Gra- hame took off b's khaki sun-helmet and set it beside the overturned wa- ter pau. McGrath's eyes stared slassily at nothing. “Poor devil,” said Grahame. “1 wish ™ had let me give him the ‘They buried McGrath in the swamp. Returning, they re-lighted their fire.

Tonight—” he chuckled. “—he sleeps with us.” The boy dressed and cooked the bird — tropic refrigeration. The cooked meat would last them through the next day. They ate, and began their march southward along the trail, Grahame pondered upon what McGrath had told him. The taking of moving pic- tures in this cruel country seemed @ little incredible. if it were authentic Tuins they wanted, there were several within a day's train ride of Merida, the capi- tal of Yucatan, and a civilized place, There was no reason for striking south of Merida into this unknown country, The wounded man had mentioned the name Ortega. While the name was @ common enough one, never- theless Frank began to have a pre sentiment that the name was re curring too often to be entirely co- Incidence. It was an Ortega whom been in- ‘he stilt thought—in Jan- ice’s abduction in Hollywood. it was Ortega who nad landed the atms @t the haciend& on the east coast. While that had happened-two weeks before, still, Ortega fn“ the Jaunch, could have been back at Merida in three days. And It Had been from Merida that still another Ortega had guided the man McGrath in a southeasterly di- ~ rection to this spot. That is, if it bad been another of the same name. Frank shook his head in puzzlement. The dying man had said others were to follow. Probably a whole group of actors and technical men, Women, too, most , He was struck with a sudden ehill. Janice Kent might be among them! ‘Supposing this was Myberg’s com- pany of people come to Yucatan for logation. He remembered now that Winslow had said that Myberg authentic backgrounds and thet this man, Urtega, was to have guided them to where bigger and| better ones were. |, This would be a beastly placesfor 5 if the\plan was to come. heré: 4 uttered ap exclamation that was irritation, half fear. Juan but at Grahame’s gruff word tinued on, sal CME, tee Indians who had ing. then, that he was one the same with the man had landed the guns. Because of that he would have some sinister under standing with these. jungle people and would not be harmed. He might even be allowed to return to Merida where he could make plans to bring the remainder of the motion picture people into this piace—and to their destruction! tg st He speculated upon the motive, then dismissed the train of thought as being unimportant Plenty of mo- tive for a criminal. Robbery for one, ransom perhaps, although the lat- ter seemed improbable since Mc Grath had been murdered without a chance to buy himself out of his @ificulty. Were there women along, “here would be another possibility. Although the night was cool, the P& sweat started trickling from his forehead, and the palms of his hands were slippery. He called ahead to Juan, who slowed bis pace unti: his back was but a yard or two ahead of Grahame. “Tell me, son,” bh said. “Have you ever seen these peopie who live in the jungle?” “Often. Wecall them sublevados —unconguered ones. The men come to the coast at the:right season and bring blocks of chicle which they sell to the agents. ° “What do they look like?” “A poor lot.” Juan spoke contem- | tuously. “Barbarians. None have ever heard of the Virgin of Guada- lupe, or of the Church, for that mat- ter, They will burn in Hell, all of them, which is a pity perhaps, since some of thera are white. I have even seen blond ones.” “What!” exclaimed Grahame. “Did you say white?” “Si, senor, white.” He chuckled in the darkness. “Ah, those Spaniards were great travelers. They tell me Cortez himself was rubio, blond.” “Have you ever seen their wo- men?” “No,” answered Juan shortly. “Nor has any other Mexican either. That is the reason, 1 think, why these jungle people hate us so, When Diaz was president, he sent troops in here who acted badly. That was years ago, They were all killed.” “H-m-m.” Grahame strode along in silence. Blood calls to blood. If there were renegade whites living in some jungle sanctuary, perhaps there was more than just robbery behind this Ortega’s plan to bring ‘the motion picture troupe-—with wo- men—into this inaccessible place. Grahame’s belief was growing that McGrath’s Ortega and the one who had taken him is nis launch to the east coast were of one and the same identity. Some instinct told him also that the Ortega of Hollywood might be the same man. He remembered how the man had run from him, his arm dangling. He ‘saw again the white jacket he wore showing plainly against the dark background as he sped toward the back trail. As he recalled how he had had this target in the sights of his auto- matic, and then had lowered the arm, he sighed. He wondered if ever he could shoot 2 man in the back, no matter how richly that man might deserve killing. if this man were Ortega, and he was in the business of luring men and women into nelpless situations for the purposes of murder, rob- bery and worse, he should be ex- terminated -like a rattle-snake—on sight. i Beating grew, cooler. Toward morning, the jungle gave way to a chain of open savannahs, through which the trail followed. Deer bound- ed up from the tall grasses, bird-life made a sleepy din; once a dark shadow flitted ahead of them, some kiad of large cat. thought Grahame as he swung bis rifle’s muzzle for- ward, “No!” called Suan sharply. Jaguar! Dangerous, You may only wound it!” A half hour later abruptly dawn broke over the tree tops. Juan turned nis head questioningiy. “Not yet,” the American replied to the unspoken interrogation. “It will be cool for another couple of hours.” They’ strode onward. Already tne mists of morning arose with humid promise of approaching heat. A small hill thrust upward ont of the brush and palmetto; ahead of them. Gra- bame wondered at its abrupt topog- raphy im a country that for some tiles had been quite flat. He stopped to adjust bis pack. Then from somewhere ahead of bdedlam broke loose. i were two Shots elosely spaced, ‘ollowed by a rattle of sustained rifle fire, There was shouffng, and a drum- ming of hoofs. Grahame grasped Juan by the arm and pulled him off the trafl. Careening down the trail toward them came a charging burro, its pack lurching and swaying with each convulsive leap. As it galloped ,| by, Grahame saw the broken tether rope dangling from its neck. With back bent the man and the boy slipped away from the trail to- ward the small hill that Grahame had noticed a few minutes before. As they crawled up the steep sides of the hill, the riffe fire ceased, but from the side of the hill opposite them they heard the sounds of many people moving about. The hill was dificult to climb without noise. Pieces of stone of conventional rectangular shape lay about. This was evidently some forgotten Mayan edifice, Grahame believed, as he care- fully tested each upward step. A jun- gle-hidden fragment built by a lost race. The country had many such.

MILIAN) | Thirty-nine strike outs featured, | yesterday's doubleheader which! | marked the first games of the see- 'ond-half schedule of the city mid- {season baseball loop. In the first game the Sluggers managed to put over a winning} tally jn the tenth round to defeat the Stars, 4 to 8, to mark their sixth victory in their last six starts. ¢ The Pirates, alternating pitch- ers every three innings, easily de- feated the Pelicans, 10-0. Of the 39 men fanned during the afternoon’s fracas, 18 of them were whiffed by the Bucs tossers lin the following manner: IN SECOND CHESS MATCH WILL TAKE PLACE ON LOWER FLOOR OF ELKS CLUB; RECIO WAS WINNER OF FIRST GAME In the rooms of the lower floor of B.

He pitched exactly 30 balls to accomplish this. Lopez allowed the only hit the Pelicans got in the last innings when he apparently slackened up after hitting the Gobblers’ short- stop with a fast toss, The only Pelican safe blow came from the bat of little Eddy Garcia, who beat out a slow grounder between first and second base. Howard Gates, star hurler, had his submarine ball working with terrific speed, and whiffed 11 Slugger batters. - Gates, although losing his game through slack sup- port»fromr his téammates, pitched a great game.and should have won it had it not been for the tough breaks.
