She must go only she dared to ask Dan to help her! far u he could see. all aides of it were- firm anough. Apparently there was no sign of anything falling from abore. Wearily she started In again, and the Tery next stroke thudded with a different sound. Claira stopped in fright and listened. Deed silence. If there had ever been any movement or noise beyond that darkness, it cer tainly waa not there now. Half-tim-idly she dug farther. Now the crowbar waa eutting through an opening. There could be no doubt about that. Breathlessly tbe brought the lamp and held it close to the small place Where the sharp point or the instrument hsd gone through. bat was her astonishment to not darkness, as she expected but a dim, wavering radiance. She blinked ber eyea and looked again. It was gone. Then it bad been only her imagination. She carried the lamp back and started making the bole larger. After much effort ahe again brought the lamp, for now the opening was large enough to put her own head through. Carefully ahe moved the light ao that she could see for quite a radius In tbe gaping darkness. Apparently siie bad cut into mother small tunnel. The air seemed fresh and cool. Files of fresh dirt lay be fore her, and at oue side a piece of wood. Then she gave a stnrt. Some thing black was crumpled close to the wall just below ber. She turned the lamp so she could see, then gave a little cry. A man! Though he was so covered with dirt he looked hardly human. He was lyiug face down in the soft esrth. quite motionless. Claire wntched for - i-lf:-.l !.. i. Ki ll lerdiiru iuuuicui, luru b,whb iu mm, tnougn ner voice sounuea strangely cracked and unnatural. He did not move, so ahe reached her hRnd through and touched him on t'he shoulder. Vas it a corpse or had he juist dropped unconscious? She must go for help. Quickly Claire started to back out of the hole, when her atten tion was caught by another aound be fore her. She stopped, listening and holding the lamp ahead of her to throw as long a light ray aa possible. Some- j thing or somebody was certainly stir- J ring on the other side of the opening. Miiybe the man on the ground Without warning and for the sec ond time since she came to the House of Long Shadows, the lamp in her hand shattered into bits. There was a sudden runibliug, and then darkness closed about her. But not for long. Almost imme diately from behind her another circle of light swept the opening and there waa a deafening report. Olalre col lapsed in a frightened' heap. Then, finding she was not hurt, she turned to see Dan Dallas, flnBhlight in one hand, a still smoking revolver in tbe other. He leaped to her and drew her back into the cellar, being careful to keep out of range of the hole. "Hurt, Miss Fosdick?" "N-no. I guess not. But what ?" Claire began. "Another close call. Tou aren't due to be s-hot. evidently." His tone sound- ad relieved. Without wsiting for fur ther explanation, he crept back Into the hole, his gun ready. Ttnt now there was only silence. Then Susie's frightened voice called from the steps outside. "Dsn! What is it?" Claire ran to her and grasped the housekeeper's arm as she came down into the cellar. "Husur utaire com m.ndad tenselv. Still clutching Susie firmly, she dragged her forward and held her firmly against tne wau. After what seemed an endless wait, Dan crawled back. "He got away aErain." "But he was on the floor he didn't mora. I even touched him, Liaire "On the floor?" Dan turned and want hack into the opening. After listening for several minutes he cau tiously lowered his flashlight to the other aide of the hole and turned it on. "There's aomeone here. Can you hold the light for me while I make the opening large enough to drag mm through? Keep to one side. There wss someone else in there, too. This fellow didn't do the shooting because he's already dead." Then, seeing Susie. t you I r 1 mis vjj-nssus II ( t k M H ki uw.tmw.. IF ..t. y no i - - ' .
