our confidence. When I was going
through Stephen Billiards. papers
the other day, came across an old
map that he had made when he was
a young man here In Fairbury. 1t
seems that he discovered not only
the entrance to the cave which
everyone uses, but also another one
opening on the opposite side of the
mountain. For his own reasons,
Stephen must have decided to keep
the second one secret. And to hide
the opening within the cave, he

about it and we decided to do a
little exploring ourselves to see If
we could find any evidence that the
police had overlooked"
Did you bring the map with
you?" Storm asked.
ives. I have it here" Kenyon
took the yelloWed document from
his pocket and handed it to Storm.
Storm surveyed the map carefully.
III take charge of this from now
on" he declared, land while your
desire to solve the case is very COM
mendable. I think the police are
competent enough to conduct the
investigations. Besides, Sheriff Hum
phries might misunderstood your
presence here. And your retention
of the map might easily come under
the head of withholding important
evidence. But here: If you'll give
me your word of honor that you
won't mention the secret entrance
to anyone, I won't tell HUMPHREYS
about your-er-unofficia visit to
the cavern. Do you agree?"
It's a bargain" Joan and Paul
said simultaneously.

suspicious of the guard at the main
entrance, suppose you go out the

the old mountain trail, breathing
deeply of the whiny mountain air.
The last stage of his journey led
over a cliff that skirted q deep ra-
vine. Storm had already caught a
glimpse Oh the miners log cabin
when his attention was attracted by
unmistakable signs of a struggle on
the trail itself. On the very edge
of the cliff the ground was trampled
and some of the bushes had been
broken through. Storm made his
way quickly to the edge Of the
precipice and looked down. There,
in the deep ravine a Numbered feet
below him, was a blue-clad figure,
grotesquely sprawled in the attitude
of death.

"Oh, very WELL" said Kenyon. It
was APPARENT that he was crestfallen
over the failure of his project. He
led the way through the opening
in the chamber into a passageway
black as onyx. The electric torch
he carried swung an arc of yellow
light in the darkness and revealed
but family the rocky contours of
the passage they were traversing.
After lengthy interval the passage
opened on tangle of bushes and
tumbled rocks that had been cum
ningly arranged to conceal the en-
i trance.
Joan and Paul Chagrined.
Joan and Paul clambered out into
the open air and started down the
mountainside, making no attempt
to conceal their chagrin at the way
their adventure had turned out.
Storm watched them out of sight,
then turned and made his way back

these three enigmatic letters might
indicate the middle portion of her
name. In the light of his discovery,
her attitude of determined bellig-
erency took on a new significance.
But as he made his way toward the
main entrance of the cave, still an
other possibility struck him, and
he fastened to make his findings
known to Sheriff HUMPHREYS.
The sheriff promised to put his
men to work at once on the two
leads that Storm suggested, and
after stopping for a hasty lunch at
the local restaurant, Storm set out
at once to keep his appointment
with old John Coventry.
Because the day was such a per-
feet one, with white clouds drifting
slowly across a cerulean sky, and
because he wanted to sort out in his
mind the findings he had made SO
far in the case, Storm decided to
walk. Following the directions the
miner had given him, he started up
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1940-10-15

to the chamber. Following the d.
rections on the map, he swung the
rock that masked the entrance into
place and began a systematic search
of the cave. His efforts were re-
warded a half hour later when he
discovered in natural ledge Of the
rock, between two stalactiteS, a
small leather sheath.
Moving to a position directly
under the light, Storm examined his
find. Apparently, in the excitement
following the murder. the culprit
had thrust it out of sight, fearing to
be found with it on his person and
hoping, no doubt, to come back for
it later. But the police Gordon that
had surrounded the cavern ever
since had prevented the criminal
from doing so unless-Storm toyed
with the thought-that had been
the purpose of one of the young
people he had surprised in the
cavern that morning. 1t was quite
possible that the motives of one or
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1940-10-15

