Brennon was forced to ahoulder all the blame, and his reward for hia assistance to Mallin son was prison bars. Ruth immedi ately got in communication with her home and informed Eugene Craig that the waa safe and that sue would be home in a very short time. Mallinson determined to sow new seeds into the girl's mind, knowing that Craig must now have the plans In his possession. "It is known that you own Haunt ed Valley, and that 1 hold it as security for a loan," Mallinson con fided. "I suspect that a powerful enemy of youra has discovered something of tremendous value, and that he ia determined to obtain control of the valley. Such a man would halt at nothing to gain his ends. Knowing that you might for feit the valley to me, he has In cluded me in his attacks." "Why, that Is highly improbable I" the girl exclaimed. "Oh, I don't know I Look at all the perils you have encountered re cently. What I'd like to know is, who is this man Craig? Where did he come from? Doesn't he seem to know all your plans and projects?" "If it were Craig," Ruth replied, "why should he take violent means to steal the plana from me tonight when he had access to the plana al ready and knew their contents?" "To hide his band," answered the clever Mallinson. As they drew up before Ruth's home, Craig aaw them alighting. He decided to conceal himself and await developments. But before leaving the room, be took the plans from the table and carried them with him. As the new arrivals entered, Ruth turned to Mallinson and said, I believe the only value to Haunt ed Valley lies in the possibility of Irrigating it. I shall be glad to show you my plans." The girl led Mallinson into the living room. Craig was gone. Ruth glanced Juickly around the room. The rench window was open. As the girl's eyes turned to the hearth she aaw some papers smoldering. Ruth cried out and picked up the burnt corners of the plans the rest were in ashes. "The only copy of the plans is burned," ahe cried, "and Mr. Craig it gone! What does it mean?" This was Mallinson's moment of triumph. A shrug of his shoulders teemed to lay, "What did I tell you?" Ruth wat considerably up set. She hsd trusted Craig and was getting extremely fond of him. She told Mallinson that the wanted to be left alone. Vivian Delamar was hiding be hind a French window and was Keatly relieved when ahe aaw allinson leave Ruth. As soon as Mallinson departed, Craig entered the room. "I waa afraid you would show the plans to Mallinson, he explain- , "so I made a little Are of fold ed. ed newspapers and added these torn corners to make It realistic" Kutn was bewildered when the young man handed her the blue-prints. She didn't know what to think of him. AU this was taken In by Vivian, who hastened to overtake Mallinson and Impart the information. Mallin son decided to do a little spying on bit own account, and with Vivian he took up a position at the window. As they watched, a cowboy enter ed the room and approached Ruth. "I picked this up' he said, "In Haunted valley, out i couian t nna the connecting wires." He un wrapped the parcel and disclosed a radio headpiece. Mallinson was ter ribly alarmed as no observed tnis from his spot. "Things are coming our way at last," Craig said. "You go to the valley in the morning, Ruth, and trace up thla radio outfit. I'm going to tee Brennon in hia cell and force him to talk." Mallinson realized that he must let quickly, to by the time that Craig reached the cell, Brennon had already received his instructions. "There it secret room on the tame floor at the Ranger offices," be Informed Crelg. "You might get a clue there. I know very little nf the n ot mvself." Craig wai de lighted and left the ipot in cheery Dood, That night, Mallinson and one ol hit assistants were mysteriously busy in the secret office installing the radio spectroscope apparatus. But when Craig came down the dark corridor with a flashlight and opened the door, he found it de serted. However, through a tiny aperture in the next office, Mallin son was watching every move the young man made, and was ordering his men to start the machinery. Mallinson's object waa to photo graph an image of Craig by means of the radio spectroscope so that he could later project it wherever he desired. Craig discovered the radio set in the office just as Mallinson had planned and the young man losi no time in placing the headpiece tc hia ears. He heard nothing, but sat down and decided to wait, hoping that he might pick up a message. Dawn found Ruth Ranger and the cowboy in Haunted Valley. The latter was showing Ruth the spo where he found the radio telephone Then the search commenced, with the cowboy gradually straying far ther and farther away from the girl- Meanwhile, in Mallinson's secret control room, that gentleman's henchmen were watching the valley earnestly. As they saw that the cowboy had left the girl'a side, they decided to carry out the orders ol their chief. Suddenly Ruth was amazed U see the image of Eugene Craig pro jeered before her eyes. He didn'i appear to see the girl, but movec furtively about. Kuth could not un derstand hia presence and her old suspicions of nun returned, 5h decided to follow the young ma. and tee what he waa up to. But ii the meantime, Craig, in the flesh had waited all night in the hopes o, hearing a message that might re veal the secret of Ruth's enemies and had finally fallen asleep, hi: head on the desk. Ruth, pursuing the phanton Craig, was sure that the young mat was guilty of plotting against her. She saw him suddenly take a radii headpiece from its hiding place, jus as ne aia in tne secret office, snJ then disappear into a grotto. Ruth followed him into the darkness of the tunnel. The control men lost no time in working the levers, and suddenly Kutn was precipitated into a secret chamber, and a heavy grating shui her in. She called to Craig for help, but there was no answer. She was trapped I A thin trickle of sand was falling down from above, but the girl did not notice it in her anger of Craig. Mallinson was informed immedi ately tha thia orders had been car ried out He assured himself that Craig was atill a prisoner in the secret office and then hunted up Vivian Delamar to give new orders. Meanwhile. In the underground prison, Ruth discovered food and water, but the falling sand had al ready made quite a pile on the floor and the girl realized that the sand would slowly but inevitably fill the tiny room. All her efforts to stop It were of no avail In the secret office. Craig awak ened with a sudden start. He was still wearing the radio headpiece, and was startled to hear Kuth cry ing: " Help! Help I" It brought mm to nit senses instantly. "Ruth I Ruth!" he shouted, "When are you?" The land had now Inundated her up to the armpits. "Have mercy, U-aigl" Ruth screamed. "You are killing me! Hurry, or you'll be too later Craig was frantic. "Ruth, tell me where you are I" he cried. "How hall I help you?" At that moment, Mallinson step, ped Into the office through the secret panel. He seized the wires from Craig and tore the connections from the wall. "What it the meaning of this?" Mallinson shouted. "What evil work are you up to now! Craig was beside himself with rage as he realized that the villain- out Mallinson had cut him off from Ruth. He launched out and struck hit enemy a terrific blow, but was suddenly aelied from behind tnd thrown to the floor. "Ruth," he murmured. "Save Ruth!" &To be- continued) Proper Housing Means More Profit In Hog Raising The Hog needs protection more than most domestic animals, Da. cause it lacks natural protection, and is very susceptible to the influence of cold, heat and drafts.
