THE NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE

"Linn, c,ct lirlow lit once! LppsV
hurl hliuselr somehow, lie hasn't
fllgmilled, imct may bo dylmj. Hurry
on with your milt, iniiti!"
It wns nil In the day'H work to
Lluti. He Kot quickly Into his diver's
BUlt, adjusted the harncHS imd the
oxygen niiiiik, und whs lowered Into
the depths. The two men relieved
each other In working on the wreck
of the Karlowllz.
Nevertheless, there wiih time for an
Infinity of thoughts to flush through
Linn's hend. And they revolved, as
they always did, nronnd Annette, his
bride of six months. Leeson und he
hod ln'cn rivals for Annette. She
hnd heen engaged to Leeson, hut a
quarrel had supervened, and Linn had
Btepped In and won her on the re
wound. That was six months ago, and Linn
hud learned the tragedy of a lovo
lew marriage. Hardly a word hnd
tmesed between them hut Annette
had gone about her dally duties grow
ing thinner and ()utelert And I.lim had
wondered.
Until that niornlng a week before,
when they hnd had It out together,
"Yes, I love him," Annette had said.
"I Khali always love him. But I will
be true to you as long as I live, and
I shall never see htm agnln."
Linn hnd turned away, stupefied by
the tragedy. He loved Annette with
all the devotion of a man of his type,
glow, methodical, tenacious, how
could hp, fifteen years Annette's elder,
hope to win the heart that she hnd
given to Leeson.
Between the two men, there hnd
been no change In attitude. Hitch
knew, and each continued to respect
the other. Yet Linn often wondered
whether Leeson had the same Insane
desire to kill Mint he hnd.
Wellhe put those thoughts aside,
and, with the weights on his feet,
whs lowered down through tho dim
depths to the shadowy hhlk of the
wrecked Karlowltz. Now he was on
the ocean ooze, and working about
the wreck, looking for Lee-son.
He found htm In the hulk, lying
lU'cn hl sMc. lie stooped and pushed
hint. Leeson did not stir. Hastily
Linn examined Leeson'a oxygen mask.
There was nothing the matter with
It. , The cord was not twisted.
Then In the gloom he perceived n
shadowy monster like an enormous
crub' squatting over tin prostrate man.
And n huge tentacle shot out.
In an Instant Linn knew. Leeson
had been seized by an octopus, one of
tbg-giant squids that Infested those
waters. It was of unbelievable S'Z,N
and the eight arms rose and fell In
wavy outlines, rippling In the water.
Linn, overcome with horror, hesita
ted only an Instant. Then he set
his feet against the rotting timbers and
strove with all his force to detach
Ltioaon.
He might ns well have tried to tear
apart a boulder of granite. Tho
octopus had Its victim fast. Linn saw
tho little, vicious eyes on eltaer side
of the parrot beak, ready to tear tho
flesh from the unconscious man.
Horror overcame him; nnd then of
ft sudden Linn sav tho only hope for
Leeson. There was no other way, and
It required all the determination of
which lie was capable In order to take
tbnt path for Annette's sake.
As one of the tentacles of tho
octopus was raised from Its victim
Llnn stepped In between and plnccd
his thigh beneath tho monstrous pro
trusion. And he felt the octopus's
suckers close upon It.
A second tentacle was raised, Llnn
placed his other leg benenth It. Two
suckers now grasped hlmslx hold
Leeson, Two suckers could he torn
wny--even three, ho thought, as tho
third gripped his waist.
He had unstrapped the weights from
Leeson's feet nnd chosen his position
by tho time the fourth sucker held
ldm by the shoulder. When the fifth
vvns raised Llnn Interposed his right
arm. Only three suckers held Leo
son now.
The sixth descended round Linn's
harness. Tho seventh hound his riglit
arm to his body. The eighth hovered
In the air. But Linn's right bund
wuh free free enough to enable htm
to pull the signalling cord and to glvo
Leeson Just the little pimh Unit was
required to free him from the Umbers
of the Karlowltz.
Llnn huw Leeson's body iloat slow
ly upward. IIo brenthed a vast sigh
of relief. Leeson would live. Tbero
was oxygen enough within the air
mnsk to maintain bis life till he was
at the surface.
The eighth 'sucker gripped his right
arm. And, hound In tho strangling
coils, Llnn, behind his mask, laughed
Into that beaked embodiment of evil
that confronted him.
"It was for you, Annette 1" ho
thought Imd tbnt was tho Inst thought
that enmo to him.
