JANICE exclaimed In a choked voice, "He's hurt, Frank, oh, he's hurt!" Langton muttered, "That hap pened weeks ago. I'm all right now. I got cracked up badly trying to get out ot this valley, t. Una I'd made broke when I was hallway up the cliff. . . , Getting food was pretty hard tor a tew weeks. . . ." Janice's eyes glistened. Langton smiled. "Don't (eel sorry tor me Miss Kent wait 'til 1 show you my Crusoe bachelor quarters. I've got everything including running water. Too much running water, but I'm afraid not so many groceries as I'd like. . . ." He chatted on, gayly. Inconse quentially, as It he were admitting them to bis bouse tor an afternoon's visit. Frank could not take bis eyes from the gangling emaciated figure. I The few rags ot clothes he bad 'were soiled and torn and hung from him like pitiful tatters on a scare crow. He suggested that they walk to his camp. He ambled ahead with a grotesque limp, swinging his stone-tipped bludgeon with what was almost an air of gay insouciance. The other arm stood out at a pitiful angle. , The afternoon sun dipped beyond the western cliffs as they reached Langton's. Ore. The higb-prlest lay as they bsd seen him earlier In the afternoon, face Immobile, eyes hate ful. Frank experienced a little crawl ing ot the muscles of his back as the ahkln's eyoj rested upon him. Help less as the man was nevertheless his glance seemed to have substance. Frank felt the malevolent Impact of his gaze. The ahkln seemed to have a power tor harm tbat was be yond the physical. Langton poked the Ore with a tick. Several hours had passed since they had found him at their camp acrosB the stream. After show ing them bis "Crusoe quarters" the small shack that stood before the entrance to an extensive care, he had pressed them with questions of the outside world. His months out ot civilization, 'ie bad said, seemed like so many years. Frank had gossiped steadily, and bis news, supplemented by wbat Janice could tell, seemed to bring back the side of Billy Langton's nature the lmpudont, reckless charm that the world had thought lost forever to It. " Langton listened with the com plete absorption of a child with a fairy tale. Once with a vaBt penitence be In terrupted to ask them If tbey wore hungry. He barely waited for their answer, but disappeared Into the cave and brought out a woven bas ket of dried venlaon. Janice and Frank- ate ravenously. The ahkln, when It was offored to him had waved bis hand negatively, almost contemptuously. Nor djd Langton eat any. "He's like I am, "Langton grinned. "I'm so sick of the stuff my self I'd rather eat a bucket of spinach ... If I had a bucket of spinach." FRANK glanced at him suspicious ly. "Is that all you have?" He pointed at the basket. Langton chuckled behind his blond beard. "I got you. But you're wrong this time . . . There's more In the cave. And more running around loose in tho jungle. "This place Is sort of a wild game trap. Animals that don't fall off the cliffs float down the stream and land here. They can't got out." He stared with Impassive reflection Into the fire. "I've done as well for food as could be expected. I've had enough, any way. 1 made a rope of vines snd cactus fiber. With It i could trap a deer when 1 wanlod. "I've even caught a turkey or two. and managed to net flab. Tbs flab weren't very good. The trouble wss " Langton msde a grimace . " that the rope finally got me In trouble. "I made a long one, tied a rock to JUSTICE COURTS OUT SALEM.

