She saw an expression of stupid dismay In the face of the rifleman Hla gun-barrel dropped. Sbe shrank against the cage In time to avoid the falling figure of the little bearer who bad atopped the bullet She saw brown arms striving to reach the flopping limp ness tbat v as the body of the para lysed high-priest To ateady herself she put up the hand that held the knife. It came In contact with the 'bongs tying the cage gate. A sudden desperate thought swept her mind. At any cost the area of the great square must be cleared for the landing of the planel Her knife slashed at the thongs, the keen steel sliced through the leather as through grease. She was aware of snarling Jaws, of yellow yes wild with hate and frenzy. The gate slammed back upon her. Tawny black-spotted bodies soared above as ahe stumbled down the steps. Sbe heard a deep-voiced scream. The multitude knew the cats were loose! She was sobbing. Scarcely con- sclous now, she tugged at the limp body of Langton, hoping to drag him to the cage that now offered protection from the Jaguars only from within. The figures were run ning everywhere. Suddenly the mo tors ceased their roaring. She beard vicious, stadcato bursts, like short volleys from grouped rifles. T'HERE was a crescendo of shout- Ing scattered rifle fire, then more bursts from the machine gun. . . , Strong arms gripped her about the waist; she struggled futllely twisting away to reach the knife she had dropped to assist her com panion. But with the arms came a voice, a voice that drew the strength from her and left her sobbing weak ly. "Janice . . . dearest. , , , It's I Frank. Dear " ' The arms lifted ber to her feet She burled her face In the stained and ragged shirt Long, blissful eons later, 11 seemed, she withdrew. She smiled uncertainly and blinked away ber tears. "Frank . . , dear. Look to Billy He was hurt " "I'm all right," came. Langton's voice at their feet weak but un doubtedly Langton's. "I ... I was Just resting." "You dam' clown," muttered Frank, a curious softness in his voice. "You're as bad as Greene. . . . Here he Is now." Mr. Horatio Qreene. pross-agent extraordinary, was approaching with his ambling gait. He carried a monstrous pistol In one hand monstrous In relation to the site of the little warrior and over the oth er a gold, turquoise studded collar. "Got It off one of the leopards," he explained. "Jaguars, Greene, not leopards, mlled Grahnme. "Jaguars or leopards they won't need these any more." He lifted the collar. "It's the one souvenir I'm going to take home from this" Suddenly he broke off His eyes widened: slowly the color drained from bis face. He moistened his Hps and gently expelled his breath. Frank put his arm about Janice's waist and firmly drew her against him. "Don't look, dear. It ... it Isn't" "Whew!" exclaimed Greene, draw ing hla forearm across his forehead. "Did you see what they did to the hlgh-prlest " Suddenly catching Frank's eye, he hesitated. He mumbled: "Those leopards Jaguars, I mean wouldn't make loving house pets. I'll . . . I'll Just take the collar, thank you. Come along folks, Spin's war lng to us from the ship. You, Lang ton I guess you're Langton can you make It? "Fine. I'll give you a hand. We've gone to a lot of trouble about you, and we can't alow down now. You're, probably the best copy of tbe lot of us, and wnen Horatio Greene says you're good copy. ..." THE slanting rays of the afternoon sun flashed through the open ports. Despite the altitude It was warm wltbin the plane once they had lifted above the zone ot rain clouds. The cabin echoed with the drone of tbe motors and lurched In the bumpy air. Langton was In the master-pilot's seat delighted aa a child with an old, familiar toy. Spin Wlnslow loafed next to blm, behind tbe dual controls, yawning between spells of dozing. Three young men squatted In the rear ot tbe cabin muttering a strange Jargon. One wore an over seas cap wltb a tarnished Insignia. The cap looked somewhat moth eaten. They seemed very, very absorbed with the antics ot two small red cubes wltb white dots on the sides. Juan was wltb them, and Greene was nearby Indulging in bis favor ite occupation: talking. In a pair of seats halfway between the crap shooters and the pilots were Janice ar.d Frank. They did very little else than to look at each other, smiling occasionally. ". . . then, when Spin got our mes sage " Greene apparently did not think It worthwhile to addross any one In particular "he picked up three young hoodlums he knew, ar ranged tor thla bus. got a machine gun, swallowed bla lousy disposi tion a record ot some kind, a veri table Ripley, in fact and in three hops, total elapsed time less than twenty-four hours, landed on the beach back there on the coast We met him there. Wo took off Just before dawn. Not seeing Janice and Billy at the valley, we kept on to the city of the pyramid. We ar rived Just In time. We couldn't land until Janice let the leopards, 1 mean tigers, loose. . . . She did a good Job there ... so we" Spin Wlnslow, strolling back, asked In a loud voice If Greene had ever heard tbe story of the half- smoked stump of the Corona-Corona' perfoct cigar and the wad of chew ing tobacco that were floating aide by side down the Mississippi. "No," replied Groene testily. "What's that got to do" The three young men at the crap game lookod up grinning. Well," answered Spin gravely. "the wad of chewing tobacco asked the porfecto, 'How far are we from New Orleans?' The porfocto replied, with an expression of distaste on Its urn. gold band, 'Listen, Dunk: I'm too hundred miles from New Orleans. Where do you get that we stuff!' " Frank chuckled at the discom fited look on Groene's face. The crnp game continued. Finally Ja nice loaned toward Frank. 'You won't , , . you won't go away again, ever?" she whispered. The burnt child fears-" he be gan, but the tendernesa In his eyes belled the Implication of his word. Janice wrinkled her noso. "You can take It," she quotod colloquial ly. "It was those dorn dishes." "Dishes?" "You mentioned our doing the dishes," she stated firmly. "I hate em." "Not even If I holp?" "Well," ahe replied consideringly. Probably there's some dishwash ing that has componsalon." She lookod up at him wlnnlngly. Her voice was honoy-awoct with propi tiation. "But If we do camp out from time to time Id one of youi Jungles, we'll have Juan along, won't we?" Her eyca coaxed. "And." shs concluded brightly, "he can help too." Frank laughed and nodded. Oreeno, sotto voce to Wlnslow, said, "And that meana. Spin, that the big palooka and Juan will wash and wipe the dishes between them." The little man sighed. "And thai meana that when we get back tc Hollywood tomorrow t hunt me an other Job." "Another Job?" queried Spin ske tlcally. "Why don't you go to wori for a change, you bum!" (CtfyTifH, I9S4, h Hntirt Imn) THE END E Cherry trcs showing sign of bac terial gummosla cankers may be given at this time the copper nitrate treatment, according to the advice of County Agent L. P. Wilcox. Bacterial gumtnosls Is a aertous disease causing gum cankers on 'trunks, main branches and spurs of alt the common varieties of the sweet cherry. In severe cases young trees may be killed outright. The copper nitrate method of treatment as worked out by the Cal ifornia experiment station is the best known control and Is therefor rec ommended to Jack-in county cherry growers. At this time of season gummosls cankers may be easily located be cause of their dark colored bark tis sue, somewhat sunken and near a gum area. Such cankers when found should bo given the following treat ment. Make numerous longitudinal cuts with the grain of the wood, cuts to be through the bark and Into the sap wood. Extend the cuts some eight to ten Inches above and be low the diseased area. Space the cuts about one inch apart and make suf flcent number around the branch so that healthy tissue Is encountered on the sides. After preparing the canker in this manner, mop the en tire area with copper nitrate solu tion, being sure that the liquid pen etrates well Into the many silts. A RESIDENT PASSES TABLE ROCK, March 13.
