RRAD THIS FIRST: Jill Justin, uitra-modern and as lambently lovely at 20 as the Saga 3 lily, starts out on a moon:lit night E in August, accompanied by her R brother, Tony, to attend a harvest festival. The two run into an automobile hold-up. Jill is kidnapped by ban- dits, but later rescued by Jack Stu art and returncd to her home in 3 Elliston, W. Va. 3 1t is the old story retold. Jack stops for a visit and remains to wed the adorable Jill. Life is kind to Jack and his bride, 3 and the passing of two yvears finds 3 them parents to a pair of twin boys and a girl. Now comes the Great Event. Stuart and Tony Justin buy a tax lifle to property in the hills, incor- porating an old abandoned silver mine, One day in the following Aprll Tony meets a pretty flapper, Who is ealled “Mike.” She s driving & sport roadster and asks him to cuide her to a place in the hills nown as The Devil'’s Luck.

Here ghe suddenly Cixappears, but after a few minutes reappears, man whom she introduces as Pat Sweeney. her father. Following “hort 'talk, Mike shows Tony th wecret of her mysterious disappear- nce, This is an electrically operated door, rocky wall, and connecting with an- other chamber fitted up as & Jab- oratory, Tony has already learned their tax title mine yields a tung- sten-bearing ore of rich content. Tony listens to an offer of $100,- 400 from Pat Sweeney for & one-| fourth interest in the tax ttle g purchase. Tony agrees to talk the proposi- tien over with Jack Etuart and his tather, Peter Justin.

In response to a telephone invita- tion Pat Bweeney, acocmpanied by his daughter, Mike, arrived at the Stuart-Justin home shortly after § 3 that evening.
