When at last Jose Quintana had @ecured what he bad been after for years, his troubles really began. In his pocket he had two million ollars worth of gems, including the Flaming Jewel. But he was in the middle of a wiid- erness ringed in by hostile men, and obliged to rely for ald on a ha: of the most desperate criminals in Europe. Another matter worried Jose Quin- tana: he was not only short on pro-| visions, but what remained wis cach-} ed in Drowned Valley; and Mike!
