"There's still one thing that hasn't been explained" Claire re- marked. "The tapping noise l heard that night I was up in Uncle Lyman's room"
 Tt was probably either Susie or Nick doing Q little investigat- inf on their own, Miss Fosdick, said Dan Dallas. "Your party ar- irving unexpectedly must have added an extra spur to their efforts. Baum was undoubtedly the one who put the log across the road to block your way Didn't he leave before you did?"
 T suppose he did" she ars- wered. T stopped to talk to Hannah and change my clothes, Yes, he would have had plenty of time to be quite way ahead of me. And he knew was coming"
 "One thing I still can't under stand, Claire" insisted Pat. If he was going to marry you, why did he bother to pull all this stuff, with the danger of getting caught?" He looked at her closely as he put the question.
 For a minute she did not reply, Then she looked straight back at him. Mick knew he would never marry me, think, Pat"
 "Well, this is no place for Q sick man. Mir. Steele, you better be getting back where it's warm, Hannah's practical voice broke in Without more ado she herded Bob and Dan Dallas out of the room and up the steps.
 Pat caught Claire's hand and drew her back for a minute. "You mean you didn't love him, Claire2" he asked eagerly.
 How could 1 after I met you, Pat?. Oh, do I have to throw myself at you?"
 Pats arms closed about her, and his lips crushed hers. But in @ minute he reminded her, I'm poor and you're rich now that you've got the mine."
 But the mine won't buy mo happiness, and if haven't that, I'd rather the old tree was still making 1t the House of Long Shadows, with Uncle Lyman's jew- el hidden under its roots. Please, Pat, don't stand there and say you won't have me, just because I've got something that was almost the end of us all." She smiled and added, T never thought I'd have to do the proposing when l got husband"
 Pat grinned.
 They walked out through the cellar and, as they came slowly up the steps, 6 shaft of moonlight touched the cupola of the old house with @ silvery glow. Claire loked up at 1t with e smile.
 "See, Pat, dear, the shadows have gone. From now on it's going to be the house of long life and happiness"

case and looked at 1t closely. Has 1t always stood out from the wall like this?" he asked.
 "Why, mol" Claire answered. Tt must have moved. Maybe when was fussing with it-"
 She did not finish, for at the pressure of Dams fingers, the bookcase swung slowly forward, showing a doorway with a flight of narrow stairs leading downward.
 ITO the secret room, I'll betl Come onp Pat said excitedly and started down.
 Another very low door at the bottom opened directly into the half-rulned place Eb had described, with the gaping hole which the tree roots had torn open at one side. This second door was concealed by an old-fashioned safe which stood in front of It. and 50 close that only an opening wide enlough to admit a person could be made.
 "Um, this connection with the library is evidently one thing Susie did not know about" Dallas decided.
 "No, she came through the eel. lar. Look at that, will youl" Dal- as threw the ray from his glacsr!c torch on the opposite wall.
 The shock of the trees fall had wrenched the big, wooden cup- board in the cellar room from It's place, disclosing the solid back of the shelves, hinged to swing open to make another entrance into the secret room.
 "The old boy went in for hid- den doors in big way, didn't he2" remarked Pat. This place must have been built when the house was, and that safe let down before the library floor was In place."
 But there's nothing in the safe nowl Even the door is unlocked" said Claire, diSappointedly. "It might make Q fine prison for ED, but"
 "He said he heard me in the tunnel" Pat took the torch and went over to inspect the outside. "why, of course he did - see herel"
 Only a thin wall of earth sepa- rated the secret room from the other cut where Pat had dug his way out of the old mine.
 And we're still directly under the house, the library and the cupola side" Pat went on.
 DO you suppose this is where he hid his wonderful jewel2" Claire looked about her rather blankly.
 "Yes," Bob Steele answered posi- lively. He had been examining one | of the walls. "See here, and there7 There's no telling how pure this stuff will run. Your uncle's jewel was 6 gold mine, Claire, and what e minel"

be enforced on any market unless
there is a demand for it as shown in a

Board of Elections Has
Meeting, Awards Work
on Printing Job

Ballots to re used in the Demo
cratic primary of Saturday, June g.
went to the printer today, and 5000
of them will be provided
The County Board of Elections met
at noon and opened bids, submitted
by local print shops, and awarded the
work to the Henderson Book Com
pany printing department as the low
bidder.
The board is composed of three
members, A. w. Gholson, Jr., chair
man, and w. B. Daniel, Jr secretary,
both Democrats, and John F. Hicks,
member representative the Repub-
lican party.
1t is expected that the vote to be
polled in the coming primary election
will be perhaps the largest in the
history of the county for any primary
balloting. Two years ago slightly more
than 5000 votes were cast. Some es-
Inmates are that around $500 and
possibly even more, may be cast this
year, if election day brings favorable
weather to permit a large turnout of
voters.
The elections board is providing
what it considers is an abundance of
ballots for the voting, and these will
be distributed among the precinct
election officials some days before
the primary so that all may be in
readiness for the balloting.
