Talley, or the disappearance of
Sharkey. However, Craig advised
her to have the entire valley search
ed the next day to see if the mys
terious forces operating there could
be discovered.
The search was made under the
direction of Craig, and nothing was
discovered. The your.g coupie next
decided to go ahead with the scheme
of irrigating 'the valley, hoping in
that way they might discover some
thing about the fabulous wealth
turned at by Sharkey.
At his ofhee the next afternoon,
Henry Mailinson was engaged in
deep throught. Vivian Delamar,
deeply in love with the man, watch
ed over him anxiously, wondering
what his next move might be. The
loss of his one confidential man.
Sharkey, had lead Mailinson to send
for Brennon, the office manager of
Ranger, Inc. At that moment bren
non entered.
"So you have decided to accept
my little proposition Mailinson
asked, looking up at Brennon. "Of
course, you understand you must not
let it interfere with your connec
tion with the Ranger outfit." Bren
non nodded. "You can have Shark
ey's old office for our private con
Terences," Mailinson added. "You
must never come here openly
again.
"I think 1 understand you, Mr.
Mailinson, brennon replied
"Several days ago," Mailinson
continued. "Miss Ranger discovered
an underground stream of water in
Haunted Valley. Do you know if
she has any plans or intentions in
trvine to irrigate the valley .
"Indeed she has. Plans have al
ready been drawn up and they were
delivered to her this morning."
"Then your first job is to get
those plans," smiled Mailinson. "It
would be fatal to my schemes to
have her put a force of workmen in
Haunted Valley at this time. Get
those plans as soon as possible."
While this was going on, Ruth
snd Craig were in conference with
Weatherby in the offices of Ranger,
Inc. The girl learned that all the
engineering projects were advanc
ing briskiv, so that full attention
could be gKen to Haunted Valley.
Ruth decided that the next thing to
do would be to look over the plans
far the irrigation work.
At that moment, Brennon entered
from Mallinson's office and hasten
ed to the v?ult where the Ranger
papers were kept. As he was about
to extract the plans, Ruth entered
and courteously and without sus
picion explained that she was just
on the point of getting the plans
herself, as she had intended to
study them that evening, brennon
was at a loss what to do, but man
aged to cover his confusion.
Evening found Ruth and Craig
seated at a large table in the library
pouring over ihe plans. "When I
discovered the underground stream
1 thougut I had learned why Mallm
son wanted Haunted Valley. But
cow I guess were farther tip s tree
than ever, the girl declared.
Brennon had lost no time In get
ting in touch with Henry Mailinson
and informed him that Ruth had the
plans of the valley in her posses
sion. That MaHinson was disap
pointed is purling it mildly. Ho
ever, he immediately conceived s
plan to gain them for himself.
While Kuth and Craig were
studving the blue-prints, several
mvsienous figures were skulking
about the grounds, one of them in
feminine atiire. These figures
seemed to he busy carrving out a
prearranged plan. Two of them
burned lowurd the house, while two
of three others were stretching

Finally everything was ready and

the bidden wire and was thrown ta
the ground with s thud. Instantly,
men in hiding pounced upon him.
Ruth Ranger, discovering Craig's
predicament, rushed out to help him.
But the instant she left the house
by way of the window, the man just
outside stealthfly entered. Hs
wasted no time, but began stuff! nf
the blue-prints into his leather
portfolio. While this was going on,
another, on the ourside of the bouse,
cut the light wires and the house
was plunged in darkness.
I'pstairs, young Dinny was awak
ened by the disturbance. Rushing to
a window, he looked down on the
scene of action. Dinny saw that
Ruth and Craig were not havin
much difficulty with their adversaft
ies. but something else suddenly
caught his eye a man fleeing from
the bouse with the papers in his
brief case. Dinny made up his
mind in a jiffy. Swinging from the
window to the limb of a tree, be slid
down to the ground and chased
after the man. The youngster's
pursuit led to the next corner where
a car waited. Dinny hesitated for a
moment, then, as the car started off
he made a spurt and sprang to the
scare tire case on the back.
Dinny was a fast worker. Climb
ing up, he looked through the isin
glass window and much to his de
Ueht saw the sole occupant of -the
back seat was the brief case con
taining the blue-print In the wink
of an eve. Dinny had climbed
around to the side of the car, reach

The next moment saw him speeding
up the street as fast as his legs
could carry him, in the direction of
Ruth's home.
But the ourkriner of the blue
prints was not to be caught nap
ping, tjiancing arounu, nc saw iu
the bag was missing. He shouted
to the driver at his side and the car
came to a quick stop. Looking
hack, both saw the paiama-ciao
youngster dashing up the street for
all he was worth. Both men quick
ly abandoned the car and took up
pursuit. t j
As Uiany reacnea m iangi
grounds and pantingly sprinted to
ward the house with the precious
bag, henchmen who had remained
were seen furtively going into
ambush. And Dinny rushed straight
into their midst. He dodged the
first man, but seeing that he would
surely be caught, he hurled the bag
through a window of the house,
smashing the glass with a terrific
clatter.
Ruth and Craig, to the parlor,
heard the crash and rushed quickly
to the scene. They saw Dinny
twisting and squirming hi the grasp
of the heochmen. Ruth lost no time
in entering the melee. She seized
one of the assailants and whirled
him sway. His face was suddenly
revealed to her she was confront
ed by the trsstorous Brennon!
Brennon was new to sinister
tactics. At the sudden appearance
of his employer be knew that Us
end had come. In that awful
moment, be could have killed h r to
prevent the girl from denouncing
nim. Panickly, he seized Ruth and
slapped his hand over her mouth.
Dinny gallantly rushed to her as
sistance, but was hurled aside and
Ruth was borne, struggling, to the

Weakened by his injuries, Craig
tottered out to find Ruth and Dinny.
The girl had disappeared complete
ly, and Dinny lay Inert on the
ground. Craig, in his condition,
was at a lose what to do.
in .h meantime, the car with
Ruth a prisoner, whirled away Into
the night. Her captors saw that
every prevention to keep the girl
from making an outcry was em
cloyed. She was powerless.
But at a remote garage, a gentle
man paced back and forth, nervous
ly smoking a cigarette Mailinson.
Suddenly a ear whisked into the
plsce, plunged Into the "V

threw away hie cigarette and step
ped gayly toward the car, expect
