 "Echol Echol" he called, be. cause he had heard one.
 A faint repeat of 1t shot back at him.
 'That means we're in . pretty big room, with some sort of hat wall opposite" he told Lissa.
 They tried to crawl toward it, but they came repeatedly to the drop.oR--the ledge over which the lantern had fallen. Or per- haps another like it, they couldn't be sure.
 Bob threw some rocks. Many ot them hit and bounded, hit and hit again, rolled and were quiet. It must be . long way down, some- where, the boy and girl agreed.

 They listened, but the phrases were too long. Only pumble of noise reverherated. They sat si- lent, in increasing if uHspoken despair. holding hands again. A second or 50 passed. Then
 'Heyl Heyl"
 A faint sound, on exclamation, came out of the darknesel
 Bob felt 'Lissa become tense. knew she had heard it too. Ills own heart was pounding.

 It came back but 1t was too long for an echo: "eh.eh-ehi"
 It was unnatural, weird. Bob strained to determine tho direc. ton. "pray God It's coming from abovel" he said, squeezing 'Lissa'a arm. Tt may Do help from up there, just eoholng and seeming to come from below uSl"
 It may have been but -- 1t wasn't.

 She was sobblng, and he held her close. He shut his own eyes, tightening his muscles trying to regain control.
 He knew their trouble. He had heard of hallueinationS that Do. deviled people facing slow death from hunger and thirst. Thirst takes rapid toll in the arid west country. Bob'S own tongue felt very thick and his legs were weak, How much moro LiSsa must Do suffering, he knew.
 Unashamedly, then he kissed her, and she kissed him back.

CHAPTER xv

Bob and Mary Melissa had com. uletely lost not only their sense of direction, but any sense of time. The absolute darkness In which they were living made sane, normal thinking almost impossible.
 q would say we've been here anywhere from i2 to a hours" Bob guessed. "But it might just seem that long, and really Do less"
 They dared not separate more than Q few feet, lest they be lost from each other. And they dared not move save by crawling and feeling with their hands, lest they fall and be killed.
 "ftll be something to tell our grandchildren" suggested 'LlsSa, trying to Do brave. "A real ad. venture"
 "oorrect," agreed Bob. Neither added the If" which was upper most ir their minds.
 There had been no more kisses, after the first one. 1t was sue premeiy delicious to Bob, but he he'd asked it in c spirit more of cctnradeship than of love, doing the best he could to boost her spirits. It had been Q lingering kiss. And 1t had been warmly returned. He had wanted to kiss her again and agAln-to hold her flercely and pour out the declara- ton Of love which had suddenly enveloped him. But he must Do fair. He couldn't take advantage of the girl under stress of circun,. stance Ike this.
 The thought made him 0 bit more formal for half hour or 50, but their mutual danger soon enveloped them. Then he tried singing.

 His big baritone filled the un. seen auditorium. Tho novelty of it caused them both to laugh. which was well, Llssa clapped her hands, entered into tho spirit of it

 He kept up the stiffness, because it diverted them both. It was nevertheless fantastic, there In the cavern. Somehow they couldn't force the blacknesS out of their oonsciousness, even by play. Bob was talking and singing very loud.
 when they were both weary, he suggested that they try to sleep. They lay prone, touching each other for consolation, and were still for perhaps two or thFoe hours. And although neither ae. tualiy slept, strength was restored.

 The ''gnawing" waS rather acute, rightly enough. Moreover Mary Melissa and Bob had the ex. trenie added suffering of thirst They didn't mention it, but each found it difficult even to swallow the bite of chocolate candy.
