Grahame remembered that the man had. been carried to this height while unconscious. _ It spoke volumes in praise for Mr. Greene’s poise that his expression betrayed so little consternation. They began the déscent, with the eastern sky splitting into streaks of saffron. Grahame led the way, with Janice following, an@ Greene bring- up the rear. Greene moved slowly, his fingers gripping at the rough stone steps with the nervous anxiety of &@ man unaccustomed to height. They skirted the rocky ledge about the pit. Janice gazed at its sullen depths with frank wonderment, while Mr. Greene, after one quick glance, averted his eyes and stum- bled after them with quickened pace. | 'Phey reached Grahame's hiding place, breathless from their haste, and paused. “I think,” “that it would be safer to keep on for a mile, until-we are well into the stony country just below.

Some of the old hurt she had dealt him revived. It seemed that in every situation this girl was to pbwart him, “Does Grecne mean so much to you then that—” “Naturally.” Her tonc was final with its simplicity. Gratame’s nod was almost a bow of submission. He slipped into the corridor. He glanced at the stil! fig- ures of the guards; they would be unconseidss for sometime yet, he decided. Greene was asleep when he found him, Grahame worried, for an in- stant, that th» man's slight snore betrayed a concussion resulting from the blow be had received. But ‘as the keen blade cut into the roped, * .

We have no time to lose.” They stole into the corridor, made the turn past the burning recepta- cle, and ont before the great stone tood, chiefly cereals and meats, some Taw, some cooked. It was the odor of these foods that had accentuated his sense of hun- ger. He grasped sreat handfulls and stuffed them into the wide slits of his khaki coat.

The curious V-arched bracing, with- out keystones, which was unique with an extinet race of Maya build- ers, was apparently intact and would stand for further centuries. Grahame divested himselt of his oat, and produced bis food supply. Bach seemed conscious of the most vital business in hand. First of all they must have food and rest. Later they could discuss their circumstan- nd the events that had brought together in this ominous situ- ation. Phey consumed their meal in si- tence. Greene rolled his last bit of meat in @ fragment of tortilla and Temarked that he could do with a glasd Of dee ‘large one preferably, but lacking tHat, a halt @ gallon of spring water would do. The other man looked at him sar donically. “When the Governor of North Carolina made his classic remark to his political neighbor,” Frank ob- served, “he surely had Yucatan in mind. With luck we'll get a little water about four o'clock this after noon, when it rains. The wider you can stretch your mouth the more you'll get.” Mr. Greene looked a trace discon. certed. “I don't like you,” he said, and iting his head against a stone, he slept. But Janice and Grahame had too much to discuss for sleep. He avoided most carefully any mention of their last interview in Hollywood. He gave as his sole reason for com- ing to this country bis conviction that his friend, the lost flyer Lang- ton, had fallen somewhere within this jungle.
