. cut, presumably AL READ THIS FIRST: I Jill Justin, ultra-modern and as lambently lovely ag 20 as the Saga lily, starts out on a moon-lit night | in August, accompanied by her | brother Tony, to attend a harvest | festival. | The two run into an automobile | i:0ldsup. Jill is kidnaped by bandits, who earry her into the hills, from where she is rescued by Jack Stuart, who takes her home. It is the old story retold. Jack tuys for a visit and remains to wed the lovely Jill. The passing of two rs finds them the proud and appy parents of twin boys and a girl. Now transpires an event destined to bring about radical changes in the lives of these people. Wandering through the hills back of the Jus- tin home, Stuart stumbles onto an | old abandoned silver mine. He also discovers what he belicves to be oil- hearing rock. It is Tony, however, in the fol- lowing April, who brings in the b news. He is inveigled into the hills by a pretty girl, who tells him her rame is Mary, but that she is “call- ed Mike!"” Mary, who is called “Mike"” is driving a costly roadster, and she asks Tony to guide her to | a place in the hills known as The { Devil's Luck. Here she takes the | lead and pilots him. | NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY | CHAPTER IX She scemed actually to he pos sessed with a mad desire to goad, tempt this elementary incarna tion she admitted held such an at- traction for Tony studied her furtively, puzzled by her talk and manner.

Or was she just a bluffer, & poser, a false alarm? Well, he would give her plenty of rope, anyway The passage between the rock tormations that had been designat- ~d by Tony as The Devil's Leap. The Devil's Luck and The Devil's| lodge, constituted a narrow gors: during the glacial veriod.

They were about half /way through this gorze when Tony sud- denly halted and lifted his voice in | 4 raucous “Yahoo!” From all sides, ahove, behind, and ahead, came the ccholng responses “yahoo-hoo-hoo- 1100-00-0-" trailing out to a faint, indefinite murmur. “That's th’ Devil laughing at us.” he said, looking at his companion for some sign of fright and failing to note even surprise. She merely shook her bobbed head. “It may be your Devil"" she re- torted, with a good-natured grin. “but not mine. My devil would never give utterance to such a cat's ‘mcow’ as that!
