NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY chapterT four INSPECTOR KANE glared at the young detective with warmth that was almost apoplectic. “Gone?” he bellowed. “What do you mean, gone? I left orders nobody was to leave the premises till they had permission. How the hell could they be gone?” Spence came wearily into the room and was hailed by the detective s “Hey!” he demanded. “You know anything abom this?” Before the butler could reply, Mr. Jupiter appeared in the doorway, leaning heavily on his stick. He was an upright, sturdy man of an amazing vigor and youthfulness for his years, which were nearly 70. But now his shoulders were bent a little, his jaw more laxly set. Otherwise, he seemed much the same. “Oh, Mr. Jupiter,” Inspector Kane said, dropping his voice respectfully. “We may be on the track of something. I hear one of your girls has disappeared, and a chauffeur with her.” The millionaire stared about the brilliant almost empty room, curiously; then made an obvious attempt to focus his mind on what the other man was saying. "One of the girls, eh?” His voice was flat and weak; to Mary the sound was almost unbearably shocking. a man’s grief is not pretty to see or to hear. “You looking for Bessie?” He cleared his throat; his voice seemed a little strange. “I sent her out wuth Tom over an hour ago, to send a cable. My son, you know,” he explained. “He’s in Europe. I wanted to let him know. They ought to be back by now.” Kane obviously was displeased, but it was plain he had no taste for reproving the old man. In spite of the fact that he just had come from the room where his dead wife lay, he seemed to be looking and listening for her. His eyes roved dully about the room; his nervous hand clasped and unclasped on the handle of his cane. “That’s O. K., guvnor,” the inspector growled. “Make a note of that, Hayes, and get their stories tomorrow “Everybody get to bed now' and I’ll be back tomorrow and pick up the loose ends. Anything turns up in the meantime, you’ll be informed.” A slight man wearing glasses murmured something in the inspector’s ear. and he turned to remind them. “You'll all be called for the inquest. Probably Saturday morning in the coroner's office. Don’t forget.” tt it tt THEY were all gone, and Mary and Dirk stood together at the bottom of the stairs, his arms folded about her, his cheek against hers. “I can't go up there! I can’t!” Mary shuddered. “You don't have to. Come home with me.” "Wc mustn’t rouse your household. No, I'll stay here. Eddie will call, and I don't want to rpiss him.” “Oi course. I understand. But you'll be all right? You W'on’t worry?” “I’m dead. I’ll sleep like a log.” To change the. current of her thoughts, and fer other reasons purely his own, he drew her to him and kissed her. Something still lay between them to be explained, though they had both all but forgotten it in the excitement of the last few' hours. But it might come to her mind again, when she was alone; and she had enough to worry her, poor girl, her lover thought, fumbling for the right words w'ith which to smooth the difficulty aw'ay. “I’m glad it was something really important that kept you,” he said at last, with grim humor. “Kept me?” “You said you’d be right back, but it semed like hours. I thought

I was stuck with Connie on my hands for life." x “So did I." Then, as the scene in the lower garden came back to her, “What on earth were you doing to her. anyway?” “I wasn’t doing anything to her!” “Then what was she screaming about?” “Ah,” his voice held the disgust of a male for all females and their Incomprehensible ways. “She said she was going to throw herself into .he pool. Two feet deep, and she mows it.” He looked down at his rumpled lie. “She got me all mussed up. For 2 cents I’d have pushed her in and saved her all the trouble.” Mary laughed at that, and rumpled his hair. “She must love you a lot.” “She loves herself. She’s a spoiled brat. Well, anyhow, she’s sailing to Florida soon.” “I hope she’s seasick.” “I hope she drowns." They grinned at each other. But Mary’s smile soon faded. There was too much on her mind. “Oh. Dirk,” she said, gripping his shoulder tensely, “I feel so guilty! I feel as if I’m to blame for it all!” “Nonsense! You mustn't feel that way!” “If I knew' where Eddie was ” Morning would tell—and it was almost morning. With Dirk’s assurance that he would go himself and try to solve the mystery of Eddie's disappearance as soon as he had had some sleep, she w’ent off to bed in a somew’hat calmer frame of mind. tt tt tt BY 9 o’clock next morning the telephone had begun shrilling. Newspapers, florists, men about the funeral arrangements, perfect strangers sure they had the murderer under observation, frightened parents of last night’s guests. The Jupiter murder was sure to be a seven days’ wonder. Two things made it so—the prominence and wealth of the Jupiter family, and the baffling nature of the crime itself. A cordon of police kept the curious away from the house, which was set far back from the street and protected from view by a high stone wall and tall shrubbery. But early in the day the street was clogged with automobiles, nevertheless, and one traffic officer’s sole duty was to keep them moving. When Mary came down after breakfast in her room, the house seemed to be swarming with strangers. Hordes of newspaper men had arrived on the scene shortly after daybreak and Mr. Jupiter immediately ordered that they be given the run of the house. Mary, meeting him in the hall, was amazed at the new' vigor that seemed to have come to him. His eyes glittered naturally as he stamped about, now and then pounding the floor resoundingly with his cane. Mr. Ruyther, Sr., was with him, and horrified beyond words at finding his old friend occupied in acting as guide around his ow-n premises for a flock of “pressmen.” “J. J., I beg you to let me attend to this!” Mary heard him appealing. “I’ll have this pack out of here in no time. Do you realize w'hat they’ll make of this? It’ll be plastered on the front page of every yellow sheet in the land!” But the millionaire was obdurate. “It’s all necessary. All necessary,” was all he would say. “Necessary? Who says it’s necessary?” the old lawyer demanded. “Inspector Kane. And I believe him. Ah, you don’t know how I feel, Ruyther! Give them all the help we can, Kane says, and in turn they’ll do their best to help us. “You never know, they may turn up something that will be just the clew we need." “Nonsense. They’ll just trample the place till there won’t be any clew's left. They’ll tell everything we know and a great deal we don’t know, and the criminal will know every move that’s being made to find him.” “You’re a lawyer, Pete. Kane knows best. He and his men were here at sun-up this morning, going over the grounds with a fine-tooth | comb. Whatever he’s found, he’ll keep his own counsel until he’s ready to give it out ” i The telephone again. Mary ran

