He rolled on his back, lay breathing deeply for the in moment, shouted: Take up on it now! I Don't lift just got it! a think Ive draw it tight!

This was, after all, no more than a car which some one had wished to hide; yet its resurrection from that hiding place, where it might have lain forever, had in it something dramatic, almost ominous. It was like the emergence of a monster, slowly, from its lair; slow, lethargic and ponderous with So out of consequences! Hold it! called the man below. wirch stopped while he swam toward the car. Adam felt some one beside him. Here was Tope, on hands and knees, peering down; the District Attorney just beyond. OK shouted the swimmer triYou can have it! Take umphantly. The ! it away! He began to swim toward the farther side of the quarry, where his clothes lay on a rock in the sun. Mike Flame waited till the swimmer was well clear before he gave the signal. And at last it was here just below them. It hung six feet beyond their reach, its bottom toward them. They all stared at the bottom of this car, searching it with eyes absurdly intent, as though it might have s me secret to reveal. And tlun suddenly Tope stood up; he spi ke to Mike, in sharp irritated tones. What are you going to do with it? he demanded. El. Do with it? said Mike. whj drag n out of there!

Tope s.ud impatiently; Oh, let me alone, son' And he said no furfur word till they came into the borders of North Maddersnn. Then at last he s;'ke. "Go to the jail, Adam," he directed. We'll get something out of Kell now enough so we'll know how to go at Holdom. Adam nodded. Something happened on their trip up here Friday, all right, he agreed. But I don't see what it was! Tope said briefly: It was a plant, a game, a play somebody tried to I stage." How do you figure that? Because Holdom told Kell to hit him over the head. Adam noddi d. Thats right. He asked eagerly That was to make Holdom look like a victim too? Then you think he I think some Tope said grimly: one made a sucker out of Holdom. Used him. Holdoms a crook, Adam. Always has been, in little ways. You heard Mat, at the quarry; heard what he said about Ledforge filing charges against Holdom, with the Stock Exchange authorities. "You figure Holdom was doublecrossing Ledforge, and knew he would be found out, and killed the old man." Ledforge Tope said quizzically: filed those charges himself yesterday, Adam. How could he do that if Holdom killed him Friday? They reached the jail behind the courthouse; and when barriers had been removed they came to Kell. They found the big man sitting on the cot in his cell, his head between his hands. He did not look up at the sound of their steps, nor when they paused before his cell door. but nothing else at all save one The guard who had led them thus thing: about the wrist, something far knew Adam of old, and at the like a black cord was knotted; seen young mans word left them here; even thus dimly, it seemed to have and Tope spoke, gently. been knotted tightly, to have cut Kell? he said. into the soft flesh.

It would hold two Atlantics and still have room for a few Mediterraneans. More than half of all the worlds water h is in the Pacific. Its greatest dimension is 9,300 miles, and its greatest width 10,300, writes W. Price, in Japans Islands of Mystery. The sun takes ten hours to cross it nearly half its circle round the globe. No other ocean plumbs such depths. Its floor is a third deeper on the average than the Atlantic. A chasm off the Philippine east coast showed a depth of more than 35,000 feet. Addrev- - Buy U. S.
