After his first bewilderment, Gra- Lame stood, his hand within his ban- dage, his eyelids narrowed. Greene, of course, 1ad gone mad with shoek. Quite mad. But the voice of the little man v-as clear with decision; his words were coldly sane. “Janice!” he cried. “Goodbye! And you, too, Grahame. I'm pulling a Tosti and a Brodie together. If 1 make a break for you, take it!” As he talked he shuffled backward toward the priest. His guards seemed frozen. “I'm taking it on the lam, and you'd better, too. God hates a piker! Camera! Ready! Everybody quiet ... This is the picture——Damn you!—" He spun about, and drove his fist into the priest’s throat. Again he struck, but this time fell forward against the other. He dragged him around the altar. The man clawed and strove to break the little man’s hold. But Greene's hold was heroic. He pulled them closer to the edge. They stood there locked against each other, swaying against the brassy sky. The guards seemed para- 1yzed. Whereupon a figure broke from among them. Grahame groaned. The show was over. But as the figure lurched toward those others sway ing on the brink, he heard it cry out in Juan’s voice. “Bravo, amigo!” “He saw the slight form of the boy throw itself against the two. Like a shutter snapped in a camera he saw the image of Greene and the | | priest flash over, and beyond, the | brink, Juan spun on the edge. Slowly, | almost as if he were fading back- ward, he saw the lad topple out- ward. His teeth flashed in a last smile; he was gone! A roar surged deafeningly about the pyramid. He pushed his own guards backward and strode toward Janice. One of the men clutched at his wounded arm. He ripped his gun from the bandage and shot him through the body. He clubbed his gun's barrel against the head of one of the girl's guards, and shot the other as he began to lift his gun. The man’s rifle fell toward him, anc he caught | it between his elbow and his side. man’ voice rc “rJCAKE it!"” he shouted to Janice. She took the gun and pushed | behind him. He went forward, beat- ing at face and heads with the heavy barrel of his automatic. Suddenly they were out of the crowd and leap- ing down the eastern steps of the pyramid. Frank gasped advice as they half- jumped, half-fell down the steep descent. “Run straight ahead. There’'s an airplane at the end of this straight- away. Can you shoot?” The girl compressed her lips and nodded. “Shoot where it hurts,” he advised. They were on the levei now, and Frank’s breath labored in his lungs He cursed the Wound that sapped his strength. Janice, he noted with satisfaction, was running like 2 whippet, despite the heavy rifie she carried. An armed native, coming nowhere, quartered into their path. ». There was a sigh from | tral @ from* ODDESS b llerrl ense-'l and dr tridge-clips from about the shoulder. He tossed the ammunition it pur to the plane hame scooped up an gasoline case, scarcely ng in his stride. He flung it le the fuselage. tep on that! Can you make he gasped. “Climb in the rear . Start shooting right away!” He stumbled to the starting crank and wouhd the starter. The guards were nearer. As he reached for a trut to haul himself upon the lower he heard the whip-lash of a 10t above Again the rifle cracked. He wrig- gled to the middle of the wing and wooden drew himself upright, clinging to the guy-wires. His flyer's instinct noted that t%e flying wires were ominously slack. The months of standing in the open, in the rain and blazing sun, had probably loosened all the rig- ing. He thanked fortune that the were metal, there was no fabric to rot He prayed that the motor would fire after months of ion. Three more shots, evenly spaced cracked over his head. Almost he sobbed in admiration for the girl who was coolly shooting from the plane. As he threw a leg over the cowling of the cockpit, he flashed a glance toward the pyramid. In the imme- diate foreground, scarcely two hun- dred yards away, two men sprawled on the flagstones. Another sat, face within spread knees, his rifle on the ground almost under him. Behind several were spreading out fan-wise—those in the center were kneeling in preparation for firing. l 'O the cockpit he sprawled. He heard distant firing and the whine of bullets overhead. A vicious, me- tallic ripping told him that the plane was being hit. Then the rifle from ti pit began to crash a; one-two- three in series of five, as the girl fired and reloaded. She was shoot- ing like a veteran in a rifle pit. He threw on the switch with his sound left hand and feverishly ad justed the throttle and tested the controls. Although stiff, they worked. As he pulled on the starter he made an inarticulate sound—a prayer. The motor erupted into a boom- ing roar! For an instant it held the even resonance of its explosions, then sputtered. Frantically Gra- hame jazzed the throttle. It was now or never. He could never sur- vive the salvo of bullets that would greet him if he were forced to wind the starter again. The motor coughed discordantly then settled into an even drumming that reverberated above the stac cato tattoo of rifle fire. He had noticed that the wheels were unblocked. He shoved the throttle forward. The mctor revved up unevenly but the plane began to slide forward. For a brief instant the ship rolled onward without interruption—there came a bump that dragged one wing tip against the stone. He gunned the motor and ruddered to correct di rection. He saw figures scattering ahead of him. There was another, a small- er thud, as a wing’s edge hit a fleet ing native. Ragged holes appeared in the wings. The great pyramid loomed ahead of him. The tail skid was ofl the ground. He pulled the stick to ward him. She responded, and took the air just as a crash against the pyramid seemed inevitable. He banked left. The bass roar o the motor echoed against the sid¢ of the huge monument. So close wa¢ he, that he saw the terror stricker eyes of the populace as they flat tened their bodies against the stee| | sides. As he leveled above the tree-top) he was conscious that the control were sluggish. His right arm wa worse than useless. He fought th | stick backward with but slight re | action, The effort sent the blood t | his head.
