In the Ultini dark ness outside he could tee the ga- race and its gay weainer vane. and behind it, the trees of a grove. "Marta, will you please go DacK to your room,' bianey begged. God knows wnal may happen next." - . "No. Sidney, i win not. i n as keen to see this through as you are. A bullet holds no terror for me. Not now." "All right, stay close, men." On the floor below, they picked up a trail. Damp prints of a man's feet led from the fire escape in Jie vacant room to the door of Adam Langdon's chamber. If it hadn't been pure inven tion in Craig Gundrum's mind, I'd believe that wild story of a map hidden in Adam's bedroom," Sid ney said. For the third time since the murder he crossed the threshold of his dead friend's sleeping quar ters. Here the footprints ceased. Either the maker of them had taken off his wet shoes or the soles had been wiped dry by his walking. Wishing with all his heart that Marta had remained in the safety of her room, Sidney looKed cau tiously about. The intruder had' vanished. Noiselessly, Braitwood tried the door leading into Pat's room. It was locked. He looked in the closets. They were empty of all save domes. "He must have come in here," Marta said. "Hugh told me there is a w.y of getting into a passage that leads up to the roof and down to the Jungle, through this fireplace. Have you ever heard of it? She shook her head. On the table was a reading lamp with a long cord. She lighted it and, kneeling, held it up to the flue, "There is an opening here, Sid ney." shes aid. "It looks like a sliding door. ' It's about the size of the entrance to a dumb waiter. , Eaglerly, Sidney pushed himself Into the wide chimney. "Take the stairs, Sidney. You may be going into a death trap,' Marta begged. , "If I go by the stairs, I can't see what the fellow is up to. He must have gone into the Jungle1 for reasons of his own, and hell nave no idea that anyone but himself knows of this passage. I'm taking the chance." He reached the opening with little difficulty. The door had evi dently been left open so that who ever had descended could return, but no person was in the passage now. There was no sound of movement below, though the strong odor of chloroform persist- ro. mere were rungs on the side of the wall, so that descent win not difficult and the width ap peared ample. Danger lay in the man below starting back before Sidney had completed the descent He would have to go feet first. The other fellow would be looking up' at a clear target for a shot Sidney had descended Derhani half way when he became aware that someone had entered the passage above him. Marta, he told himself. It could be no one else. She would have screamed had she been surprised. She could only hamper him but there she was. He had expected to find the I Tungle lighted, but here. too. the iignts nad Deen extinguished, though a graying dawn amelio rated the darkness. He eased him self noiselessly into the great fire place in the center of the museum. drew a breath of relief. He could now see the shattered door, the I world of wild life; the simians, how human they appeared; the I great elephant, the lioness, the I collection of weapons. But of the man who had preceded him down the ladder there was no trace. Silently he moved forward to make room for Marta to descend. For a moment the two stood there, their eyes searching. Presently I Marta pointed at the great ape near tne door. The man-like creature had een mounted on its hind legs with its low-browed, grotesquely frowning face glaring toward the door. Its long, hairy arms were uplifted. I inewy fingers curled toward palms. In the gray light, the figure at first appeared slightly thickened, but as Sidney continued to stare he saw what Marts' keener vision I had already detected. A double I shadow slanted from the animal. (To Be Continued) IP jjl II PV)RENCE news FLORENCE, Nov. 13 (Special) Edmond W. Case, water super-1 intendent at Newport, was here!
