Chapter 25 WHAT GRAHAME SAW $ good a place as any to look upon what was happening on the other side, Frank thought, bar- ring possible snakes under the loose rocks,—for vaguely he re- membered having heard that the na- tives avoided these places usually. He rested against some piled slabs at the top. Their careful de- tour and ascent had taken the bet- ter part of an hour. Cautiously he adjusted his body so that he might Deer over the top. He stared with growing amaze- ment. He lifted his head over the natural parapet, but, at a whispered word of caution from Juan, sank back. The morning’s mists were dissi- pating, but still they made a hazy background for a number of rect the conventional breeches and put- tees of civilization, their heads cov- ered with sun-helmets. While their limbs were unhampered in any manner, the American noticed that the armed men that followed pressed them closely, with guns held at the alert. The small column began the as- cent of the pyramid. About a third of the way up one of the putteed figures seemed to lag. A guard, re- versing his rifle, put the butt of the weapon-against the prisoner’s back and pushed with rough insistence, The man turned, and Grahame saw him lash out with his fist with Anglo-Saxon abruptness. The guard fell, and rolled toward the bottom steps. A confusion followed. A rifle barrel glinted in the sun, and thwacked against the helmet of the aggressor. The head-covering spun like a white ball in the air as the man who was struck collapsed to the steps. The other figure turned and struggled through the confusion to reach the comrade who had fallen. The guards closed ahout. BRUPTLY they separated. Rais- ing his binoculars Grahame saw, descending from the house atop the pyramid, a tall figure. clad in san- dals and breech-clout. The head Grahame adjusted the powerful lenses. @ngular stone buildings somé dis- tance ahead of them. For an in- stant Grahame thought that the fungle vapor was playing pranks with his sight. People were moving about, clad {m the traditional costume of the ancient Mayas, The men were Baked except for short. tightly Wound cloths about their middles, The women were covered by long loose gowns, of white material, cut Square at the neck, and bordered with bright embroidery. ; Both sexes wore sandals, The Men's hair was worn long, cut Squarely at the neck, anu bound by @ cloth around their foreheads; the Women’s hair fell down their backs {a one long braid. The amazing fact was that the skin of some of the inhabitants of this strange city was light,—bronze to be sure, but yet undoubtedly Caucasian. The mists parted. The bulldings, irregularly spaced, stretched: attead of Grahame fotmore thane mile.— they made an impressive approach to a huge pyramid that centered all the edifices like a gigantic triangu- jar bub, Its top was truncated and sur. mounted by a low squat building from which a thin column of smoke spiraled upward. ‘Yigures made tiny by distance crawled upon the side of the monument. CUSING his gaze at the base of the pyramid, Grahame made out a large voncourse of people. They had divided, and through the path they made, a smaller group of people were passing. From this party he glimpsed the glitter of car- tridgé belts and rifles. Grahame felt at his side for his binoculars. He dragged them from their case, and elbows propped above the top stone, adjusted the powerful lenses. The base of the pyramid Jeaped at him with start- Ung distinctness. Through a lane made by the massed throng, a score of natives passed. Their backs were criss. crossed with cartridge belts. Each carried a rifle. ‘Within this moving group there were the figures of two men, clad in VISITORS GREATLY ENJOY STAY HERE Colonel and Mrs. Curtis Smeet- on, of the Salvation Army, who spent a pleasant sojourn in Key West last week as guests of the local officers were very much pleased with this visit here. Col-} onel Smeeton is second in com- mand in the southern territory of Salvation Army activities, with a) great many points inc was covered with an elaborate head- dress of feathers and plumes. The guard had fallen back until it ringed the two foreign figures, ono Standing, the other prone. The tableau seemed to await a command from the descending native. One of the guards stepped for- ward and with a gesture pulled the sun-helmet from the head of the standing prisoner. ° Like streamers of light reflected from a golden mirror the hair fell from the head down past the shoulders. A woman! Grahame’s eyes blurred with the intensity of his gaze, and with fingers that were moist with excitement, he adjusted the focus of his glasses. “Juan!” he whispered hoarsely, “Juan! It's a white woman!” She half turned away from the semi-circle of guards. She seemed, almost, to be looking directly at Grahame. The American gasped. He felt a curious chill speed across his shoulders. He held his breath, @n@ felt his skin tigften. Tosome'rémofé eave-living ances- tor of is, the-same sensation would haye Drought erect the coarse hair upon his body. To Grahame, the civilized, that fleeting sense of fear gave way ithmediately to hot anger, and a great anxiety. “Janice,” he whispered. “Janice Kent!” It was odd that he fe‘t no curiosity about how she had come here. The distance between Hollywood and this remote spot in Yucatan, had been brushed away the instant he realized that it was she. Indeed his concern for her had wiped away every thought except that she was in dire need, and that he, by the happiest stroke of luck in his lifetime, was there to supply that aid if it were humanly possible to do so. He watched Janice bend and pick up hep headgear, although she did not replace it. He saw them pick up the body of her fallen companion, and watched the group pass up the steps of the pyramid, and disappear into a doorway. He waited an hour or two for their Teappearance, but without result.

Colonel and Mrs. Smeeton stat- ed, before leaving, that they had become very much impressed with Key West and its environs and said they felt the Island City was an excellent place to spend the winter season, and expressed a hope of being able to return here some time in the future.
