TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 1934. BLOND B Now Serial Chapter 49 DELIVERY | JANICE heard a scream and a _@ ctash behind her. In an instant ‘of duft bewilderment she realized’ she was not hit. She saw an expression of stupid dismay in the face of the rifieman. His gun-barrel dropped. Bhe shfank against the cage in té avofd the falling figure of the little bearer who had stopped @ bullet. She saw brown arms) jstrivibge to reach the flopping limp- ‘Ress that vas the body of the para- lyzed high-priest. To steady herself she put up the mand that held the knife. It came in contact with the thongs tying the ‘cage gate. A sudden desperate thought swept her mind. At any 0st the area of the great square fmust be cleared for the landing of the plane! Her knife slashed at the thongs, the keen steel sliced through thi leather as through grease. She was aware of snarling jaws, of yellow eyes wild with hate and frenzy. The gate slammed back upon her. Tawny black-spotted bodies soared above as she stumbled down the steps. | She heard a deep-voiced scream. ‘The multitude knew the cats were loose! She was sobbing.’ Scarcely con- scious now, she tugged at the limp body of Langton, hoping to drag Bhim to the cage that now offered Protection from the jeguars only from within. The figures were run- ning everywhere. Suddenly the mo- tors ceased their roaring, She heard vicious, ito bursts, like short volleys grouped rifies. JERE was a crescendo of shout- ? riffle fire, then more bursts from the machine gun.... Strong arms gripped her about the waist; she struggled futilely, from her and left her sobbing weak- yy. “Janice ... dearest, ... It’s I: Frank. Dear—” The arms lifted her to her feet. ‘Frank... dear. Look to Billy. He was hurt—” “I'm all right,” came Langton’s voice at their feet—weak but un- doubtedly Langton's. “I... ..1 was Wn,” muttered voice. “You're as bad as Greene. «+.

He carried ® monstrous pistol in one hand— monstrous in réfation to the size of ““Jagtars or leopards they won't need these any more.” He lifted the collar. “It's the one souvenir I'm going to take home from this—" Suddenly he broke off. His eyes slowly the color drained from his face. He moistened his Nps and gently expelled bis breath. Frank put his arm about Janice’s waist and firmly drew her against “Don’t look, dear.

Come along folks, Spin’s wav- tng to us from the ship. You, Lang- tom—I guess you're Langton—can you make it? “Fine. lilgive youa hand. We've gene to a lot of trouble about you, and we can’t slow down now. You're probably the best copy of the lot of you're good copy. ...” Tse slanting rays of the afternoon | sun flashed through the open | ports. Despite the altitude it was warm within the plane once they | had lifted above the zone of rain | clouds. The eabin echoed with the ( drone_cf.the motors and lurched in | the bumpy air. Langton was in the master-pilot’s seat, delighted as a child with an old, familiar toy. Spin Winslow loafed next to him, behind the dual controls, yawning between spells of | @ozing. Three young men squatted in the rear of the cabin muttering a strange jargon. One wore an over- | seas cap with a tarnished insignia. The cap looked somewhat moth- eaten. They seemed very, very absorbed with the antics of two small red | cubes with white dots on the sides. m was with them, and Greene | was nearby indulging in his favor- ite occupation: talking. In a pair of seats halfway between the crap shooters and the pilots were Janice acd Frank. They did very little else than to look at each other, smiling oceasionally. “... then, when Spin got our mes- | sage—” Greene apparently did not | think it worthwhile to address any- one in particular—“he picked up three young hoodlums he knew, ar- tanged for this bus, got a machine gun, swallowed his lousy disposi- tion—a record of some kind, a veri- table Ripley, in tact—and in three hops, total elapsed time fess than twenty-four hours, landed on the beach back there on the coast. We met him there. We took off just | before dawn. Not seeing Janice and Billy at the valley, we kept on to the city of the pyramid. We ar- rived just in time. We couldn't land until Janice let the leopards, 1 mean tigers, loose. - She did a | good job there we—” Spin Winslow, strolling back, asked in a loud voice if Greene had ever beard the story of the halt- smoked stump of the Corona-Corona Perfect cigar and the wad of chew- ing tobaceo that were floating side by side down the Mississippi. “No,” replied Greene testily. “What's that got to do—” The three young men at the crap game looked up grinning. “Well,” answered Spin gravely, “the wad of chewing tobacco asked the perfecto, ‘How far are we from New Orleans? The perfecto replied, with an expression of distaste on its + ++ um, gold band, ‘Listen, punk: I'm too hundred miles from New Where do you get that we stuff!’” Frank chuckled at the discom- fited look on Greene’s face. The crap game continued. Finally Ja- nice leaned toward Frank. “You won't... you won't go away again, ever?” she whispered. “The burnt chtld fears—" he be- gan, but the tenderness in his eyes belied the implication of his word. Janice wrinkled her nose. “You can take it,” she quoted colloquta)- ly. “It was those darn dishes.” “Dishes?” “You mentioned our doing the dishes,” she stated firmly. “I hate ‘em.” “Not even if I help?” “Well,” she replied consideringly. “Probably there’s some dishwash- ing that has compensation.” She looked up at him winningly. Her voice was honey-sweet with propi- tlation. “But if we do camp out from time to time in one of your jungles, t have Juan along, won't we?" Her eyes coaxed. “And,” she concluded brightly, “he can help too.” Frank laughed and nodded. j Greene, sotto voce to Winslow, | said, “And that means; Spin, that the big palooka and Juan will wash and wipe the dishes between them.” “And that means that when we get back to Hollywood tomorrow | hunt me an- other job.” “Another job?” queried Spin skep- tically. “Why don’t you go to work for @ change, you bum!” | (Copyright, 1934, by Herbert Jenser) | THE END _ Today’s Anniversaries 1475 — Michelangelo, painter, sculptor, all time, born. 1564.
