Mary'* nance. DIRK RUYTHER. believes Eddie eulltv. as do police, who cr ”o the case. BRUCE JUPITER, lonir absent, returns from Europe with a woman friend. His ts* tf, er orders him out and makes Mary his heir Bruce return*, vowing to rout Msrv. who he th'.nks is a eolddigger. Dirk forbids Marv to see Bowen or continue the Investigation. He savs If she goes to Miami an thr Jupiter yacht h* will believe Bruce's charges. Marv goes because Bowen tells her The 1 Iv mav be at Hialeah, when his horse runs. Dirk shows attentions to his former sweetheart CORNELIA TABOH. Mary is introduced to COUNT DE LOMA. De Loma Is listed as owner of The Ply's horse. She sees De Loma and COUNTESS LOUISE. Bruces friend, ir. •ecret conversation. She also learns that MR. JUPITER has a oar of the same make as that .which the murderer used In his get-awav and which later killed Eddie. Mr. Jupiter explains the car was bought for experimental purposes in his business. Bowen overhears Bruce and Louise ouarreling because she can not explain where she got a diamond bracelet. Louise savs she loaned Marv money and took the bracelet as security. Bruce thinks It was De Loma who gave Louise the bracelet. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR MARY dropped the countess’ arm, on which the bracelet glittered, and went wonderingly to the door. Bruce stood outside. He seemed surprised to see Louise, but came in at Mary’s invitation, stopping just within the door. His indifference, reported by Bowen, was a mask, Mary saw with a twinge of pity. Little liking as she had for the wilful, selfish young man, she could not help a feeling of shame for her sex at seeing him made to suffer so at the hands of a woman of Louise’s sort. He came forward with head lowered, eyes searching the faces of the two women. "I wish to ask some questions,” he said deliberately. "Louise tells me you are in need of money?” He looked at Mary as he spoke. Louise started to rise, but he motioned her back. "Sit down! You have told me two stories. Now I'm going to find out which is correct.” Then to "I was, but I'm not now,” Mary Raid. "But why? How does that concern you?” "Never mind. Is that your bracelet?” He pointed. Mary did not even turn her head to look. "Os course!” she said impatiently. Bruce stared at her, then at the faintly defiant, triumphant Louise. Mary could guess what the countess’ state of mind must be at this unexpected corroboration of her lie. Without wasting a glance on her, Mary advanced on Bruce, taking advantage of his momentary confusion. It was not the answer he had expected. That was clear. a a tt “lISITHY are you interested in my W affairs suddenly?” she asked. “Really, I should have thought you would be glad to hear of my financial embarrassment!” “You really did—borrow from Louise?” he asked stupidly. “Why shouldn’t I?” Mary cried in an exasperated tone. ‘She had luck yesterday. I hadn't. If she is willing to share with me—” Bruce stared —then laughed. The tension that had held him taut as n spring when he came in was broken by that laugh. Something indefinably threatening went out of the air. "You women!” he said. “You beat me. I would have believed any one who told me you’d sprung at each other’s throats, but that you’d actually help each other out —” He paused—quick suspicion in his eyes. Mary and the countess exchanged a slow' look which they were careful to keep as expressionless as possible. "Wait a minute,” Bruce said. “Perhaps I've swallowed this a little too readily. Perhaps you have had time to arrange this before I came in. Miss Harkness is merely backing up your story when the truth is—quite different, perhaps?" Bruce's eyes probed the countess’, W'ho flushed. "That’s enough!” Mary answered, angrily. “Leave my room, please!” "Presently. But first”—his voice was like the crack of a whip—-“if that is Miss Harkness’ bracelet, give it to her!” a a a lOUISE stood up. breathing hard. j There was veiled appeal in the look she threw at Mary. Mary held out her hand, smiling wryly, as if

to say, “Oh, humor him. What does it matter?” Reassured by that interchange of glances, the countess now did her part as well or better than Mary had done hers. Regally, she slipped off the diamond circlet and laid it in the girl’s hand. "But naturally,” she said calmly, giving her a friendly smile, “I trust you.” Bruce hesitated, obviously unsure of himself. Mary was too quietly exultant over her victory to be other than magnanimous. “I’m sorry you have been—embarrassed,” she said gently. “And I—beg your pardon,” Bruce replied a bit stiffy. Then, evidently coming to the conclusion that he had made rather an ass of himself, he fairly bolted from the room. Mary stood still in the middle of the room, holding the bracelet to her breast. She was trembling; the thrill of victory racing through her veins. First blood! She had tricked Louise out of the most important piece of evidence yet secured against The Fly. And the Fly did not know she had | it. What was the best thing to do with it? Where would it be safe? There was a small cabinet safe in Mr. Jupiter’s cabin on the "Gypsy,” and it had able guardians. She resolved to put it there for safekeeping at the earliest possible moment. Eddie’s I. O. U., too. That small piece of paper had its importance also. a a a SHE couldn’t go out to the yacht now—it lacked less than an hour of dinner-time. At 7 the Jupiter party was to meet in the lobby of the roof dining-room. ' The Fly , had promised to be there, too. Although she dreaded the encounter, it was just what she had 1 hoped for—an opportunity to disarm i the man’s suspicions, if he had any (apparently his colossal conceit did not permit him to fear detection). And since she had come off so well last, night she had thought of an even more dangerous experi- : ment, which she meant to try withj out Mr. Jupiter's knowledge, for she was sure he never would consent. She would wear the rubies tonight! By dangling them under the very nose of The Fly, she was sure he never would rest until he had got hold of them. By sharpening his appetite, she might succeed in hurrying him into an attempt to make off with them. And. if Bates and the others would help her, lead him straight into a trap. She went to her dressing-table and put the bracelet in her handbag, where the I. O. U. already was hidden. With the bag tucked under her arm she went into the hall. Louise, of course, was relying on her to return the bracelet when Bruce's eyes were turned the other way. She must have been surprised at Mary’s unexpected support of her lie, but she evidently considered it just the quixotic act of one woman helping another pull her chestnuts out of the fire. Mary disliked Bruce enough to do it for the fun of annoying him. she probably reasoned. She would go on thinking so until she found out that Mary did not mean to give the bracelet back. Then, look out! Louise would have to account to De Loma sooner or later for its loss. If she were angry enough, she might set him to got it back for her secretly. Unquestionably he would scent a graver reason for its being withheld and then—she shivered as she realj ized the lenghts to which he might I go to recover it. a a a MARY knew she must act quickly if the bracelet were to be put beyond his reach. She resolved to go downstairs at once and put the two objects in the hotel safe until she could take uiem out to the yacht. Bates was coming down the corridor as she stepped into the hall. He looked hot, dusty and tired. She remembered that she had not seen him all day. "Hello, ’ she greeted him cheerj fully. “Where’ve you been?” ! "Oh, out and around,” he anl swered noncomittally. "Here and ; there. Come along and I’ll tell you 1 about it.” t There was something in his man-

