precipice on each side.
Mark caught at Evelyn's rein to
draw her back from the overhangipg
and crumbling promontory on which
their ponies stood; and at that very
moment, sweeping up the road be-
hind them, they heard the rushing
sound of their pursuer's Alata. They
turned swiftly to the right, and
urged their ponies down rough
declivity.
The last of the sun dropped be-
hind the raw amethystine rampant
of the hills, and the air darkened
as though a thundercloud was over
shadowing them. The rushing sound
came up the mountain path like an
eagles wings - and then, in an in
slant, ceased completely. not as
when a car pulls up, but as though
it had suddenly vanished. There
was an interval of perhaps ten sec
onds. though it seemed intermin-
able; then. from below in the gulf,
a muffled conclusion, so dull and
distant that they could hardly hear
it. After that - only an intense
silence.
For one, two, three minutes they
stood, looking at one another and
listened intently; but there was no
sound. Then they dismounted, teth-
cred their ponies to a sapling oak,
and stole quietly back to the point
where the road ended and the abyss
began.
The dark cloud moved away from
the west as they reached the level
ground. and the sky was suffused
with glowing color. They saw clearly
what had happened to Mardok. The
changes of light over that dark preci-
pice would have made it almost i'm
possible for him to see what lay
before and below him until it was
too late. The tracks of the Alata
went almost straight to the edge of
the abyss: At the very last moment,
it looked as if Mardok had tried to
turn sharply to the right, but some
thing slippery on the road had
caused the Alata to slither. for it had
gone over at an angle. A great piece
of the overhanging promontory had
broken away and gone down with it
into the gulf. Glistening green across
one of the wheeltracks was the slip
perry body of dead snake.
NEITHER Mark nor Evelyn had
known where their mountain road
was leading them; but the words
Balneum Regis and Bagnorea had
come to their lips as soon as its un-
imaginable beauty and terror had
opened out before them. The abyss
might be dark as any circle of the
Inferno; and that strange hill
crowning city in the center, which
still caught the last of the light, had
indeed been incorporated by Dante
in his epic
Hand in hand, Mark and Eve
stood looking at that famous walled
city, across the abyss. This is the
way we were meant to come" said

hand. until it began to wind through
the wilder woods and rocks of tufa
among which they could, if neces-
sary, take cover at a moments
notice.
In two minutes or less, they heard
that unmistakable sound of the
Alata - like the rushing of wings -
along the main road below them. 1t
stopped somewhere near the place
where they had left their own car.
Mardok was evidently investigat-
ing; but he did not delay long. In
half minute they heard that formi-
dable rushing sound again. 1t swept
along the main road toward Orvieto.
Mark drew deep breath of re-
lief. But Evelyn had no illusions
about this enemy. Quick" she
cried, leading the way up the hill
side. "He will soon know that he's
on the wrong track, and then he'll
come back and look for U.S."
HER respite was longer than she
expected. At the next turn of the
road they came upon some farm
buildings, near which mixed COM
pany of goats, mules and two hill
ponies were busily pulling rick of
hay to pieces. The ponies turned
their heads and stared at Mark and
Evelyn, then with a whinny of pleas
ure trotted up to them. Mark had
an apple in his pocket which Evelyn
divided between them, while he
searched the buildings for saddles
and brides. They were soon mount
ed and clattering up into the hills,
between crags and oakwoods, at
pace which gave them a new hope
of outdistancing their pursuer along
that rough road.
In about an hour, the winding
road Strengthened itself out for
twenty yards, then came to an
abrupt end. at the brink of dark
abyss which might have been one
of the CULTS of the Inferno. 1t was
the prodigious crater of Balneum
Regis, as awe-inspiring in its dark
blue depths as the Grand Canyon.
From the center of this profound
circular gulf rose a towering hill,
monstrous column of volcanic rock.
crowned by a walled city. which
clasped its topmost crags and riveted
itself into their savage clefts like a
fortress. The only road to this amaz-
ing city seemed to run along a mar
row strait of rock which - from
where they stood - seemed hardly

showdown in collection service, he
said, was a lack OF containers in
