PXflE TCTfiTTT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, JIEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1931. BLOND A New Serial GODDESS ly Herbert Jensen SYNOPSIS! Frank Orahame. explorer in the wild ot Yucatan tearchino tor Uill Lanoton. ml.t ing aviator, iuet has found the olrl he lovea Janice Kent the movie etar. imprisoned at the too ot a Uavan vtiramtd. She with a party irom Hollywood has come into the junale to make a Uexlran picture, and hae tnllcn into the hande of the eublevadoe. Chanter 28 THE ESCAPE AN'T tell how many ot tbeae i people are about," Frank went Ion. "Come. We have lust enough time to get Into the Jungle belore daylight" "I'm tied." Her whlaper was faint with fatigue. Orabame realized that since dawn ahe bad probably been awake. Grabame examined her bonds. They were tied Intricately, but loosely enough not to constrict the flesh. She bad tree movement of her limbs, but the ropes were cunningly arranged to prevent any major ac tivity. Grabame drew his clasp-knife, and made short work of the thongs. Janice sat erect and placed her feet upon the floor. She waa dressed as he had seen her that morning, In coat, breeches, and puttees, "Come," be said, "well go now." "Walt," she answered. "We can't looking about him with the ut most curiosity, and, It seemed to Grabame, with a little dismay. Grabame remembered that the man had been carried to tbls height while unconscious. It spoke Tolumea In praise for Mr. Greene'a poise that his expression betrayed so little consternation. They began the descent, with the eastern sky splitting Into streaks of saffron. Grahame led the way, with Janice following, and Greene bring up the rear. Greene moved slowly, bis fingers gripping at the rough atone steps with the nervous anxiety ot a man unaccustomed to height. They skirted the rocky ledge about the pit. Janice gated at Its sullen depths with frank wonderment, while Mr. Greene, after one quick glance, averted bla eyes and stum bled after them with quickened pace. Tbey reached Grahame's hiding place, breathless from their haste, and paused. "I think," observed Grahame, "that It would be safer to keep on for a mile, until we are well Into tbe stony country Just below. We can double back and hide In tbe small ruin." He gestured with his arm. THEY continued onward. After a little while Grabame bore to the right, returning in a rough circle to PRICE OF LIQUOR CUT BY CONTROL BOARD OF STATE ! PORTLAND, Ora., Feb. 15. (AP) A reduction of about 10 per cent In liquor price, compared with what was described as an "unofficial price Hat" published her Monday, was or. tiered by the Oregon liquor control rom mission today. The reduction, It waa a&ld, was proportlontely greater on Imported and bonded liquors than on low priced domestic whiskies and gins. The state liquor stores will open in Portland tomorrow, and shortly thereafter In other parte of the state. The first list, described as "price List No. 1," was published here Monday morning and a clamor of criticism arose over the prices charg ed. The control board then met to reconsider. The original list quoted the cheap est blend whiskey at I 10 a pint, and the obeapest domestic gin at $1 a pint. Random examples of the new and the former tentative price Illustrate the changes that have been made. Sterling blended whiskey, originally scheduled at 3.50 a quart, will sell at 2.9ft; pints will be 91.65 Instead of 185. WASHINGTON. Feb. 15.

But I'm afraid ws can't take blm this trip. Perhaps you don't realise, but we're In a dangerous position. We have a thousand-to-one chance of getting" "You don't understand," she said weakly. "I will not leave bore with out blm." Grahame bad a curious sense of anger. Some of tbe old burt she bad dealt blm revived. It seemed that In very situation this girl was to thwart him. ' "Does Greene mean so much to you then that " "Naturally." Her tone waa Snal with Ita simplicity. Orahame's nod waa almost a bow of submission. He slipped Into the corridor. He glanced at the atlll Dg ' ores of the guards; they would be unconscious for sometime yet, he decided. Oreena was asleep when he found him. Orabame worried, for an In stant, that tb man's slight snore betrayed a concussion resulting from tbe blow be had received. But as the keen blade cut Into the ropea, 'Greene started up with a fury that while It reassured tbe other, nearly sent him off balance. , "Easy, manl" he cautioned. : "Sh-b-b-h!" j GRAHAME turned bla head and VJ found Janice Just behind him. "I think." she said, "I heard nolsea of some kind. They seemed far tway." : "From below."antwered Orabame. "Noise floats I'pward. It'a about time tbe cltv nlow la awakening. We bare nc : to lose." They ttol corridor, made the turn ps burning recepta cle, and out io tbe great atone altar. It u ,.;n that Grahame made the !:- ,-ry that about the base was h ,..c U many klnda of food, chief). i sis and meats, some raw, some cn.vtd. It waa tbe c:.u of these foods tbst bad accentually bit aente ot hun ger. He grastK'ij :rct handfulls and stuffed them Into the wide slits of bla kbakl coat. He felt Immensely sheered. "A break for ut," he whispered. Janice smiled wanly. Greene waa the rear ot the ruin. There was an other entrance on tbat side, quite overgrown. They climbed over tbe rubbish that had fallen between the portals, and found themselves within a large chamber, A portion ot the roof had crumbled Inward, making a center pile of stone blocka. Tbe tky through the roof's gap, was orange with dawn. Other parti of tbe room seemed weather-tight. Tbe curious V-arcbed bracing, with out keystones, which was unique with an extinct race of Maya build ers, waa apparently Intact and would stand tor further centuries. Orabame divested himself ot his coat, and produced bla food supply. Each seemed conscious ot the most vital business In hand. First of all they must have food and rest. Later they could discuss their circumstan ces, and the events that bad brought tbem together In thla ominous situ ation. They consumed their meal In al ienee. Oreene rolled his Isst bit ot meat In a fragment ot tortilla and remarkod that be could do with a , glaaa of beer, a large one preferably, but lacking that, a balf a gallon of spring water would do. The other man looked at him sar donically. 'When the Oovernor ot North Carolina made bla clastic remark to bla political neighbor," Frank 'ob served, "he surely had Tucatan In mind. With luck we'll get a little water about tour o'clock this after noon, when It rains. The wider you can stretch your mouth the more vou'll get." Mr. Oreene looked a trace discon certed. '1 don't like you," be said, and retting his bead against a stone, he slept. But Janice and Graham bad too much to dlacusa tor sleep. He avoided most carefully any mention of their laat Interview In Hollywood. Ha gave aa his sole reason for com ing to tbls country hla conviction tbat hit friend, the lost flyer Lang ton, had fallen somewhere within tbls Jungle.
