BLOND 111 A NUw Serial SYNOPSIS; Frank Orahame hoe aone into the Yucatan innate to look tor hie mt$tno aviator friend. Bill Lanoton. Jantce Kent has aone to the same place to etar in a itavan otcture. accomoanied bv Greene, her orcee aaent. and a varlv. Note Frank. Jantce and Greene are vrttonere of the danger oue eublevadoe. Greene find! a meieaae ecratrhed on the window till ot the cell he eharee with Frank and it U tinned bv f-ona-ton I Chapter 31 ORTEGA "T yON'DER how Bill got that bottle Into the aea," laid Frank. "I wonder ... I haw) It!" he exclaimed. "That cenote Is part of an under rround river. He dropped the bottle In there, and It floated out to sea. I uess they killed Billy all right Mty be the bottle was on him when they threw bis bo3y over the pyramid. What a way to die!" He threw himself upon one of the stone benches. Their situation looked hopeless. If a man resource ful as Billy Langton could not sur vive la this place, there seemed mall chance of their getting out alive. His throat acbed as he thought of Janice. He clenched his lists In frenzy as he realized bow Impotent be was to help her. The cell was dark with evening when their guard returned. There were others with him. The cell door swung open. Two armed natives stepped within; a third followed bearing a tray ot tortillas and a Jug of water. Grahame stood erect with anger as be saw the next man to enter. Clad In white European garments, a cruel smile on his Hps, stood Don Raoul Ortega. . He smiled suavely. "Good after noon, my friend. We meet again In more favorable circumstances." Grahame smiled coldly. "I trust your arm Is better." "You " Ortega spoke a word that caused the American to flush deeply, tnd step forward. The big man's hand dropped to bis gun's butt. "No!" exclaimed a voice from the doorway. The tone was quiet, but Ortega seemed to shrink visibly. He mut tered undor bis breath and stepped beblnd one of th guards. ' With some surprise Frank poered toward the doorway. The figure of . an Indian stood there, simply clad, and armed only with a knife. His dark face, made darker by the ob icurlty, was jot completely visible. - As he stopped forward Frank drew In his breath sharply. Those falcon eycB, that vulturlne nose, wore those of the man he had last seen running from the car on that lonely Enclnada road. It was the face that he'd seen profiled on the frosted glass windows of Myberg's studio ofllce. FRANK observed him closely, watchfully. Ths man was not tall, 'but his erect carriage gave him the appearance of having a singular Stature. His seml-uude body was al most emaciated, but lithe muscles rippled across bis cbest and abdo men. The shoulders bespoke a smooth power. A nasty man to han dle In a scrap. His face was queerly fascinating, arrogant with a lofty lmperlous iiess; the lips were finely moulded. The eyes contained within their depths a glitter of fanatic Are, an Im personal cruelty, the savagory ot a aealot. He made a gesture with bis hand, and Ortega stepped forward. The big nan licked his Hps, smiling slightly. "I am to tell you," Don Raoul be gan, "what Is In store tor you." He yed Grahame maliciously, and pointed to the Indian who had com manded blm to speak. "He Is Ahkln, the head priest, and la the living representative of Cama sots, the Bat God, who serves Yum Cbao the rain God and the most Im portant of all. The Bat tears oft the heads of living men and devours the torn-out heart and blood ot his victims. A pleasant custom that has survived the centuries In this coun try. "Tomorrow, before the temple on the pyramid, you and your friend will assist In this rite. You will feed the god. He wants me to ask you which Is of higher rank In your land: there Is matter of prece dence Involved, you know." He paused and looked expectantly at Grahame. Graham drew a deep breath. Since be had heard Green read Langton's last message, b appreci ated most keenly the hopelessness of their situation. He knew that noth ing short or a miracle would prevent their being taken to the pyramid Dry Chirr llnniirrd. BALTIMORE, Peb, 10. (AP) Tlis board of visitors and governors of St John's course at Annspotls today elected Amos W. w. Woodcock, former federal prohibition administrator, president to succeed Dr. Douglas Huntly Gordon. EVERYWHERE I GODDESS Iy Herbert Jensen u..j slaughtered as Ortega bad promised. To prolong the span of his life but a few minutes at best, was beg ging the question of the inevitable. It was a small enough gesture to make, but be would give Greene the faint advantage It Involved. "OU may toll Ahkln that I am of tne nigner ranK, ne repiiea. -u would cause me great offence. If 1 am not murdered first" He smiled sardonically. "Where do you get that stuff?" cried Greene. 5 M 'fit It ! !, There seemed small chance of escape. Ortega's smile broadoned. "Thank you," ha said. "OLly you mlsappro hond the precedence. Your Impor- . tance makes you the last 1 would like It bettor that way myself, for -you. You will die, surely, but first you will see your friend on the cut ting stono." "Damn you!" whispered Frank. Don Radii's teeth gleamed In amusement. "What of Janice?" asked Groene. "The lady?" Ortega lighted one of his black clgarcts. mowing out a cloud of smoke he expanded his chest. "She will be trented quite gently." Ho smirked. "We havo ab elaborate plans for her . . . enter talnmont Miss Kent has boon brought here to piny the most Impor tant role of hor career. Here she will be the Daughter ot Ich-KIn, the Sun God." "Will they hurt her?" Greon whispered. Smoke from his clgarot trickled from his nostrils. He shook his head. No. Fortunntoly her blond hair makes bor a most Important person. Ahkln hero " Ills shoulder twitched toward his Indian compsn lon. "saw hor picture some months ago In some old newspaper wrappings 1 had put around a ship mont I made him." His dull oyes held a little spark ot amusement as he looked at Groene. "The powor of publicity. You should bo grntlfleu Mr. Groene. To think that here, lb tho heart ot Yuca tan" Green made an Inarticulate sound. He threw himself toward Ortega, who rotreated as a gnnrd roughly thrust tho little man back. (Coffiet, ItSl.
