Neat waa led for mlir over aa almost untrod path. A he went he listened, and twlc h could hav iworn he heard a wom an' voice, a vole that h knew well Ih voice of Annett fllnrton. One he heard her scream. Suddenly there waa a halt. There was much whispering and tha low toned chattering of many people. And then Neal heard another scream "Neal! Neal!" There was tha trampling of a heaty body through tha underbrush and then the rattling of a heavy chain and what seemed to b th unlocking or a door. There was another shriek, then si- Iwic. Finally without warning Neal wis sr-lted In a gigantic pair of anna, tossed lightly over a huge ahoulder and was carried rapidly along. An other door waa opened and Neal felt himself flung a bit too violently ,nto the comer of a stonewalled apart ment. A door clanged to behind him end a ltd and bolted. A voice j !! d his eara "Seuor." said this Voice, "If you TtM'd be relieved of bond and blinds, approach me." Neal not without apprehension started up and staggered In tha dl rectlnn of the voice. A hand twung him about. Cpon hla head and wrlms be felt the pressure of cold ateel the back of a sheath knife. Hia bonds fell at his feet. He swung about, stretched hla arms and looked. Grin nlng sardonically at him through the bars waa the face of liernandei and behind Hernandei with blinking eyes stood the ever-present brut. "We keep you merely for safety, enor," said Hernandei. He swung on hla heel, thrust the brut out of sight and disappeared. Neal noted now that be was con fined In a atone cell dingy, dirty, mis erable. He Jumped at once tor tha correct conclusion. This was a fort He examined hla cell critically. The mortar wa disintegrating. The fort was very old. He took out hla knife they had still left him that and tabbed viciously at the space In be tween the stones. There was a rattle at the door of Neal'i cell. A native inaurrecto opened the door and set upon the floor a Jug of water and a loaf of disreput able looking bread. Almost at the same time there was a rattle at the door of Annette's dungeon cell. She ceased her tapping suddenly and turned. The brute was entering also with refreshments, such as they were. Instead of disposing of these at once, he strode forward, his huge body towering above her, and held them out to her with a strange gleam in his eyes. She took the food and drink and laid them down upon the bench, star ing at the brute the while. The huge anomaly took this as an Invitation. He shambled closer toward her, never once removing his glance from her up turned wondering face. Then with out warning he thrust forth a hand and stroked her hair. Annette was startled. Yet there was so much docility In the expression of this half man, half animal, that she instinctively submitted to his touch. And there was something else some thing struggling for expression in those strange, wide open eyes. There was a quick step behind ths brute and Hernandez entered. An nette shrank back into a corner of the cell. The brute gazed at bim, but still stood his ground. Hernandez In a cage struck him sharply on the shoul i.ir and thrust him toward the door. gang of about fifty Inaurrecto. Many mrr wounded; all seemed lo b In tatters.

"We go west at once and with our prisoners." It takes the trained eye of a native to know a trail when he meets one in the well-nigh impossible Jungles of Dolores. The United States marines, a little squad of 25 men, were begin ning to realize this fact For an hour they followed blind trail after blind trail, only to retrace their steps to a given starting point "Never mind," said tbelr officer. "They're up there and we'll get them, and then " He stopped. A shower of dirt and email stones spattered on bis head. The offlcer looked up. Above bim towered a cliff, and half way to the top of this cliff there ran a narrow ledge a mountain pass. The officer ducked, for there was another shower of dirt and gravel. Then he caught sight of a donkey' tail swishing out over the precipice. "I've got the trail," he said, "and a good trail it is, for It leads here here to our very feet." He was quite right. Some three quarters of an hour later Inez and ber small party passed that very spot a spot now deserted. Suddenly twenty-five American ma rines with drawn bayonets sprang from the Jungle as by magic and sur rounded them. Inez, excellent actress, breathed an audible sigh of relief. "At last," she 'aid, "we have found you." The ensign advanced toward ber Coraion del Sol. After a march of boura In Ih very thickest of lb Jungl.

