 'No spook ever had to bo that cautious," Pat told himself, and started on again.
 As he rounded the curve that brought him to the edge Of the shale, he was astonlshed Co see the man in white vanish suddenly from sight.
 "WelI, I'll bel" Pat hurried across the sliding, sharp particles, every bit of his sense of balance brought into play to maintain his position on the shifting footing.
 At last he was over. Before him yawned the entrance to on old mine. Could this be what the arrow meant? Every claim in this part of the country was duly rec corded, as he well knew, 90 why the mysterious hokuEn on Lyman Fcsdick's part2
 The hole explained the disap- pearance of the man in white, however, Pat determined to inc vestigate further since he had come this fer.

 The entrance was still well tim bered, he discovered, as with the aid of e box of matches, and later Q clgaret lighter, he made his way along the damp passage. Once he thought he heard Q noise ahead, but could not be sure 1t wasn't Q bat. The walls showed unmis- takable signs of having been ex- cavated for mining purposes, though there didn't seem to be any cross cuts, as yet.
 Pats last match was gone, and he was afraid the cigaret lighter would give out. He decided to re trace his steps, and slipped the lighter in his pocket. He was cer- tain he could find his way back without it's help and he might use it,
 Strong arms seized him from behind, and he found himself in the grip of an antagonist as clever as he was muscular. After. the first shock of surprise, Pats fights ing Irish blood rushed to his res. cue. Twisting sharply, he managed to perk one arm free and plant Q blow that crunched tellIngly against firm flesh and bone. The thought flashed through his mind that at least he was not fighting 6 ghoStly enemy. Again and again he struck out in inky darkness, evading the ciutching hands that gouged ct his eyes.
 once for 6 brief second he gripped his opponents hand in his own and his mind automati- cally noted the fact that he would know this man if he ever met him again, for the little finger of that hand was cut of. This unknown was Q past master of oil the devil- ish tricks of an underworld flght- CT. Pat realized 1t was Q battle to the death. The blackness and si. lence added to the horror. He could be killed here without anyone being the wiser. Perhaps Eb--
 once again he landed e smash ing uppercut, then felt himself being battered backward along the sliny, rotting boards that formed the flooring o fthe tunnel. Desperate he braced himself, and tried to regain his lost posi-. ton. His foot stepped suddenly into space, and Pat felt himself falling down-down into darkness.

 Claire told her about Ebs mys- teFious disappearance. A grunt was Hannah's only reply. Then she added, "High time I was takin' c hand in things round here."
 "Xea. Best thing you do, Han. nah = take 6 hand in things" Susie shot her c venomous glance.
 No love had ever been lost bee tween the two women. That was why Claire seldom brought Han- nah to the house in the noun. taing. Now she hastened to smooth things over.
 "Better 60 on ahead, Susie, and get the north bedroom ready for Mfr. Steel"
 After the patient had been made as comfortable as possible and Susie had gone back to the kitch. en, Claire dispatched Dan Dallas for the doctor from the village. Then she told Hannah of ell the strange happenings at the House oe Long Shadows. Pat hovered over his friend, anxiously watching for any change in his condition.

 The U. s.
