Phinuit chuckled outright at Lanâ€" yard‘s look of polite obstuseness. Plenty of time," Monk replied wearily. "I‘ll turn this old tub inâ€" side out, if you insist, in the mornâ€" Whether or not sleep brought Monk better counsel, the morning‘s ransacking of the vessel and the exâ€" amination of her crew proved more painstaking than Lanyard had exâ€" pected. And the upshot was preciseâ€" ly as Monk had foretold, nothing. He reported drily to this effect at an informal conference in bis quarters after luncheon.

"True: I am thinking of those days when the Pack hunted the Lone Wolf in Paris, and made him much the same offer as you have made toâ€"night. . .. The Pack, you should know, messieurs, was the name assumed by an association of Parisian criminals, ambitious like you, who had grown envious of the Lone Wolf‘s success, and wished to persuade him to run with them." â€""As memory serves, I told them they could all go plumb to hell.". "And what happened?" Phinuit inâ€" quired. s Oe i "Well," Phinuit hazarded with a good show of confidence, "I guess you won‘t tell us to go plumb to hell, will you?" "No; I promise to be more original than that. You shall have your anâ€" swer by the time we make our landâ€" fallâ€"perhaps before." He felt a presence, and knew that it waited, stitrless, within arm‘sâ€" length of his head. Without much concern, he thought of Popinot, that "phantom Popinot" of Monk‘sâ€" de resive naming. Well, if the vision Liane had seen on deck had taken material form here in his stateroom, Lanyard presumed it meant another fight, and the last, to a finish, that is to say, to a death. He heard a whisper, or rather a mutter, a voice he could not place in its present pitch. " "Look here . . ." The mutter stumbled. "I want to ask a personal question. Is or isn‘t your right name Lanyard, Michael Lanyard?" out! Lanyard went to bed, the last night out, leaving a noisy gathering in the saloon, ~and read himself drowsy. Then turning out his light he slept. Some time later he found himself inâ€" santaneously awake, and alert, with a clear head and every faculty on the qui vive. "Awake, Monsieur Delorme?" it said. "Hush Don‘t make a row, and never mind the light." His astonishment was so overpowâ€" ering that instinctively his tensed muscles relaxed and his hand fell back upon the bedding. "It‘s meâ€"Mussey." Lanyard echoed witlessly: "Musâ€" "I had to have a bit of a talk with you without anybody‘s catching on." "Well." Lanyard said, "I‘m damnâ€" ‘"That‘s ap unusual name, Michael Lanyard," cautiously replied its proâ€" prictor. "How did you get hold of it?" _ "They say it‘s the right name of the Lone Wolf.

Before he descends into his chosen underground spot, he carefuly studies all conditions of the cave and vicinity. He was orly 10 years old when he masâ€" tered bis geography and he now is thoroughly acquainrted with the geoâ€" logy and topography of the land where he works. He said there were wonderful rocks thero and colored feicles sparkling with begutiful colors, so that the cavern which pcople had supposed so ngly wag discovered to be one of naâ€" ture‘s pleasant surprises. Prof. Edouard Martel is now an eldâ€" erly man with white beir and a pleasâ€" ant fact. For 50 years he has been exploring the caves and cavern« of the world, and etudying the underground lakes in various countrics. He was born in France and is known there as "The Man of Caverns." Besides boing an explorer Professor Martel is also an inventor. When he found a need for special equipment in his work, he was not satisted uut!l he had perfected the necessary articles. He hbas perfected & leather canoe, which is strong and waterproof and also light enough to be easily carried by oneâ€"man. When he works in the caverns he wears a suit of clothes which he invented to protect him from sharp rocks and which will not tear on rough ledges. le wears a cap of padded leather which is a protection against falling rocks. This is also his own idea. When he is ready to descend he seats himself on a piece of board tied at the end of a rope and several men hold the other end at the mouth of the cave and unwind the rope gradually until he reaches the bottom. He has a telephone strapped around his neck and on reaching the bottom he proâ€" ceeds on foot, aided by a guide rope attached to his beit,. The telephone wire runs through this rope. At this time of the spring one of the beautiful sights of the heavily forestâ€" ed regions of British Columbia is to be found in the Douglas fir trees lightâ€" ed with multitudes of new twige of tender green needles growing out from the older darker portions of the branches. Just now the shoots averâ€" age three or four inches in length, are light jade or apple green in color, with touches of yellow. Whether looked at in shadow or sunshine the effect of the tasseled stems dotting the dark green masses of follage is that of milâ€" Mons of lighted caudles. If you enter a grove it is like stepâ€" ping into a temple illuminated with tapers. The paths and trails are borâ€" dered and arched with groups of theso softly glowing green fires. "The Man of the Caverns." There was a mysterious place in France which few pecple ever dared go near. This was a large cavern with great black dopths. One day a man was lowered into that caverr and to everyone‘s astonishment he came up again to tell about it. His equipment consists among other things of rope ladders, gas mask, baroâ€" meters, thermometers, a specially preâ€" pared chocolate, matches, candles, field telephones, jackâ€"knives and rubâ€" ber boots.
