"Marta, will you please go DacK

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

peared ample.
Danger lay in the man below

have to go feet first. The other

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

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.
