The setting sun found Grahame Sprawied across the cockpit pencil- ing a note that was to be sent from the nearest cab‘e office. Within an nour or two, he hoped, duplicates of this message would be in Myberg’s office and at Spin Win- siow’s apartment in Hollywood, two thousand airline miles away. Grahame gave the pilot parting instructions. “It’s hurry-up that Counts. This beach here {s about Bfteen miles long. Good landing ‘spot for a land plane. “We'll be here at the northern end.

She was aware that Langton was talking to her—rapidly, incoherent- ly. She lited her head; her eyes focused; from out of that queer state of unreality her mind began to function normally. The litter supporting the high- priest had been carried halfway up the pyramid’s steeply slanting steps. The jaguar cage was being slowly advanced up the slope. She stumbled a little as ner feet found the first step. The hum, she | realized was tangible. It wa. louder —@ deeply cadenced drone that was curiously familiar. Then quite suddenly she under- stood J.angton’s shouted words. “It’s a plane! Janice, look up!” She glanced skyward. Her glance focused on a point above the east- ern jungle almost in the eye of the | rising sun. She saw outspread sil- ver wings; topaz flashed upon the fore-shortened body. The dark lumps of the three radial motors were silhouetted sharply. It was approaching with amazing rapidity, slanting in a long power glide toward the pyramid. Above the growl of its engines she heard the Screaming to his guards. She saw the body of the column spread out. The armed guards were racing in various directions. They appeared like tiny pawns on a huge chessbcard. Some still ran; the nearer ones knelt, holding their rifles before them pointing at the approaching airplane. The rifles began to crack sharply. Suddenly the plane was over the square. [* zoomed and lifted. She saw a body hang out of one of the ports, pointing something that looked Ifxe a rifle downward, yet was bulkier than a rifle. I ANGTON cried out hoarsely, - “They have a machine gun! Why don’t they shoot? Don’t they realize—" Then in the next breath houted with despairing anxie! ‘They car.’ They don’t dare. The abkin kne A fallen body in their way would wreck a landing!” The plane made a steep bank over the western buildings. Back it roared, the wheels of the landing gear scant inches above the heads of the soldiers staggered over the square. Langton madc an inarticulate sound. “God, what flying! See, they scatter, but they) close up again. They'll never give way long enough to let the plane down. “Janice! We :nust do something! Make = break. See, there’s an open space-on the could ran for it... ship can land—” pivoted on his sound leg. There was a dull smack as the near- er guard of the six went down. Janice heard : scream from the ahkin drowned by a riot of snaris of the jaguars as the bearers of the caged drupped it. She felt the hand of a guard roughly grasp her arm. She twisted away and flung ber- self at a man wh upraived rifle was poised ovec the blond head of ber companion. Again the motors roared overhead. The sound of rifle fire grew. The man she clung to went limp under a slash from Langton’s fist. She saw a knife upraised in a brown fist. Langton’s sinewy hand darted out and twisted it away. A lunging na- tive knocked her down to the steps. Her wildly roving glance fell upon a discarded knife a foot from her band, She suatched {t up as Langton burst through the twisting bodies of the guards toward her. He gaspea, “We can't get away! Try to reach the abkin and—” His sentence ended in a moan as & clubbed rifle hit bim behind the bead. He -‘tched toward. Janice. The guard who bad struck him turned bis eyes, crazed with excite ment, toward Janice, Stowly—it seemed almost slow- motion—he reversed his rifle. The girl gnew in that instant he intend- ed to shoot her! She struggled backward up the steps. She was barely conscious that she had backed against the Jaguar cage Her ears were deaf to the savage growls behind her. The rifle was raised—still with that illusion of retarded action. The | Bative’s teeth bared, the muscles of his hand tightened over the trigger guard, A sport of flame darted from the muzzle.

A wild throw to first base by, Dick Navarro and a muffed pop fly by Machin brought defeat to the Sluggers and victory to the, Pirates in the second game of yesterday’s twin bill of the city league schedule. The first geome} was taken by the Stars from the} Sluggers by an 8 to 3 score. The nightcap score read: Pirates, 63} Sluggers, 5. The first game, which was fea- tured by the marvelous hitting and fielding of Cheta Baker, Stars, was a cinch for the young- sters. Together with nine Slug- ger errors and eight safe swats| from Griffin’s delivery, left no doubt as to the outcome of the contest. The school lads took the lead and kept it from the first gong till the end. Simougng te | score was tied at one time the} Stars were never headed. As usual, Gates had his underhand flingers working great and the op- position was biting at them like starved fish after bait. William Cates, Sluggers, who had a bad day in fielding and hit- ting in the first game, came back to life in the nightcap to clout the ball for four safe hits out-of five trips to the pan. The opposing pitchers were both hit hard, Casa allowing ex- actly a dozen hits, while Gonzalez checked out with just one less. Roberts’ sensational catch of Armando Acevedo’s drive to deep right and Armando Perez’ homer to left were the feature of the second game which might have still been going on had it not been for the unpardonable er- rors by Navarro and Machin in the ninth round when the score read five-all.