Van Winkle's opinion stated: "I find EVERYWHERE jiaJw.? wrt GODDESS by Herbert Jensen It and practised slinging It 1 got so I could throw It quite a distance. It occurred to me tbat if I could sling It ud over the Up of the cliff It might catch on something and I could haul myself up by It. "1 tried It. After a while It fast eued on something 1 thought stout lyand after testing It by climbing ten feet or so 1 decided to risk the entire climb. Well , . . It let mo down. . . ." He pointed to bis maimed arm. "I broke that, and dislocated my hip. 1 crawled back here. It was , pretty bad for a while. 1 had some food but 1 couldn't hunt 1 guess for weeks." He grinned again. "But my appetite wasn't what you'd call hearty, and I got by ail right." "What did you do for Are?" asked Janice. "That was the least of my worries. I found a wood that burns forever, 1 think. The natives used It back In the city, and 1 had a few matches." They sat and talked late into the night. The mosquitoes did not bother them. Lauglon claimed that It was because there was good drain age into a swiftly flowing stream, and therefore there could be no breeding places. Langton's story was that he bad been blown out of his course by the hurricane anil sighted no place to land until to bis amazement he saw the great stene-slabbed clearing near the pyramid. Not only could he land there but It appeared designed for a later take off. He had, then, no hesitation In landing. "I'D been spoiled, I guess," he went A oa with a bint of apology in his smile. "When the natives surround ed me I thought that they composed a sort of jungle reception commit tee. They seemed to know who 1 was, too. "1 used to read stories about these people down here who made gods of blond men you know lota of those old Spanlardi. were blond, which Was one of the reasons they got by so well In the old days. "Even when they came they found the natives had blond-gods-from. the -east -legends. The Spaniards took advantage of those legends. "Maybe I thought I might do the same for a little while. I'm kid enough, I guess, to try feeling how it is to be a king. Yep," be continued, "I tried, but 1 didn't get away with it I met the ahkln here In a day or two and I began to wish that hurri cane had blown me somewhere else. "The blgh-prlest Isn't a bad sort, really. I think he's a remarkable fel low. He doesn't apeak English only Spanish yes, that's right, just Spanish and his own language, but he can read your mind like a book. "Don't tell me you don't believe In telepathy, Frank this boy can give you some startling exhibition. Either tbat or he's a twin brother to Herman the Great. Anyway we got along fine when I'd aak him ques tions that he could answer with a yes or a no In Spanish 1 know that much of the language, anyway. "We got along line, I say, until I wss taken to the top of the pyramid to witness one of tbelr little sunrise performances. They'd dressed me up quite trickily. "They killed a poor devil on the sacrifice stone . , . and a girl. I went a little haywire and in the fight came out second best. "They put me In a stone room, and gave me to understand that my scrap on the pyramid top had elect, ed me to take a more or leas per sonal part In tba next performance. "They treated me all right though. Tbey gave me soraj stuff from the ship, pop, chewing gum, and choco late bars" He grinned a little ' shamefacedly. "You know me. Frank. Frank used to tell me. Miss Kent, that all I needed on my crate was a peanut whistle to go Into bust ness. "I wrote a note on a cablegram envelope, and scratched my story on the wall, high up. The "envelope I put In a pop bottle and sealed It with chewing gum and a piece of rag from my shirt. When they took me to the pyramid top I carried the bottle with me. "To cut a long story short, I tried to take the ahkln with me not be cause I bsd anything personally against him, but he la a dangerous lunatic and with him out of the wa ttle vital statistics of this ancle city would take quite a drop for t good." tCefyritel. 19S4. h Kerlert leetf Frank and Bill discuss sic tomorrow. nothing In the act which gives to the Justice court concurrent Jurisdic tion will that of th circuit court fnr Imposition of a flna or a Jail sentence, thereunder.'

(AP) Prince Ernst von Starhemberfc, leader of the victorious fiuwlst helmwehr move ment, eaid today of Chancellor Engel- bert Dollfuas: "We aland or fall together." Von Sterhemberg made thia declar ation at his first official press recep tion. At his elbow was the federal press chief who customarily sits be side Chancellor Dollfuas at such functions. The helmwenr leader, however, quickly disposed of any suspicion that he was emerging aa the sole dic tator of Austria, by emphasizing re peatedly that he and Dollfuas are In full agreement and that the helm wehr Is absolutely convinced that Dollfuas will carry out the program of von Starhemberg and the helmwehr. The prince denied extra precautions were being taken along the frontier. "If It should become' necessary to safeguard the frontier," he said, "helmwehr troops would, of course, be rushed In that direction, but per sonally I do not anticipate this neces sity."
