Chapter 47 REUNION IN YUCATAN re VOICES may exist without vis- ible, corporeal authorship. then these volces were undoubtedly dis- embodied. “This ethereal dialogue was in Spanish. One voice was smoothly eadenced, soft with the accent of one using his native tongue. The other ghost voice was harsher—un- doubtedly masculine also—it spoke abruptly, » vagantly, accented like a er’s, and laden with bookish polysyllables. ‘The abrupt voice sald, “Miracles, my friend, are out of fashion. True, ps the Virgin did appear to the poor peon at Guadalupe. But that was nearly four hundred years ago, Today—as it did then—it takes two to make a miracle. One to perform it, and at least one, cer tainly, to believe it.” » ‘The voice coughed complacentiy. and continued. “That's sound phi- losophy. While it is not original with me, .t might well have been. | heve written cleverer things. “No, miracles are unfashionable. ‘The wisdom of the public Is a ter. rible thing. Could | perform a mir. acle—and | do noi say that { cannot what would be the result? The Pubiie would pu: fits tongue in its cheek, it would slyly pull down the corner of its eye and say that pub- Meity mén should be confined to agylums!” The voice ended upon & note of g1 vance. The softer voice chuckled. “You seem cart, senor, that people no vl they ure cpa aa it ", exclaimed the mphasis. “{ bave cation to ric ut—marvelous matters—that shoud astound the world. But will | ever be permitted to write about them as only | can Write about them? No! Certainly not! 1 shall be told that they are too extraordinary. Nobody would believe me!” A gust of wind, a sound like a spattering cascade of rain obliter- Sted the voices for a moment. The Diaekness was split with a flare of Mghtning vividly sustained. The figure of a man stirred in corner of the dark enclosure. He seemed half buried in swaths of palm teaves. His clothing,-a mass of wet rags, clung to his powerful frame. His bair was black sad damp, bebrd-stubble served but to| da aceentuate the strength of bis jaws and ehin. He pushed himself to his bands and knees. The voice with the foreign accent again took adventage of a inli in the thunder. “Juan, my boy. you. should consider yourself jucky that you're not a genius. Believe me, suffer more because of my talents than | do trem my faults, although if 1 do say it myseif— “Zowie! What a crash that was! Look at that flash! ... Juan! He's censcious! Stir up the fire. Frank! Frank! it’s me, Frank. Horatio Greene—” Excited\y Jua was blowing upon the near dead embers of a fre. Greene feverishly hauled dried Daim leaves and driftwood toward him. A small flame broke out; then the pe blazed up. Frank Grabame sat apright upon the heap of palm leaves. He shook hts head as it t- clear tt. For an imstant he stared at the two anxious faces turi ed toward him, one dark and draw” with concern—the Meyi can boy, Juan—the other white but gaunt and stubbied with weeks of unshaved beard. ATED grin spread over the face You were speaking Answer me this one, am Uhére—and allve—and Juan?” answered with an excited {t. We picked you out of his afternoon. Thought bebye. But—" . Raph ly he explained. When ne Juam bad upset the ceremony thé pyramid top, and had jed Into the depths below, thev had been sucked into the down- stream cavern. They bad lost sight of the nigh priest after they had struck the-surtace of the pool. Clingtng to driftwood they had daring » day and a night, ta the darkuess the cenote- where Janice and he had “angton. They drifted down inderground river to the spot wihirwey on the previous day wied out to the jungle for oetat pause in his journey. Instead of floating the remainder of the distance. as Grahame had Gone, the. made their way on foot the jungle to the coast. Here had been for several days ry hoping to signe! a fishing craft that might take them to civilization, where they could secure help and ; return—if it were not too late—to lend assistance to Janice and Billy. The previous evening, on a crude raft they had constructed of drift- wood, they had paddled out to the well of fresh water that bubbled in the sea. Thcy had discovered Grahame floating—his balsa-wood life jacket keeping his head above the water. At first they had thought him drowned but finally they decided he was uncouscious from exhaustion. When the downpour had become steady they sought shelter in this abandoned Ashing hut. Frank iold them bis story. He ex plained hew vital it was that they secure help and return to the valley in the Jungle. Dawn found them staring soberly