slide.
That seemed incredible-Lee put the
thought from him Its very occurrence
made him realize that his mind was
beginning to wander.
And, tapping up some water from
the stream, and sprinkling himself
with it, he began again-at the farther
sapling.
The u rose high. 1t was begin
ming to descend. 1t ceased to illumi-
nate the gorge. Lee was nearing the
second sapling. He would work on
till that was passed, and then-what?
And now each step Of each ascent
was an incredible labor. His hands
were Jumps of bruised flesh. He was
conscious what he was doing.
Still, he must reach the second sap

Respite? He had slept, and thai
lynx sense of his had just awakened
him In time-just In time to antici
pate that shadow stealing down the
gorge toward him. A m%IssEapen

ing, and then leaped back as Lex
struck at it.
Lee was alert on the instant. In

one grazed his cheek, n struck him
In the chest. Now the thing was in
front Of him. and when he rushed, It
was not there, and a shower Of stones
from an unexpected quarter cut his
lip and chin.
Thus tortured. maddened, Lee was
baited till the second dawn filtered
Into the gorge. There was no respite.
All the while Lee struggled against the
bonds of sleep. He would rest, his
eyes closing for an instant-it was
upon him again, a stone would hurtle
past him; another rush would follow,
and again the thing vas gone in the
dark.

behind a ridge or rock above him, Lee
saw the misshapen figure with the
massive shoulders and the long,
furred arms
And, yielding to the elemental rage
that wal in him, Lee whipped out his
automatic and fired two bullets. They
Clipped fragments of stone from be-
side the face, which continued to
watch him unmoved. That face, IL
lumined by the sunlight In the gorge,
appeared so human, so intelligent, so
much at variance with the m%isshapen
sight of 1t.
1t was only a man-but such a
man! A gorilla, all but the human
face.
Lee had already pulled the trigger
a third time, but there was no third
shot. Then he remembered that he
had had only two cartridges remaining,
He was unarmed.
He sprang, and a stone struck him
in the chest and hurled him backward.
Like two balloons they bombarded
each other with stones; but at last,
as a fortunate shot sent the other
staggering, Lee managed to close with
him.
The face, bruised and battered from
the encounter in the tunnel, looked
impassively into his. Lee struck, and
quickly discovered that he had not
strength enough left to administer a
knockout blow while at close quarters
he was decidedly at a disadvantage.
On the other hand his opponent was
unable to overcome him, for
ne could not stand up against Lees
lists at short range long enough to
allow him time to get the gripping
,ower of those shoulders into action.
At last, bleeding and bruised, they
