Mr. Breen dlsappears and Ava receives a note from him. asking her to Join him In the Monument. a a a CHAPTER ELEVEN (Continued) “JS it all right, Miss Breen?” the X detective asked. ‘‘Yes. It’s from my father. He’s up in the Monument tower.” "There’s no one in the Monument at this hour,” the detective remonstrated. "Well, there’s only one way to be sure of it. Nothing can happen in the Monument, I'm sure.” Determined, Ava led the way. The newsdealer disappeared into the shadows of Pearl street, and the detective, shrugging his shoulders, followed. The huge shaft was dark when they mounted the steps, but they found a door unlocked. The door closed behind them, and a single bulb, near the elevators, was visible. "Lock the door!” cried a harsh, cackling voice. A figure slithered to the door and fastened it. Then, before the detective could draw his gun, his arms were pinioned from behind. "Don't be afraid, Miss Breen,” said the voice, more smoothly now, but full of grim determination. "I just wanted to talk with you.” A bent, aged figure approached her. and held out a clutching, talonlike hand to take hers. Ava recognized the voice, and her heart stopped. She was in the presence of Black Hawk himself! a a a CHAPTER TWELVE WHEN Ava came face to free with Black Hawk, and heard that mad, unnaturally high-pitched voice for the second time that day, a cold fear clutched at her heart. As he approached her, she had to restrain herself from tearing at him with her fingernails, crying, “Where Is my father?” She knew that he was not in his natural guise—bent, shrivelled as he seemed to be. She decided to bide her time, and learn why he wanted to see her, here in this public place In this disguise. His face—lean, hawk-nosed, with wide, piercing eyes—was not that of an old man, but of a man of middle-age. There was something vaguely familiar about it, and Ava Wondered if she had passed him some time on the streets of Indianapolis without knowing it. As Ava drew back from his outstretched hand, Black Hawk chortled: “Don't be afraid of me, my dear! You of all persons I will be kind to.

THE MOUND BUILDERS are regarded as ancestors of the Indian tribes which were found in the Mississippi valley by the early •white explorers. Most of the mounds are mortuary or sacrificial, the chief contents being skeletons and ceremonial objects. The structures are built wholly of earth. NEXT—Are there any living widows, of veterans of the War of 1812?

1 1 need your help, in more ways than ! one!” He turned and, motioned her to follow, led the way toward the elevators. The detective was dragged into the shadows by the Whisperers. Black Hawk remained silent until the elevator stopped near the top of the shaft. He led Ava into a room in which many flags were stored and said: "I had you come here because you would think you would be safe. As a matter of fact, you are, safer than with the others. They can not move without my knowing it. I have spies everywhere; every one of them is followed by men who report to me.” a a a AVA strained in vain for some characteristics that would enable her to recognize his voice if she heard it again under different circumstances. There was nothing to remember, however—except that now and again Black Hawk sighed —a sigh that seemed to come from the depths of his being. “Ava Breen,” said Bl&ck Hawk, “I want you to be my wife!” “You’re—you’re mad!” Ava ejaculated. Black Hawk arose, disregarding his disguise, until he was a towering figure of rage. “Don’t use that word!" he cried. “Don't say it! I am Black Hawk!” He calmed as suddenly as he had become aroused and came forward. “If you will help me,” he said, “you can make everything so much simpler.” “Help you? How?” “You are not ready to marry me; I can see that. Well, I can wait. But I want you to help me in what I am doing—tell me, for instance, what plans Major Martyne has made against me.” Ava threw back her head and laughed derisively. “You think I'd do that?” she mocked. ‘Don’t laugh! You would be wiser to help me. You forget your life is in my hands!” “And the life of my father! Where is he?” tt tt u BLACK HAWK turned away. “That I can not tell you,” he said. “Mr. Breen was very unwise. He went against my will; he tried to trap me. I couldn’t allow that—my men trust me too well.” “What have you done to him?” Ava advanced toward Black Hawk and a figure slipped behind her and held her. “Don't worry about him now. Do you refuse to tell me what you know about Major Martyne’s plans?” “I do.” “Then prepare yourself. I shall have him brought here." “You can’t!” “I can’t? You’ll see. He’s coming to rescue you, single-handed!” “No!” “I told him to come alone —that I was watching and that if he failed, I would hurl you over the balcony rail. I knew It would bring him. He doesn’t know I am pledged not to hurt you! I have promised my people you will not be hurt—did you know that?” (To Be Continued) DEDICATE WATER PLANT Ft.

As Jean, Holt and her father watched, frozen In horror, while Riano met his death at the fangs of the terrible man-thing in the pygmies’ pit, they saw the great gorilla throw the body aside and wait for his next victim. At this very moment, Tarzan reached the river.

Chita, the monkey, was with him, and they dove unhesitatingly into the water. A crocodile on the river bank spied them and slithered after them. Another crocodile followed —then two more. One cut straight across the ape-man’s path, jaws wide open.

Tarzan outswam this one, but soon the river was swarming with the creatures, eager for their prey. It was then that Tarzan uttered a shrill cry. Hearing that summons, a hippopotamus turned toward him and the Ape Man swam with swift, sure strokes in its direction.

—By Edgar Rice Burroughs

Outdistancing the pursuing crocodiles, Tarzan climbed upon the slippery back of the water-beast, the monkey still perched upon his own back. Obeying Tarzan’s command, the hippo swam for the other shore. All this time he heard the distant drums and the death chant.
