From Frogreso It Is taken to the United States." ' They were seated at the table smoking over the remnants of their meal. Grahame threw his clgaret stub away. . "I am not Interested In dope run ning," he said. "But 1 would like, to Investigate the country back of here. You need not be concerned," be con. tinned, Glt contemptuously as he saw Ortega's faco darken. "You'll tangle yourself up sooner or later. No need for me to Interfere." Ortega rose and stood facing Gra hame. Through tho opon door came the sounds of hlB two companions as they 'Misled themselves stacking the cases In an adjoining shack. "You will loave with me In the morning," said Ortega distinctly. His hands bung loosely at his sides. Qrahame remained seated, but hitched his chair around so that his feet were clear of the table. "I stay here." , "As you will." The Mexican's hand flashed to his holster. Gra hame lashed forward with his leg. Ortega cried out in pain as the toe of the heavy boot snapped against his wrist. His gun dropped to the floor and Grabame covered It with his foot Q "Next time," said Grahame, "you'll be really sorry." q He picked up the heavy revolver and tossed It on the table. Ortega glowered at him, his teeth bared In n half snarl. He held bis wrist tight ly with his other hand. Grahame took up the revolver from the table and slipped It Into his pockot. Ho strode to the door and turned. "I'm sleeping with your car go tonight." He smiled a little grim ly. "In the ovent I don't see you In the morning, adlos."

He lay down fully dressed with his nutomatlc ready beneath his hand and bis flashlight In the other. He could see a light glowing through tho thatch from the other building, and beard the voices of the three as a low mumble. Later he heard them moving about outside. The engine of the launch coughed and settled to a steady throbbing. Evidently they were no' waiting for tho morning's light to leave by. His thought was confirmed when he hoard the slow grind of the reverse gear, and the quick chug of the launch under way. The beat of the engine lessened, then grew fainter as distance swal lowed Its sound. Grahame relaxed and closed his eyes. He doled fitfully, however, his mind restless and wary.

Lightweight, good, GODDESS by Herbert Jensen Dawn was faintly tinging the ragged tops of the palmettos back of the clearing when a dark 4gure drifted across the open space and disappeared Into the shack that housed the American. Grahame lay la his hammock breathing evenly. The figure approached the ham mock and leaned over the recum bent man. There was a cry and a scuffle and Grabame's long arms shot out and gripped the stranger by the throat and wrist Still holding to the wrist, he snapped on his flashlight. "It la I Juan!" The whisper was hoarse and agitated. "Turn out your light, for the love of God!" Grabame snapped the switch and dropped the light to the hammock. His tree hand travelled over Juan. The boy's sheath knife was In Its case. "What Is It?" he asked. He re leased the wrist he held. "Ortega and Pedro. They stopped the launch at the mouth of the la goon and are coming hack over the trail to kill you. Don Raoul says you are an American spy. Tbey left me at the launch, but I know a shorter wny, and ran here to warn you." "Why didn't you enter boldly?" "They may have gotten here be fore me, and would have killed me, too," replied the boy simply Frank suppressed a chuckle. T'WO figures loomed In tho square made by the doorway, but about flvo yards distant from It. Grahame threw himself from the hammock as two guns spat flame. Ho heard the thud of the bullets hit ting the cases, then his own gun be gan to Jump in his band. Above the crashes he heard one of the men cry out. then both melted from his gun sights. He jumped to the doorway. The two wore fleeing toward the clearing's edge. He sight ed on the back of tbe larger of the fleeing men, then lowered bis gun. He shrugged his shoulders and turned to the lQ' standing beside him. "How are you, Juan?" he asked, throwing an arm over the lad's shoulders. Q "I am all right." He drew a deep breath. "But very frightened, senor." Frank grinned. "Well, so was 1. But 1 suspect not half so much aa our two friends." Ho looked at the boy appraising ly, who gazed back at him with can did eyes. Despite the young fellow's assurance that he had been afraid, there was no trace of timidity in that straightforward look. Frank said, "How old are you, Juan?" "Sixteen, senor." "Do you know the Jungle back there?" He waved his arm In a di rection away from the coast. "Have you ever been In there?" "A little, senor. To shoot deer, or to trap tho wild turkey." "Would you go In there with me even If it will take weeks to go only a few miles?" Juan said thoughtfully: "It Is very dangerous, senor. I would advise you not to go." Vaguely Frank was disappointed Ho said heartily: "Then you would rather not go with me. But that la all right. Here ... I will give you some money, murhacho, for what you did for me this night, and you can head back toward the coast when you wish." Again Juan gave him that level look.
