has escaped harm Uue to tho
shrewdness of her cousin and pro
tucor, Vilak, who with his trlend,
Lincoln Nunyally,- an elderly
American chemist, is trying to
loam the reason lor the strauge en
mity for Kline.
Living uear Porto Verde is one
Qayloril Prentiss, a atrange and
forbidding character, who has
evinced a hatred for Elisu.
Tlnky, KUses two-year-old or
phaned neiihew, is kidnaped. A iu
tlvo reports Prentiss has been
seen with the baby, Tho (mil
leads Into the Jungle. . ,
Calamity overtakes the expedi
tion Vilak 01-gauizes in pursuit.
Native trackers are iujured or de
sert. Troachory breaks out. Their
white friends are fever victims
and are left with a friendly tribe.
Kllse, Vilak and Nuunally final
ly emerge tram the jungle. Pres
ently they come to the outskirts of
a strange city, resembling old Inca
civilization. Here they are made
prisoners. T'hey disco vol they are
in the power of Carlos D'Alutm
ttira, whom they had known as tin
engineer back in Porto Verde.
The black rulor of the city de
cides to marry KMyo and to put
Vilak and Nuunally to death. They
are to be tortured at the feast of
Raymi. From liis prison window
Vltak can observe the beginning
of the ceremonies incidental to the
feast and sacrifice. He and Nun
Uttlly'aro brought to the temple.
NOW BEGIN THE 8TORY
' CHAPTER XLI1I
"Got that ceremony from the In
cas, too, probably," Vilak mutter
ed as he turned his head to look
at the old maq lying on the stone
two feet away. "Often a custom
of fire-worshipers. Chief, hend
man. or king, whatever he happens
Lto be, goes off to receive the first
rays of the sun alone. You d bet
ter try to sleep a liule. Good as
a drug in times like this." ,
' These wore tho last wordo he
spoke for hoiu-B. ' AH day he lav
rigid, ' motionless, as though he
were another of the gloomy stone
figures carved in the mined temple
walls.
As when he had lain in his room
In Porto Verde, th,e pupils of his
Mongolian-like' eyes dulled until
they appeared -the eyes of a mum-,
my rather than a' man, while the
thin film, like a bird's inner eye
lid,, crept out from the corners. 'His
swarthy skin became bloodless; his
breath came stertoi-ously through
his open mouth. '
In the afternoon. hiB broathlng
and his face became normal again;
ho spoke cheerfully to the old man,
sweating profusely In the hot' sun,
and begau watching a group of In
dians ereat a rude pavilion facing
the idol and perhaps a hundred feet
away. ' j

1 was lifted onto the litter again and
I carried away. ;
For half an hour the court was
once more deserted. The prison
ers had been given no food during
the day; now one of thu hideously
painted priests brought them wine
In two clay ceremonial1 vessels,
held the bowls to their Hps so they
could drink, then put the vessels
ut their sides in depressions cut
especially for the purpose In the
stone. Throughout the ceremonies,
which began soon after, they re
turned at intervals of approxi
mately an hour to touch the bowls
to the captives' lips, as though an
act of purification which made
them lit to be a gift to the gods,
Tho court now filled anew with
a swarming, buzzing multitude.
Ellse was brought out again and.
placed in the pavilion. Rutalngos
took a seat beside her. D'Alhen
lara stood at the altar. A dance
was begun.
Thirty or forty black, brown and
reddish-skinned vomen, tlmlr feath
ers bright with paint and with
metal ' ornnmeiits, leaped, bowed,
quivered, gyrated, while rows of
men; with faces painted like death
masks, stamped their feet anJ.bea
time with thudding tom-toms. .
At a command from Uatalagon
the dance ceased. A fowl, a wild
pig aud two oxen were laid upon
the altar-like atone, killed with a
knife, and their hearts thrown Into
the crackling fire. Wore dancing.
A fil of native soldiers came
forward, each holding aloft a
spear. On each spenivtip was' a
dried, shriveled human head. The
soldiers fixed their burdens like
standards in two rows on ouch side
of the open-mouthed idol. Nuu
nally noticed that each trophy
bore the same tattooed triangles
which had marred Prentiss fore
head, while a tattooed line circled
each shrunken neck just above
the point where it had been severed.-
,
New a native with a particularly
ferocious lace was flung down near
Vilak and made fast to another one
of the seven stones, where he lay
alternately screaming with terror
and pleading ' piteously - with his
captors. A socond young -deer was
slain to- coiibuU the omons; they
decreed hnni"diate sacrifice. Three
of the soldiers danced a short pan
tonine in which there was much
clashing of spears: and stalking
through imaginary bushes, 1 .
' "This poor devil near '.us Is, a

