Bob, unwilling to wait any longer, decided on harsh measures. He slapped Ava’s face vigorously. The shock partially revived her. Bob took off shoes and coat. Ava divested herself of her shoes. 'Come on. Ava; let’s try it!” Bob cried. He stepped into the water. "Right!” She was herself again. She had recovered life did not matter —life itself. For twenty feet they were able to push through the water with their feet on bottom. Then it reached above Ava’s chin, and she had to swim. The water was bubbling and gurgling, affected by the pressure of the water Black Hawk had turned loose behind them. “Under wafer, now!” Bob cried. "We can't wait to take soundings!” Ava did not. respond for a moment. First she reached out her hand to Bob, and drew him close to her. , Dearest!” she said softly, and pressed her lips against his. • Taking lung-capacity breaths, they p: unged under the surface together. a a a BRILLIANT light was visible ahead of them, and it made their task easier. Side by side they swam for perhaps a dozen feet, and then they came abruptly to an iron grill. For a short time it appeared all was last. Then, drawing himself down. Bob found a way beneath it. Ava followed, and they maneuvered their bodies under the lowest bar. At once the current caught them, and Ava was being swept away. She half-sensed and half saw that Bob was not following her. He was caught in the iron grill! In childhood they had played many dangerous games together, and done a great deal ol diving and swimming, but nothing like this. Ava grasped Bob's shoulders and tried to pull him loose. H° tried to push her away, but she saw that his foot was caught between two of the bars. It would take more pressure than they could bring to bear to free it. At that moment, when it seemed their lungs could not stand the strain another second, relief came—and came from Black Hawk, their arch-enemy. The column of water which Black Hawk had released and which had pushed them, now reached the mouth of the tunnel, and, like a tidal wave, tore Bob and Ava apart. At the same time it released Bob's

foot and hurled him toward the surface of the river. a a a A STRANGE roaring sound made the youth fishing in the White river flatboaf look up-stream. He saw a grpat bubbling of water, and what appeared to be a miniature tidal wave. On it floated two human figures. Bob and Ava, exhausted, were fighting to keep afloat. But in their weakened condition, they could hardly catch their breaths. The young fisherman realized their predicament, and with skill born of long practice maneuvered his boat into their path. A few moments later, and after murh effort, he hauled Bob and Ava aboard, and then paddled for shore. Bob and Ava had come through the experience unharmed, though | very weak. As soon as they were ashore Bob I commandeered a private car from Will Evans who was driving by with Russell Julius, and went to the ; hotel. There Bob insisted the house physician give them each a thorough examination. He found Ava suffering from exhaustion, and Bob nearly as tired. Outside of that, they were all right. Ava he ordered to bed. and Bob stationed r guard outside her locked door. Then he returned to the postoffice. 'He found Sergeant Brown, anxious and annoyed, in the operations office, and told him of the ordeal through which he and Ava had just passed. Brown ordered men from headquarters to investigate. Bob glanced through the routine reports of detectives who had worked on various angles of the I case. Every purchaser of a noisej leas portable typewriter in Indian- ■ apolis in recent years had been checked and accounted for, even Eddie Ash, who had bought one for his trips to cover sports events. The stamps on Black Hawk’s letters could not be traced to their purchaser. The distribution of Blue Book maps had been so extensive that it was impassible to trace them Former employes of the various chemical works in the Indianapolis area had been checked without result; further work along thus line was still to be done. a a a THE body of the "Whisperer,” who had killed himself, after being thwarted in his attempt to wreck Union station, had been examined, and no clews to his identity had been found. Police headquarters had reported that a number of suspicious-acting persons found loitering around Union Station had been taken for questionj ing. but had been released. District Attorney Val Nolan had inadverj tently been questioned by a rookie j cop. No trace had been found of j the black car in which Bob s assail- | ants fled from the Breen home. Black Hawk, up to this time, had made seven statements—two letters to the President, one to the | Governor, one to the newspapers warning about Union station, one to i Bob in the ax-handle and one, by j voice, to Bob and Ava in the tunnel. Possibly the cryptic ’'personal” want ad was from him. But up to now there was no specific threat | pending. Why did he leave this additional suspense. Bob wondered. a a a AS a precaution. Bob put in a telephone call to the family in Crow's Nest with whom Dolly, Ava’s ; sister, was staying. They told him i she was all right, and that no strangers had been seen around the house. “Do you want a guard?” Bob asked. "No,” replied Ava's friend. “That i would only attract attention. We’ll let you know if there is anything suspicious." Perhaps they had not been fol- . lowed on that trip. Bob decided. (To Be Continued)

As the first shriek of the gorilla's pitiable victim arose. Jean screamed: “They're tearing him to pieces!" She covered her eyes and turned, sickened from the sight. The shrieking stopped abruptly, and she knew the beast had strangled his first victim and torn him asunder.

In the pit the gorilla had its way with the native, amid the loud approval of the pygmies, gloatingly looking on from above. As the beast finished with its victim he noticed the other safari up above him. and suddenly flung his lifeless prey aside.

Now he ambled toward the opposite side of the pit. The din of the drums and excited shouts of the pin-head savages became louder and louder as their inhuman pleasure increased. Like the first victim, two more safari boys quickly met their fate in the same manner.

Far away in the jungle, while this scene wag being enacted in the pygmies’ temple, Tarzan, tha Ape Man, sat with his back td a tree trunk, his face In his hands. Suddenly he sprang alertly erect, listening. A faint screech came to his ears. Soon its cause apoeared.
