Push- ing with their heads, they run the logs up two Inelined skids to the platform; two elephants do the pushing and a third elephant acts as boss. | In his trunk the boss carries a few Hnks of anchor chain, which he uses as a whip ff one ele- phant falls behind. When the whistle blows they all know that it is time to stop work and eat. It makes no difference whether they have a log within a fraction of an inch of the platform; the boss drops his anchor chain and gets out of the way, and the pushers step to one side and let the log crash.

For the family of Pietro “had known Rivolla in the pt Two years before he had lived at Piasta for a time. He had appeared as a suitor for Ninez. Sternly old San- chez had ordered him away from {the threshold. And Ninez had felt relieved when the fierce’ visnged bandit had departed from the vil- lage. Mitt Then there had come a missive for the little Mexican matld, «It was from the renegade Rivolia: “Have a care!” the words of the message ran. “I have sworn to make you mine, and- Rivolla never’ falls in his purpose.” Boe | ;_ It was of this that Ninez ‘and Luig were speaking one moonlight night. The pair had seated them- selves on a bench beside the old fleldpiece. “Another month, mio Ninez,” spoke the young man fervently, “and you will be mine, Then adios! to all your needless fears of this terrible Rivolla.” “You do not know his treacher- ous nature,” fluttered Ninez, shrink- ing closer tq her manly escort, as though from a sense of protection. “My father tells me he has broken loose again with his wicked horde.” “Rivolla is a braggart and a cow- ard!” declared Luis. “It was in the | last campaign that he threatened | our little army so direfully, only'to run and hide when we advanced upon his stronghold.” Ninez smiled and forgot her fears as they strolled homewards, Luis did not tell Ninez as he bade her good-night, but he knew there was some foundation for her words. After leaving Ninez, her lover returned to the bluffs. It was his night for patrot duty. For a long! time he sat by the side of the can: non. : 3 His cloak wrapped about him to guard himself from the usual mid- night chill sweeping down the val- leys, Luis suddenly roused, as, chancing to glance across the broad stream, he saw a faint glimmer of blue light, Without disturbing or alarming any other member of the family, he aroused Sanchez. A grim smile crossed the face of the smith as he listened. His clear eye glowed with the coherent resolye of a resolute and intelligent man as he gave his directions, Luis was to carry these out. “Mount your swift horse,” direct- ed Pietro, “arouse the gunsmith and send him to me at once.

The mists slowly lifting, showed the camp of the outlaws on the opposite bank of the river. They had scaured the shore up and down stream for every stray raft, yawl and rowboat. A: formidable flotilla, all centered in a group in a little cove, showed, Beside the cannon stood old San- chez, in his hand. an unlighted fuse, His olf companton gunner was sighting the fleldpiece, “Alm low,” directed Pietro, and the fusee was lighted. “Grand old thunderer!” comment- ed the patriarch of the village, as boom and flash: and destruction haunted the face of the waters, There was.confusion on the oppo- site shore, as almost {o the last And then new excitement as Luis, with the Modiva contingent, cut off. the inland retreat of the bafied- bandits, Routed, ‘prisoners: or’ deftroyéd,, their evil career was summarily and permanently checked and the power of Rivolla broken forever.

Morley, Associated in Middle American Archaeology, with Dr. Earl H. Moris, is engaged in the institution’s program for ex- cavation of the ancient Maya metro- polis. The Tlachtli court was composed on two high parallel walls, from 50 to 100 feet apart. A stone ring, par- allel to the wall and at right angles to the floor, jutted out, near the top of either wall. Through this ring the contending sportsmen sought to wut a rubber ball by bouncing it from either wrist, elbow or hip. In the heat of the sport, the an- cient gamblers were wont to wager their liberty, accepting slavedom if they lost, says Dr. Morley’s account. The ownership of vast estates hung on the outcome of the games. Quills filled with gold dust or trinkets of intrinsie value were the more com- mon bets. e The ancient throne, recently brought to light, is likewise desc: ed by Dr. Morley’s account.
