When his vision cleared he felt the ipper branches slap against the landing gear. | Savagely he fought the controls The effort sent blinding pains hrough his Lrain. He was conscious »f a great crashing noise. i Eons later, it seemed, he dreamed hat he was struggling through in- | alculable jungles. It was very,real 0 him. The smells of rotting vege tation were bitter in his nostrils. | Trees and brush weaved like un realistic phantoms before his eyes From time to time a variety o astes spread over his palate, as it e had eaten of jungle fruits; twice his brain dwelt in dull wonder that water could taste so sweet even in a dream. | His body felt as though it were encased within hot metal. When that nightmare became too painful to endure, all his senses became blank again. After a period of time the dreams would recur. 1 When finally he awakened, it seemed that he had been sleeping forever. The air about him was cool and gracious. He opened his eyes. He was lying in a palm clump. He saw the drooping fronds above, outlined against a sky brilliant with stars. Memory swooped upon his consciousness like a great and e bird. He struggled to a sitting tion. A small fire burned nearby. “Janice!” he cried. “Janice!™ “What is it Frank?” She stood before him. The fire: light illumined her. He stared in| amazement. He trim costume was stained and torn, her laced boots were cut to tatters. He observed that her face seemed thinner of contour, and the skin was pink and peeling as if it had been blistered. At first he thought she was wearing gloves but a closer glance showed him that her hands were bound with white strips of cloth. “Where's the plane?” he asked. “What happened? We crashed, | know. 5% She looked at him with an ex- pression of puzzlement. “Of course,” she answered. “This morning.” Her face lighted with dawning understanding. “You were delirious. The ship went down in a savannah. It rolled awhile over the open until the ground became swampy. It struck something and went over on its nose, and then righted itself. It sank to the lower wings. It started to burn just a little at first, then very fiercely. “}/0U sat there holding to the con- trol as if you were made of wood. Your eyes were wide open. I thought for a horrible instant that .o that. ., “I know,” “Go on.” “There was one of those big knives the natives use, in a leather case, strapped beside the fire ex- tinguisher. I cut the belt that strapped you in. The buckle was twisted and I couldn’t loosen it. The flames reached you. You began to move then, I tell you.” She smiled wanly. “I had to leave the rifle; it was too heavy. 1 knew we had to get away from there. 1 thought the smoke from the burning plane might bring those natives after us.” She shuddered a little. Her eyes filled with tears, and she dropped to her knees beside him. “Poor Horatio Greene, and that little Mexican boy!” She wept quite openly now, and Frank threw his arm over the slim shoulders in a clumsy attempt to soothe her, His said Frank softly | enéa the | der. own throat was tight. by Herber?

Sometimes you would fall, | and lay as if you would never get | up. But you did. ‘Once you fell in a pool of water. I got you out. Your face was cov- ered with slimy things that wig- gled. I brushed them all off and fished in the pool for the knife you lost.” Frank “No,” glanced at her hands. she said, anticipating his tion. “They were blistered from the knife.

The girl nodded and hurried on. “It wasn't so bad. This afternoon, | when [ thought 1 couldn’t fight the reepers another minute, we tumbled on an old road that | seemed to lead in the direction we wanted to go. It was like a con- crete road at home, only the stone blocks were smaller.” | “I've heard of them,” said Frank. | “The old Mayas built them.

The | routine of th~ studios, however ex- | acting, had at the day’s end warm | baths, massage and proper food. | Here—no one knew better than ‘ Frank Grahame—the privations of the jungle would be brutally swift | and murderous. ‘ The rifle was gone.

They must depend upon the after- noon rain, or else drink the brack- ish and germ-thickened water from the swamps they might pass. Fur- thermore a casual wound, the small mishap of a thorn scratch might become infected and prove more deadly than snake bite. As he watched the fire dwindled. Mosquitoes sang closer. A slight sound in the surrounding darkness made him realize that jaguars were ferocious cats and might be lurking about. Gently he allowed the limp form of his companion to rest upon the ground. He took off his coat and covered with it the upper part of her body. He threw fresh fuel upon the fire, ta\ing care that some of it was green.
