HONEY BEE GIRLâ€" Indian; member of Barry'i party. HADES JONES â€" pioneer: member Barry's party. « * • Yesterday: Having failed to win Bob, Honey Bee turns against kim with deep bitterness and the party faces a new complication. CHAPTER X Mary Melissa had already gone horseback riding. And both Holli- man and Hades Jones were away. Bob knew. Bob hastened back to the camp tents and called Honey Bee. "We will go alone," he told her. "Miss Lane is off somewhere. If you're right, there'll be plenty of time for all of us to see it." This perhaps was a stroke of luck for Dr. Robert Wilson Barry, even though he never realized it. His first thought to take Mary Melissa with them had sn hurt and infuriated the Indian girl that she might have done anything. She might have frozen up, in stol- id Indian fashion, and never re- vealed any secret she knew about Defiance Castle. But the red maiden was so in- fatuated, so thoroughly smitten by the unconscious charm of her employer, that she forgave him •when he couldn't find Melissa. After all, she would go up with him akine ! "I am read}-, Bawb,"' she saia simply. He made her climb the ladders ahead of him. He held her arm frequently, showing the gallant courtesy which any refined white American man would show any woman. But they were courtesies which rto one had ever shown Honey Bee. Bob's manner caused her whole being to tingle. He steadied the ladders at the hottom, while she climbed up. Then he would quiokly follow and hold the next ladder. She climbed nimbly. They reached the rock lip of the great cliff mouth in very few minutes. "Now!"' breathed Bob, still ex- cited. "Where, Honey Bee?" She smiled and led him through « low door of the castle, through two dim rooms into a. larger room. This latter must have been a clan leader's or chieftain's place. She pointed low on a wall. * « • The Door Will Be There Scraped there was the design of two rectangles, or "long iquares," with other odd mark- ings, and with a long triangle •round it all. The triangle poitittvi upward. "This points, I think, is thee top «f big cracks in thee ba<.'k wall," •aid Honey Bee. "Back in thee rock. It has been filled up. But thee door will be there." They hastened out to look. She pointed to a sort of natural tri- sngle, head hig'h or more, in the COLEMAN HOT PLATES DO BIG-STOVE JOBS Make and Burn Own Gas c:ivr city-likcirsi cookinsaerTic* ^ ' anywberv. Lieht tnctaDtty.

This had been a fault in the side of the mountain, a natural if small extension of the cave, and it had been filled in, probably by man. Boi) began working feverishly. He had can-ied his short-handled miner's pii'k strapped to his bel", and they had left more tools up here the day before. He swung at the rock in the triangle, a heavy blow with the pick point. Nothing happened. He swung at the rock again and again, eventually loosening one rock as big as his head. He re- moved it, but others w-ere behind. He slaved like a mad man, sweating and panting, for nearly an hour, while Honey Bee looked on. Then all at once his pick point drove through, and black space greeted him beyond. "Ee-yowl" he shrieked. "We've got it, Honey Bed Got something, at any rate.'' *Half an hour later the hole wr.s big enough for them to crawl through. He led the way and â€" as unconsciously as he weald extend his hand for that of a little child â€" he caught Honey Bee's fingers and escorted her inside the dungeon-like place. She said noth- nig. "I'm crazy," he suddenly an- nounced. "In the excitement be- low I forgot to bring a fla.«hlighT. But I Ifave a few matches." « * • A Shrunken Body He struck them, one at a time, surveying the dark inner room as best he could. It appeared at first to be a tunnel mouth. Then a weird object on a rock ledge caught his attention. "L'nh-unhl" he grunted, in dis- appointment, inspecting the find. "Aw-aw, Honey Bee, I'm afraid this -place isn't what we hoped it was. Look here." She went over to him. There before them was the prone body of a human being, in a wall niche, shrunken and apparently petrified with drouth and time, but a hu- man body nevertheless. "Honey Bee, I'm afraid we ha\ e just opened a tomb. Think for a moment â€" this is on the southwest L«orner of the main cave. The mountain behind here is solid, for over a mile, maybe two miles. See? It couldn't be a stairway, or exit. I might have reasoneii that out myself before coming. 1 get excited too easily I" He led the way back out of the darkness, and then he saw Honey Bee's face. It was a study in dis- appointment. Instantly Bob wns contrite. He had injured her feel- ings, when she had tried loyaLy to aid the expedition. He put his arm around her shoulders and patted her. The In- dians are a sensitive people, for all their stclidity, he told himself. "I'm sorry. Honey Bee. 1 didn't mean to appear ungrateful. Th:s is important as a tomb, even if it isn't an entrance. You are swell, really. You've helped mor? than anyone else so far. Don't think I won't remember it." * * • A Deceptive Wall He moved away from her. the better to survey the walled tri- angle through which he had dog a hole. Heavy stones had been fitted together thcr» with remark- able skill, with no mortar but by careful chinking and placing. It made a strong wall, and a decep- tive one. Virtually all of the aiioients. Bob knew, liked to keep their dead as near as possible to them, often in the very walls or floor of the home itself. In such a place as this diff «Jwellinir. maybe they 1>rpr. \\ D- ISSUE NO. 21â€" '40 QOUBLE ^roVati^' 5' had just set aside this ante^:oni as a tomb. It would surely bear careful investi.!?ation, photo- graphy and .study. His interests as an archaeologist were aroused again, .â- \neitnt people buried all manner of thin'gs with their lovod one.i and their leaders. He might make extremely valuable finds in- side thi.s high cliff dwelling tomb. "Don't feel disappointed, Honey Bee.'' he begged again. "It's very impottant. really. We'll come back and loo'ii into it thoroughly." He walked again to the hole he had cut, and leaned for a mo- ment on the rock thei-e, stariu^ into the deep darktiess, .speculat- ing as to the best method of pro- cedure. "Sa-a-a-ayl" he suddenly ex- claimed. An Entrance Tunnel? He leaned inward, sniffing. He turned his head this way and that. Quickly he struck a match atijl held the flame there in the open- ing. It flickered, and leaned out- ward. The smoke jwisted toward the main castle masonry, and dis- appeared outside. "Ch-ristmas!'' Bob was excited again, like the boy he was. "There's a draft here, a heavy pull of ah-, Honey Bee. Maybe this is an entrance tunnel after all!" He turned to the girl, his face shining with elation.
