/ pouch. Isn't that the same pouch
that-it isl" The last two words
were a thrilled whisper. She had
slipped her hand into his coat and
lifted out the suede bag.
She snapped open the cover and a
string Of blood-red stones fell in a
chattering heap in her hand.

you doing with 1t, Dirk?"
Putting it in the Office safe till
tomorrow he answered reluctant
ly. fSome loiterer's been hanging
around the place lately. Finally
scared some sense into the old man.
Good thing I happened out there
tonight-he was just in the mood
to give it to me-
He held out his hand for it, but
Mary's cupped hands eluded his.
Let me try it on, just once!"
she begged, slipping it about her
neck. The catch snapped. The two
men stared, speeches., at the pic
ture she made.
The rope of stones hung about
her white throat and breast in a
crimson cataract, each ruby casting
a trembling reflection Of itself on
the white skin as the light struck
through.
Dirk's eyes glowed. "Marvelousl"
he hreathed And Bowen added,
God, it's a shame to lock up any
thing as beautiful as that!'
Dirk snapped out of it first. Give
it to me before some one sees il"
he commanded.
Just let me wear it to the Office, !"
Mary begged, and drew her wrap
about her shoulders. There's no
one here-you said so YOURSELF"
She turned and looked about.
With a shock her eyes met those of
three men who just had entered
from the front and were seating
themselves noiselessly at a table di-
rectly opposite.
She knew them at once-they
we're the same three men who had
been in the small dining room that
afternoon.

Aboard the O-22O grave fears had been felt
for the thirteen missing members of the
ships company. When Jason Gridley had
failed to return within the limit of the time
he had set, these fears developed into con-
vIction OF disaster Captain Zuppner sent out
another searching part, but they were so beset
by savage beasts that they discovered nothing
and returned convinced that Tarzan, Gridley
and the Waziri, all had been destroyed by the
saber-tooth tigers of Pellucidar. No other con-
clusion seemed possible.

Until we have proof of that, We must not
give up hope said Captain zuppner, nor
may we cease our efforts to find them whether
dead or alive and that we can not do by re-
naming here" So it was decided that the
O-220 should cruise around in attempt to
trace some signs of their companions who had
all so mysteriously been swallowed up in this
inner world. The motors we're warmed up the
anchor was drawn in and the air expelled from
the lower vacuum tanks. Then the great craft
rose slowly into the eternal monday sky.

CHAPTER TWENTY

ID OWEN and Dirk followed Mary's
D eyes and saw the newcomers,
too. almost before she could tear
her fascinating gaze from theirs.
Although, strictly speaking, none OF
the three men was looking at her,
but at the necklace cleaning like
new blood against the snowy velvet
of her evening Jacket.
She had drawn it about her
swiftly, but clumsily. The greater
portion of the necklace swung out
side.
Don't go now, it'll look as if we're
running" Bowen said quietly, al
most without moving his lips.
They sat in petrified silence a
few minutes, each with his own
whirling thoughts, making half
hearted conversation.
The party at the opposite table
ordered drinks, talked in low tones
and otherwise comported themselves
in an orderly manner.
Mary sneaked glances at them out
Of the corners of her eyes. Was
one of them the Fly? All three
were dark; one quite handsome. He
was the one who had jumped to
his feet.
Had they been in the small dining
room and left, returning by the
front door? They might be quite
different men, perfectly harmless
customers of the place, like them
selves.
Although perfectly harmless"
was a strong designation for any
of Jack Shay's customers, if the
place really was the criminals
hang-out Bowen had said.
Adroitly she managed to push the
necklace cut of sight, covering it
with the collar of her wrap. AS the
party at the opposite table made
no overt move, even failed to look
in their direction again, Mary said
restlessly:
I'VE may as well 60. They know
we were about to leave, they saw
me put my wrap on"

THE waiter, who had been no
Il where in sight a few minutes
before, now stood leaning with arms
crossed against dilapidated side
board which stood against the back
wall.
His face was nearly without ex-
preston as such a sinister counte-
nance could manage to be.
Although he kept his eyes fixed
assidously on spot halfway between
their table and the strangers table,
Bowen had the feeling that he was

ued)
Mary was tremendously moved.
She never had known a man to CRY
before. She had not dreamed he
telt so deeply about it.
BY staring at her clasped hands
lntently, she managed to wink away
tne tears that sprang into her own
eyes.
She lifted pleading eyes to Dirk.
surely now, once and for all, he
would see that his suspicious about
Bowen were unfounded. Whatever
else he might do, he was sincere in
this, at least.
Dirk looked as if he were about
to speak, but stopped. He turned
and looked at the closed door of the
private dining room.
1T would be suicide to go in
there" Bowen warned him gently.
Thoughtfully, Dirk turned and he
and Bowen locked glances for
minute. Then he reached into
pocket of his dinner jacket and
drew out long suede pouch which
he transferred to a pocket of the
topcoat which lay across the table
in front of him. He laid his hand
on it significantly.
Don't let anything happen to
that" he said and got up.
Before Mary could stop him. he
was walking casually toward the
back of the room. She cried out.
and half rose from her chair, but
Bowen's yise-like grip on her arm
held her down.

all right"
THERE were two doors on the
Il small corridor which ran along
beside the wall-off kitchen. The
first was the door into the private
dining room. The second, farther
back was the mems waShroom.
Dirk turned the knob and walked
into the first, then backed out as
suddenly as he had entered. He
looked about uncertainty for a min
ute, then went along the hall and
entered the other.
He evidently was presuming on
the Fly and his companions think
ing he had mistaken the door in
looking for the Mushroom.
Even so, it was a risky thing to
have thrust oneself Unexpectedly
into gathering of that kind. He
might have been shot first and apol-
ogiXed to afterward.

pride in his courage, even as she
yearned to spank him for risking
recognition and the chance of scar
ing off their prey by making the
Fly suspicious that he was under
scrutiny.
When he came back to the table
he disregarded Mary's scolding and
leveled his gaze at Bowen
What sort of looking chap is
the Fly?"
I've never seen him. The de-
scription I get from those who have,
makes him dark, tall, not bad look
ing. Looks like a Latin. Maybe he
is. Did you see him?"
Dirk said: The room is empty"
Well I'll be damned" After an
amazed second, Bowens eyes darted
vindictively about in search of Mike,
the waiter. eff that yegg lied to

was a side door?" he appealed to
Mary.
Yes, the one I escaped through

Dirk could afford to be gem

erased all suggestions of "I-told-

said. ITS getting late, and to-

OVERLOOKING SOMETHING?

Farm relief" may come from an entirely unex- pected the central idea if the American game policy is put into effect.
 The idea is adequate compensation in form to ranchers and homesteaders who practice environment control to increase game on their lands.
 In the East some farmers are making money from selling hunting rights and by-producs, such board eggs butter, fresh meat and other products, than they do from their crops Down in Texas farmers who actually producing game, are getting as high as & day for hunting privileges.
 There are four classes of game and game land, cordng to the classification of the policy which advo cates the landowner who practices game management De compensated directly indirectly for producing game crop and for the privilege of harvesting it. These Game and Migratory Game which inhabit all classes arc Farm Game; Forest and Range Game; Wilderness of and'
 There may be thought in all this for Aaskans lv ing beyond the limits Of municipality.

Each desires something.
