He ran on Into the tunnel' "We must find him, she said. He will come back, Jacqueline. He will never come back I she answered. He must have been planning this and waiting for me to sleep. He We must may be hiding somewhere. search for him. Let ns go, then, Jacqueline, I an- swered. I led her hnck Into the tunnel on what was to be, I hoped, our final Journey. We reached the ledge. The star had faded now, and the whole sky was bright with the red clouds of dawn. At length I saw daylight ahead of me and there was no sound of the torrents. I left Jacqueline In the cave for a few moments and went into the smaller one near by, where I had seen the provisions on the preceding days. I found a small box of hard biscuit, with which I stuffed the pockets of my coat, and, happier still, a small revolver and some cartridges, to which I helped myself liberally. Then I went back to Jacqueline. Jacqueline," I said, let us go on. Perhaps your father Is on hla way outside the tunnel. "We cannot go without my father," he answered, shaking her head In determination. Jacqueline, 1 said, If we can find your father you will come with me? Because It has occurred to me, I went on, that If he had come this way his footprints would be In the mud beside the stream. It would take an hour or two for them to 011 up again. So perhaps he did not come this far, but Is hiding in some cave In the tunnel through which we come. Will you wait for me here while I go back and search? She nodded and I went back Into that Interminable tunnel again. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Try a Betel-Nu- t.
