He passed his hand over the stubble of beard on Ms cheek: he ran bis fin gers through his hair In an uncon scious attempt to tidy himself. The girl smiled. "They left me my compact," she said, still ..mlllng. Grahams chuckled, then abrupt ly his expression sobered. "Have they toll you. ..." While her smile was fixed, he no ticed the clear blue of her eyes darken. "Yes," she said quietly, "I know, i Is there any hope at all?" The guards soemed very still.

A cloud of Incense wreathed about the beads as they were taken around the temple-house to the altar slab. It made Janet cough. It smelled like burning paint, with an under-odor that was like rank to bacco. They turned the corner of the house. Facing them, held by two armed natives, was Juan. The lad's face was pale. About his head was swathed a cloth, stained with dirt and blood. His eyes however, flashed with anger and defiance; they glittered like fresh-chipped obsidian. The lips beneath his aquiline nose were a thin line of defiance. As he saw Grabame they relaxed In a smile. BUENOS dlas, Sonor," he greet ed. His lips parted. The rough palm of a guard smote the words back into bis teeth. Juan's jet eyes brightened. He still IN OPINION ON CHILD LABOR PROHIBITION j WASHINGTON. Feb. 32. (AP) Mrs, Franklin D.

Then suddenly, as If by Impulse her hand reached out and . palled Grahame's wrist. "Thank you, Prank," she said, "You came Into this for me, didn't you? 1 can't say anythlnn " The activity of her guards Interrupted hor. They were hedged through the doorway and Into the early sun light Orahame blinked hie eyea at the shimmering glare. A few hundred yards to the left the serrated sides of the great pyramid slanted up ward toward the temple-house. In the qulot air above, a column of smoke streamed stralghtly upward, then flattened as It touched some new atmosphorlo stratum. Crowds of people clung to the sides of the huge monument and were gathered about Its base. As they pressed through the lanes made by their guards, they saw that the concourse was composed of botb sexes, men In their brcech-clouts and sandals, the women In their long cotton robes. Some of tb women carried young children upon their hips, holding older ones, solemn eyed little people, by the hand. A gala day for them, thought Orahame bitterly, like the (toman shows of old In the coliseums whon men were caused to flounder In their own blood, for the glorification of a Caesar. It was ago old, this bilslness; It was only the conditions that varied.

As they topped the last of the stops be looked backward and to ward the central space within the city. There, almost hidden by the long morning shadow cast by a dis tant building was the airplane. It caught some of the sun's rays on Its metal wings. To Crahame, from the height at which he stood. It appeared like a tiny dragon-fly resting upon a dis tant stone. He felt the skin of bis smiled, although a thin line of blood welled at the corner of his mouth and spread downward over his chin. "Ooatl" The boy's eyes burned Into those of the guard. The man's glance tell, and be attempted no repetition of the blow. "Sonor," he continued In his liq uid Spanish, as It there had been no Interruption, "I have made you happier. I told them, when I waa taken, of the sympathetic assist ance that Don Raoul Ortega gave ua. How he helped mo hide, and made It possible for you to effect the escape of " "He lies!" From the entrance of the tomple house, Ortega came. His hands were bound beblnd him, and two guards held him bv the alhnwa mi. apparently was a pitiful plight. i ne man a lips were flaccid with panic: cohr-enca wan Inur in th Jumbled sentencea tbat tumbled trom them.

The big man winced aa the downy particles touched him oulte a. if ih burned his skin. The priest drew bis knife and hold it over the stone. It happened suddenly. There were no preliminaries. Fresh smoke -II-lowed from the temple door. Orahame heard a scuffling, and an agonliod cry that broke In a squeal. He saw the bulk of Ortega atretched across the altar stone.
