He passed his hand over the stubble of beard on’ Lis cheek; he ran his fin- gers through his hair in an uncon- sclous-uttempt to tidy himself.. The girl smiled. . “They left me my‘compact,” she said, still smiling. Grahame chuckled, then abrupt ly his expression sobered. “Have they told you. ..°.” | While her smile was fixed, he no- ticed the blue of her eyes darken. “Yes,” she said quietly, “I know. Is there any hope at all?” . The guards seemed very still. Although they were speaking in English he observed that some were Pressing “close, as if listening. Grahame’s glance met the girl's lev- back crawl with anticipation. His thoughts skipped again to the pos- sibilities of his getting to it, and the Probable chances of his taking off successfully.

I can’t say anything" The activity of her guards interrupted her. They were hedged through the doorway and into the early sun- light. Grahame blinked his eyes at the shimmering glare. A few. hundred “yards to the left the serrated sides of the great pyramid slanted up- ward toward the temple-house. In the quiet air above, a column of smoke streamed straightly upward, then flattened as it touched some Rew atmospheric stratum. Crowds of people cling to the sides of the huge monument and they made by their guards, they saw that the concourse was composed of both men in their breech-clouts sandals, the women in their long cotton robes. Some of ths women carried children upon their hips, older ones, solemn eyed people, by the hand.

'¥Y mounted the eastern steps. This side was clear of people, whether because of official man- date, or because the show would be more interesting on the side facing the pool of the cenote; at any rate, Grahame made a mental note of the fact. As they topped the last of the steps he looked backward and to- ward the central space within the elty.

The man’s Slance fell, and he attempted no repetition of the blow. “Senor,” he continued in his liq- uld Spanish, as if there had been no rruption, “I have made you happier. { told them, when | was taken, of the sympathetic assist- ance that Don Raoul Ortega gave us.

His, apparently was a pitiful plight. ‘The man’s Ups were flaccid with panic; coherence was lost in the ene sentences that tumbled em, “He Hes! The boy lies! 1 tell you | am your friend.
