Claire Posdick, orphaned daughter of wealthy parents, is informed that a fortune which she thought seeure is gone. Sie is left only a mountain house, inBerited from an eccentric uncle, Lyman

friend, Nick Baum, whe proposes marriage to her. In discussing his offer of matrimony with her housekeeper, Hannah, Claire is told of 5 mysterious jewel which belonged to her uncle and is believed to be Ridden in the mountain house. - NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

‘house in the mountains had always

been an adventure to the girl. The House of Long Shadows—the very name her uncle had given his home made it a house of dreams. Here she could live again, in imagination, the exciting days when the little mining town nearby had been a blaze of hectic life. When fortunes were won or lost in a night and the haunting quest for gold turned the heads of the steadiest of men. ” » » : OW the road began to wind sharply upward, coiling about the rugged side of the mountain. Higher and higher went the car, each succeeding lap in the road, lifting it above the plains below. Soon the city became a miniature, twinkling fairyland, its streets outlinied in rows of tiny points of light. Claire never tired of this picture.

She threw back her head and filled.

her lungs with the bracing air, a tense of exhilaration sweeping through her. Unconsciously she pressed on the accelerator. The car leaped forward with a sudden spurt of speed that sent the gravel flying down the steep side of the mountain. Instantly she jerked back from the danger of taking the curves too fast. She knew only too well how narrow the strip of road was that lay between her and a hurtling death into the dark depths below. Now she was coming to the narrow, twisting road that led from the main highway up to the House of Long Shadows. As she turned into it, another car passed behind her, going along the main road. In just a few minutes she would be at her Reta She sat back in the seat and relaxed her grip on the wheel. There was a sudden grinding crash as the car hit a huge log that lay directly across the narrow road. Instantly, the lights went out, and splintered glass showered about her. The machine lurched tipsily and stopped. Claire fell limply forward over the steering wheel. Quick footsteps sounded dimly behind her and the last thing she knew she was being lifted in a man’s arms.
