William Bryce added two planes
to the three he'd sent out at
daybreak. These planes left San
Francisco at 8 o'clock Wednes-
day evening. They would make

at dawn start from there for

they would bring the child
back!
Bryce sat with his hand on
Barbara's. Tears streamed
down his florid cheeks. Openly
he wiped them.
More than anyone else, Will
liam Bryce understood that 10
days in . remote wilderness
with the dissolute Montgomery
and the ruthless Partridge must
have meant to young Patricia
Dawn. And If that girl saved
his grandson, well he knew at

that his radio had gone from

such luck as this was long, long

by emotionS-=he would never

Superstitiously, he imagined
that his love for money had
brought this frightfuI disaster
upon Barbara and the child. He
was heart-sick even in the
midst of his soaring hopes.
"God!-I've done the boy a
fearful wrong. Not the lowest

After a moment she added:
Nor could Guy!" She was
suddenly remembering the day
she jumped from the para
chute. Guy lifted her. He
drove her home.
She remembered the dark
beauty of his look-the tender
youth in his eyes. Looking up
to them, she had loved him:
Had. admitted to herself that
she loved him.
Now she wept. Now she
prayed that the strength she
imagined then in Guy Elliott
would rise and save her son.
The reporters and the cam
eraman drove out through the
mission On and on. They
came to a small dark street-a
small gray cottage with five
steps leading to the front door.
Here the messenger handed

That's plain. And this eonfed-
crate still appears to be Elliott.
He lost his nerve and didn't
make a getaway. There's a
ring of them. And he's in the
ring.
Laura imagined the whole
world must rejoice at the mere
thought Of this. She trembled
and reaching out, touched the
detectives hand. There was so
much of the girl yet in Laura,
though she was so richly the
mother. Tim Chase didn't wish
to see her beautiful, fire, big.
But he had something Of soft
ness in his own heart that re-
sponded to the great profound
feeling in hers.

But it was quite well known,

Isn't this the law? She thought
it quite patural-ah, If she

Now. with the pain Of his
awful climb going like bayonets

chewed ferociously at his thin,

a crazy laugh.

Late Wednesday afternoon
Guys message reached San
Francisco. The evening papers
got out extras. The whole, story
went flaming in the headlines.
Wednesday night a messen-
ger called at the office of an
evening paper. He brought q
slip Of paper.
This is what the editor read:
Follow this messenger. He
will lead you to the ransom
Bryce placed in the flume. He
will tell you what's happened to
Billy Bryce and Patricia
Dawn"
CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE
The city editor studied the
dramatic message. Probably a
fake, but run it down. Sitting
here waiting for something to
break, anyway. Second radio
might come from the canyons
Bryce kid and the girl found
dead. Or the questioning Of
Laura Dawn might bring out o
new angle. Big enough story
for a second extra.
All set for this
A reporter at his elbow sud.
denly leaned down and pointed
to the letter ''B" in the mystic
riouS ncte. The lower half Of
this symbol was nicked off. The
reporters finger moved along
till it found a st." This was but
partly crossed and the &C" I'm"
and ar" were out Of line. Same
peculiarities Of tipping in the
four ransom notes! Same ma
chine as sent those deadly pre-
else directions TO William Bryce
last FRIDAY night had marked
off these three sentences.
This message in the editors
hand was genuine!
Immediately the room was
charged with excitement. Have
the whole mystery cleared and
before any one else had a
chance!
Two reporters ard q camera
man went OFT with the mystery
messenger. He would lead them
to the ransom; he would dis
close the fate of Patricia Tawn
and little Billy Bryce.
And At this tremendous mo-
ment the thee people most con.
cerned sat in the detectives
bureau, spent, uplifted, half
wasted with suspense.
Laura Dawn was held for
question: William Bryce came
to aid in the search. And Bar
bara, white, piteous shadow,
whose dark eyes we're terrible to
see, followed him there. She
followed him everywhere, Seiz-
ing on any comfort. any hope,
however wild he offered.
Now they sat with the NOV
ing, Stupenduous word from
Guy at once exalting and shak-
ing them.
When this message came

one yelled in alarm: Don't

A man with hands raised,
bolted from the rocks. He ad-

the vast, sunny quiet with his
hoarse, repeated appeal.

covering him with the pistol.

LEADvILLE, Colo. (P.-The flying
public may learn what altitude does to
human bodies from series OF expert
ments performed here by a group OF
Harvard scientists.
Leadville Is 10000 feet above sea level,
the Hottest city in the country.
The altitude here is found to reduce
energy by about one-fifth. But there
ie nothing to indicate that person who
flies up to the two-mile level has any
less strength when he lands. The ex-
perirnents show a wonderful adaptable
ity of the body. so that 1t is probable
flyer reabsorbs the lost strength as fast
as he approaches earth.
The tests are made by DR.. D. B. Dill,
head of the fatigue laboratory Of
Harvard University, with DR.. John H.
Talbot, research fellow; H. T. Edwards
and 8. A. Oberg, chemists, and A. Pap
penheiner, jr., all of the same labora-
tory: ,
DR.. Dill, indicate that the maximum
capacity Of man for continued hard
labor at this altitude Is about -four -fifths
that at sea level. This would indicate
that O long-distance runner, TOR ex-
ample could maintain four-fifths Of the
speed that he could at sea level"
Concentration Of oxygen in the lungs

level. Nevertheless, blood saturatiOn in
the lungs is approximately 90 per cent.
while at sea level 1t is only per cent
greater. This is one Of the experiments
which DR.. Dill says shows the wonderful
adaptability Of the human body. The
pressure of the air here is about two
thirds OF that at the low attitudes.
The methods the body uses to adapt
itself to lofty altitude are deeper
breathing and changes in the properties
Of the blood and In kidney functions.
