BIRD OF RESCUE
THEIR story wai quickly told.
The aettlnit aun found Grahama
sprawled serosa the cockpit pencil
ilng a note that rat to be sent from
the neareat cab. office,
j Within an hour or two. he hoped,
idupllcatea of this message would be
In Mybcrg'a office and al Spin Win-
islow'a apartment In Hollywood, two
i thousand airline mlleg away.
Grahama gave the pilot parting
Instructions. "It's hurry up that
counts. This beach here Is about
fifteen miles long. Good landing
pot tor a land plane.
"We'll be her at the northern
end. Spin could land one of the big
Lizzies on It It he can't get anything
smaller and faster at short notice.
Got going, now, and thanks."
Greene said Importantly, "That's
1L Make It snappy. Vou make It
snappy and some day I'll give you
s write-up that will make your
worst enemy proud to know you."
The pilot grinned broadly. He
said to Grahame:
"What's this guy dol Own s
newspaper!"
1 Frank chuckled. "He's a press
agent." The man reached for his controls.
"Oh, so that's It. Funny, be doesn't
look crazy, but now I get It. So
long. . . ."
The roar of the motors drowned
Greene'a Indignant expostulation.
JN THE great square before the
pyramid, the column of priests
and guards began their slow march
measured by flat drum beats vibrat
ing through the steamy air.
! The up-borne litter of tbe high-
priest led the procession. Tbe cage

In by a stuare of -guards walked
i Janice and Langton.
Janice threw a beseeching glance
'at ner companion.
"Billy," she whispered. "Is there
any chance at all? Have you made
any plan I , , ."
Langton'a eyes were red-rlmmed.
Obviously his nights had brought
intra little sleep. His face was drawn
with lines of Impotence and baffle-
iment. He answered with a voice
Ihusky with fatigue wavering with
ieompasslon.
! "Afraid not, Janice. If Frank had
gotten to tbe coast and It hadn't
rainea mere might have been a
faint chance, but"
He mads a little gesture of de
spair. A tenuous apathy settled upon
Janice's mind. Objects about her
became unsubstantial. Illusory as

vaguely ane remembered that It
was said tbat drowning persons re
newed their lives in one queer Il
luminating flash before oblivion
wallowed them.
It was like tbat with her at this
Instant.
But It was not ber life that parad
ed before tbe mirror of her memory,
but the wsb of circumstances tbat
had been spun sbout her since tbat
drizzly night in Hollywood when
Frank Grahame had forestalled her
abduction by tbe mad priest of the
Mayan Rain God and his emissary
Don Raoul Ortega.
A vicious plan, and a daring one
surely to attempt with such an
laborate scheme the luring ot a
prominent and wealthy girl into bid
den Jungle fastnesses Just so that
she might nact the death role of
the Daughter of Icb-KIn, the Sun
God. What a sequence of feorror
had this priest of a dead race re
vived In his madness!
TTOGARTH, her director, dead.
McGrath. the advance man,
murdered as were the two camera
men. Greene and the boy Juan
(one.
Frank, too, was gone gone as
surely from her Ufa as was Ortega
wbo had lost his life on the pyramid
top hy the hand of his master. In a
little while she and Langton would
Join them all.
Janice brushed her wrist across
her forehead. Her gesture could not
sweep away the unreality. This was
a dream; no. It was a part she waa
playing on some realistically ap
pointed studio set at home.
She elt that It she listened in
teutly she would be able to hear
ths bum ot traffla on the streets
beyond the lot comforting sounds,
sounds that would assure her of the
proximity ot civilization.
There was a hum undoubtedly.
The noise insistently overbore the
Sat monotone of the altar drum.
Perhaps It existed only In her mind
or else It was the crowd murmur