"Mln hostages." he aald .lightly, eat, drink and be merry." Three mile further on thrr waa a clearing In th Jungl. Arroaa this clearing waa an ancient gateway and a crumbling aton wall older than his toric man hlmaelf. Two unprepossess ing atolld aton figure guarded thla getaway. A third guard now entered tb foreground and passed through tb ancient ruined gateway. H waa a living guard, but of a dead race. II waa an Altec H bad beard nolaea and be bad come out to aee aa welt as to bear. And suddenly ha aaw and waa aeen In turn. Wriggling through the por lloha of the edg of Ih clearing sud denly appeared th two scout sent forward by Hernandei. Tbey crouched tber. staring epeechleaaly at th Axtec warrior. It In hla turn stared speechlessly at them. But they bad aean more than ha bad. They had caught a glimpse through that gateway of- a mass of leaping. latlng flame, and they knew It tor the thing It waa. An hour later, panting, breathless, with their tongues banging out and their eyea still wide with terror, they crept up to Hernandei and clutched bim by the arms. "Coraion del Sol," they cried, their facee twisted with terror. Ponto heard them. Hie eyea gleamed With fuddeo Interest. He waddled to the aide of Hernandei and nodded understanding. "Coraion del Sol," repeated Hernan dei. "The Heart of the Sun," Ponto nodded again. "The Heart of the Sun," be repeated. "Well, what of ltr aaked Hernan dei. "The lost tribe," whispered the scouts. "The Altec. Come," they cried, "we have no time to loae. They will be upon ua. Fly." Hernandei gripped each man by the wrist. "Speak, Ponto," he demanded. Ponto tapped himself upon his chest "I am of Axtec blood myself," ba said. "I have heard of this lost tribe. I have heard of thla city of Coraion del Sol. Many assume It to be a myth, aenor, but It la no myth." Hernandei nodded. "How many In habitants of Coraion del Sol?" be queried. "Tradition has it." said Ponto, "that It la a town surrounded by a wall and that Its population never Increase." He emited grimly. "What human be ings it does not need, it feeds to the Heart of the Sun the flame." "It will feed all of us to the flame," cried the scouts. "We must go back back." Hernandez leered. "Ponto," he said, "in front of us. according to those In surrectos, is a fiery furnace with a mil lion foes. Behind us, camping on our trail somewhere, is a handful of Ameri can marines. Which do you choose?' "Forward," said Ponto. "to the fiery furnace. Deliver me from a handful of marines." if i if Mi i f if !J f i t . r -A av i . . Anntt Waa Watching With Era Wld With Trrr. CHAPTER XXXVII. The Anger of a God. Within the waits of Corazon del Sol there lived a god. He didn't know he lived he was quite Ignorant of his own existence. If he bad ever lived he would have died ' from ugliness. But there were those who knew he lived. They were the inhabitants of this ancient Aztec village Corazon del Sol, the Heart of the Sun. Tbey knew he lived, because periodically and quite persistently he demanded flesh. Just now he stared straight before him through the gates of the crum bling walls. The high priest followed his glance. Suddenly the high priest started and held high his hand. A group of Aztec warriors answered the summons. In crude uneven ord this crowd rushed through the gates and stood at bay. Across the clearing was another group Hernandez and hi crowd. The two the terror he Inspired, "and yoa shall be destroyed. Behind ma la Or, sud den death. We have many thousand warrior. Wa have an Inaatlable god. Wo brook no strangers w tolerate no enemies. Tou are an enemy, you I and your. Go, and go at one." ' "W ar not enemies." returned Hr I nandei. "W ar travelers weary trawler. We hav lost our way. We need real and food. To turn bark now meana death." The high prieat ahrugged hia ahoul der, "Follow ma," be aald. He turned and paaaed between th divided group of warrior and enured Ih gat. Hernandei followed, entering th wall three par behind th priest. H led Hernandei to the center of the village. With a long. lean, aklnny linger, th high priest pointed to the aun god He prostrated hlmaelf, then roae and gave a sharp' command. Two Alters. clad In scarlet robea. darted forward, each with a burning brand raised blgb above hi head. Before Hernandei wai a pit aunk Into th ground. It waa piled high with fuel and from this pit there rose quite a familiar odor, the odor of petroleum. Io went th burning brands and In the twinkling' of an eye the fuel caught Br and a leaping, twisting name sprang into th air. Hernandei drew back. The flam wa: hot It grew hotter aa he watched. In a few momenta It waa a seething, roaring furnace. Hernandei stood with folded arm The high prieat swooped down upon him and denounced him In withering Jargon. Hernandei knew what It meant. It meant that tbey were to go. "Ponto," he cried, "come here." Ponto, quivering, crept through the double line of Altec warrlora and through Uie gate. Hernandei Jerked hi head toward the priest. "Tell him," ssld Herandet, "that he muat take us In." Ponto obeyed. He began to plead In bis oiliest accents. The high priest was Arm. Once again he held up his hand and fron- every hut In the In cisure there sprang forth another group of warrior. "Run, partner," cried Ponto, "run for your life." But Hernandei did not run, for aud drnly the countenance of the high priest had changed. A crarty amiie anread over hla leathery old face. Pon to followed his glance. At the other end of the clearing with a ray of aun ahlne full upon her crouched Annette Illngton. Without removing hi glance from the girl the high priest touched Her nandex on the arm and spoke In high shrill accents. "What does he say!" demanded Her nandex of Ponto. Ponto shivered. "He sayo," re turned Ponto, "the sun god la angry-. That he baa commanded hi people to destroy you all. That he will smite you hip and thigh unless" "Unless what?" queried Hernandei. "You give the white girl to the god and the rest of you can get food and succor within the walla the whit girl for the god." CHAPTER XXXVIII. A Brlda's Revolt Hernandez pondered once Than he nodded. "Weil do It," he returned. again. "Tell that beast out there to bring the white girl in.-" Ponto turned and ran waddling out side the gates. He gave a brief com mand to the brute and at the word the brute seized Annette and held her high upon his shoulder. At another work of command the brute marched toward the gate and entered It. The high priest stood quivering, watching the approach of Annette and the brute. The four Aztecs in flam- lag red robe 4rl4 IWward aa ball out quivering kaa4a low aid Aaaett.
