DARK JUNGLES'
BY JOHN C. FLEMING & LOIS EBY .SifMiSr

.HAPTER XXV
TpOR a long minute after ha
. opened his heavy eyci Barry
tould not think whei-e he was,
His groping consciousness told
. him It must be the Jungle. Yet
It wasn't. The swaying branches
and vines above him were shad
ows on the gray of a ceiling. A
dull alarm echoed through him,
a sharp presentiment of disap-
pqintmont, Ho was not on nis
way through the jungle. ...
- lie raised his head and found
hn was in his bed In the estancia.
A pool of yellow, sunshine lay
on the floor before me winaow.
And at the edge of it, Lila was
sitting In a low chair. She rose
and came over quickly,
"How do you feel?"
There was a look of sharp con
cern, almost irritation, in her dark
eyes as - sne bent over nun.
Barry groaned. "How'd I
get
back here?" he complained,
"Tony nrougnt you."
He cursed silently.
She gave him a quick and sym
pathetic half smile. "I know,"
she said. "It is maddening to have
one's plans upset"
His watch told him It was al
ready 3 o'clock. Sounds of activ
ity In the clearing were drifting
In through the window. Barry
raised himself on an elbow and
looked out, even as he asked,
"What's going on out there?"
He could see for himself. A
dozen Indians were packing the
blocks of chicle into waterproof
bags and fastening them securely
to the sides of the small pack
mules.
Barry watched the scene with
satisfaction, thinking with respect
of the hours of dangerous and
difficult labor that had gone into
the blocks of chicle, ;-
"So the . chicle pack train Is
Teally leaving for Puerto Bar
tios!" :..-.- ; .
Lila came back Into the room
' with his coffee. He saw now that
her black hair was done high on
her head. Her white sheer, dress,
the yellow flower in the coils of
her hair carried a freshness into
the room. She propped his pil
lows expertly and fixed his nap
kin.
"Since you couldn't make file
trip into the Quiche country," she
said softly, "how about resting
today and going with me on the
mule train? A boat leaves Puerto
Barrios for New York next week."
; ... . .
BARRY sipped his coffee slowly.
. , He felt weak, but well. Th
'fever had run its course again.
He said with relief, "No. I'm all
right 111 be able to start again
tomorrow morning. Allison was
right I had no business to try
tt yesterday." :.
i She had moved to the window
and was watching the loading.
."Did it ever occur to you," she
asked. In her low voice, "that the
company might prefer your com
ing home and sending a new man
down here?" t
' "Sure, it has," Barry shrugged.
."But I'm sending my reports on
the boat And the next guy
couldn't do much if I don't get
straightened, around with Moncha
Buma." . '. 1
She gave a cry "of exasperation.
"Moncha Sumal I've heard noth
ing but Moncha Suma ever since
I arrived! Can't you ever think
of anyone else?" She crossed to
his bed and sank down on the
edge of it her eyes somber dark
pools. "Me, for instance?" j
. He grinned a little sheepishly.
"It's not that I love the old boy
more than you, sweetheart It's
just that it's more important to
the war effort right now that he
loves me than that ypu do." 1
i "I see. I'm just another war
widow."'
' "Well, you're not alone there,"
Barry consoled humorously.
Anger smoldered suddenly in
her dark eyes, tightened her lips.
"Alone or not," she burst out, "I
don't like it" She rose and faced
him in open fury. "And war effort
or not I don't think you've been
neglecting Allison Topping!"
; Barry regarded the furious gir
with dismay. "Oh, come on now,
ILila," he rebuked. "That's not
Icricket. I admit Allison did go
:out :f her way that first night
on the boat to put on a predatory
act for you. But she's not thai
Itype at all."
j "Really?" . Lila laughed icily.
l"Since , when did you learn so
, pnuch about women?"
"You've been here a couple of
weeks now," Barry argued.
;"Couldn't you see she's all
wrapped up in this plantation?
And there's Renaldo "
'"Can't you see," retorted Lila
with bitter scorn, "that she's using
them both as bait for you? The
plantation to- show you how
-;smart she is Renaldo to make
lyou jealous."
. ..', -: .
'fgARRY'S dismay broke! Into a
shouting laugh. "You- really
Waiter a manl Allison's a little
'dizzy, but not that dizzy! She't
got a real business here and she't
running it" I :
"I . see." Llla's voice' dripped
Bitter sarcasm. "Well, the Quiche
chief is not her business. If she
Isn't trying to Impress you, then
why did she have to act the hero
ine and rush off last' night with
Tony for your rendezvous?" , : :
Barry's .chuckles died slowly.
He stared at his fiancee in be
wilderment "You mean Allison
started off to answer Moncha
Suma's summons?"
' Lila nodded.
"My Oodl" Barry cried wildly. I
, "Why didn't you stop herl"
"I tried hard enough," Lila said
bprtjy. "She seemed to think 1
the knew all about your business
and could talk the chief around
as well as you could."
A reluctant grin broke over
Barry s concerned face. "Why,
the plucky little devil," he said.
"I did tell her a lot about the
stuff when she typed my reports.
And, knowing how important the
thing was "
He swung out of bed and into
robe and slippers. "But she might
get into a whale of a mess. Have
them get a mule ready, will you,
Lila?"
Lila's voice stopped him. It was
strident and harsh. "Can't you
see she just wanted you to come
after her and rescue her?"
Barry was gathering up clothes
and starting for the shower. "This
isn't the time for jokes, darling.
That girl is in real danger."
But Lila blocked his way. "And
I tell you she's not!" she cried,
her anger burning through her.
"I know!"
"How do you know?" Barry
scoffed.
"Because Renaldo's men have
stopped her thinking it was
you."
She looked frightened then as
'she realized what she had told
him, but her rage mounted above
her fear. "All right!" she
screamed. "I did arrange with
Renaldo to have you stopped and
discouraged by some Quiche In
dian friends of his. It was one
of them who brought the note.
This whole business of yours here
is too ridiculous! You don't be
long down here. 1 love you and 1
want to take care of you!" I
"I don't like to be taken care i
of by trickery," Barry said I
steadily-
"All right," Lila said. "Stay i
down and be killed if you want! j
But I'm not going to worry my i
heart out!" She stripped his ring
from her finger and flung it at i
;him.

swept out of his room, slamming
