 Helena smiled. NO, don't think I'd do that. Why couldn't I turn it back to the employees? Give them stock according to the length of time they've been with Henderson'g. You and Mir.

 Lassiter grinned. "1snt that enoughp

 '1ao," the banker told her fatty. ''That's just good business. You never destroy good will with legiti- mate business practices"
 ~But had another reason, Mfr. LasSiter. Just before I came to tho store this afternoon Leah Fra zier called on me. She threatened to boycott the store, and to urge alI her friends to do the same. wanted to beat her to 1t, make her and her friends feel that HenS derson's isn't anxious for the type of business they have to give" ,.
 Courtney brought the car to the curb before Helenas apartment. "You don't need to go Up with me- she told them. "1ll see you both tomorrow = and thanks so much for your help and encour- agement."
 The two men watched her to the door, then turned to face each other. "shes certainly got the stuff" exclaimed LaSSiter admir- 1ngly.
 The lawyer nodded. There's no better" he admitted. But LaSSiter, you know she's going to have one hell of Q time in this town"
 "Yes :" said young LaSSiter slowly That's true"
 If Helena realized how difficult the task before her was going to be, she gave no sign of it when she walked briSkly to Henderson's Dee partment Store next morning at 6. Gmartly yet demurely turned out in Q dark suit with tiny white frill at the throat, she hurried down Main street. Reaching the store building, 1t occurred to her that she was early ---and that she had no key. "1 should have got one yesterday she 'scolded herself. But, then, it'll be sort of amusing to walt and have someone let me in."
 She did not have to walt long. As she stood before the curtained doors q young man barged suddenly into the entrance way and almost coilided with her. His own embar- rassment succeeded in hustering Helena. Clumsily he raised his hat. Good morning, Mrs. Henderson ." He stopped, reckoning, TT recognized you from yesterday. I'm Harvey Jameson, in charge of the hardware department"
 Helena extended her hand Good morning, MT. Jameson Would you mind letting me in? I'm afraid I neglected to get a key to the building"
 "Of course" he said.

Patricia, Sarie and Sandy. They
gasped in amazement at the size of
the stones - worth several fortunes!
I'm going to report the location of

register these stones - after divide
with you all and Ernest, said Michael.
He overrode their protests. ITS the
only thing to do This has been a sorry
business so far, and l, for one, have
had enough risk and trouble"
Patricia was the first to agree. For
herself she asked nothing but the hap
piness of being with Michael - al
ways. And now this had become pos
sible.
Sandy and Sarie had their dreams.
too - dreams which were woven
about each other, and a future - to-
gether. And as they smiled into each
others eyes they knew the reality
would be sweeter far than their dreams
had ever been.
The low hills surrounding Zwart-
veldt came into view. The adventure
was over. Two had lost their lives in
the dangerous search for John Thomas
Longs secret valley diamonds. The
others had endured untold hardships.
The picture of these tragedies and suf-
ferings would never leave the memo
ries of the six survivors. But the
future wore a bright promise which
would do much to heal their sorrow.
Had they not youth - and wealth -
and love? Yes, in spite of everything,
thought Michael, as Cornelius brought
the plane to rest in its former camping
place outside of Zwartveldt - in spite
of everything the adventure had been
worth while.

he nor his men dared move.
Cornelius ordered Michael to get
into the plane with Patricia and Sarie
Sandy, meanwhile, thoroughly searched
the wagon. He returned with two
more guns and some ammunition.
II think I've cleaned them out" he
said. There's still some ammunition,
but without guns that won't be much
good to them"
Fine. Let's CO." Cornelius and
Sandy climbed into the plane while
Philbeach and his men watched in
helpless rage.
AS the motors sputtered and then
roared evenly, the great plane swung
heavily around, bumped over the un-
even ground for some yards, and then
lifted into the air - mounting higher
and higher into the clear blue sky.
Going to fly over Ernest before we
head for Zwartveldt," Cornelius
shouted to Sandy who sat beside him.
Good idea." Sandy shouted in re-
ply. Within few moments the plane
swooped low over the place where
Ernest's wagon could be seen already
crawling slowly southwards. Ernest
waved his arms wildly.
"He understands" Sarie cried ex-
citedly. Cornelius nodded, smiling.
The plane rose again in great wide
circle and then headed towards the
south - and civilization.
In a short time those in the plane
would be at Zwartveldt where, within
ten days, Ernest would rejoin them.
Philbeach could not harm Ernest even
if the two parties did meet. because

They took turns riding jamie to

they alternated in walking her through
