Chapter 45 CAPTURE _ ‘OR hours, ‘t seemed, she lay wide-eyed staring at the reflec tions from the fire that shifted over the unev». arch of the cave’s roof. Finally she drifted into slumber. . She dreamed restlessly. A k: eldoscope of dream substance shut- tled across her mind. Bits of ner Hollywood life. fragments of her Jungle experience pulsed in weird oscillation, Frank's face was there, and Lang- ton’s, ané that of poor Horatio Greene’s mixed up oddly with that of the Mexican hoy Juan. She made again the trip up the side of the pyramid to the high- priest's house. She saw again the Panoply of the ritual before the stone of sacrifice, S} smelled the resinous odor of copa! incense, and heard the flat, dismal thudding of a hidden drum. ‘The face of the high priest came closer. Even in the dream the chill, a fuexorable fanaticism of his eyes "seemed to shrink the membranes of _ her soul. »The arms of the guards ‘and the lesser priests seized her. She felt . hey throat bursting in a scream. She struggled desperately. Her eyes, snapped wide. Curious shadows loomed between her and the rosy fire reflections on the cav- era roof. A smell of unwashed In- dian bodies tingled her nostrils. She struggled ‘o arise but she could not. She was held tightly to her cot. She heard a voice shouting, charged with pain and despair. “Janice! ... Janice!” Suddenly the cavetn was filled with light. Torches flared. The girl saw native faces about her. The crossed rows of cartridges upon their breasts. She realized that she was bound to her bed. As he widered her bewildered eyes at the scene, the figure of Langton was brought forward be tween ‘wo brawny natives, He was Dound—hand and foot—but his eyes flashed and his shoulders writhed in s paroyssm of futile effort, They've got us, Janice!” he breathed hoarsely. “That devil called them ... 1 know.

It told Janice as plainly as if Frank were lying before her that they wanted her to know that Frank was dead! She cried out distractedly, “N no! That isn't what he meanel Billy, tt oan't be. How do they know? How could they know!” Langton, misery tn his haggard ‘eyes, glanced sidelong at the high- Delest. With the tascination of a bird for a snake's eyes, she fol- lowed Langton’s glance. Instantly as she met those od sidian depths, the realization surged im her that this man had called to hig people across miles of trackless Jungle and bad commanded them to this hidden valley.

From the platform surmounting the vast edifice pu.fs of incense smoke gathered and disappeared as vagrant wind eddies blew about the lofty corners of the head-priest’s house, Soon, she realized, she and Billy Langton woud proceed slowly up those dizzying steps.

Lithe muscles bunched and writhed beneath their dlack-dappled tawny skins. They were restless—seemingly forever in motion. At aight, as she lay in her room below, she could hear them above the drumming rain as they whined and quarreled, or fought over the scanty scraps of food thrown them by the guards. They were given just enough to keep them strong, and hungry and ferocious. She rested her elbows on the stone and observed them. As if by some uncanny instinct they lift ed their heads and looked at her. Thelr yellow eyes gleamed, a whine of craving sounded in their throats; almost as one beast they flattened to the ground—only the tips of their tails moved. An involuntary trembling rippled across her shoulders. Without locke or bars she was constrained to her prison. Remindful of a water moat about a castle in the days of chival ty, this was a moat of living, hun- gry jaguars. it was nearly a week since she had been placed here. The)soldiere of the ahkin had hauled them by means of ropes up the concave walls of the valley-cenote and had carried them back to the city. Since then it had rained incess antly. She knew—the women de tailed as her servants had told her 4p pantomime—that when the rain ceased she and Billy were to be taken to the pyramid top. There would be no escape this time. Even could they get so far as the underground river, that avenue was closed by the rains that had charged the caverns with water. The jungle, soaked trom the continuous down fall, was impassable, Had Frank got to thi a through the caverns—and her faith had rallied from the high-priest’s intima. tion that he hadn’t—it would take weeks for him to travel through the morass that lay between the coast and this hidden city. Horetnssux she walked about the roof. Today the rain had ceased. The sky was clear except for occasional sullen groups of clouds that hung in patches across the blue. She was grateful for this day in the open, but prayed, nevertheless | for rain. She and Billy would not be molested while it rained. The roof was like a garden—a lovely, sinister, garden. Rare tropic shrubbery was placed cunningly about. Fine fabrics were draped over the simple furniture Upon a central palm-shaded table huge bowl of fruits and condiments was set.
