The Divine's Italian villa was a
masterpiece of artistic architecture
It's lovely gardens cleaning IN the
moonlight we're bathed in an thereal
beauty.
Above it lowered an Old World at
mosphere that was strange and ex-
lotto.
There were many lights burning

the maid for Miss Mitchell. she was
out but Mrs. Divine had not undress-
ed as she had just come from party
I explained VINO | was and the maid
staid that | was expected and that my
room was ready.
Maybe, it was the longing for my
mother and her swift understanding
that made measke for Mrs. Divine in
spite of the belated hour. She had
daughter and maybe l could pour out
nv woes on chr shouldre.
''I'll wait here for her." told the
maid, and began walking the length
of the tremendous living room with
its tiled floor and high, loaded win
dows.
"You will pardon my unconven-
tienal attire?" said voice at my ell
bow, "but l had just retired"
ooh" she drew back slightly as
I faced her, "is it really Sallie?"
1t was only then that I realized
my disheveled disappearance. The
long, windy drive had whipped my
hair about my face and the scene at
the Inn must have left my face pale
and drawn. That had been har-
rowing experience with Warren Fish

Something's happened, Mrs. Di

"But nay dear child, you must tell

Her voice was cold as sunlight on
cicles and there was no touch of SYM
'athy in her manner.
"Oh, please don't ask me, it's too

he was not the type who would ex-

lot let me do anything for you and
o the only suggestion l can make
lnder the circumstances, is that you
ct me take you to your room and per-
APPS by morning you will feel better

We assembled the long marble stair
way together.

a formal affair, she should send
notes, either by messenger or special
delivery at once. If it was to have
been very informal affair, she may
phone. Whenever possible, an expla-
nation should be given. Whether a
formal or an informal cancellation is
made, the notes should have a certain
warmth to avoid any semblance of
indifference.

CHAPTER XII
Freed by a Lock of Hair

1t seemed to him that it would be a
simple matter enough to ascend the
cliff again, and he had not taken the
precaution to take note of landmarks.
Now, however, he discovered that the
lower third of the granite wall was
scored with hundreds of holes and fis-
sures where the friable limestone had
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 stone 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 any
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
it impossible to proceed farther.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1925-04-03

Swinging TO the right, he discovered
a large cavity and thrust bis 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 Orifice.
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
lnnumerable crevices, he realized that
not only did he not know at which
point to begin the ascent, but lie did
not know how high to climb before he
reached the level of the tunnel en-
trance.
He looked up at the huge cliff, with
its inward incline, and scored with It's
myriads of mocking mouths, and now
sort of fury took hold of him. Again
and again he scrambled up and chung
like fly to the cliffs face; scrambled
down. baffled, and then began once
more.
1t was now the middle of the after
noon, and he was no nearer solution.
