THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1 = Coapter 88 ‘ESCAPE PLAN FRANK scanned the message quickly, a new hope rising tumu}- tuously in his breast.’ He awakeneg ip companion. In a low voice he reed the note aloud, translating roughly in to English. the city is that you and another map and a lady are to be sacrificed to Fam-Chac at the pyramid top to morrow in the morning. It is with Hittle hope 1 write you, but I have #ecured the extra pistol and some savtridges from our packs which ‘werein the ahkin’s dwelling place, , “‘ did not gc to the coast, for ‘which please excuse me.

This 1 cannot do as your prison is very well guarded. “/There is an aeroplane in the central plaza, There are boxes of| gasoline nearby. This knowledge may be of use to you. “*After you read this, throw the 5, 1934, “Good boy, Juan. Don’t get caught. It is not that important. Come back here when you are finished and throw two stones through the win- dow. If 1 throw them back, then I will want,to talk with you again. If | I do not, then go away from here and don’t come back. Make the coast if you can and tell the authorities what you know.” “Bueno, senor, Good.” ‘They waited two hours, fretting | with impatience. Just as Grahame | had decided that something had happened to the boy, a stone tinkled against s bar in the window and fell into the cell. A moment later another bounced on the floor and rolled across it. “The kid did {t!” exulted Gra- hame. “Have we anything to say to him before he goes?” Greene pondered. Grahame stood with the two stones in his hand, | teady to return them to Juan through the window. Greene opened his mouth to speak when from with- out came the. sound of a scuffle, and | ae sharp cry. “Senor!” The word floated like a wail of hopelessness through the barred window. Grahame’s face be- came a mask of distress. “They've got him!” Grene cried | out hoarsely, 2 “Litt me up!” His tone was bit- ter. There throbbed in his breast a great wretchedness that Juan had come to grief through his last effort | t on their behalf. As his face rose above the sill he heard a thud, the rattle of metallic accoutrements and the sound of a man breathing deeply. “Juan,” he called, caring not how lond his cry sounded in the night. “Juan!” “Silencio’.” A new, harsher voice spoke from below. “The Bat will have another heart to feed upon to- morrow!” Juan did not answer. Grahame slid back to the floor. Despondency f him—a blanket of anguish. Juan, the laughing, joking lad, whose Catholic concern humordusiy congratulated Grahame that he was not of the Paith, since then it would ‘}not matter were Frank to die un- ‘There was a moisture in Frank's eyes as he tossed the stone through. + “ICs @ chance in a thousand,” he commented as he drew the cord, shriyen, was captive.

Clinging to the bars with bis sound arm, he called softly. “Senor!” Juan's voice came from sinder the window. “Is the airplane guarded?” “No, senor.’ * “Do you think you could go @ pour one or two cases into the four You will find the tank-cap in ‘the hood just back of the engine.

When ‘his coat was buttoned, Grahame be- lieved that it would not be datected. Sooner or later they could expect to have their clothes torn from them, -but that.again, depended upon what use they made of their gxns. They were small men, these jun- SDP 1 gle people. Grahame eyed them sci- entifically, as a boxer studies his rs ve opponent. They were shed toward Janice; evidently the ‘Was t6 be reunited for the final ine.**< * Grahame stared at the girl anx- dousiy: It would be horrible jf she hgd been mistreated. but. as her glance met his his tensed muscles relaxed with relief. Figg face was pale, but composed. About the eyes were traces of fa- tigue, but the eyes themselves seemed to glow with calm courage. The American permitted himself &@ wayward thought of admiration | ind of compliment, as he faced her. Ht was unbelievable, but typically feminine, that she could be so cooly self-possessed. Her skin was clean and fresh as it ahe had recently bathed: the col- lar that flared away trom her throat over the lapels of her trim khaki coat was spotlessly white. Even the boots that laced her calves, gleamed | dally as if polished. She appeared re about to step for a morning's (Catyright, 134 y Herbert Jensen) Tomorrow, Juan evens his score with Ortega.
