"Let's go back down h path
a ssfs distance where wa can talk
without being overheard,' Barry
whispered. ' ' j
Without another wad the Utile
group retraced their steps a few
hundred jrards and stopped under
a clump ot tamaracks.
Allison Jumped from th rmde's.
back.
"I feel like a pretrrf!" she whis
pered, stretching her legs and do
ing a routine of bending exer
cises. Barry's face wee a study in
though tfulri ess. Finally he said,;
"I think the next thing is to fol-l
low this trail down and sec if
we can find where they are treat
ing the ore."
Ball opened Ms shirt and dug
into a money belt Presently he
pulled out a crumpled letter and:
handed It to Barry.
"This is the letter the company)
secured from the Guatemalan,
government to the Quiche chief;
asking for his cooperation. It;
should carry some weight If Ij
can ever get to him."
' Barry's face brightened as he1
read the letter. When he finished
he said, "I've got it! The Quiches
have never seen you,' and Tonyi
here speaks enough of their lan
guage to act as your interpreter.
Why don't you and Tony go to
the chief at once and Allison and
I will follow this trail and see;
what we can find out From what1

that these remote mines are being!
worked. He did say that he'd I
been having trouble with some of i
his tribesmen that he knew some
white men were giving them
money breaking the oath ot Chi
chicastenango." "I can't believe that Renaldo
would have any hand in this sort
of thing," Allison said. "He knows
too well what the dangers would
be if the tribe were aroused."
-. "It's hard to believe," ; Barry
agreed. "But Sju told me your-
leelf Benaldo is ambitious."
. "We, of course, have no right
to condemn him -yetl" Allisonj
(said. .
"No, not yet"

ONT-"was busy tightening tte'
cmcnes on me two muies, ga
ting ready for the trek to the
village-of-the-market-plaee.
"How far is It from here to
the Quiche village?" Hall asked
(Tony.
The Indian scratched his black
thatch of hair. "We be there be
fore sundown."
; Hall shook hands with Allison
and Barry and left
! "We can't be far from the
coast," Barry said, smiling apolo
getically. "If you can take it
well push on."
Allison was running a eomb
through her hair. She stopped,
and smiled up at Barry.
"What do you mean if I can j
take it?" j
Barry laid his hands on her
slender shoulders and there was
a twinkle in his gray eyes.
"I guess I shouldn't ever ques
tion your ability to take it after
the way you've come through
hardship down here.". He hesi
tated for a moment and then went
on. "I keep thinking of the girl
I met on the boat in New York.
The girl who had never known
what hardship was."
"That was so long ago," Allison
said in a hushed voice, "that that
Allison seems like a dream to me.
I don't think I ever knew her
Ireally."
Her violet eyes were shining in
the pale light ot early morning.
Barry tightened his grip on her
shoulders and brushed hin linn
llightly over her forehead. He had
a wild desire to crush her in his
; arms, to pour out what was really
iin his heart but his Job wasn't
'done. He couldn't ask a girl to
believe in him until he could
iprove his courage was a match
'for hers. He pulled himself away
from her and said shortly, "Let's
foe getting along."
' Barry insisted that they stop
often to rest and bathe their hands
and faces in the cold cascades of
spring water that suddenly sprang
from rocks to sparkle briefly in
.the sun and run away down the
Islope.
i .me sinning sun was setting
trvi-i,yuMiJB anre wiin HS glow
when the Caribbean finally
loomed below them like a sheet
of colored glass. The air jrrew
warmer as they reached the lrw
lands and the sun had been swal
lowed up by the sea when Barry
suddenly pulled his mule to a
stop. He pointed ahead and spoke
in a low voice. -
'See .those fires rinttm (hero?
That must be where thav trout
tl ore." .

1 A LLTSON'S eyes were taking in
I glowmg through the dusk and rue
I dark forms ot men were moving
in their light
"What do we do now?" Allison
asked.
"Well get as close as we can
and still be sate."
They moved on slowly until
they came to a clump of trees.
Barry stopped and slid from his
mule. Ha motioned Allison to
(follow. Together they watched.
The glow from the fires showed
'the outline of huge clay ovens.
Indians were shoveling in the ore
to be roasted. Others were filling
large earthenware jugs with the
precious quicksilver and sealing
the tops with wax. Two Indians
were hoisting the heavy Jugs onto
a ..two-wheeled cart
"I think HaU was right!" Barry
I whispered. "They are loading the
fishing boats and will probaoly
I wait until late tonight to sail out
to a waiting submarine."
They moved stealthily through
the night skirted around the flat
promontory where the roasting
was being carried on and didn't
stop until they stood in the dark
shadows on the narrow strip ot
beach.
Two-wheel carts were coming
in a steady stream down the slope
and through the sand to the
water's very edge. The heavy
wheels cut deeply into the soft
beach and Quiche drivers urged
the mules on with cracking whips.
A fire burned on the beach to
east an eerie light tor loaders
who were stowing the jars into
boats no larger than dinghies!
Suddenly from out of the black
ness a man in white riding
breeches and boots stepped into
the glow ot the firelight He was
shouting orders to the Indians,
urging them to hurry with their
loading.
Allison's small hand clutched
Barry's arm.
'.Look!'.' -
Barry stiffened. Through hard
clenched teeth he muttered, "Why,
the rat! Renaldo!"
