He could not let himself believe that grayish dimness that suffused the blackness ahead of him was the end of the cavern. His disap pointment, he knew, would be too keen. The clumsy life belt Impeded his progress; yet he dared not dis pense with It lest some weakness overcome him, or some mishap occur. A vagrant eddy caught him and hurried him forward. He was whirl ed dizzy tngly for an instant. He bumiwd against a buttress of rock projecting Into the channel. The stream made a twist to the left; then to the right. Suddenly he floated into day light I Sudden pain stubbed his eyus. He shut them tightly for an instant; then slitted them against the unaccustomed light. He was In a cenote. It was not so large as the one below the pyramid, nor so high-walled as the extensive one where he had left Lang ion and Janice Kent. It seemed, however, deeper. The water flooded within It to a high level on the cliffs. At one edge the cliff had broken down: shrubbery a?.3 creepers grew upon it. With an ejaculation of hope he paddled to ward It. Perhaps from here he could gain the level above. Instantaneously the thou ght came to him that could he some how get word to Billy and Janice that they could drift down to here on the raft and once above ground, could chop through the Jungle to the coast. He spin i Into the shallows. As he did so it ere was a sluggish movement in the tangle of water plants between him and the slope ahead. Golden, black-slltted eyes observed him; a wide tooth-fringed maw gaped. Alligator! He stood still. The rep tile did not attack. Instead it slid to one side and away from htm. A boiling of muddy water marked its disappearance into the cenote. Grahame repressed a slight shud der. He knew alligators; sometimes they attacked a man, but usually not. Although his knowledge was practical and Jungle-bred and did not conform to popular belief, nev ertheless the sight of the reptiles always save him that atavistic sen sation of skin crawling upon his bark. With the footing firm beneath him he left the water and climbed upward to the edge of the cenote. It was then that he realized that it was raining. Raining with the insistent steady downpour thnt told him that the rainy season was in dced'upon them. It would be only a matter of days now perhaps hours before the caverns and cenotes would be flooded. He looked about him. The dim jungle pressed upon him from all sides. Only vaguely could he esti mate the points of the compass. Swiftly he analyzed the alternatives confronting him. He could attempt a return to Jan ice and Billy. Hut even with com pass, supplies, machete, and fire arms It would take him days to reach them even supposing he might find their cenote valley rend ily a chance as remote as finding the proverbial needle. To attempt the coast on foot would doubtless end with more suc cess for himself. It miiiht lake him days to accomplish that; it would be too late, then, to rescue his companions supposing the rain con tinued and they were unable to get out of the valley. A sudden thought struck him at this point: Iington hinted that the hu:h-prie.st knew a way to get out. Perhaps the ahkin h;id been but biding his time until he had but a crippled man and a helpless girl to put some sinister plan of his own into operation. Frank wiped the dripping ruin from his face.
