The tacrine Horatio Greene and Juan a Uexl can bov hae made It poatfM lor the explorer frank Graham, and Janice Kent the moil ttar to es cape from a band ol savaoes in the interior ol Yucatan. The lavages had ofanneif to inurdei them. But now Frank and Janice find theu have fallen from the end ol an old ifavan road, and are lulng almost exhausted in what appears to be a pit. Chapter 37 EXPLORATION FRANK thought of reconnoltoring their p. jltlon but decided against It It would leave Janice unprotected and at night he would discover but little of value. Unprotected! He smiled grimly. His joints ached, the wound In his back pained him. He was com para uveiv weaponless. There was not much protection he would be able to offer Janice. His eyelids drooped. He arose and began to walk about the Are. But his limbs were leaden. Weariness (orced blm to lie upon the ground His head sank lower. Sleep tell upon blm with tha speed of a dropping hawk. A thudding upon the ground woke him. He lay a moment adjusting his mind to his surroundings. Overhead, In the turquoise sky of dawn, a vul ture hovered. It drifted beyond his sight. Through the arched fronds of leaning palm trees he saw the Jungle-clad Hp of a low cllft. Its face arched back and under. Beneath it was a low mound of debris, topped with ahrubbery. In tantly he knew that It was upon this mound that Janice and he had fallen. This was verified as he noted the break In the vegetation at the cliff s edge where the old Maya road ' had abruptly terminated In space. Tha thudding recommenced a vi bration upon the ground that was transmitted to his ear. Swiftly he arose to his feet, and glanced about him. The Are was dull embers In whits ashes. Janice was not In sight. He parted his Hps to call when be caught sight of her within the palm grove. With the machete she was pounding at an ob ject npon a rock. As be approached she looked up with a smile. "Breakfast, maybe," she told him. "These cocoanuts are like leather. And not at all like the kind we have at home." Frank chuckled. "The greatest ' wonder," he Informed her, "Is that you recognized them for cocoanuts. Here,'-let me have the knife. The one you're working on Is rather old. I'll get some good ones.". . LIB LAUGHED at her crestfallen 1 1 face. Strapping the machete to his waist he approached one of the smaller trees. "I haven't 'shinned' since I was a kid but ,. , watch me." He made the aecent Reaching the lower leaves, be hacked at a cluster of green nuts. He called to Janice to watch out. The nuta thudded to the ground. Be slid down. Chopping at the green fiber, soon he had two of the nuts open at the top. He passed one to Janice. "Here'a how," he grinned. "Drink all you can, and scoop out the pulp with your Angers. Fingers were made before spoons, you know." "Out not mine," she answered with a little mock grimace. It waa little enough tor breakfast, but It must serve. They tossed away the emptied husks and stood look ing at each other. She seemed to sense the trouble In his eyes. Im pulsively she put forward her band and rested It upon his sleeve. "Never mind," abe said. "We'll get out somehow." "Of course," he answerod with forced cheerfulness. But the memory of Green's and Juan'a sacrifice for them lay Ilk a pall upon him. In that Inatant be took oath with him aelt that their herolo act would not have been In vain. He would, some how, get Janice out of this. "Let's take a look around," he suggested. "We can't get back the way we came, ?o let's continue on In the direction of the broken road. I think I saw another cliff a few hundred yards acrosa this little val ley. Perhaps wa can climb up to there and continue on tbe road. Consider Ing the direction of the sun, the rosd runs roughly east and west. Might be able to follow It to the sea." TTB RECOVERED his coat from II the side of the Are and they began to work their way toward the spot where another cliff, similar to PORTLAND PUCKSTERS SWAMP ESKIMOS 13-7 PORTLAND, Feb.

Halfway to It the ground dipped sharply into a swiftly running stream. The stream was not wide, but It was very deep. They followed It northward a few hundred yards until they dlecovered that the Aow came out from a huge cavern under the northern cliff. They stopped, nonplussed. No where had thoy discovered a way of gaining the level of the Jungle above them. f hie told Janice to watch out. They retraced their stops until they came to the spot where they had camped the night before. Tbe sun had swung up Into the sky. Their little valley was becoming as humid as a hot house. Wralthes of rapor, sucked upward from the damp ground, fogged the rank regetntlpn. Frank glanced anxiously at the girl by his aide. "Fool like resting, Janlee?" She shook her bend. "I'm not tired. Just a little hungry." Thoy plckod their way southward. Finally thoy reached the lower end of the stream. As It had at the other end of the little valloy here again the current swirled Into the man of cavern under the face of that queorly concave cliff. Frank said thoughtfully. "And no way to get out of here Id this direction." He glanced back ward up the stream. The currenl flowed around a small promontory two hundred yards distant. The trunk of a palm lay across th, I roam at that point. Frank pointed to It. "We've Jusl about boon around the valley- cept for that loworelde there that's hidden by the little hill. Let's crosi at that fallen palm and tnke a look It we're blocked there .. ," Janice mot his glancatfoarlcssly If we'ro blocked there," she promp ted. "then what?" Frank shrugged. "Oh, we'll gel out," he replied with a hoartlncsi he did not toel. i They made tholr way to the palm log.
