There is abso- lutely no reason why a person's mouth should be left in an un- clean condition—it can't be because it will cost too much, for @ few dollars will gecure this service for you.

Torres looked appeal to Francis, who replied: “The old brute certainly pinched on the length of the candle, It won't last five minutes at best, and, maybe, inside three minutes we'll be going up in smoke.” “What can we do?” Torres de- manded, frantically, while Leonica looked bravély, with a sad, brave smile of love, into Francts’ eyes “Pray for rain!’ Francis answered. “And the sky is as clear as a bell! After that, die game! Don't squeal too loud!"

Torres, who had eyes only for the candle stub, nearly burned to its base, heard the maid's cry and looked up. And at the same time he heard, an all of them heard, the droning flight as of some monstrous insect In the sky. “An aeroplane!” Francis muttered. “Torres, claim it for t sign!” But no need to claim was neces- sary. Above them, not more than a hundred feet, it swooped down and circled, the first aeroplane the Lost Souls had ever seen, while from it, wecended the familiar: Mack to back against the malomast, Mold at bay the entire erew!

A right hook to the jaw put that aged con. he slowly recuperated and crawled to his feet, Henry slashed clear the lashings that bound Leonica, Frances and Torres, His arms were out to embrace Leonica, when she thrust him away with: "Quick! planation, Down on your knees to Torres and pretend you are his —and don’t talk Spanish—talk Nish!" . Henry could not comprehend, and, while Leoniea reassured him with her eyes, he saw Francis prostrate himself at the feet of their common enemy, “we Henry muttered, as he joined Francis, “Here goes! But it's worse than rat poison.” Leonica followed him, and all the Lost Souls went down prone before the Capitan Da Vasco, who received in their midst celestial! messengers direct from the sun, All went down “These are things of which you know nothing.

But Henry dropped the muzzle of his automatic pistol to the old priest's midriff, and the priest, re membering the legends of deadly missiles propelled by the mysterious substance called “gun powder," amiled appeasingly and waved back his spearmen “This is beyond my powers of wis: dom and judgment,” he addressed his tribe's people, while ever his waver- ifig glance returned to the muzzle of Henry's pistol. “T shall appeal to the last resort Let the messenger be |nent to wake the Lady Who Dreams. ‘Tell her that strangers from the sky, and mayhap the un, are here in our valley, and that only the wisdom of her far dreams will make clear to us what we do not unde and could gaze inside. i “Behold what is graven therein!" ‘Torres commanded.
