But one| thing—having been passionately ha rangued by their priest—they re solved, namely, to kill at first sight and without parley whatever new comers did descend upon them. “Even Da Vasco himself™ the priest had cried “Even Da Vasco™ the Lost Souls had responded. All were armed with pears, war clubs and bows and arrows, and while they waited they continu®d to pray before the altar, Every few minutes runners arrived from the lake, making the same reports that while the mountain still labored thun derously nothing had emerged from it. A little girl of 10, the maid of the Long House who had entertained Le onica, waa the first to spy out new arrivals, This was made ponsible be cause of the tribe's attention being fixed on the rumbling beside the lake. No one expected visitors out of the mountain on the opposite side of the valley. TORRES ON THE SCENE “Da she cried. “Da Vasco!

The survivors fied, but of the invaders half were down forever, the women having, tn drastic fashion, attended to every | man who fell wounded. The Jefe was | spluttering with rage and pain at an arrow which had perforated his arm, nor could he be appeased until Vin- cente cut off the barbed head and pulled out the shaft. ‘Torres, beyond an aching shoulder where a club had hit him, was unin jured, and he became jubilant when he saw the old priest lying on the Vasco” Lovely Blouses | for the Autumn Suit | at $7.50 and $8.50 | HESE new conceptions of the Georgette and Crepe-de-Chine Blouse express every mood of the Autumn Tailleur: The daintiest of White and Flesh-colored models to brighten the dark days of winter; waists of neutral Gray and Bisque to set off the modish shade of the skirt, and Copen- hagen, Navy and Black developed into the convenient tailored blouse Sizes 86 to 46.
