JUAN'S REVENGE

and uncomfortably unwashed. 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.
Although they were speaking In

sibilities of bis getting to It, and the
probable cbancea of bis taking off
successfully.
Had the tires held their Inflation?
The stuff poor Juan bad poured into
the tank might not have been high
test gasoline. Perhaps Langton bad
left enough In the carburetor to rev
up the motor until Its heat would
make an Inferior grade good fuel.
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

The rough palm of a guard smote
the words back into bis teeth.
Juan's jet eyes brightened. He still

A drum began a sullen thumping.
"None," he said distinctly.
She drew a breatb, flutterlngly.
Her shoulders straightened, and her
chin lifted. 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

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.

welled at the corner of his mouth
and spread downward over his chin.

Into those of the guard. The man's

repetition of the blow.
"Sonor," he continued In his liq
uid Spanish, as It there had been

happier. I told them, when I waa

It happened suddenly. There were

Orahame heard a scuffling, and an
agonliod cry that broke In a squeal.
He saw the bulk of Ortega
atretched across the altar stone.
