Bill Langton, who crashed there months Yojore. He has beep refused by Janice Kent, the movie star, and he as turned down an offer from My- erg. the producer. to lead a party to make a picture in the Mexican jungle with Janice gs star. Mean- while Ortega, in a dittls Mezican town on the jungle's edfie. has been testhug his marksmanship by shaots ing a little dog in the main sireet, Chapter 17 ON THE BOA) OMETIME later a Iittle mestiza girl skipped around the corner and stopped short at the sight of the huddle that bad been the dog. Jhiquito!™ she cried. Her ¢hild- ish treble broke. Tears streamed | from her eyes as she fell beside the iittle body. Dust, dog and all she zathered into her arms and knejt there swaying and weeping. Grahame, strolling around the cor- ner toward the wharves, caught sight of the smafl tragedy before him, He threw away his cigaret and litted the child t« her feet. She still clung to the dog. “What is it?" he exclaimed in Spanish, brushing the dust from the little girl's dress, There was a tresh flood of tears. “My little dog! My child. My angel. Dead!” Grahame glanced swiftly at the bullet wounds and growled, “Who did ie?” “l don’t know."” her breast. “There, there,” he said soothingly. “We will take your child home and bury him fittingly. Here ...” He pressed a peso iuto her hand. “This will buy a wreath and ¢ prayer from the padre.” He lifted the child, who still clutched her pet in her arms, to his own, and strode toward the house she pointed out Sobs wrenched girl. The town was stirring from its daily siesta, as. a little later, Grahume continued his interrupted walk to the wharves. He identified the Jaunch that was tc take him down the coast, by his luggage piled upon the deck. Two men were indolently coiling ropes, and a figure sat on the deck house surrounded with oily rags and cleaning a revolver. “Senor Ortega?” asked Grahame. | “At your service,” replied the man brushing the rags aside. The American stared at the gun. “Wherr do we leave?” “Whenever = you wish. Imme- diately.” Grahame leaped down .to the launch’s deck. He looked again at the revolver. “Was it yon that 1 heard shooting in the town a little while ago?” Don Raoul hesitated. “No,” he re- plied. "1 have be.n here for hours,” The two men paused with their rope-coiling and glanced at Ortega. One of them grinned and turned his head. Don Raoul spoke to them sharply and one went below while the other loosed the :ines that held the craft to the wharf. From below came the sound of the engine cough- ing into activity. An hour later the Progreso light- house was a haz: point astern, and | the Yucatan coast a low line to the starboard as they pushed against the Gulf current. Grahame and O.tega lounged in the cockpit, smoking and idly watch- ing a school ~f porpoise roll through the waves ahead. BEF‘ORE they bad gotten under way Frank, struck by the coines- dence of names, had asked this Don Raoul Ortega if he were the one who had been in the United States a few weeks before in Hollywood. Also he had an:.cipated the an- swer, Ortega is a common name in Mexico; so again is Raoul—which is the Latin for Ralph. Nor was he dis- appointed. The man had shrugged. “A rela- tive, perbaps. Hail the gentlemen in Mexico, [ think, are related. Why do you agk? Som-~ friend of yours?" Frank had filled his pipe lighted {t. “No friend of mine,” be answered. “But I would like to ask him some questiowns .. . that he might find difficult to answer.” Ortega had given him a flickering glance. He smiled a curiously reti- cent smile. “What did you say your name was, senor?” “I didn’t say,” answered Grahame abraptly. ' He did not like Don Raoul. There was something sinister—evasive— about the big Mexican. But it was fortunate that he was able get this gransportation ‘M‘v Cape Catoche, and down the | of Quintana Roo. | Fhe Progreso port officer had told ihl. that morning that the iight- house tender would not be making “He was so young,' quavered the Raoul, a haclendado whose planta- tion was some distance along the coast, was leaving that day. Agree- ably he found a man to take Grahame's baggage down to the wharf and make arrangements for the voyage. Ortega did not look like a planta- tion owner. Haciendados kept up the traditions of th3 indolent gentle- men land-owners,—men whose air was that of being aloof from the peonage,—and whose hands were soft. - Since their discussion of his name Ortega had showed almost an im- pertinent curiosity regarding his passenger. Morcover he had disre- garded Frank's avoidance of his in- quiries. Aside from the obvious bad taste of what Grahame considered Ortega's impertinences the man seemed to be inscnsible to the fact that on the outposts of any country a man's motives were his own. There is an unwritten law that a man’s identity shall not be inquired into, nor confidenzes sought. Inquisi- tiveness sometimes had a penalty that carried a sting with it. But still he persisted. “But you cannot want to be left on a little island off the coast. That island scarcely supports a few fish- ing families.” Grahame remained silent. “The jungle, behind the coast at that spot is uninhabited, and dan: gerous.” Grahame tossed his cigaret over- side. “Yet, Don Raoul, you have a plantation thereabouls,” answered Grahame. “Yes,” sald Ortega. He watched the American closely. “i am famil far there. It is not dangerous for me.” The other shrugged his shoulders, “Then why should it be dangerous for me? I can take care of myself.” “Ah . .." The Mexican looked ex: pressionlessly at Grahame. “It ie | possible, then, that you seek a dan gerous place, for reasons of your own, where someone could not fol low?” “Perhaps,” differently. replied Grahame in HEY ate just before dusk, the inevitable beans and rice, with slabs of a delicious mackeral-like fish one of the crew had hauled aboard from a trolliine. Grahame spread his blanket in the bow of the launch and rolied himself with- in it. Ortega seuted himself in the cockpit with the two that composed the crew and th: American could hear their voices above the chug of the engine, talking Letween them- selves. Drowsily he wondered why they had set out no ranning lights but decided that the truffic in that part of the coast warranted no such pro- tection. He wondered about that point again the next day. They had been sailing within a quarter of a mile of the coast when Ortega pointed astern. The crew foliowed his ges- ture with their gaze, and Grahame noticed & smudge of smoke over the distant borizon. {mmediately the heim was put over and the launch headed for the beach and a point where the surt diminished. There were no ordere given, but one ot the men went be- low and the exhaust of the eagine immediately picked up. As they approached the shore Grahante noted that the beach swept back into the opening of a lagoon. Within & few minutes the launch passed through .he narrow straits and onto the placid waters of a la- goon that stretched back paratleling the beach. Mangrcves hid the launch from the sea. They etopped the en- gine and threw over the anchor. Grahame was curious, The three men seemed unperturbed and watched the smoke come closer un- til the steamer: unguestionbly be- came outlined as ap old-time gun- boat plowing along 0 grea speed two miles off shore. Grahame be- Meved he could make out the flag it flew bs Mexican. He asked Ortega about -this. “A gunboat surely,” he replied. wMexican.” “And we avold it?” Ortega shrugged. One ¢ould mot tell, he explained, what the military might do. They had so little to do that they might stop them and search the launch. It was often done. It was @ bother and a great anaoy- ance, 80 it was. better to avoid-the meeting. : “But even it they searched you, what could they find?” Juan, the younger member of the crew laughed, and Ortega’s face wrinkled with & ‘sort of subdued mirth, #They would find eccupation, per haps.” (Copyright, 1934, by Berbert Tonsen) that trip for weeks yet, but that Don ,“&'OHLML—_!QHM_ an .
