I have a launch there, at my haci enda, and I will take yon south to Belize where the United Fruit boats top. From there you may sail to Cuba. You have plenty of money?" "Enough," sala Greene shortly. Ortega shrugged. "1 would sug gest you take enougb," be said. "It you carry drafts 1 can arrange to morrow to have them cashed for you." His glance appraised the dia monds on Janice's fingers and at her throat. "It Is not wise to wear Jewels In these times. You had better hide them." "Will this trip be safe?" asked the (Irl. I V TV''"'-, 'r People moved restlessly about Janice. "Oh, Quite," replied Ortega caau llly. He smiled slightly. . "Well." said Mr. Greene, "let's get going." They Bled out ot tbe car. Several soldiers helped them with their boxes. Ortega made arrangements to bare them taken to an bote). Mr. Greene admitted to Janice, rather grudgingly, that Ortega certainly eould get things done. Janice did not reply. She was too tired from the long day and the ex citement to take much Interest In what was going on about her. She noted, however, that Ortega kept close to her, ratber too close she thought, but perhaps It waa only bis leal to see that she waa made com fortable. SHE stood waiting (or ber coach. It was poorly Illuminated before tbe station. People moved restlessly about her native women with hawlt about their beads, children wbo whimpered, soldiers with stolid, sullen faces, whose metallic equip ment clinked and rattled as they moved. It waa then that abe observed the man wbo leaned against a post in the station entrance. Almost a pure Indian type she thought, taking In the dark skin, tbe beaked nose, and wide cheek-bones. A shock of coarse black hair fell over his forehead. He seemed to be staring toward her, yet not at ber. She turned toward Ortega, wbo was at her elbow. He was looking directly at the Indian. Ortega nodded his head. His Hps were parted In a halt smile, which vanished aa he became conscious of Janice's inter esL "A poor follow. " be said suavely. "A sort of servant of mine, from my hacienda." Janice wondered. Then, as the eoach drew up beside ber, she dis missed the matter from her mind. She assured herself that the alight feeling of uneaslnesa tbat persisted was due to ber fatigue, or her un famlllarlty with these strange sur roundings. Still, the Indian who had stared at Ortega at the station had not looked like a servant There had been eomethlng Imperious In his gase, something thst is seen In the WITH DIVERS HELMETS NABSAtT, BfthnmM.

GRAHAME made a last slash with bis machete and dropped It among the tangle of Jungle creepers at his feet. He drew tobacco and papers from bis breast pocket, and while rolling bis clgaret watched the tolling figure beside blm. Sweat glistened on Juan's bronze face, the muscles rippled under his sblrt aa be swung bis heavy knife. "Let's cut back to the trail, ma- chacbo." said Grabame. Tbe lad paused doubtfully. "But we may meet the men who come for the arms," he replied. "Almost," said Grahams, "It would be better than this." "Aa you say. I am willing." He grimaced at bis blistered bands and smiled. "It is better to die swiftly with a bullet than to expire slowly from too much work." Grabame chuckled. "Spoken Ilka a true son of Mexico." "Nevertheless," be continued, "we should be able to tell from the trail whether they bave passed , toward the baclenda or not. Also, they may bave returned with the cases. In that event, we can keep behind them." "Bueno," agreed Juan. "Good. The trail lies three kilometers to the south behind that email bill." They were about forty kilometers In from the coast. Roughly the di rection of the trail was south-west, They bad been nearly two weeks Journeying to reach this point, keep ing always off the main trail. At times their way was easy, when tbe Jungle opened Into broad grassy savannahs. At other points tboy were forced to plunge Into leech-glutted bogs where every step waa a supreme effort. Tbey skirted tbe small bill tbat Juan had noticed. Soon they stood upon a narrow path that twisted southward, a truly Indian trail that looped and swung around trees and swamp;, never ran straight. Juan preceded Qrabame aa they strode along. Their packs were humped blgb upon tbelr shoulders. Bach carried a rifle, taken from Or tega's landed cases. Occasionally Juan pointed to the right or left ot the trail, calling Qrahame'a atten tion to freshly aevered vines. "They bave passed this way to ward tbe coast 1 can not tell whether they bave returned." Tbey walked tor several hour. The trail dipped toward a swamp, and Grahams noticed tbat at the point It crossed tbe bog, tree trunks and branches had been thrown to give a arm footing. Juan uttered aa exclamation and hurried forward. "I can tell you more now," said the boy. "They are beblnd us. They have not returned. 8ee The mud Is trampled. The footprints go all In one direction. A very large party too. perhaps halt a hundred, per haps more." They stood at the edge of the swamp that stretched about two hundred yards ahead of them. Thoughtfully they examined the footprints. t "It's the side trail again tor us, son," i,ald Grahams. "At least until the footing Is dry. It would be telling era too much It we crossed here. We don't know how tar they are be hind us. If they see our prints here they'd send a party ahead to catch us."

(AP) The NRA today anatched down Its first blue eagle In a caee Involving violation of child labor provision, acting Jut an Administrator Hugh 3. Johnson prepared to oppose sug- ;rstlons for a general 30-hour week n American Industry before a house committee. The national compliance board announced & unanimous vote to j withdraw the eagle from the laundry of Moss Lugena, Hannibal, Mo. who waa found to have worked his son, , under 10, more than three hours a day. j "Regardless of relationship, child labor will not. be tolerated under the NRA," said the board. Authoratlve quarters close to John son said the administrator would tell the house labor committee hear j Ing on the bill by Chairman Con ' nery (D., Mass.) for a 30-hour week ' that It would be nuxt to Impossible for Industry and business to assume such an added payroll load at pres ent. 1 Aides said Johnson was prepared to concede that the 40-hour week Imposed by most of NRA 'a codes .has not re-absorbed as many unemployed as waa hoped. The administrator himself has said a shorter week la necessary and he la prepared to urge It at the coming conference of all code authorities. Intimating the suggested week might be 36 or.
