They would kill him! There
was no hope. Someone had led
her child away; had come more

and ran her hand across 1t.
Her ring knocked on the wood.

Unaware, she struck q hand
harshly on the table. From the
chair opposite Dickie's black

reproach. "Say-what do you

the money was there. No one
had come since the money was
placed. But it and the box
were gone.
-. They struck their fists along
the flume. They reached in
and felt the wood. They dug
all about it. There was no
trace of the missing package
and every answer they found
for the battling disappearance
was soon discredited.
The flume was closed on the
top, deep enough, but narrow;
perhaps two feet deep but less
than ten inches wide. No man
could crawl through the space.
Even a thin boy could not
make it, crawling. But some
one or something had arrived
at the mouth of the flume and
spirited away the ransom box
with the $4,000 it contained.
They stared at each other IL

stationed along the ledge, on
the footpath and on top Of the
