Or- res that Janice will not Chapter 32 THE THREAT ASY, Greene old tioned Frank. “I'd like to write his obituary,” snarled the mild Mr. Greene. Ahkin's voice spoke, flat with fi- nality. “She dies with the others!” Greene was breathing rapidly, He turned to Frank. “I didn’t get all that. What did he say?” Ortega had spoken to them fin English. Frank did not believe that priest understood the lan- zuage. Yet he must have understood the substance of what Don Raoul had told them because his threat against Janice had tied in with their man,” cau- He muttered to Greene, “I'll tell you later. Ortega, listen to me: You're a white man. This native here is mad. You can see it in his eyes.

Get you, hear me! 1 know a way!” Ortega smiled uncertainly. “The girl will be all right,” he said in Again the priest spoke in level tones. “She has eaten, with these men, the food of the Gods. She has sinned. Yum Chac will not accept her alive as a bride; he will take her dead as food.” Ortega’s face paled slightly, “No,” he said. “We did not agree upon that.” Grahame muttered in English, “The man is mad, i tell you!” The high-priest’'s glance exam- lied Ortega coldly. “Senor Ortega,” he said softly in his slurring Spanish. “Has it oc curred to you that your usefulness in this matter is ended? In fact, l‘ am wondering about your future “What do you mean?” Don Raoul moistened his lips. “Yesterday a runner from Merida told me that the revolution has end: ed, unsuccessfully.

Greene mopped his forehead. “Whew!” he exclaimed. “I'm wringing wet. I wonder if I've got fever. Between that big slob Ortega making me hot, and that wicked looking priest giving me the chills, [ shouldn’t wonder. What all went on? [ didn’t get half of it.” Frank considered. He wondered It he should tell Janice’s press-agent all the implications. The little fel- low had proved his courage. He was a little ashamed of his former an- noyance with him in Hollywood. Hollywood! Eow remote it seemed. He decided to explain the situation to Greene in every aspect. Two heads were needed to pool every scrap of information that might be of possible value to them | In their extremity. While Greene was excitable, the chance of his flying off the handle must be taken. He said in as light a tone as he could muster: “Got your notebook, Greene? This is the hottest stuft you've ever | heard.” Greene sighed. “I wish I had it at that, only—" He studied the bars of the window. “—Myberg grobably wouldn’t let me use it if I could.” Despite himself Frank smiled slightly. The little press agent’s ob- session labeled him an artist, He spoke to Greene primarily to Inform him of the circumstances and also to piece together and clar- Ify the bits ot information that were swarming in bis own mind. “We're in a bad spot, Greene,” he began. “I'm amazed at just about everything I've seen and heard.

As the moon sailed higher it threw Hi he | 1ts beams against their prison. The | rays filtered through the two open- ings in the walls above him. He heard Greene tossing. Finally he must have slept a little. He came awake suddenly, as a dog awakes, senses alert but with body motionless. Some sound, he could | have sworn, had broken his rest. | Greene was breathing deeply but | with the regularity of the slum- berer. ‘ He placed his feet upon the floor, ‘ and with eyelids widened, strove to pierce with his gaze the darkness ‘ that blanketed their cell except for the two silver patches of moonlight, | that stabbing through the windows, | sprawled one upon the wall, one 1 upon the floor. | Across the moon-patch on the | floor, gridironed with the shadows | of the window bars, a faint gray tracery seemed to wriggle toward him. In an instant he was upon his feet and stepped softly toward the center of the cell. His toe touched an object: he stopped and picked it up. It was a stone, the size of a large walnut. Tied to it was a strong white cord that lay along the floor to the wall, then up and out of the window opening! He tugged gently upon it. Imme- diately there was an sanswering He drew the cord to- ward him without further resist- ance, watching the window. There was a flicker of white at the sill, and with a faint plop, a paper, rolled like a scroll, fell at his feet. His fingers trembled slightly as he untied the string that secured it. He uwrolled the paper and found that it was a message of some kind penciled in Spanish. He held it to the faint light. It was addressed to himself, beginning with the elab- orate salutation of Spanish punctil- io, *Muy estimado senor, y mi amigo Don Francisco Grahame. . , " It was signed Juan Piedra—the lad who by this time, had he escaped the search parties, should have been well upon his way to the coast!
