Grahame lay In 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 Grahame'a long arms shot out and gripped the stranger by the throat and wrist Still holding to the wrist, be snapped on his flashlight. "It Is I Juan!" The whisper was hoarse and agitated. "Turn out your light, tor tbe love of God!" Grahame snapped the switch and dropped the light to the hammock. His free hand travelled over Juan.

They stopped the launch at the mouth of the la goon and are coming back over the trail to kill you. Don Raoul says you are an American spy. They left me at tbe launch, but I know a shorter way, 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. Living Costs To.

NO TIME By GLUYAS WILLIAMS Ortega's hand flashed to hla holster. lame. Through the open door came the sounds of his two companions as tbey busied themselves stacking tbe cases In an adjoining shack. "You will leave with me in tbe morning," said Ortega distinctly. His bands hung loosely at his sides. Orahame remained seated, but bitched hla chair around so that his feet were clear of tbe table. "I stay here." "As you will." The - Mexican's land flashed to bis holster. Gra hame lashed forward with his leg. Ortega cried out In pain aa the toe of the heavy boot snapped against bis wrist His gun dropped to the floor and Grahame covered It with Ills foot. "Neit time," said Grahame, "you 11 be really sorry. He picked up the heavy revolver nd tossed it on the table. Ortega flowered at blm, his teeth bared In half snarl. He beld his wrist tight ly with bis other hand. Grahame took up the revolver from the table and slipped it Into his pocket. He strode to the door and turned. "I'm sleeping with your car Co tonight," He smiled a little grim ly. "In the event I don't see you In tire morning, adloa." TTE GATHERED hU dunnage at 1 tbe launch and took It to the building where the arms were tacked. He unrolled his hammock and lashed It In place. He lay down fully dressed with bis automatic ready beneath bis hand and his flashlight In the other. He could see a light flowing through the thatch from the other building, and heard the voices of the three aa a low mumble. Later he heard them moving about outside. The engine of the launch coughed and settled to a atesdy throbbing. Evidently they were no' walling for the morning's light to leave by. His thought was conllrmod when he beard 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 aa distance swal lowed Ita sound. Grahame relaxed and closed his yes. He dosed fitfully, however, his mind restless and wary. Finally be slept. 'TpWO figures loomed In the square A made by the doorway, but about Ave yard distant from It. Grahame threw himself from the hammock aa two guns spat flame. He beard the thud of tbe bullets hit tlnf the cases, then his own gun be gan to jump In bis hand. Above tbe crashes be beard one i of the men cry out, then both melted from bis gun sights. He Jumped to the doorway. The two were fleeing toward tbe clearing's edge. He sight ed on the back of the larger of the fleeing men, then lowered his gun. He shrugged his shoulders and turned to tbe boy standing beside blm. "How are you, Juan?" be asked, throwing an arm over the lad's shoulders. "I am all right." He drew a deep breath. "But very frightened, ssnor." Frank grinned. "Well, so waa I But I suspect not half so much as our two friends." He looked at the boy appraising ly. wbo gated back at blm wltb can did eyea. Despite the young fellow's assurance that ha had been afraid, there was no trace of timidity Is 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 the 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 waa disappointed. He aald heartily: "Then you would rather not go with me. But that Is all right Her ... I will give yon aome money, muchacho, for what you did for me this night and you can head back toward the coaat when you wish." Again Juan gave him that level look. "I did not say I would not go ssnor. I said that It waa dangerous." ICrritl. I'll, ly H,.b-1 l,,.) Tomorrow. Mr Qra.ns learns of Maxlcsn dimcultlts. Thrill for Berlin BRRLIN, Peb.