at the heaped ashes and coals of their fire. They had exhausted every possibility that involved the three of them returning to the cenote-va'lo>. They realized that they could do nothing by them. selves; they must get outside help somehow. Juan told them that dur- Ing the ra‘ny season the jungle was almost impassable to travel afoot. T THAT comment Frank stared thoughtfully through the door. way that was just beginning to show a patch of lightened sky. During. the following two days Greene kepi up a continual rapid fire chatter. The little man, Frank realized, was on the verge of .a breakdown. The hardships be had gone through were unaccustomed ones. Moreover he could see that tte plight of his emoloyer and the fate of the motion picture party was con stanily on his mind and his inane chatter was more to keep his mind from the subject than for personal amusement. On the morning of the third day, Frank, sitting out at the end of a sandy promontory that jutted into the sea hea.d the sound of a motor. Visibility was bad. Suddenly, in the north he saw the outline of a plane against the mist. His shout brought bis two companions running toward him. The three danced and waved, upon the sand. “He's got to see us!” screamed Greene. “It's the mail plane to Cozu- mel! There won't be another for y3 The plane droned on. The three castaways caught ap palm fronds and waved them. Greene circled his ragged jacket about bis head. The airship kept io its course. Long after the ship disappeared into the southern mist they waved ad shouted mechanically. Finally hausted, they sat upon the sand aud stared at each other miserably They were too discouraged to hunt for the conch shell-fishy that were exposed at low tide, and which had Provided them with scanty nourish- ment. Once, miles at sea, a white steamer passed north bound. They stared at it hungrily. It was tate in the afternoon when Frank lifted his head. There was an unbelieving look in his eyes Suddenly Juan imitated him Greene scrambled to his feet. “It's the.plane! Hear it? it's—” The plane—it looked like the one that had passed in the morning— was returning. It was flying lower and close inshore. Suddenly it dropped and zoomed. Banking in to ward them the engine gave a series O staccato roars—as if it was sig- nalling acknowledgment to the three wild men who danced upon the beach. It awerved away back toward the south; then banking again it head- ed upwind toward them. Waves Spurted beneath its pontoons. With spinning propellers t drifted to a ‘step a few yards out from the beach. Prank was already in the water swimming toward the craft. He hauled himself up over the pon: toons. The helmeted pilot ott bim quizzically, , “You three guys bave been on my conscience all afternoon. But | was carrying mail. What on your mind? Say .. . you speak Eng- Wsh?...” Frank, gasping for breath, strove to answer. The pilot called out ina jouder tone, “You hablo English, Hombre? What's—” . “Keep your shirt on, mis- ter. Sure he speaks English. 1 in- vented it and taught him how. That's Frank Grahame a little out of breath!” The pilot's jaw dropped. “Grahame ... my God! the whole ited States is looking for you and—Where've you been, man?"

A, A. stock car rac ;at the Los Angeles municipal air | port on the afternoon of Feb- ruary 18. “Stubby” Stubblefield drove the winning Ford V-8, negotiat-; ing the rough 250-mile grind in 4) hours and 46 seconds, with an} j average speed of 62.36 miles per! hour. The course was one of the | most difficult, with sharp, flat | curves, dust, sand and ruts, built; to test to the utmost the auto- | mobiles which attempted the race. | Only stock cars, the same as are sold to the public, were al- | lowed to compete. Out of many | | entries, the Ford V-8 won the} first ten places. Four other makes / of cars entered in the race failed | to finish. This victory recalls similar tri-: umphs of the Ford V-8 last falli in the Elgin National Stock Car Race, in which Ford V-8’s won the first seven places; the Inter- national Alpine Trial, negotiated over 1,165 miles of Swiss, Italian and French Alps, with Ford V-8’s capturing the first six places; and the Laredo-Monterey Road Race, in which the first and sec- ond places were won by Ford V-8’s and the third place by a Ford Model A. “This recent triumph in the Los Angeles stock car race adds just another trophy to the Ford V-8 shelf for superb perform- ance under the most difficult con- ditions.” commented C. J. Seyf- fer, manager of the Jacksonville branch of the Ford Motor com- pany.
