The manufacture of corn cob
pipes usually known as Missouri
meerschaums was started in 1870 by
Henry Tibbe, a cabinet maker of
Washington, Mo. He was working in
his shop one day when farmer
brought in pipe made of corn cob
that had been followed out with a
knife and requested Tibbe to smooth
off the exterior of the bowl. The
farmer then inserted a reed stem.
In 1910 Tibbe's outfit, now known
as the Missouri Meerschaum Pipe
Co., and owned by E. H. Otto, sold
100000 corncob pipes.

asked. Did Miss Duprez return this

He went on, slowly crossing Par

let down, in a hard jolting way. and
he knew that he had an illusion
shattered. He would have to do
something about this. Since he be-
lieved that Stephanie was spy, an

throwing her bodily toward Phil

arm to keep her from falling. She
leaned against him, weak and shak-

And then Jim Mason hit him
The blow caught him hard on the

the arched opening in the thick
ancient walls. He stood a moment,
disturbed by suspicion and reluctant
to SPY on her, and that brief hesl-

went on. past the sentry and through
the gate, Stephanie had disappeared,
The beach ran east and west, and
the boat landings were directly
ahead of him. The thick lungle-llke

beach, on the shore side, and at
night it was dark, forbiddlng place.
He couldn't believe Stephanie had
entered the underground, so he went
to the boat landings.
She wasn't there on any of the
landings, and the tiedup boats
except for his own cruiser-Were

He boarded his cruiser and switched
on the cabin lights, but Stephanie
wasn't there. Puzzled, he switched
off the lights and stood considering
for a long moment. Then he went
back to the beach and tried to find
her footprints in the sand. But the
pale light of the moon was too dim,
and the loose sand was churned up

Phil turned east followed the
strip of sand, walking like a man
with a burden. He no longer con-
sidered Joan Hammond's suspicious
nonsense, but was quite willing to
believe in the girls melodramatic
imaginings.
He had followed the beach for
more than two miles when he came
to a flooded spot; a low rocky place
where the tide washed in over the
sand and up among the tangled
growth, forming a small bayou.
Stephanie wouldn't have Waded
through the water. Knowing
Stephanie, he knew that.
He went into, the brush, stepping
from hummock to hummock to avoid
water. The heavy atmosphere of
the glades was dank with stagnant
swamp. He could hear furtive move
ments, splashes. and several times
he saw tiny glittering red globes
and knew that alligators watched
him.
He paused. flnalyl, realizing that
he was merely skirting an uncross-
able bayou. Stephanie, if she was
