His first shot had been lucky. His succeeding shots merely struck in the immediate neighborhood of the jefe and Torres fas they turned and fled madly for the i brush. Ten minutes later, the wounded fete in the lead, Torres saw a woman of the Lost Souls spring out from be- hind @ tree and brain his comrade with a huge stone wielded in both her himself with horror, and umbied on. And from behind arose a distant call and he remembered the vision end he had glimpsed .but refused to see in the Mirror of the World and wondered if this end was near upon him. Yet it had not resembled this place of trees and forms and jungle. From the glimpse he remembered nothing of vegetation—only solid rock and blazing sun and bones of animals. Hope sprang up afresh at the thought. Perhaps that end was not for this day, maybe not for this year. ‘Who knew? Twenty years might yet pase ere that end came. “Emerging from the jungle, he came upon a queer ridge of what looked like a disintegrated lava rock. Here he left no trail, and he proceeded carefully on beyond it thru further star that would enable him to elude pursuit. His plan of escape took shape. He could find a safe hiding place until after dark. Then he would circle back to the lake and the whirl of waters. That gained, nothing and to leap in. »i knew it ; steeply in and hands.

The fancy that came to his mind) caused him to spring to his feet in sudden panic and look hastily around about him. Only on a more colossal seale, the funnel in which he was trapped had reminded him of the funnel pits db in the sand by hunt: | ing spiders that lurked at the bottom |for such prey that tumbled in upon them. | And, his vivid fancy leaping, he had been frightened by the thought | that some spider monster as colossal | jas the funnel pit might possibly be lurking there to devour him. But no| |such denizen appeared. The bottom | Jof the pit, circular in form, was a/ good 10 feet across and carpeted, he} knew not how deep, by a debrid of small animals’ bones. Now for what had the Mayas of old time made so stupendous an excavation, he ques | tioned, for he was more than half convinced that the funnel was no natural phenomenon. Before nightfall he made sure, by a dozen attempts, that the funnel was unscalable. Between attempts he crouched in the growing shadow of the descending sun and panted dry lipped with heat and thirst. The place was a very furnace, and the juices of his bedy were wrung from him in perspiration. Thruout the night, between dozes, he vainly pondered the problem of escape. The only way out was up nor could his mind devise any method of getting up. Also, he looked forward with terror to the coming of the day, for he knew that no man coull survive a full 10 hours of the baking heat that would be his. Ere the next nightfall the last drop of moisture would have evaporated from his body, leaving him a with ered and already half sun-dried mum my. With the coming of daylight his growing terror added wings to his |thought, and he achieved a new and |profoundly simple theory of escape. | Since he could not climb up, and |aince he could not get out thru the aides themselves, then the only pos |sible remaining way was down. Fool that he was! He might have been |working thru the cool night hours. |and now he must labor in the quickly |increasing heat. He applied himself in an ecstacy of energy to digging down thru the mass of crumbling bones. Of course, there was a way out! Else how did the funnel drain? Otherwise it would have been full or part full of water from the rains Fool! And thrice times thrice a fool! He dug down one side of the wall, flinging the rubbish into a mound against the opposite side. So desper ately did he apply himself that he broke his finger nails to the quick and deeper, while every finger tip was lacerated to bleeding. But love of life was strong in him, and he knew it was a life and death race to him with the sun. As he went |deeper, the rubbish became more compact, #0 that he used the muzzle of his rifle like a crowbar to loosen }it ere tossing it up in single and double handfuls. By mid-forenoon, his senses begin ning to reel in the heat, he made a discovery. Upon the wall which he had uncovered, he came upon the be ginning of an inscription, evidently |rudely scratched in the rock by the point of a knife.
