SOW GO O.V WITH THE STORY Chapter Three The plane bumped over the rough, uninhabited space As it taxied to a stop Conway turned to hla brother "All right. George, come en"' He threw open the door and started to get out Then he stopped suddenly George, peering over his biothere shoulder, whistled softly

Oeotge joined him from the other side Just as Conway, after a quick frisk, stuffed the pilots revolver into his pocket "What's up’" George asked "Fainted"’" Conway, impressed by the pilot's utter limpness, lifted his chin, stared into his face, puiled up his eyelid and then placed his hand ovei the dier's heait He looked up at his brothei soberly He's dead.

"Lister.

Everyone turned to Conway, hoping that he would refute his brother's hysterical statement But Conway looked beyond them at George who, ashamed of his outburst, slipped into a seat, avoiding his

brother's accusing eyes

All that night they remained in the plane, sleeping fitfully, and in the morning Conway and George set out through the storm to forage A couple of hours later they returned, their arms (Hied with

mountain grass

"Well." George said, dumping the grass on a seat, "at least we won't starve while we have this There s real nourmshment in this stuff ' Barnard turned away in disgust and

Conway grinned and extended his hand "Mine's Conway." he said simply Quickly he explained to Chang what had happened to the little group in the plane Chang listened quietly and then ordered his servants to provide warm clothes for the icfugees "I shall be pleased to guide you to our lamasery where you will be most welcome " Conway and his companions quickly climbed into the warm clothes and the caravan was soon on its way back up Ihe mountain pass It was a toiturous and wearying journey Hour after hour they climbed higher and higher into the mountain fastness, skirting danger-

that what lay before them It was. indeed, a strange and half

incredible sight—an eye-flUine horizon diffusing a softness and ■ warmth that was breath-taking Below them, to the left, a group of colored pavilions clung to the mountainside Farther on, in the hazy distance, was a valley that looked for all the world like a huge tafrstry. superb and exquisite in ita

Relics of a prehistoric race which once inhabited eastern Indiana, the earthworks preserved in Mounds state park have a continuing attraction for visitors. This park, located on Roads 32 and 67, a short distance east of Anderson, was established in 1930 and has an area of 251 acres bordering White River. The Mounds or earthworks located in the park are among the best-pre-served specimens of the mound-bulld-ers art, the Great Mound being encircled by an earthen wall nine feet high and twelve hundred feet in circumforance. Smaller mounds of the same and different types of construction are found throughout the park. It is believed that the Great Mound was a part of the ceremonial life of the vanished race which was succeed-

ed by the American Indian. Many] traces oJ Indian occupancy of the region. are found in the park. Aside from its historical and archeological associations, Mounds state park is a delightful outing place. Its wooded, rolling landscape, bordering White River, includes several miles of trails and bridle paths which parallel the river and lead to other points of scenic beauty. The area is noted for the variety of its plant life and its towering trees, some of which are unusually large. The riding stable has recently been enlarged to make it possible for a ! larger number of visitors to enjoy this healthful, outdoor recreation. Picnic and camping areas, located ; under the trees, are completely equipI ped for the convenience of the visit-

or. Shelter houses with fim for use on chilly days, outdoor with their stacks of firewood,' tables and benches, pure Irtnking water and other conv^ ,>s are protrided. A playground with swings, boards and other attractions cated near the picnic area whe J children can be kept under o’ lion while at play Meals freshments are served at the ion which also houses a cc arrowheads and other Indian , made in the vicinity. Attendance at Mounds state has grown steadily in recent, many of tl>.' visitors coming outside Indiana to inspect mounds and to enjoy the sceni ting of the area.
