temple a silent watcher rises from the darkness and brings a rifle to bear on the figure below hoppy falls to the ground first picture second row eagerly the sniper descends from the temple ruins to learn the results of his markmanship he sees hoppy lying motionless at the bottom a smile of triumph comes on his face he moves closer to hoppy and bends over him suddenly hoppy springs into action

out had an open square in the center hoppy tries the square in the coin against the metal rod the coin seems to fit it like a key curiously hoppy turns the coin in a clockwise motion suddenly a section of the wall begins to move slowly it swings inward and hoppy sees before him a secret entrance to the interior of the temple slowly he walks in he finds himself in a giant room and sees several men pointing guns at him and in the center of the room last picture a man who hoppy recognizes he exclaims simon grief and what are you doing here simon grief the man who had been arousing the citizens of buxkin to catch the chameleon says surprise mr kezidy you see i happen to be the chameleon and inside that temple and no one knows the secret entrance if they should come well let's hope they may be here next week now oh now very well over the page we go to page three see i'm right oh you're always right you bright thing you thank you i'm anxious to read that because val and arfa started back home again from their hunting trip and they've had so many accidents if you bet they have they really had tough luck their canoe was swept into swift rapids and has been badly damaged yes and after all the trouble they went through to build it well i wonder if they'll get started home today well let's read and find out right now here we go with prince valiant in the days of king arthur heck it break it gray mulkin and quince music romantic for a fair fair prince after repairing their canoe val and arfa once again on the way home they've rigged up a little sail this time and driven by the wind float along a lake big picture top row there's neither clock nor calendar to worry them with the urgency of time so they traverse river and lake in a leisurely manner alert for danger but ready to enjoy each passing day but almost at this moment the guide who had escaped from the accident in the river arrives at the castle he's taken before king agua val's father and elita val's wife and he tells them the story of the accident and finishes by telling them that val is dead his words there is a cloth that wipes the color from elita's cheek and the king's face becomes a white mask when he is finished elita smiles and bids a servant's seed that he has fed and cared for and then she turns to val's father first picture bottom row and sees a sorrow written on his face and she says have faith sire did not your son survive the siege of andel krag and steal me from two score warrior suitors did you not stand alone before the gates of samarand and bow to conquer it and did and did he not follow me to strange lands across unknown seas and bring me home have faith and then she goes to her room she sees little prince arms sitting quietly as if his heart would break and she comforts him by telling him that nothing could happen to his father then she goes through the day cheering others assuring them that nothing could happen to val but that night in the quietness of her own room although she has given courage to others she has little left for herself and worry for the man she loves drives the courage from her heart and her tears wet the pillow as she weeps with fear that she might never see her val again it was safe and not home but it's too bad he got home before val did because now everyone will believe that val is dead and they'll all be too sad yes that is too bad and there's val and r floating along taking it easy in that canoe oh i feel sad well maybe he will maybe with that sail in his canoe he'll be home sooner than we think now how would you like

the comic weekly and on the last page of the first section rusty riley magic words for the music please very well my lady gallop and run till the road is dusty give us music for his horse and rusty rusty and pete have been locked up as prisoners in the old caverns by two crooks who have robbed the milestone farm the crooks have gone back to get their loot where they had hidden it in an old abandoned house meanwhile tex is stopped in at headquarters to ask the detectives if they have any news of rusty and pete while he's there the detective has given a notice about a couple of crooks that are wanted by the fbr tex is curious about it the detective explains to him saying uh no this is just a flyer sent out by the fbi tex the kind you see in post offices about a couple of swindlers known as limie joe and the duke here take a look hmm would it be possible to lend me this notice for uh saying our maybe my short text you may keep it they always send a couple of spares and why oh just a hunch i might meet up with him sometime a little later at the farm tex is carefully looking at the notice he says thoughtfully i ain't exactly what you'd call an artist but uh i think i can do a little retouching on these ear faces meanwhile last picture top row in the caverns rusty and pete have rigged up a light for the battery of the car they turned it on and it lights up the caverns rusty says hey this was a neat idea of yours to take the battery out of your car and hook it up to one of the headlights pete yeah it'll give us plenty of light as long as it lasts it's a new battery so it ought to give us a few hours steady use rusty okay let's get going first picture bottom row the boys are still searching the caverns trying to find a way out but so far they've had no luck pete says hey gosh rusty we've come a heck of a long way looking for another way out i'm beginning to think we should have stayed put till sir percival sent somebody to let us out hey listen pete if those crooks find those troopers where we hit them or we'll never hear from them again and if they don't and they come back here you'll come better won't be to let us go rusty rusty i think we've used up about half the charge in this battery better turn back or we'll be caught in the dark okay pete i hate to give up but i guess you're right the boys turn around to start back and then they see two tunnels rusty exclaims gee will it can speed which one of those tunnels do we come through why we i think gosh rusty i don't know at this moment last picture in mr myles a study tex is handing him a notice that he has gotten from the defective tex is saying hey uh boy see just take a look at that fbi flyer i've been doing a little retouching with a lead pencil don't they look kind of familiar mr myles looks at it and exclaims why george tex is it possible sir percival and his man knobs so smart he knew that limie joe and the duke were those two englishmen who say that them yes you bet he did he drew the mustache on the duke's face and that told him the whole story well i hope they hurry to the detectives and if they can catch the crooks and make them tell where the boys are that's because

the end of the corridor flash comes upon a vast cavern that houses the Saturnians ionic ray generator he discovers that they're using the earth's magnetic field and the northern lights to blanket our planet with an electronic screen shutting off the sun's heat rays but sudden disaster overtakes flash ones man raid when a saturnian engineer spots the earth man and shouts an alarm hammer brings a swarm of weirdly armed giants rushing into the cabin flash realizes he's hopelessly outnumbered so instead of firing futilely at the attacking horde he empties his neutron beam gun into the ionic ray power plant and last picture where the earth shaking roar the generators explode upwards shattering the glacier into a million fragments and scattering the Saturnian machines over the Arctic ice although partly shielded flash is stunned in hurl skyward not only that if that's the machines that's controlling the sun rays it means that now it has been destroyed or we'll find out all these
