At this season, it rains in the late after- nogn, and sometimes at night. It is more pleasant to be about between the showers, I think these people are all sleeping now.” Still Grahame hesitated to leave hig look-out. “If you will climb down to our packs, | will watch for you. There ls nothing we could Jo now, except learn if they take those prisoners elsewhere, Even then we could do nothing, and we might be seen here sooner or later. Also, tam hungry.” Juan smiled as he mentioned his appetite. Frank gave him an uncertain smile, “Maybe you're right, son. Let’s. both stide down. | have a huach we ough: to @d some safe Dlace not far from here, and hold a councik of war. “Not that any place near here would be particularly safe. But it ought to be nossible to find a spot where we could keep out of sight, and yet be able to get into the city’ during the night, or into the Jungle} for food.” They made a cautious descent,} and, slipped toward. the trait they had left so precipitously that morn- ing, beside which they had cached their packs. Juan was in the lead, a traitpos+ tion that Grahame usually accorded him, sinee be had found that the boy had a camny fastinct in sensing trail-danger, before he, Grahame, eould ever possibly be aware of it. They reached the tangle of fallen serub palmetto where they had left their packs. Grahame heard Juan's. low murmur of astunishment, and hurried forward. Unconscious of the ection, the American's fingers closed over the butt of his auto- matic. Juan stood staring thoughtfully at the place where they had left the packs. There was no doubt that this bad been the spot; the grass and palm leaves still shcwed inden- tations where the weighty sacks had been; but the packs, with their hammocks, their extra clothing and ammunition, with their first-aid kits and emergency rations, were gone! wp At the-instant-of discovery Juan did a thing which proved that jungle-wisdom ifs instinctive. He leaped backward toward Grahame. The American, muscles reacting to the suddenness of the boy’s move- ment, crouched. : From @ sereen of bush behind the spot where their packs had been, the naked torso of a man appeared, golden in the sunlight. He held in his hands a rifl.. In a eamera-shut- ter glimpse, Grahame saw that the butt of the gun was almost to hfs shoulder. The American fired from under his arm, the muazie of his pistol barely free of the holster. With the report of the shot, the man slipped through the bush onto his face. The rifle. falling from his limp hands, clattered against a stone. MBUSH! Grahame saw Juan's arm crook backward, and then snap forward hie a spring released from compression. A silver streak sped from his hand and into the bush to the left. There was a thud, the unmistakable sound of a k slapping into flesh and a throaty“Abh” ys. cyt Two rifles cracked. Grahame { @ tug at his collar where his shirt flared away from his neck; then tie sound of a bullet erackting through underbrush, He fire’ quickly, right and left, at the faint wreaths of smoke curling upward. He heard a ery. From the corner of his eye he saw Juan weaving backward, half crouched. He followed. Two ec- centric leaps brought them to cover. Oace again a rifle cracked. The bullet whined harmlessly overhead. The action had taken only a few seconds, Stealthily they slipped into the jungle. Behind them they heard a shot or two, and the sound of many voices raised in shouted question and answer. They ran now more openly, careless of the noise they made. Frank knew that distance between them and their pursuers counted vitally. : A half-mile from the scene of the ambush, they paused.” ~ “Where now?" asked Grahame, breathing deeply.

TWO PUPILS HAVE BOYS LEADING IN Juan shruggev nif shoulders. “It ' our legs are better than theirs— which { doubt—we might make the coast ahead of them.” “There's a chanee,” mused Grahame, “They would travel more slowly, fearing ambush. You could never hope to hide your trail. It i. worth the chance. We part here, Juan. You've been a good boy. Head for the coast the best way you can, and may luek be with you.” He held forth his hand. “And you, Senor?” “While you go east, I will head south, for a while. Later k will con fuse my trail, it | cam, and return here. They will follow me, which will give you the better chance. “No,” said Juan. “Yes,” corrected Grahame. “This ig an order. is a white woman held captive in | the big pyramid. I must see that she escapes, or—”" “I know,” interrupted Juan sober ly. “The senor is not Catholic?” =| Puzzled, Grabame shook his head; | whereupon Juap said. | “Well, that is doubtless a very | good thing. ft will not matter so | much if you die unshriven.” Despite his concern the Americar chuckled. “Beat it now, son, ; We've talked quite tong enough. | Goodbye, and again, good luck.” “Adios,” answered Juan with cretive smile. He turned, pressed the American’s hand, and then passed. into the jungle to the east- ward. | | i i ‘O Grahame, slipping southward, @ half bour later, came the thought that as Juan bad teft him, the boy bad seemed i» be most care- less about tne trail he left, So Juan was giving him, Grahame, @ break, just as he had intended giving one to Juan. The American shook his head. A good lad, Juan, What @ pity if he could not make the coast, and safety. He noticed, to the right of him, a barren rocky expanse, dotted only with spiny sisal and scrub cactus. He entered it and carefully picked his way between the vegetation, be- ing sure that his boots touched only stone, He “hoped those following him would be careless, and conclude that he was bearing south. Halfway through’the rocky field, he worked to the right, finally making almost a complete turn, so that he headed northwest, toward the habitation of his eneinies, In the late afternoon the sun clouded over, and Grahame watched the big iguana lizards slide from the: roeks and disappear into their dens. He took a lesson from these reptiles and kept an eye out for shelter. A few minutes later be found it in a heap of jungte-growa siabs,— another ruip. He entered an open- ing, and composed himself to wait until the afterneom downpour was over. Already he saw targe drops splashing over his back-trail. The shower was a stroke of luck. If he were not followed too closely; the rain would obliterate any sign he may have left. The day became dark. Lightning flickered, and thunder crashed above; whereupon ratp descended in torrents. The sheets of falling wa- ter obseured his view past the en- trance. Then, as suddenly as it be- gan, the down-pour lessened, and again his sight of the outside jungle was clear. ‘The rai diminished to: mist and stopped entirely. Grahame arose to his feet, and drawing his pisto! from its holster under his arm, was about to dismount it for cleaning. while there remained light enough to do 80, when he froze into immobility. A shadow drifted past, coming from the south. Another went by. Slowly Grahame bent into the gloom cast by the wall beside the opening. His traflers! He counted them as they faded acyoss the opening. Eleven. Enough, thought the American, to settle his account. He wondered at the skill that kept them on his trail. The rain bad been his salvation. He heard a guttural voice speak in an unknown lan- guage, and the reply flung back from ahead. This puzzled the American, as he felt that they would not be so care. Jess of sound if they believed that their quarry was ahead. Or per haps they had given up the chase and were returning. Tat was |. They had lost his trail within the stone patch, and were returning from the southward to their city. Perhaps it was only a section of @ larger party that had spread in different directions.
