knew he could not break the well
curblng again. He would have to
make these handholds suffice.
He pulled himself up until his
chin was level with the top hand
hold, the toe Of his left foot in the
second handhold below. Bending
his neck backward to see ahead. he
reached up.
Except for the force that was
dragging him back, he might have
been lying on the floor Of level
wooden pipe. A few feet ahead Of
him was the nearest Of the ladder
rungs, seen dimly against the light
still out Of reach. The disk Of sky
was much larger and tantalizing
now. II he could only reach that
ladder rung. -.
His exploring fingers found a
cleat to which the broken ladder
had once been nailed. He gripped it,
pulled.
His problem now was to raise
his right foot, and he couldn't bend
his knee because he was fat
against the timbering.
He let 90 the cieat, came down
one handhold and leaned back
over the emptiness behind him
until he could shift his feet. Then
he tried again, slowly, carefully
reaching up, straining with his fin
gers. They found the .cleat. He
pulled, reached beyond, gripped the
ladder rung!
His relief was so great he almost
relaxed. Recovering. he climbed
the ladder, testing each rung as he
put his weight on 1t, thinking Of
the moonlit world ahead-to drive
out the fear Of the deep pit that
meant certain death to him IL any,
thing broke.
He made I'll He grasped the
bushes and pulled himself out.
Until his heart quieted he lay
still. OF the man who had tried to
kill him there was no sign. The old
Fletcher house was dark, around
it the brush and trees Of the hill
side, cold and colorless in moon
light.
Henry staggered erect and start
ed homeward. He wouldn't let his
legs give way until he reached his
own house. There he stumbled on
the porch steps and fell.
The door few open. "Henryl"
cried his wife. She knelt beside
him, put a trembling hand on his
head. Henry! You're hurt!"
Henry grinned at John Jones,
who stood open mouthed In the
doorway.

HENRY FLATTENED his back
against the side OF the well. The
rock that was dropped by the man
at the surface thudded at his fest,
MASKING the rotten wood.
Against the starlit sky the IN
known poised another rock. big as
his head.
Henry screamed, his dry throat
cracking. stop it! Stop it! You'll
kill me-"
That was what the murderer In
tended to do, Of course. The rock
left the exter ded hands, swelled
larger, crashed on the rock that
had preceded It Fragments of
broken stone tore against Henry's
shins.
Before the mailman at the top of

Henry leaped to the opposite side
of his small prison. There, In a
caved-in portion Of the wall, he
was protected by an overhang. The
rocks could not strike him directly
from above. but they could still hit
and crush him on the rebound.
A third rock splattered him with
singing pieces as 1t shattered. A
fourth rock bounded of the third
ard struck the wall beside his
trembling knees.
Henry saw no hope. The man at
the surface could keep on dropping
rocks until he filled the well.
Even IL Henry could have seen
the rocks, he couldn't hope to
dodge them forever, and he couldn't
see them except for moment as
their expanding silhouettes plunged
from the faint disk of light above.
Half way down the well they be-
came invisible, and the next he
knew Of them was their deafening
crash. exploding through his ear
drums.
Although the rocks fell at wider
Intervals as the killer had to search
farther TO find them, the deadly
bornbardment continued without
stopping.
Henry no longer was himself. He
was some elemental creature de-
sceHded- from a-eape man battling
unbeatable force. When a piece Of
breaking rock struck him on the
forehead he screamed more in rage
than in pain.
That scream caused the sIlhou-
.tte Of the man at the top Of the
we'll 10 stiffen as he leaned over
the edge, listening.
A sudden craftiness came over
Henry. He screamed again.
The man against the sky waited,
listening for confirmation that his
last rock had hit its target in the
black. deep pit, Henry groaned
realistically.
But the murderer was not sat
lsfied. He brought more rocks, and
after he dropped each one he lis
Tened again. Henry made his
yroans fainter and fainter. Finally

helpless little clerk was beginning
to hope that his enemy had gone
away-when suddenly clatter OF
pebbles and falling earth came
down the WE'LL
Henry looked up In dismay. The
man was welding a shovel. Ger
tain that he had killed his victim,
or at least rendered him uncon-
scious, the murderer was going to
bury him!

against one side Of the well. He To-

his shoes. His would-be grave filler

to reappear over the mouth Of the
well. Seeing nothing Of him, Henry
decided he must have gone away
The last Of the loose earth found
its resting place. All was quiet
The flashlight was buried deep
under the rocks and earth, but the
moon was up far enough to take
its place, shining part way down
the shaft Of the well and revealing
the broken ladder. The lowest rung
was not far beyond Henry's reach
now. He climbed the sloping pile OF
earth and reached as far up the
curbing Of the we'll as he could
stretch. Only a few feet more. II

curbing as handfolds :.

gouged out the splinters and the

II was hard work and he was

a lead weight. The fingers Of his
left hand slipped from the wood. He
tumbled backwards.
The earth he landed on was soft
and wet. He was not hurt, but as he
sat up more sick than stunned he
knew that he must get out OF the
well quickly or he would never get
out. His weakness frightened him.
He sat there for five minutes,
resting, then climbed the pile Of
earth again. He moved slowly, de-
liberately. He realized that he must