ner—a sort of electric excitement—that intrigued her. She waited as he rapped at Mr. Jupiter’s door, and followed him inside. They found Mr. Jupiter at his open sitting room window, which looked out over the bay, a palmleaf fan in his hand and a cold glass at his elbow. His stockinged feet were elevated to the seat oi a chair, and his shirt was open at the throat. “Come in, come in. What’s up? You just getting back, Bates?” He motioned them to chairs. ‘Where’ve you been?” Bates mopped his grimy countenance. “Following a crazy man, he answered bitterly. “I’m telling you, that guy is crazy as a loon!” “Here, have a drink,” Jupiter offered. When the returned traveler had cooled his parched throat he brightened visibly. a a a “'II7'ELL, when you turned back ▼ V this morning, boss, I saw your son and the lady were fixing to lose me, too. Young love and all that, you know. “So I let on I wanted to have a look at the town—it’§ an old settlement, with a historic courthouse, you know. They put me down on the public square and went on down to the beach where the ‘Shore Dinner’ sign pointed. “I sat down on the courthouse lawn for a minute to cool off. I guess I kinda dozed off, with my hat shading my eyes, but pretty soon I saw out of the tail of my eye a man standing a few feet away, staring up at the courthouse steeple! “It was De Loma. I couldn't believe my eyes. What was he doing out there? And staring like he’d never seen a building before! Well, that’s a famous old courthouse, but it wasn’t that kind of a stare. You know what I mean? “He looked all greeny around the gills, like he was fascinated by it—and scared, too, maybe. I never saw just the same look on a man’s face before in my life. No, sir, I never! “Says I to myself, Oh, ho! Somethings up. I kept my eye on him, though he couldn't see me—leastways my face. “Pretty soon he turned around like a man in a trance and walked away with his head down, not looking where he was going. a a a “T SAT up and watched him. And A then, just as he was crossing the middle of the street, down the road driving hell-bent for election like he always does, came your chauffeur, Tom, in that big Lorimor car. "De Loma jumped back quick, but at that Tom had to swerve way out to keep from hitting him. Made Tom hopping mad. He yelled at him and says, ‘Why don’t you do your sleeping in bed?’ and De Loma yelled something back—l didn’t catch what. “And he just stood there, shaking all over. And he was green in the face that time—his eyes all but popping out of his head. “He looked at the license plate, and when he saw the number he just stood and gaped. A native was standing by the curb, and he asks him, ‘Whose care is that?’ like the native ought to know, and if he didn’t tell he’d shake it out of him. “But the guy just shook his head easy-like. And De Loma went into a drug store quick and I went in the barber shop next door and watched till he came out. He went over to his car, parked along the courthouse curbing—one of those ‘Drive It Yourself’ busses and got in and set out for town. ' ana I went in the drugstore, and askea the soda-fountain boy about him—if he did any telephoning and so on. (To Be Continued)

Cautiously Jason Gridley groped for each hand and foot hold. Hunger, thirst and fatigue were forgotten as he marshaled every faculty to the bidding of his iron nerve . . . Prom a short distance up the gorge two eyes watched him from behind a pile of tumbled granite. There was anger in them at first, then doubt, then surprise, and then terror. And as the man slowly lowered himself the eyes of the girl, wide with terror, never left him for an instant.

Hogging close to the face of the steep cliff, Jason did not dare look down. It seemed to him that inch by inch he had lowered himself for an eternity. Never was any hold secure and at last he reached a point where, grope as he did in all directions, he could find no foothold. He could move neither one way nor the other. He felt his fingers slipping. Then the weight of his body tore locse that slight grip from the knob he had clutched and Jason Gridley dropped, believing his end had come.

To his amazement the drop was only two feet. As he came to a stop, his feet on solid rock, Jason could not believe his good fortune. Almost afraid to look, he glanced downward, and then the truth dawned upon him. He had made the descent in safety. His knees sagged beneath him, and as he sank to the ground a girl, watching him from the gorge, burst into tears. A spring bubbled near and Jason quenched his thirst, found his boots and started up the cation alter Jana.

Far above the stupendous mountain range he saw ominous clouds gathering. They were the first he had seen in Pellucidar. He knew it meant rain, but he could never dream the awful proportions the storm would soon assume. Far ahead of him Jana clambered upward. When she had seen Jason's life in danger she was full of terrors and remorse. Now that he was safe, her mood changed and she still sought to elude him.