old man. "I got that from what he
said when he was begging for

The pantomlmo continued for a
few, moments Jongt-r.. Then u bowl
of wine waa put to the criminal's
lips, iteughly he was if I to J from
the stone to which ho had beeu
tied and dragged to the larger one
serving as the altar.
Oik of the pilouts swiftly tat
tooed throe teeth-like triangles up
on his i ore head, then a thin, black
lino around his neck. The Indian
with the enormous nose came for
ward carrying a great knife, looked
at the lattoolug on the forehead,
pah'scd the back cf his knife experi
mentally about the peck-line, then
nodded approvingly. 'The tattooer
put away his iustrumoutH,
The struggling victim, whose
mouth had been stuffed with wool
to slop his cries, and who was re
garding his captors with bulging,
agonized even, was now strapped
down so that his forehead was di
rectly beneath the three great
thorns which formed tho fingers of
the idol's arm.
D'Albeutara gave a command.
The savages swarming on all sidos
.dropped to the ground and began a
dismal chant. Their eyes were
fixed as though hypnotized upon
tho grotesque idol.
Suddenly a puff of smuko, fol
lowed by a tonguo of flame, issued
from its mouth, its unraised arm
began to descend. Nearer and
nearer camo its thorny har.d to the
captive's forhead. At Inst thorn
met tattooed triangle. The crim
inal's convulsive struggles ceased;
he lay rigid. Yet he wus not dead;
his drawn eyes gleamed with the"
same bitter anKuish which had
marked the eyes of the prnsU-ate
Tony Riirbotta and Detto Cieorohe
and the creeping Limey Potts,
While in this helpless condition,
his bonds were untied. The priests
became -four fiends. For half an
4;our they tortured him. Then an
other heart, like those of the
beasts, went to the fire;' another
head and anothor spear joined the
rows at the foot of the idol.
Four natives carrying hollowed
reeds atd gourds of difforent sizes
begnn a shrill whistling and noisy
rattling Intended to bo music.
They ceased thoir discordant la
bors. D'Albentara approached Vi
lak. "All goes well, nmigos?" he
murmured.
Vilak did not answer.
The Portuguese shrugged his
shoulders. "Yon will not speak
with me, cavalhiero? Ah, if so it
niunt he, so then must it be. You
think that Carlos D'Albeutara Is
cruel, do .you not,' cavalhiero?
That. he loves blood like Ihe vam

does he hato blood,' hale' death.

. He smiled apologetically.
"You know, aminos. 1 have told
you often."
He strode off. A few piomenls
; later Uaialagos 1 rose pompomily
j from his stone seat, wuited until
the seething worshipers before him
hud become silent, then grunted a
short oration. Ho clapped his
hands. A litter waa brought In
; again and put down near the altar.
A iri-Oiti Rhmit . u-mit iin fi-mti Iho

the litter and put down on one ot'jH
the Almighty," grunted Vliak. A
mumeut la tor as tho priest took
another figure from thu litter, ho
added quietly; "And there's
Tlnky."
Uuddonly a flguro dashed from
tho pavilion. It was Kline. Hut
Bhe was permitted to run only n
few feet. Two guardB snatched
her. She was carried back to the
pavilion, then orf Into tho dark
ness. , i .
Again the omens were consulted.
They deoreed that Prcntlsa and tho
child should be BacrlflceU at noon
when the sun was at its highest.
Another dance was begun, another
'pantomime, in it D'Albeutara took
part. He shook hands In uu-lu-dtan-like
fashion with a gaunt na
tive who was wearing , Prentiss'
grimy linen coat. Much running
and stalking through Imaginary
bushes followed.
"1 think we've seen something of
Prentiss' recent history," Vitk
multercd to the old man.
Tho ceremonies censed for the
night. Pntalagos antl D'Albeutara
disappeared, Tho crowd began to
melt awuy. Soon the court was
deserted except for the mour cap
tives on the Btones and tho soli
tary soldier stundlng guard.
A figure came creeping .toward
Vilak, then scuttled back into the
shadows. Tho baby began -to cry;
ceased quickly. Vilak craned lib
head to see It. He could not. Ho
could, however, distinguish the
form of Prentiss on the other Bide
of the altar. Even by tho firelight
ho could see that tho feverish,
halfmad gleam which had hither
to nmrke'l the other's eyes had van
ished; his skin no longer had lis
pallid, death-like appearauoe; his
face, though still wasted ami gaunt
and Btlll bearing the strango tat
tooed triangles, was the face of a
normal man.
Tho shadowy flguro cropt for
ward ortco more, once more banish
ed. Vilak lay motionless, allent.
Again his oyes became tho slaute 1
eves of n Chinese philosopher.
Again the thlti film crept out from
the comers to half cover the dull
pupils. Suddonly the clay, wlne-
f bowl at his Hide cracked and fell
noisily to the ground. The sol
dier muttored a curse. " A priest
swiftly brought another bowl, and
returned to tho temple from which
he hft'l come. -
' Vilak drew a quick breath." AVith
a jagged fragment of tho vessel he
had just cracked he begau sawing
at the thongs which hound his
wrlsta. ; Tho edge was no keener