to answer it, almost stumbling in her eagerness. But it was only Mrs. Ruyther, anxious about Dirk. “He hasn't come in yet. and I'm nearly frantic! Is he there, by any chance?” “He’s not here, but I'm sure it’s all right,” Mary told her. “He—he had some business that couldn’t wait.” “Well!” Mrs. Ruyther expelled an outraged breath. “It must have been pressing!” Mary began to anticipate what it would be like to be married to an only child. Dirk had gone immediately to look for Eddie, then. Crazy, lovable Dirk—he’d be dead for sleep. But he knew what would still her worry. and had gone straight after it at once. m m a THERE were papers of Mrs. Jupiter’s to be gone over. Mary, sorting them as she turned them over to her future father-in-law’s inspection, met his solicitous glance with a wan smile. “Bad business, my child, bad business,” he said, shaking his head. "What are you here for? Why don’t you and that boy of mine take the car, and go away for the day? They’ll be putting your picture in the paper next!” Mary knew his objection to that was more on his wife’s account than his own. “They have already,” she smiled. “Didn’t you see that angelic pose of me in all the afternoon papers yesterday?” “What’s that? My God. we must keep you out of this!” His alarm shocked her. She hastened to remind him that the pictures in question had been captioned, “To Marry Rising Young Barrister in May.” “Oh, oh. That's different.” His relief was profound. But the incident unnerved her. More than ever she knew that secrecy was necessary—that she must be on her guard. Mrs. Ruyther never had been too cordial to her. A daughter-in-law without a penny’s dowry was no catch for Dirk. No doubt she had thought it all settled that it was to be Cornelia; had accustomed herself to the thought of what Cornelia's money, Cornelia's connections, could do for her son's career. Dirk himself had admitted that he always expected to marry Cornelia some day. The Ruythers were not rich. Ruyther & Ruyther were an old firm, and well established, but they were not fashionable, or money-makers. Stephen Ruyther was conservative; he held what he had and risked nothing, after the solid manner of the Dutch. Mary loved him for it, for he was very like Dirk. Mr. Jupiter sat crouched over the library table, his arms outflung upon it, staring at the papers Ruy ther shuffled in his hands. "Mary, my dear,” he said, coming out of his daze long enough to notice her, “is Kane still about, have you noticed? Is there anything new?” The distress in her face answered him: he looked ill. Suddenly he brushed the papers out of the lawyer's hands recklessly. “Put them up! Put them up! We won’t bother with them. Ruyther, do you realize it’s been hours, now, and there’s nothing—nothing!” He lifted his doubled fists and shook them toward the ceiling, his face-working with grief. Then he seemed to collapse into his chair, and sat breathing heavily. One fist beat the table slowly; the knuckles were white and tense. “Till that man is found, I’ve got something to live for,” he jerked out. “I’ll never rest till I meet him, if it takes the rest of my life and every nickel I’ve got!” Outside in the hall, the telephone rang.

TARZAN AT THE EARTH’S CORE

Jason Gridley doggedly struggled on for what seemed like weeks to him. It was the rarest bit of luck that he had taken the right direction and at length had stumbled into view of the lookout on the 0-220. The rescue party reached him just in time; he could not have gone a step further. As they escorted him back to the ship, his first words were concerning the other members of the searching party. He was told that he alone had returned and now there were but twenty-seven of the company left aboard the ship.

After a period of rest Gridley was apparently no worse for his horrible experience. He went over the details of the situation with the captain, who asked when he had ended the tale: "Do you think you could find that spot again?” "Yes,” said Gridley, "and I am going to. This time I intend to go alone and in the scout plane.” Upon hearing this the others attempted to dissuade him, but the American held firmly to his resolve. "Then you must have every chance for success,” said Captain Zuppner. “You’ll need strength. Try to get more sleep.”

—By Ahern OUT OUR WAY

While Gridley was deep in sleep, the scout plane was lowered to the ground, where it underwent a careful inspection by the engineers of the 0-220. When he appeared, ready to take off, he carried a heavy rifle. "My recent experiences,” he said, "have taught me not to venture far into Pellucidar unarmed. I expect to land, for somewhere out there those fellows are waiting and hojtfng for aid. I shall not return until I have brought it to them.” Goodby old man,** said Zuppner, “and may luck go with you.”

Gridley shook hands with the men, all now his staunch friends, and took his seat in the open cockpit of the scout plane. Two mechanics spun the propellor, the motor roared and a moment later she rolled across the grassy meadowland toward the forest at the far side. The watchers saw it rise swiftly and make a great circle and they knew that Gridley was looking for a landmark. Twice it circled above the open plain and then darted away across the forest. Now began the troubles of the brave American who had courted the unknown danger of Pellucidar's noonday sky.
