FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 1934. — A New Serial Chapter 46 TEMPLE DRUMS ‘CANNING the sky she saw that 7 yesterday's occasional cloud Patches had disappeared. It would be a clear day—a day without rain. She made a gesture about her shoulders, as if . draw an invisible scarf about flesh that was suddenly chil. The sun rose in a suddén upheav- ‘al of purple, go.d and crimson. A jaguar snarled in the moat. Janice left the roof and retired to the sump- tuous room that was hers—hers un- til the rain stopped for a day. A remote thumping, vibrating some chord in the recesses of her mirid, came to her. For a moment she lay relaxed staring at the V-arched ceiling. Soon she was con- scious that about her silent figures were moving. s She propped herself upon an ek ‘bow and watched them. They were her servants—women garbed in the ankle-length robes square-cut and embroidered at che neck. The thumping continued. Sudden- ly she realized it was the flat sound of the-temple drum sounding out its dread summons from the pyramid top. }. The women were preparing a cos- tume.

She saw him, finally, heading the | approaching procession. It was lit- tle wonder that she had not been able to pick him out of the column. It was his limp that betrayed him to her. He was stripped to loin cloth and sandals. Some garment—a skin of some sort—was hung from his shoulders. His head-dress of fea- thers was like her own but fuller and more elaborate. ‘HE two columns joined one an- other on either side of the cage of jaguars. on Langton’s face—his blond beard could not hide thoze engravings of suffering.

She struggled, and succeeded in Tetaining her poise, She allowed. the women to dress her, passive under their ministra- tions. A sleeveless robe, such as the one she wore yesterday, but more sheer of materia: more lovely as to embroidery, was put upon her. Jeweled sandals were slid upon her feet, R minted-gold hair—that the demands of her profession had kept long—was combed in a vivid cascade down her back. A jeweled cirelét was placed over the crown of her head, a band that served as a pa hag for a multitude of brilliant "Pood Was-brought to her, a veri- fan cornucopia of abundance, but did not touch it Her throat dry. her eyes felt hot and tired. heatt'seemed a pulsing machine throbbed. ‘tnaaine of the temple drum @utinued.

She returned his smile; and thought she saw his eyes mist with a@ film of tear: A jaguar scrcamed and threw its sinewy weight against the wooden bars. Instinctively she shrank away. The bars gave slightif but held. She noted in that instant that the gate to the cage was held by tied thongs. Itseemed a flimsy prison for such ferocity. She turned her attention to a litter, upheld by four men, that was approaching from the base of the pyramid. Reclining upon it was the figure of the high priest. She had not seen him since she had been brought to the city. His tace was pale~if a shade lighter than the usual mahog- any color could be cailed pallor. His lips were grim under the beaked nose. Only his eyes lived. They examined the grouped caval- cades impassively; his glance bear- ing upon Langtcn and the gird caused his eyes to gleam in fanatic approval at what they observed. He raised his hand. As if the signal had been awaited the flat thud of the drum increased its tempo. The columns stirred into action. A, murmur, like that of spreading fire in a sun-dried savan- nah, arose in the steamy air. The throngs about the pyramid and the cenote cliffs were antici pating their perfcrmance. The stage was set;—the drama ready to be played. The prologue was done with; now the ceremony of the sac tifice was about to begin. Janice thought of the bravery of Horatio Greene in a similar situa- tion not long before. Would she be equal to the ordeal, she wondered? Would Billy?
