"T THINK." ald Juan finally, "that
1 they will slay there today. At
this season, It rains In the late after
noon, and sometimes at night It la
more pleasant to be about between
the showers. I think these people
are all sleeping now." .
Still Orabame hesitated to leave
his look-out.
"It you will climb down to our
packs. 1 will watch tor you. There
Is nothing we could Jo now, except
learn It they take those prisoners
elsewhere. Even then we could do
nothing, and we might he seen here
sooner or later. Also, I am hungry.'
Juan smiled aa he mentioned his
appetite.
Frank gare him an uncertain
smile. "Maybe you're right, son,
Let's both slide down. 1 have s
hunch we oughi to find aome aafe
place not tar trom here, and hold a
council of war.
"Not that any place near here
would be particularly safe. But It
ought to be nosslble to find a spot
where we could keep out ot sight,
and yet be able to get Into the city
during the night, or Into the Jungle
tor food.
They made a cautious descent,
and slipped toward the trail they
had tett ao precipitously that morn'
tng, beside which they had cached
their packs.
Juan was in the lead, a trall-posl-
tlon that Orabame usually accorded
him, aince he had found that the
boy had a canny Instinct In sensing
trail-danger, before he, Orabame,
could evor possibly be aware of It
They reached the tangle of fallen
scrub palmetto where they bad left
their packs. Orabame heard Juan's
low murmur of astonishment and
hurried forward. Unconscious of
the action, the American's fingers
elosed over the butt of his auto
matic.
Juan stood staring thoughtfully at
the place where they had left the
packa. There was no doubt that
this bad been the spot; the grass
ind palm leaves still shewed lndcn
tatlons where the weighty sacka
had been; but the packa, with their
hammocks, their extra clothing and
ammunition,' with their first-aid kits
and emergency rations, were gone!
At the Instant of discovery Juan
ill) a thing which proved that
Jungle-wisdom is Instinctive. He
leaped backward toward Grahame.
The American, muscles reacting to
the suddenness of the boy's move
ment, crouched.
From a screen ot bush bohlnd the
pot where their packs had been,
the naked torso of a man appeared,
golden In the sunlight He held In
bla banda a rlfl In a camera-abut-
ter glimpse, Orabame saw tbat the
butt of the gun was almost to his
shoulder.
The American fired trom under
his arm, the mustle ot his pistol
barely tree ot tbe holster. With
the report ot tht shot the man
slipped through the bush onto his
(ace. The rifle, falling from bla limp
handa, clattered against a stone.
A MBUSH! Orabame saw Juan'a
arm crook backward, and then
snap forward like a uprlng released
trom compression. A silver streak
sped from his hand and Into tbe
bush to the left There was a thud,
the unmistakable sound ot a knife
slapping Into flesh and a short,
throaty "Ah-h,"
Two rifles cracked. Grahams felt
a tug at bla collar where his shirt
flared away trom bla neck; then tbe
sound ot a bullet crackling through
underbrush. He Orel quickly,
right and left, at the taint wreaths
ot smoke curling upward. He heard
a cry.
From the corner ot his eye be saw
Juan weaving backward, half
crouched. He followed. Two ec
centrle leans brought them to cover.
Once again a rifle oracked. The
bullot whined harmlessly overhead.
The action had taken only a few
seconds. Stealthily they slipped
Into the jungle. Behind them they
heard a shot or two, and the sound
of mauy voices raised In shouted
question and answer. They rsn
now more oponly, careless ot the
noise they made. Frank knew that
dlstsnce between them and their
pursuers countod vitally.
A half-mile from the scene ot tho
ambush, they pauseu.
"Where now?" asked Qrahame.

Juan shruggeu bis shoulders. "II
our legs are better than theirs
which I doubt we might make the
coast ahead of them."
"There's a chance," mused
Urahame. "They would travel more
slowly, fearing ambush. You could
never hope to hide your trail. It
L worth the chance. We part here,
Juan. You've been a good boy.
Head tor the coast tbe best way
you can, and may luck be with you."
He held forth his band.
"And you, Senor?"
"While you go east, I will head
south, for a while. Later I will con
fuse my trail. If 1 can, and return
here. They will follow me, which
will give you the better chance.
"No," said Juan.
"Yes." corrected Grahame. "This
Is an order. 1 have a plan. There
Is a white woman held captive In
tbe big pyramid. 1 must see that
she escapes, or "
. "I know," Interrupted Juan sober
ly. "Tbe senor Is not Catholic?"
Puzzled, Grahame shook his bead;
whereupon Juan said.
"Well, tbat Is doubtless a very
good thing. It will not matter so
much If you die unsbrlven."
Despite his concern tbe American
chuckled. "Beat It now, son.
We've talked quite long enough.
Goodbye, and again, good luck."
"Adlos." answered Juan with a se
cretive smile. He turned, pressed
the American's hand, and then
passed Into the jungle to the east'
ward.
TO Grahame, slipping southward,
a half hour later, came tbe
thought tbat as Juan had left blm,
the boy had aeemed in be most care
less about ine trail be left
So Juan was giving him, Grahame,
a break, just aa be bad Intended
giving ono to Juan. The American
shook his bead. A good lad, Juan.
What a pity If he could not make
the coast, and safety.
Ha noticed, to the right of blm,
a barren rocky expanse, dotted only
with spiny sisal and scrub cactus.
He entered It and carefully picked
his way between the vegetation, be
ing sure that hla boots touched only
stone.
He hoped those following blm
would be careless, and conclude
tbat ha waa bearing south. Halfway
through the rocky field, he worked
to the right finally making almost a
complete turn, so tbat he headed
northwest toward the habitation of
bla enemies.
In the late afternoon the sun
clouded over, and Orabame watched
the big Iguana lizards slide from
the rocks and .disappear Into their
dens. He took a lesson from these
roptllea and kept an eye out for
shelter.
A tew minutes later he found It
In a heap of jungle-grown slabs,
another ruin. He entered an open
ing, and composed himself to wait
until the afternoon downpour was
over. Already he saw large drops
splashing over bis back-trail. i
The shower waa u stroke of luck.
If he were not followed too closely.
the rain would obliterate any sign
he may have left
The day became dark. Lightning
flickered, and thundei crashed
above; whereupon rain descended In
torrents. The sheet oi falling wa
ter obscured his view past the en
trance. Then, as suddenly as It be
gan, the down-pour lessened, and
again hts sight of the outside jungle
waa clear.
Tbe rain diminished to c mist and
stopped entirely. Qrahame arose to
his feet and drawing bis pistol from
Its bolster under his arm, was about
to dismount It tor cleaning, while
there remained light enough to do
so, when he froze Into Immobility.
A shadow drifted past, coming trom
the south. Another went by.
Slowly Qrahame bent Into the
gloom cast by the wall beside the
opening. His trailers! He counted
them aa they faded across the
opening.
Eleven. Enough, thought the
American, to settle his account. He
wondered ai the skill that kept
them on his trail. The rain had been
his salvation. He heard a guttural
voice speak In an unknown lan
guage, and the reply flung back
trom ahead.
This puzzled the American, as he
felt that they would not be so care
less ot souno If they bolleved that
their quarry waa ahead. Or per
haps they had glvon up the chase
and wore returning. That was II.
They had lost hU trail within tht
atone patch, and were returning
from the southward to their city.
Perhaps It was only a section of
a largor party that had spread In
different directions.
