CHAPTER XIII
fONCERN shadowed Jose's dark
" face. "Malaria!" he echoed
dismayed.
1 Even before Barry's short laugh
of self-disgust ended, his knees
buckled under him. Jose caught
him and helped him to a seat
against the trunk of a giant tama
rack. "Stay here," he commanded.
"I will find you bed."
. Jose strode off, to return soon
with his arms piled with fragrant
pine needles. On the floor of a
shallow cave in the rock ledge by
the waterfall he spread them, then
came back for Barry.
Barry was pulling a box from
his coat pocket- Be handed it to
Jose with trembling hands. "Good
thing they weren't left in sad
dle bags," he grinned unsteadily.
Jose opened the box to frown
In perplexity at the unfamiliar
tablets. "But these axe sot qui
nine," he objected.
"Atabrine," Barry told him with
effort "Give them . to me ...
instructions ... on box."
Jose shook his head. "You
' should have quinine," he mourned.
Apprehension rang wamingly
through Barry's 'blurring senses.
It would be typical of a jungle
man like Jose to throw away the
medicine because it was different
He realized it would soon be too
late to do anything about it Al
ready his mind was wandering
under the heat of his fever. He
forced himself to concentrate on
the problem. He tried to fix his
glazing eyes on the powerful man
kneeling beside him.
"Jose!"
. "Si, senor."
"Those tablets. They are better
than quinine. Do you hear me?"
"Si." But the man's voice was
still mournful and unbelieving.
"Do you promise on your word
of honor to give me the tablets
two each hour?"
For a long minute Jose didn't
answer. Then, just as Barry's
whirling senses told him he had
failed, he beard the man's mum
bled, "Si, senor." Believed, he
collapsed against Jose's arm.
CLOWLY, he floated back to con-
sdousness, began to realize
some of his hallucinations were
tacts. The sound of cascading wa
ter continued after he opened his
eyes. And another fainter sound
- l-7-wind sighing through trees. He
felt soothed and peaceful, though
be could see almost nothing in the
dim light about him. He raised
himself on an elbow and his head
struck against the top of the cave.
Dimly he recalled the trip Jose.
Be crawled from the cave and
got to his feet His head whirled
and he leaned against the rock
ledge for support, while be looked
about him.
It was a dazzling morning. Sun
sparkled on the cascading water
at the cliffs edge, and lay molten
over, the rocky ledges and dark
trees of the mountainside. Evi
dences of Jose's vigilance were all
about. Tamarack branches had
been laid over the entrance to the
cave. The remains of a fire still
smoldered on the rock ledge.
Roughly hewn wooden cups
dried in the sun. As he watched,
the huge figure of Jose, himself,
strode out of the forest of pines,
game slung over his shoulder.
At sight of Barry, he waved an
arm and hurried to join him.
"You feel : better!" he smiled
. warmly.
."Thanks to you, Jose," Barry
muttered, returning the smile.
. "You gave me the medicine, eh?"
Jose pulled the small box from
his pocket and showed Barry it
was almost empty. "It is good
medicine like you say," he ac
knowledged. "Each two hours I
make you take like you say. So
I cannot go back to plantation and
1 tell where we are."
"How long have we been here?"
Barry demanded.
The Mexican counted on his
stubby fingers. "Five days," he
said.
Barry moaned. "How have you
lived all that time?"
Jose swung the animals he had
killed from his shoulder. Two red
. squirrels! "Very good," he said
. simply. He took a folding tin cup
from his pocket and opened it
proudly. "I make broth for you
in this," he added.
As Jose gathered brush for a
fire, Barry asked, "What about the
Quiches? Did they follow us?"
Jose knelt to blow on the small
flame. "They did not find us," he
said. "We are very fortunate."
. When the flame swept through
the twigs, he took the two squir
rels and went to kneel at the
water's edge with a murderous
looking hunting knife.
"IH have to go back," Barry
worried aloud. "You will go with
me, won't you, Jc? I have to
prove to that chief I was framed.
, I've got to get those mines!"
...
JOSE listened impassively as he
' " skinned and cleaned the squir
rels. He cut a small chunk of
meat and dropped it into the
water-filled cup. "We eat," he
aaid stolidly. "Then we try to make
plantation before you feel sick
again. You need more good medi
cine before you go back any
, where."
Barry's head was beginning to
ache again. His body felt stiff and
weak. Jose gave him the last two
atabrine tablets, and later a cup
of the steaming broth. Then ho
stretched out on the soft, fragrant
bed of pine needles.

Barry marveled at the patience
and gentleness of the big Mexi
can. The man had saved his lifo
all right He was lucky to hnvo
had such a guide. If he had only
been as lucky with the Quiches,
he thought bitterly.
fHROUGH half closed eyes he
watched the Mexican as he
made neat rolls of their blankets,
led the mules up from the thicket
where they had been tied to
graze, took brushes and stroked
their gray coats until they shone
in the sunlight.
Barry 'dozed off then and must
have slept for several hours.
When he awakened the sun was
low and the pine trees were cast
ing long shadows up the slope.
Jose was sitting by the campdra
fixing some moro broth. Barry
felt cool now and refreshed.
Jose turned as he beard his
voice.
"I feel much belter, Jose," ho
said. "Maybe tonight we could go
back to the Quiche country." j
Jose looked grim and shook his ;
head.
"No, senor, that would be folly. ;
"But I must clear myself with
them!"
"This is not the time," Jose said
quietly. "You feel better now be
cause of the medicine you have
taken. Later when that wears off
you might feel worse again. This
fever is very bad stuff. We can
not take chances of your getting
sick again out here."
'But you said tonight we could
travel again!"
"Si, senor, we travel, but not to
the Quiches. We go back to the
plantation where you can rest
from your sickness."
Barry felt a tide of keen dis
appointment surge through him as
he thought of delaying his busi
ness with the Quiches.
"You rest now until the moon
comes out" Jose said. "Then I
give you more broth and we will
start"
