Juan’s arm was uplifted to push aside a tree braneb. A rifle spat viciously trom across the swamp, Grahame glimpsed the flash and saw Juan plunge sidewise into the brush, The American dropped to his knees and crawled toward the boy. “Hurt, son?” he ealied softly. For an instant there was silence, then: “I do not think so, senor. The bullet hit my pack and knocked me boy. are trying ta, avoid a bo hed gone to the Ortega to contraba For a quarter of an hour they lay quiet. Their position was embar- rassing. Ahead of them was the open swamp. Behind them the jungle, but there was a space between, and it looked impossible for them to} ress it unobserved by the hidden rifteman. They should wait until dark, but again, it was impossible to tell when: the party that hac been to the coast. would return. If it were soon, the rifleman coulé warn them with a shot, and Grahame and the boy would be neatly caught. It would he better, thought Frank, to bolt for cover and chance the marksmanship, of the ambushed man. He cold his thought to Juan. “But surely,” Juan agreed. “Ready then.” They arose and plunged toward the screen of jungle behind them. But no shot followed them. They lay panting behind a log and peered through the screen of hanging vines. Grahame thought he heard a call,—a ery coming faintly across. the swamp. He saw a flash of white as of clothing from the far side of the muddy causeway. Juan flung his gun to his shoulder bnt Grahame knocked the muzzie into the air. “Wait,” he commanded. A man vame into sight, and head- ed toward them. He lurched be- tween the upftung branches of the felled trees. His chin was sunk to bis chest and he dragged a rifle by its muzzle with the butt scraping in _ the mud. “It’s & white man!” exclaimed Frank. He half rose, but Juan caught his arm. “Wait.” This time it was Juan who spoke the word. “It may be a trick. I do not trust this country.” half rolled him over. Mud and blood smeared the face, but the man spe gE ae ( HA a HE i gs | | which had been in the vicinity of ; Cape Gracias de Dios, Nicaragua,!

The words came slowly, twisted, ag if they were strangled before they passed his lips. Grahame stored the broken sequence of words and made no attempt to prompt or question the man, . His name was McGrath, he said. He was from Hollywood and had come to Yucatan “on location.” Other people were to follow him. He hope’ they would not, and thought that they could not since Ortega, his guide, no doubt had been captured when they were fired upon from ambush three days be fore, Without Ortega they would not know where he, McGrath, had gone. Who did it? Indians, McGrath thought. He saw one while he lay hy the trail’s side. He thought Or tega had been captured because he had heard his voice talking with the others. But he couldn’t be sure. He’d been nearly unconscious: they | bad taken him for dead. “They went through my pockets,” threw me into the brush like . like a hunk of meat!” “My gum had fallen in a swamp. 1 remeinbered:that and fished ft out when I came to. They had gone—” Juan crashed through the brush and crouched, panting, beside Grahame. “Senor!” He spoke swiftly. “They come! I went back to wateh and heard them. They are just behind me! “Good boy,” breathed Grahame. LMOST with one gesture he emp- tied the pan of water upon the smouldering fire, and heaped dirt over the steaming embers. He glanced toward the trail and was satisfied that they were sufficiently screened from the company of men whispered MeGrath, “Then they | f RECIO WINNER IN CHESS GAME WITH E.

Tt was late afternoon. Grahame blessed the luck that had given them this emergency when shadows were deep. Any telltale sign they may have left h d good chances of being over-looked in that deceptive haze of pre-dusk. He saw white moving through the screen of brush/and trees; then they were abreest of him. Almost he hela his breath. On the other side of the wounded man, Juan lay. Studiously the boy kept his eyes fastened upon the moving feet that padded the trail so few yards away. Grahame smiled. It is said that jangle-wise folk can feel eyes upon them, and Juan was taking no. chances. McGrath's breathing too, seemed quieter. Mosquitoes and gnats whined at the sweat on Grahame’s face. He. ached to brush them away—to grind. bis, ome against the skin that, twitched fn protest against the pun- ishment it was taking, The cofumn of figures that passed them seemed to be without end. He saw patelies of White drifting by— the ammunition. cases upon the backs of men. Once the line halted. His hands tightened over the stock ot his rifle. There was a faint call from aheat and the fragments of white moved again. Then suddenly the last figure passed. Still Grahame and the boy lay immobile. All sound ceased. For minutes the American remained without movement, then slowly he began. to. draw one leg forward, pre- paring to rise. He felt Juan’s hand grip his ankle. Again he relaxed. He heard: his wrist watch ticking & yard from his ear. Then came a soft sound from the- tratl,—the breathing of men. It sounded as lose as if he were locked in a closed intentness of his gaze, ‘Then. shadow drifted by between |S ~ aaa aselaee tent Tt, bead off to the left sounded the gall of @ brush turkey. A small ani- mat darted into the tangle ahead of him, moving too swiftly to be tden- tifed. Again the turkey called, nearer this time Juan arose. Wings fluttered in the branches about as if his movement had dis- turbed them. “Tt is all right now,” said the boy. “It was very curious that no birds moved or called after the main com- pany passed. I knew then that oth- ers followed to protect the rear.” He drew a breath deeply. “We were very lucky,” he concluded. “That's right.” said Grahame simply. He turned and looked at McGrath. “McGrath!” he called sharply.
