WHAT GRAHAME SAW
A S good a place as any to look
upon what wai happening on
the otber aide, Frank thought, bar
ring possible snakes under the
loose rocks, tor vaguely be re
membered bavlng heard that tbe na
tives avoided these places usually.
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

ered with sun-helmets. 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.

Indeed his concern for her had

that she waa In dire need? and that

his lifetime, was there to supply that

do so.
Ho watched Janice bend and pick
up her headgear, although she did
not roplace It, He saw them pick

Into a doorway.
