Did you find McGrath?” Mt, Greene regained. something of his fusiy aggressiven He located Hogarth and the two camera-men, unbent sufficiently to finish, upon th ir rather thick tongued ivita- tion, the cool liquid that remained in @ quart bottle upon the table. He bundled them into their seats upon c in, The train whistled and puffed out of the station, Mr, Greene had ar- ranged his party et the rear end of their goach and placed their boxes so tuat they sep.rated them from the pa.ked and chattering humanity further forward. “There was no firet class coach on this train. The; us ally have one they told me. Another funny thing: They have a flat-car behind us with about twenty soldiers on it and an- other one behind the engine with some *10re army. “Tl have to ask their General if I can use them foi extras. We'll need a couple of hundred for the ‘yelling, howling, savages’ scenes. They look too lazy to yell and nowl much but maybe We can put a keg of veer on top * t big *ramid at the ruins and have ‘em charge it.” The train rumbled along; Mr. Greene's voice rese and fell. Janice sat listlessly in her-seat, smiling faintl: an occasional ccmment.of Greene’s amused her. Hogart. and thé two other men had produced a boti ith an odd label, and were parta'’ gofit wt’ “ -sitant c-pres- sio... and wry faces, Mr. Greene was explaining to Hogarth and his companions the proper Mayan pronunciation of Chichen Itga, the location of the ruins where their pictures were to be taken..It was apparent that none of his Hsteners were particularly in- terested. Mr. Green was proving that a guide-book could be articulate. He lifted his arm. He paused to draw a breath, Then, curiously, he half lifted in his seat. His expression was one of hurt and startled surprise. He toppled toward the aisle, and as he fell sprawling, broken glass crashed about him. The train lurched as if it had struck a solid obstruction. The pas- sengers were thrown forward. Their coach ground to a stop. A WOMAN screamed piercingly; whereupon ar by a signal other women-took up her cry, and men shouted, Janice heard, above the noise within the coach, the crash of exploding firearms. Glass trom the windows shattered about her, splin- ters flew from the woodwork. Then as suddenly as it had begun, the ined. rattle _ of, firing, stopped. There was an occasional shot, then a small volley or two, but the firing was not directed toward the coach. Janice looked at the other passen- | gers. The natives huddled together or crouched near the floor. Their first excitement had ceased and she heard them talking together in low murmurs,—the word “revolucionis- | tas” was repeated often, “Those fat beads! The only thing’ authentic they wanted was the lgrer.” A REEDY and phiegmy whistle sounded. Mr. Greene mopped his face with a wet handkerchief and observed that they'd better get ‘going as it probably was the train coming in to take them to Merida, an hour's ride in from the coast. “Tt it's any “otter when we work at the ruins,” he grambled, “we'll need asbestos grease-paint. The Kile’ : got no* in: on thi: sua.” They be-~* 1 the train. The day was cooling ‘\.. the approach of dusk and the shor. quick shower that spattered them as they loaded the boxes, made the alr appreciably more comfortable. P& Hogarth and the two camera-men were down behind their seats. A Mexican was standing in the aisle outting at the sleeve of another, and isle near her, Mr. Greene was sprawled on his face, his bare, slightly bald head within @ yard of her foot. “Hogarth!” she cried. “Greene is hurt!” Swiftly the girl knelt beside the lax body of Greene. With efficient strength she rolled him half upon his pack. She cried sharply as she saw the mass pf blood that stained coat. back from his shoul- Angers fumbled at the but- ‘tons on the bloody shirt. “Oh, dear, a knife please, somebody give me a knife, Oh, poor Mr. Greene!” Hogarth dashed « cup-full of water upon Greene's face. One of the cam- era-men ki opposite Janice and began to rip with a pocket knife at the underwear beneath the shirt. The man they were working on sighed deeply; his eyelids fluttered. ‘Ow,” muttered Mr. Greene. Another cup of water was dashed upon him. This time against his chest, The liquid slushed away the blood and showed a ragged red welt across the white skin. Greene strug- sled to sit erect. “Lie still," commanded Janice softly. “You've been hurt.” (Copyright, 1934, by Herbert Jensen) Temerrow,, av turns us in. Nigeria STEAMSHIP Co.
