He rested against some piled slabs at ibe top. Their careful de tour and ascent had taken the bet ter part of an bour. Cautiously he adjusted bis body so that be might peer over the top. He stared wlib growing amaze ment. He lifted his bead over the natural parapet, but, at a whispered word of caution from Juan, sank back. Tbe morning's mists were dissi pating, but still they made a hazy background for a number of rect- ' auKular stoue buildings some dis tance ahead of them. For an In slant Orahame thought that 'the jungle vapor was playing pranks with his sight. People were moving about, olad In the traditional costume of the ancient Mayas. - The mon were naked except tor short, tightly wound eloths about their middles, The women were covered by' long loose gowns, of white material, cut square at tbe neck, and bordered with bright embroidery. Both sexes wore sandals. The men's hair was worn long, cut squarely at the neck, anu bound by a oloth around their foreheads; the women's hall fell down their backs In one long braid. The amailng tact was that the skin ot some of the Inhabitants of this strange city was light, bronze to be sure, but yet undoubtedly Caucasian. The mists parted. The buildings, Irregularly spaced, stretched ahead of Orahame for more than a mile, they made an Impressive approach to a hugs pyramid that centered all the edifices like a glgantto triangu lar hub. Its top waa truncated and sur mounted by a low squat building from which a thin column of amoke splraled upward. "Iguros made tiny by distance crawled upon tbe side of the monument. I70CUSINU nu gaze at the base 1 ot the pyramid, Orahame made out a large concourse of people. They had divided, and through the path they made, a smaller group of people were passing. From this party he glimpsed the glitter ot car tridge belts and rlflos. Orahame felt at bis side for bis binoculars. He dragged them from their case, aud elbows propped above the top stone, adjusted the powerful lenses. The base of the pyramid leaped at him with start ling distinctness. Through a lane made by the massed throng, a score ot natives passed. Their bucks were criss crossed with cartridge bolts. Kach carried a rifle. Within this moving group there were the flguros of two men, clad In lll.torlc Clinlll I'rewntrrt BAN FRANCISCO (UP) The orig inal surveyor's chain used by Jasper O'Farrel In the first survey of the I don-Mown district In 1B48.

While their limbs were unhampered In any manner, tho American noticed that tbe armed men that followed pressed them closely, with guns held at tbe alert Tbe small column began tbe as cent of the pyramid. About a third of tbe way up one of the putteed figures seemed to lag. A guard, re versing bla rifle, put tbe butt of the weapon against the prisoner's back and pusbed with rough Insistence. Tbe mao turned, and Orabame saw him lash out with bis flat with Anglo-Saxon abruptness. Tbe guard fell, and rolled toward the bottom steps. A confusion followed. A rifle barrel glinted In tbe sun, and thwacked against the belmet of tbe aggressor. The bead-covering spun ke a white ball In tbs air as the man who was struck collapsed to the steps. The otber figure turned and struggled through the confusion to reach tbe comrade who had fallen. The guards closed about. ABRUPTLY they separated. Rais ing bis binoculars Orahame saw, descending from the bouse atop tbe pyramid, a tall figure, clad In san dals and breech-clout. Tbe bead was covered with an elaborate head dress of foathera and plumes. The guard had falluu back until It ringed the two foreign figures, one standing, the other prone. The tableau seemed to await a command from the descending native. One of the guards stepped for ward and with a gesture pulled the sun-helmet from the head or the standing prisoner. Like streamers of light reflected from a golden mirror tbe hair toll from the head down paat the shoulders. A woman! Orahame's eyes blurred wltb the Intensity of bis gaze, and wltb Angers that were moist wltb excitement, he adjuated the tocua ot bis glassos. "Juan!" he whispered boaraely. "Juan! It's a white nomnnl" She half turned away from the soml-clrcle ot guarda. She seemed, almost, to be looking directly at Orahame. The Amorlcan gasped, lie felt a ourlous chill speed across bis shoulders. He held his breath, and toll bis skin tighten. To some remote cave-llving ances tor of la, the same sonsatlon would have brought erect the coarse hair upon his body. To Orahame, the olvlllied, that floating sense of tear gave way Immediately to bo' anger. and a great anxiety. "Janice," he whispered. "Janice Kent!" It was odd that be (e!t no curiosity about bow ehe bad come here. The distance between Hollywood and this remote spot In Yucatan, had been brushed away the Instant he realised that It was she. Indeed his concern for her had wiped away every thought except that she waa In dire need? and that be, by the happiest stroke ot luck In his lifetime, was there to supply that aid If It were humanly possible to do so. Ho watched Janice bend and pick up her headgear, although she did not roplace It, He saw them pick up the body of ber fnllen companion, and watched the group pass up the stops ot the pyramid, and disappear Into a doorway.
