PAu. wna \ THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES. MONDAY, NOVEMBER b, "A New Absorbing Love Story of the Air- "SEA WINGS" CHAPTER 16 ; It was a rather sorry trio that sat on the beach, trying to con. [ the rents in tattered clothing and the unpressed disorder of shirts. "Well, mine host hasn't given us any directions," Joan put in after they had been waiting for nearly an hour, "Do you suppose the thing is a joke? Ivor, Art--did you--could you do such a thing? I know you fooled me with the note!" : "No!" Both swore innocence and Joan was forced to believe them. They were listening intently for a crackle in the bushes--something that would make them believe they had not dreamed the invitation. Joan took the note from her poc- ket and. read it again by the light of the fire. Another hour passed, Still no word no sound from the cliff or the jungle, "I'm starved. Should we eat wait?" Joan inquired, finally. "Let's wait," Art suggested. It was quite dark now, although they had no idea what the exact time was, Ivor said six, Art seven, and Joan, eight. "How do you {¥ppase mine host will let us know?" She asked again. Neither of the men answered. "I'm getting nervous," Art fidgeted after a while! "I think we should vive the revolver to Joan, with the me bullet." "Good hunch, Art," Ivor agreed. "I don't want it!" Art took the gun from his pocket and put it in her lap, "Now, Joan, if anything happens use it. We can take care of our- selves." The girl looked from one to the other. Then quietly put the gun in her hip pocket. The waves were or leaping softly, as if they were tired, It was a relief after the mad, boom, boom of the surf. The tide was far out--the low- est they had seen. The sand on the wet beach ahead glinted in the faint starlight, Beside them was the Sky Maiden, a dark, dull thing now that 'the moon had not yet risen, "Gee, I'm hungry," Joan protested again, "Our host has very late din- ners. We usually eat when the sun- goes down." . "Hush!" Brooks warned, touching He drew his hand quickly away, They strained their ears, They heard nothing but the faint rustle of the palm leaves. ; Settling back again, Ivor was nervously her arm lightly. they waited, sifting sand TIME TABLES | CPR, TIME TABLE, New Schedule taking effect 12.01 Sunday, April 2 I A es 5.48 a.m. Daily, 6.23 a.m, Daily, 8.40 a.m. Daily except Surndsy, 4.35 pm Daily, 34 p.m, Dail except Sunday, 7. 10,05 a.m, Daily, 2.04 p.m, Daily except Sunday, 8.03 p.m. Daily except Sunday, 11,10 p.m, Daily, 12.09 a.m. Daily, All times shown above are times traing lepart from Oshawa Station, C.N.R, TIME TABLE Effective Sept. 30, 1028, Eastbound a.m, Daily except Sunday, a.m, Sunday only, a.m Daily. s p.m, Daily except Sunday, p.m. Daily except Sunday, p.m. Daily except Sunday, p.m, Daily, p.m, Daily except Saturday, .m.

Qi f BY BOB EDEN through his fingers, Art was tap- pi is knee with his fist, and Joan was lying on her back on the back the her two arms clasped under in the head. ; The stars were brighter sky, and the Southern Cross boldly outlined 'in the heavens seemed friendly, Someone tapped Joan's elbow, She looked casually at Ivor and Art, Each were buried in his own thoughts. The tap came again, and she looked back. She arose quickly a cry on her lips. Standing at her elbow was a black pigmy, a hea shorter than she, looking at her curiously, The small black man held a folded paper in his hands. Ivor, who was on his feet instant, grasped the per, Art peered over his shoulder as he stooped down to the fire to read. Only Joan was not interested, She was watching the pigmy, fascinated. Ivor read the note aloud: "Follow this man." The pigmy started away in the dis rection of the pool and silently the three consulted each other. Art motioned Ivor ahead, Joan followed and Collins brought up in the rear, None of them could imagine why the pigmy was making for the 1. There was nothing there. hey knew that well enough. Hadn't they explored all around it? owever, the pigmy went on quickly. He hardly made a sound as his bare feet padded over the brush and fallen leaves. Then the ool came in view. It was dark and forbidding in the night. - in an The guide circled the water, and went to the rock wall, His party followed dubiously. Ivor glanced at the cliff. Surely they couldn't get through it! The pigmy stopped at a big seam in the cliff, one which went straight from top to bottom. There were many such seams and crevices in the wall. So many rising up, that Ivor and Collins thought nothing of them, They rose, most of them, rib- bon-like to the plateau. This particular seam was like all the others to the three that {ol- lowed the pigmy. Slightly rounded by erosion, a trailing moss crawled up it td a height of about 20 feet, When the pigmy disappeared through it, the castaways stood dumb- founded, There seemed nothing to do but go on. But where? Ivor went first, slid past the seam as he had seen the pigmy do. His voice muffled by the cliff, came to the two who were waiting. "Stairs, here, Like a ladder. straight up, Slide through the cre- vice." The opening was narrow, but they Dales W.A.

The seam they saw was transformed into a shaft, much like one of a small elevator, Up and up they went, until they were breathless. It seemed as if the top would never come. They could see a few stars shining far ahead. The steps were steep--ladder like as Ivor had said. he shaft, evi dently a natural one, was quite nar- row, their backs touching one side of the rock mountain, "Steps cut in the solid rock," Art mumbled. "A fat man would have the dickens of a time wedging his way up here. He would be just out of luck." Then the top. \ trees waving in the distance, high bushes all around them, Still the pigmy went on, faster and faster toward the trees. There was a well trodden path through the brush. 3 Joan was desperately trying to keep up with their guide a pace, but after a while was forced to slow down. At last, panting she stopped and rested, "Where are we she asked hoarsely, winded from the climb, A flat plain, with and ty SIMCOE ST, NORTH Ivor called to the pigmy, who turned and waited. In a few min- utes Joan was able to go on. They reached a jungle but the traveling here was easy, on the path. The trees were entwined so tightly overhead that mot even the stars were visible, It seemed to the girl as if they were going through an overgrown arbor, A scurry ahead, and a dark shape fled into the trees. Another pigmy! And another Joan saw his eyes gleam as they went past, the whites glowing like moonstones. s Ivor tried to talk to the pigmy but the black man paid not the slightest attention, . "Doesn't understand or won't talk," he decided. Another turn and a small house loomed up in a grove of palms. A broad veranda surrounded it. A few dim lights gleamed from the wide en windows, which were without ss, The guide nimbly went up the two steps to the porch, drew aside a braided palm leaf mat that served as the door, and motioned them to enter, Joan exclaimed with delight as she entered the room, followed closely by the two men. "How quaint!" about. "And comfortable," Art added, grinning wryly as he recalled the make-shift hut he and Ivor had called home for nearly three months. | He eved the two low divans, softly] cushioned, which were the main items of furniture in the room, ap- parently a living room and library. Besides the divans there were two large chairs, fashioned of native wood, cushioned with braided palm leaf mats. Around the walls were tiers of shelves filled with books.

The trio stood, looking curiously around, vaguely uneasy as no one appeared to greet them, Their pigmy guide: had vanished, after ushering them into the place.