both of them were not quite so
altruistic as they would have
wished him to believe.
Hoping to find some clue on the
sheath, he turned it over in his
hand, but there was nothing on
either side to reward his scrutiny.
On the inside of the scabbard, how
ever, his exploring fingers discov-
cred a tiny piece of paper adhering
to the leather near the opening Of
the sheath. Further scrutiny re-
vealed that this was the fragment
of some identifying mark that had
been torn off by hasty hand.
Three Tiny Letters.
Focusing his flashlight on the ad-
herring portion of the label, Storm
discerned three tiny letters-"uld."
At first they seemed to mean moth
ing at all to Storm who stared at
them with puzzled frown. Then
his eyes frightened with sudden
recollection. The maids name was
Hulda, and it was just possible that

said, stepping into the circle of
light.
For a moment the two young
people seemed frozen with surprise.
Joan was the first to recover her
speech.
Why did you come here?" she
cried, making no attempt to hide
the hostility in her voice.
Il think 1 might ask you the
same question: Storm said" and I
would have far more right to expect
an answer"
His eyes darted around the huge
chamber and came to rest in a far
corner where large slab of rock
swung outward on cunningly con-
trived hinges.

CARMEN RANCHO
By FRANK n. spEARMAN

Bowie was nonpIused. But Carme-
lita gave him no time to decide
what he ought to do. She wriggled
with all her strength-and this was
surprising for her size-almost out
of his arms and, when she failed to
free herself, looked up at him with
such mute pleading in her burning
eyes that he felt sure it must be all
right. Half laughing, he eased her
down into Monica's arms.
At this the smaller sister set up
such commotion that Pardaloe re-
leased her likewise and with her
short fat legs, not noticeably stiff
ened by her long ride, she dashed to
Monica.
Seems like they knowed her"
observed Pardaloe as the three men
watched the animated scene.
Bowie sat perplexed. "If we could
understand their lingo" he said.
"This woman certainly does know
them, and they know her. And
she's an Indian. She must be their
nurse-belongs to their family, any
way. Talk to her, Sirnmie."
But Sinmie's efforts to make the
woman understand his Creek or

forts to make the girls understand
English had been.
He tried his sign language. It
was a passport with any tribe east
of the Sierras, but not here.
With all three chattering at the
same time, Monica took the chill
dren down to the river, washed their
faces vigorously with only sand for
soap, talking excitedly while this
went on. The men had dismounted,
hobb1ed the horses and turned them
out on the grass that bordered the
banks, and made ready to camp.
Sinmie opened the reserves OF
venison. When Monica saw there
was no salt she ran all the way to
the half-burned ranch house and re-
turned with supply. It was mixed
with ashes, but to the travellers it
was more welcome than gold.
She brought, too, earthenware
cups and two loaves Of badly
scorched bread for the strange men.
It was ravenously dug into and raw
enously devoured by men who had
tasted no bread for weeks.
It was a happy supper for three
ragged, bearded and bronzed from
tiersnen, one keen-visaged and bus
ting Indian woman, and two deli
cately shy promises for California's
future womanhood. Monica seemed
to know even the horses. She talked
volubly to the children while she
patted on the neck the horse Bowie
rode. Inspecting the saddle and mo-
chila, her voice broke. Her eyes
filed, but she covertly brushed the
tears away lest the girls see them.
After the repast Bowie engaged
Monica in a sign conversation forged
of sheer necessity. She slowly sue
ceeded in getting him and his COM
panions to comprehend that these ru-
ms to which she pointed with Excess
sive grief had been her home and
the home of these girls, whence they
had been stolen.
In improvised mummery Bowie
asked what he should do with the
children. Monica made many ges-
lures, uttered and repeated one
word. sSan Diegol San Diegol"
Bowie shook his head in dissent.
''No, no, San Diego"
''But yes," urged Monica, adding,
''that is where their mother is"
Bowie understood 'sSan Diego"
but the rest was Greek, and he re-
fused positively to go to San Diego.
THAT" said he to Monica-though
she understood not at all-"is where
they like to lock up Tejanos and
starve them to DEATH No San Di-
ego"
His refusal she at last grasped.
Then with abundance of signs she
suggested place nearer.
"Misionl" she exclaimed. "Mis-
ionl" And pointed with much en-
ergy and with q vigorous finger
again and again to the south.
Bowie watched her closely. About
all he could grasp was her emphatic
earnestness. Her big hollow eyes
flashed, and appeal filed her voice.
He talked with his men; neither
could imagine the meaning OF mis-

and after some delay Bowie agreed
to accompany her to learn exactly
what she meant.

auce from Monica, were taken up
