CHAPTER XIII "Stand still! . Stand absolutely still!" Robert Barry roared the com- mand like an army major, When the lantern dropped and Mary Melissa had screamed, the two of them had been on the "brink of a subterranean cliff, Bob didn't know just how high it was, but he knew it was dan: gerous. If 'Lissa- moved carcless- ly in her fright, instant tragedy might result. "It's all right!" he calmed her. "Stand where you are, and I'll come to you," They had been 15 feet or so apart. Carefully he felt his way through the darkness, talking in soothing tones. ""Oh-h-h-h, 1 don't know .h-how I could have done that." She trembled when he finally touch- ed her. "No matter, 'Lissa. Accidents happen to anybody. I should have held the lantern. It was my job, not yours, done. We have others in camp, you know. Five, all tgoether, and plenty of gasoline for them." She was still whe Lg his -arm went around} her waist. There in the blackness she feit 50 utterly little. He held her tight to him, in both arms, petting and comforting her as best he could. In a moment she had her com- posure again. "All right?" His voice had his old smile in it. "Yes, thank you, Bob. But it's the worst fright 1 ever had." "Shouldn't wonder. Now we'll take the candles and go back out." 3 "You have candles?" She was beth surprised and delighted. "Yes. But--" [i He didn't complete his ans- wer. Sudden fear chilled him! * + * The Missing Pack Yes, he had brought candles, in his shoulder pack. But--he had forgotten to put the pack back on when they had halted a + while.ago to rest!

We're in a predicament, aren't wel" He- reached out to pat her hand: in the darkness. "Yes," "he admitted, huskily, "we are." She said nothing else then, She merely waited. "Mary Melissa, I am the mas- terpiece among fools, I could choke myself with satisfaction." He was not funning about it, He was, rather, in deep despair, con: ness. ' In Deep Despair "I won't ask forgiveness," he resumed, "for I don't deserve it. I'm going to try my damndest to get us out of here, but you ought to hate me foréver, even if I do.

It brought a lump of pride for her in Bob Barry's throat, What a girl!. He had sudden mental vision of her beluty, too, and he was almost overcome with emo- tion, in his sudden wholehearted admiration cof her. She hadn't eed, or whimpered, or sniveled. Instead, she had actually comfort- ed him! Not Even A Match In the utter darkness there he threw up his chin, a bit 'embar- rassed with himself, and laughed a little in new confidence. "The. pack," he stated, to be back this way." They moved at snail pace. Oft- "ought knees, to' avoid slipping and fall- ing, also' to make feeling with their hands easier. They must---- simply must--locate that pack. Bob strained himself to - re- create in his mind the path they took after resting, every turn and every incline. A dozen times . he searched his pockets for pack too. He never had smoked; for the first time in his lite, now, he regretted it. "I have a bar of chocolate," he announced, after they had crawl- ed for what seemed hours. "You ust be hungry." "Not , at all!" she lied. She "knew that chocolate might © be doubly precicus later. "I couldn't eat now." He put it back in his pocket. They sat still fo rest again, hold- ing hands. He tried to think of some way to make artificial light. But these rocks were not flint.' And all they had for tinder would be their clothing. He squeezed her hand, and they be- gan to erawl Jain. It Might Be Days They hoped against hope, and it was fruitless, * Their search continued for what- must have rest made them realize the im: mensity of the great cavern." They had lost all sense of direction, They lived solely by' sense of touch -- the only two living 'things, apparently, in all the uni- verse. Bob remembered the shrive eled body near the entrance to the cave and the mummy outside, and smiled a little dryly. "Keep your: chin up, kid," he said once, softly. "I feel fintly she declared.