Ing as bits of Information were
passed between Us individuals.
She was aware that Langton was
talking to her rapidly. Incoherent
ly. She lifted her bead; ber eyes
focused; from out ot that queer
state ot unreality her mind began
to function normally.
Tbe litter supporting tbe high
priest had been carried halfway up
the pyramid's steeply slanting
steps. The Jaguar cage was being
slowly advanced up the slops.
She stumbled a little as ber feet
found tbe first step. Tbe hum, she
realized was tangible. It was louder
a deeply cadenced drone tbat was
curiously familiar.
Then quite suddenly she under
stood l-angton's shouted words.
"It's a plane! Janice, look up!"
She glanced skyward. Her glance
focused on a point above tbe east
era Jungle almost In the eye of ths
rising tun. She saw outspread sil
ver wings; topai Hashed upon ths
fore-shortened body.
The dark lumps of the three
radial motors were silhouetted
sharply. It was approaching wltb
amazing rapidity, slanting in a long
power glide toward the pyramid.
Above tbe growl of Its engines she ,
heard th . o I c e of the ahkln
screaming to his guards.
Sbe saw the body of the column
spread out. The armed guards were
racing in varlotu directions. They
appeared like tiny pawns on a bugs
chessboard.
Some still ran; the nearer ones
knelt, holding their rifles before
them pointing at tbe approaching
airplane.
The rifles began to crack sharply.
Suddenly tbe plane was over ths
square. It zoomed and lifted. ' She
saw a body hang out ot one of the
ports, pointing something thai
looked Ilk a rifle downward, yet
was bulkier than a rifle.
T ANOTON cried out hoarsely,
-J "They have a machine gun!
Why don't they shootT Don't they
realize" Then In the next breath
he shouted with despairing anxiety:
"They cm'tl They don't dare.
The ahkln knew! A fallen body In
tbelr way would wreck a landing!"
Tbe plane made a steep bank over
the western buildings. Back It
roared, tbe wbeels of the landing
gear scant Inches above tbe heads
of the soldiers staggered over the
square.
Langton made an Inarticulate
sound. "God. what flylngl See. they
scatter, but tbey close up again.
Tbey'll never give way long enough
to let the plane down.
"Janlcel We must do somethlngl
Make n break. See. there's an open
space on tbe eastern side. It we
could run tor It . . . divert the guards
. . . ship can land "
He pivoted on bis sound leg.
There was a dull smack as tbe near
er guard ot the six went down.
Janice beard : scream from ths
ahkln drowned by a riot of snarls
of the Jaguars as tbe bearers of the
caged dropped It.
She felt the band of a guard
rougbl) grasp her arm.
She twisted away and flung her
self at a man whose upraised rifle
was poised over the blond bead of
her companion. Again tbe motors
roared overhead. The sound of rifle
Ore grew.
Tbe man she clung to went limp
under a slash from Langton'a flat.
She saw a knife upraised Jn a brown
flat
Langton'a sinewy hand darted out
and twisted It away. A lunging na
tive knocked ber dowu to the steps.
Her wildly roving glance fell upon
a discarded knife a foot from oer
hand.
She snatched It up as Langton
burat through the twisting bodies
of the guarda toward her.
He gaspea, "We can't get awayl
Try to reach the ahkln and"
His sentence ended In a moan as
a clubbed rifle hit him behind the
head. He -'tched toward Janice.
The guard who had struck him
turned his eyes, crszed with excite
ment. toward Janice.
Slowly it seemed almost slow
motion he reversed bis rifle. Tbe
girl knew In that Instant he Intend
ed to shoot herl
She struggled backward up tbe
steps. She was barely conscious
that she bad backed against the
Jaguar cage. Her eara were deaf to
tbe savage growls behind ber.
Tbe rifle was raised still with
tbat Illusion of retarded action. The
native's teeth bared, tbe muscles of
his band tightened over tbe trigger
guard.
A spurt of flame darted from the
mussle.

LUMINOUS NOSE
E
Evr Bine Milady thought -anything
about her personal appearance
the bane of her life haa been a bright
noM. 8he fought it In every con
ceivable manner, and now If ahe
would follow th latent edict of fash
Ion, ahe must right-about-face. Lu
minous nows are the very latest
thing. But the satiny sheen must be
nklllfully applied; the nose Is not Just
left to Itself to acquire the gloss.
The end of powdering Is In sight,
for luminous make-up has made a
spectacular debut. Monday morning
skin apeclallsta will arrive from the
"Dawn of Hollywood" company, who
will introduce the new "Luminous
Dawn" make-up to thla city.
The new luminous make-up con
ceived In Hollywood and dedicated
to the proposition that a luminous
nose la something to be cherished,
consists of ft thin film of a prepara
tion that has a cream base and re
sembles motion picture make-up. Ap
plied In the morning. It remains for
the rest of the day. Its sticking quall
tlea are expected to be a great time
saver to busy atenographers, who In
the past have been In the habit of
taking time out every few minutes to
use the powder puff.
"Luminous Dawn" make-up re
stores the youthful Incandescence to
skin that has begun to take on a
leathery appearance, the demon
strators of the new make-Up declare.
Special representatives from the
Dawn of Hollywood company will
make a personal appearance at Mann's
all week from Monday until Satur
