TRIBAL SACRIFICE
CHAPTER XV
AS the days passed and the fever
hung on, Barry was half wild
with impatience. For hours days
sometimes he would think it had
run its course, only to be shaken
with the cold chill that preceded
another attack.
Benaldo had warned him of this
that same afternoon Allison had
read him Lila's letter. The Span
iard had knocked and come in,
looking taller and handsomer in
his fresh whites than Barry re
membered him. He had towered
over the bed, with his swift, en
' gaging smile.
"You really picked yourself a
stalwart mosquito, my friend."
"I'll throw it off," Barry said
Irritably.
"You will, but It will be slow
going."
Allison brought his medicine,
holding up his head and tossing
the tablets onto his tongue with
deft motions. Barry gulped the
water she held to his lips, and
smiled his thanks.
"You were right about Allison,"
he said to Renaldo with amused
camaraderie.
"Right about what?" Allison
was gathering up tray and glasses
for the servant to take out.
"We bet, Renaldo and I," Barry
told her lazily, feeling all at once
easy and comfortable, "on wheth
er you'd make the trip."
"And how did you bet?" She
paused beside him, her lashes al
, most touching her cheeks as she
looked down into his face.
"I bet you wouldn't," Barry told
her.
"Which proves," she laughed,
"that Renaldo understands me
better than you do."
"Oh, but it wasn't quite fair,"
Benaldo protested gallantly. "Be
cause I knew your father. Mr.
' Fielding didn't I gambled you
had the jungle in your blood like
he did. And I'm afraid you have."
He turned to follow her with
his eyes as she walked to the hall
and handed over the tray to the
j Indian woman. Barry watched him
" in deepening surprise. He realized
- abruptly that Allison was not the
only one who had changed during
his absence. Renaldo, too, was dif
ferent. Gone was the stern, quiet
. almost condescending command
in the Spaniard's manner. A
subtle warmth had crept in, a
tentative friendliness. He had
used the same phrase that night
, on the trek he feared the girl
'." had the jungle in her blood but
' "wlrere-tffere tad been apprehen
siotvantagoiHsm in his voice that
night,. now there was something
' almost like pride. And in his dark
: eyes . '
"DARRY ".controlled a sharp rising
irritation. Why shouldn't the
handsome Renaldo fall.for a girl
wee Allison lopping; fane was
warm and vivid and delicate. Her
blondeness was a perfect foil for
the Spaniard's dark good looks.
And if she really wanted to stay
here ... He roused at Benaldo's
laugh.
"You are looking very unhappy.
!my friend. I am sorry about your
top."
Barry's anger swept into an
other current
"Sorry is no name for it!" he
exploded. "I want to talk to you
labout it. Of all the dirty, double
crossing deals I ever ran Into !"
Allison was standing beside Re
naldo again. "May I hear it, too?"
she asked.
Barry hesitated. Then be said
bluntly, "Sure. It's no worse than
a Gossip Column."
Allison and Renaldo pulled chairs
close to the bed while Barry
talked. He told them in painstak
ing detail every step of the trip.
The meeting with the chief, his
cordial hospitality, his aDDarentlv
'sympathetic hearing of all Barry
lhad to say, his honest indecision
in the matter of revealing the
mines. Turning to Renaldo, he
.added:
"Your letter to him seemed to
make him our friend. He said a
lot of complimentary things about
you." .
Benaldo nodded thouehtfullv.
"He's a great old fellow."
Barry grimaced with rueful hu
mor. "But you should have seen
him that night at the trial. He
couldn't have been anv colder if
he'd been molded out of liquid
air." He told them then of his
rude awakening by the angry na
tives, 01 me weira, frightful judg
ment scene in the chief's tent and
of the death sentence of the girl.
Finally of their imprisonment and
' escape.
' Allison shuddered. "How per
fectly ghastly! But the girl won't
die, will she?"
'
TJENALDO looked serious. "I
1 wouldn't be surprised."
"But why," Allison cried, "would
anyone want to frame Barry?
Some Quiche, nerhnns. with crime-
thing against the girl or her fam-
"Perhaps," Benaldo said slowly,
"but I don't think so. The Quiches
aro a united and peaceful tribe
within themselves. I'm afraid it
is even more serious than that."

Kcnaldo paused at the foot of
the bed, flashing Allison a sym
pathetic half smile. His dark eyes
were brooding and sorrowful.
"For a number of years now," he
began slowly, "the chief and I
have been as close friends as a
Quiche ever is with an outsider.
I admire him. I am fond of him.
That is why I know he is filled
with a great anxiety."
Barry watched the Spaniard,
fascinated. There was power in
those black eyes. Small wonder
he had gained the fear and respect
of the Quiches as well as the In
dians on the Topping plantation,
he thought
"Each month or so," Renaldo
went on, "when the Quiches bring
their clay jugs of quicksilver
down to the coast to trade for
bananas and salt they have been
buying more and more other
things bright ornaments, some- ;
times dresses or suits nom um
trading post, mingling more with
other tribes, carrying back their
stories. The chief has teen strug
gling against this tendency. It is
his duty to see this slow infiltra
tion of foreign ideas does not be
tray their precious isolation. I
have felt during our last meet
ings, he was growing desperate
over the situation, unable to stem
the tide of his people's interests
in the outside world."
Barry gasped. "You don't think
the chief framed me!"
Benaldo's eyes were fixed on
him, compassion in their black
depths. "The chief is a smart
man," he said simply. "Can you
think of a better way to impress
his people with the danger of out
siders? The sacrifice of one of the
tribe's most beautiful maidens has
often been the shock which taught
them the error of their ways."
The logic of Renaldo's reason
ing appalled Barry. "In that case,"
he said hopelessly, "is there noth
ing I can do?"
Benaldo released a long breath.

maill MABY'S LITTLE LAMB
ON A BABY QUILT
7539
by Alice Brook
A chubby lamb framed with
flowers makes an engaging cen
ter for this quilted crib or car
riage cover. This quilting is just
running stitch with an occasional
back stitch, both worked through
the top, the padding and lining.
Pattern 7539 contains a transfer
pattern of a 15 x 17 inch and
four 4 x 6i inch motifs; mater
ials needed; stitches.
To obtain tms pattern send 11
cents in coin to The Herald and
News, Household Arts Dept.,
Klamath Falls. Do not send this
picture, but keep it and the num
ber for reference. Bo sure to
wrap coin securely, as a looso
coin often slips out of the envel
ope. Requests for patterns
should read, "Send pattern No.
. , to followed by
your name and address.
ON THE LOOSE
ST. CHARLES, 111., (IV) An
empty coal car and a loaded box
car ran away from a freight
train, outdistanced it for two
miles and then left the railroad
tracks and stopped in front o
Police Magistrate Harold Olson's
office.
The freight train had bumped
the cars as workmen attempted
to couple them to the train. But
the two cars were not coupled
and rolled Into St. Charles from
Geneva, the train in pursuit. At
the end of the switch track, the
cars broke through a barricade,
continued on across (he street,
sweeping two automobiles along
with them, and came to a stop
at Olson's office. No one was
hurt.
Labor must not repeat .the
mistakes of arrogant capitalism,
which forged the shackles that
now restrict Us every move.
