Oh, Larry! she whispered after all these years there would still be a light up here, she fumbled for the switch and pushed the button. A startling blaze of light half blinded her, but as her eyes grew accustomed to it, a cry caught in her throat.

She ran across the room to the far comer. There in a crumpled heap, lying face down, was Larry! She knelt down beside him with her hands on his shoulders. He groaned weakly On the back of his head was a large swelling, and as she turned him over she caught her breath sharply. He must have pitched forward, striking his forehead as he fell, for there was an ugly cut over his eye. He groaned again and his eyelids fluttered.

Marcia stood up, fighting to control her nerves. Looking around. she noticed with surprise that on one side of the room was a large porcelain sink. Taking Larry's handkerchief from his breast pocket she went to the sink. When she turned the faucet the water came clear.

Drenching the handkerchief she returned to him and gently sponged his face. she whispered anxiously, and waited a moment. He flung out one of his arms and half turner, but his eyes remained shut. Frightened, Marcia returned to the sink and wet the cloth again. This time as she wet his face she could see that he was coming around, and she drew a long breatti of relief.

"Larry! Oh, Larry!" she said brokenly. For a moment he stared at her blankly, and then slowly grinned ruefully. "My head feels terrible," he said, "but I guess 111 live." He tried to sit up, and clenched his fists as he fought against dizziness. Marcia put an arm around his shoulders to steady him. "Take it easy," she cautioned, frightened to see him suffering.

"I'll be all right in a second," ne answered tightly. He was leaning against the wall, and the color was beginning to come back into his face. Marcia stood up and looked 1 around. Suddenly she stooped ana i picked up a heavy Iron weight. Look," she said.

"This must have fallen on you." 'Fallen?" Larry laughed sharp ly. "You mean a good strong arm hit me with that."

On the train meets a handsome young doctor. Larry Norton, from Stipstown. who knows her father and becomes interested in her. At Stinstown. she finds that her father has bought a house, the large beautiful, but forbidding- looking estate.

She dislikes the place immediately its heavy steel door and ceil-Uke rooms but her father insists that it will be very comfortable when the repairs are out in. Next day. local carpenter refuse to work for Mr. Howards. Larry believes that this is the work of Sidney Allstone.

a powerful man in the town, who is his bitter enemy, and may have seen Howards with him. Marcia and Larry aro out to the house that afternoon, and while there, Sidney Allstone comes to call. Marcia is surprised by the handsome appearance of the elderly man and finds him very agreeabie. When he leaves she turns to find Larry, but he has disappeared. CHAPTER VI TARCIA stood quite still for several minutes until she could quiet the hammering of her heart.

There was absolutely nothing to be alraid or. Probably Larry had discovered the way to the attic, and the house was so solidly built that he could not hear her call. Calm- ing herself, she sat down on the top step to wait. The house was still as a tomb. The shadows were lengthening and In another hour it would be dark Marcia stood up Surely if Larry had found seething interesting, ha would have come to tell her by now.

She began to wander through the rooms Perhaps Larry had found a trap door. Apparently then there must be a stairway, but although she searched carefully, she could find no sign of an opening in the walls. By this time she was thorouhgly alarmed. Something had happened to Larry. Of that there was no longer any doubt in her mind.

Fear made her heart pound and her hands feel cold, but her brain worked rapidly. She must go to town for help. Strangely, however, she was reluctant to leave the house deserted until Larry was found. He might be injured and need immediate attention. She leaned against a table, trying to decide on the best course of action.

Then suddenly she made a discovery. The table was filmed with dust, but on the top of this in the center were little bits of plaster, and at one corner a smudge that might have been made by a rubber-soled shoe. Mechanically, she looked up. The ceiling in this room was of wood with heavy oak beams. Then where had the plaster come from? A sudden idea came to her, and in her excitement she forgot her fear.

Quickly seizing a chair, she placed it on the table and clambered up. The house was old and the ceiling high. She could just touch it with her fingertips, but as she pushed It seemed that something moved wider her hand. Squinting now in the fading light, fhe thought she made out the faint outline of a square trapdoor. Her head thumping wildly, she get down and took another chair.

After one disastrous attempt, she succeeded in placing It securely on top of the other. This time she was quite close to the ceiling, and praying that she would not fall, she pushed upwards. Her guess had been right! There was a trapdoor, but it was heavy and moved only slightly. Breathing quickly, partly from emotion and partly from exertion, she waited a moment and then tried again, her arms aching and her face flushed. The trapdoor moved slowly up now, squaking a little on its hinges.

Her muscles straining, siie forced it up until It fell back on the other side with a clatter. As she hoisted herself up on her arms, her foot caught on the back of the chair and it fell to the floor. For a moment she hung there, half in and half out of the ooenine. Then siowly she squirmed forward until she got a knee up. Dirt and bits of plaster caught in her nostrils and throat, choking her.

For a moment i she on her face, trying to catch her breath. She sat up, blowing her nose nd i pushing the hair back out of her eves. The place was dark, but from the little light coming from below sie could see that the walls were whitewashed, and the floor under her was of smooth, polished wood. Standing up cautiously, she lighted a match. In flickering flame she made out an electric switch in the wall nir her.

Then the match buraed her fingers and she dropped It. Hardly daring to believe that Always Cool and Comfortable niiaiaaiD TODAY and TOMORROW WED.
