4CW7HAT now?" Allison whis
pered. "We'll hT to figure out ome
wit to keep those boats from
utUngt If Renaldo Is selling this
tuff to the axis that will be one
load of vital material they'll never
getl"
"But we donl dare reveal our
selves," Allison said quietly.
"We're outnumbered ten to one
and Renaldo wouldn't stop at
anything now!"
"If there were only some way
we could divert their attention for
few hours, maybe Hall would
, thrive with help." Barry's eyes
swept up and down the dark
coastline. Finally he turned to
Allison. "I'vb got an Idea!"
Ha quickly tied the mules to
some low scrubby bushes and took
Allison's hand. Carefully they
crept along through the brush.
Once dry twig snapped under
Barry's foot They stopped breath
ing for an instant as they saw
Renaldo shade his eyes and peer
in their direction. He must havt
been satisfied It was only an ani
mal as he went back to his shout
ing at the Indians.
When they had gotten a good
distance away Barry stopped.
There's only one thing to do,"
be said. "This brush is dry as
powder. We'll set fire to it and
scram. The wind Is from the sea
and it'll keep Renaldo's Indians
plenty busy for a while."
OARRT took a waterproof metal
matchbox from his coat
pocket A tiny flame flared as he
held it close to a dry bush. An
Instant later great flames leaped
skyward and crackled like a thou
sand tiny pistols.
Barry, Allison's hand clutched
b his, was running wildly up the
slope. The wind was whipping the
Are to the north as they cut back,
away from the interna When
they got a safe distance from the
blaze they stopped. They were
both gasping for breath. From
he raised ground they could see
the Indians running along the
beach In the direction of the fire.
They were hacking down saplings
with their machetes. Some were
t -y i .1 i:t.i
hungry flames.
"What If they can't stop the
fire!" Allison said breathlessly.
"It will stop at the canyon over
the next hill," Barry reassured
her. "They will be afraid it will
bring the coast guard."
Barry slipped oft his coat and
spread it on the sandy ground.
''What happens next?" Allison
said.
"Next you're going to get some
sleep."
"A swell time to expect anyone
to sleep."
"As tired as you are now you
could sleep In the middle of 42nd
Street with the traffic zooming
around you."
"How about you? I suppose
rou feel fresh as a daisy?"
"I feel ell right," Barry lied.
"This fire will keep them busy for
at least three or four hours. I'll
stand watch and as soon as I see
that they have it under control
we'll move back from the coast
and rest until night It'll be dawn
by the time they get that fire
under control. They won't try to
take those boats out until dark
ness sets in."
Allison was too tired to argue.
She stretched out on the soft aand,
still warm from the heat of the
. sun, and within five minutes was
sleeping peacefully.
Barry sat on the ground, his
yes watching the red line of
flames as they swept northward
along the beach. They lighted the
soft tropical sky with a pale, yel
lowish glow.
The warm night air, the even
pounding of the surf, the song of
. the wind, the distant crackling of
the fire. . . . Barry felt himself
getting drowsy again. He meant
to get up but this time fatigue
won out He was suddenly asleep.
He had slept for several hours
when he first heard the sound of
voices. He opened his eyes slowly,
like a man waking from a trou
bled dream. He saw first the feet
and legs, then his eyes traveled
up to the dark faces of a dozen
mumbling Indians that stood in a
circle around him. He sat up,
rubbing his eyes, and looked over
at Allison. She was still asleep.
Sawn was breaking.
He heard footsteps running In
the sand. A man broke through
the circle of Indians and looked
grimly down at him. Renaldo's
face twisted into a grim leer.
"Sticking your nose In where It
doesn't belongl" he said bitterly.
Then he noticed Allison. Dismay
showed plainly on his handsome,
dark face.
. "How'd she get here?"
- "You thought she was safely
locked up in the mountain estan
cla?" Barry said sharply.
"I thought she was back at the
plantation!"
"I see," Barry sola. "It was me
your Indians were to have am
bushed but I didn't go. Allison
' went insteadl"

flared out
ALLISON woke up, startled. A
frightened cry escaped her.
"Don't worry, Miss Topping,"
Renaldo snid quietly. "Nothing is
going to happen to you unless
you bring it on yourself."
For the moment Allison was so
stunned she couldn't answer. She
was trying desperately to gather
her wits.
"Smart trick of yours to start
that fire," Renaldo said. "Only it
won't do you any good. Tonight
when the fishing boats go out
you'll be aboard, Fielding. What
happens to you from then on will
be somebody else's problem.
You've just delayed us one night."
He turned to Allison and smiled.
All the sharpness had fled from
his voice.
"Tomorrow I will take you back
to the plantation," he said. "I'm
sure you're a smart girl and won't
cause any trouble. It would really
be so useless for you to do any
thing now except what I tell you."
Renaldo slid his automatic from
the holster. Barry's hand shot to
his side but it fell away again as
he found his gun had been taken.
Allison Jumped to her feet and
started toward Renaldo, her eyes
blazing.
"Why you dirty!"
Renaldo caught her wrist and
twisted it until she winced.
"Now don't be difficult, my
sweet, it will only cause you trou
ble." Renaldo turned to an Indian
and said something in Quiche. Im
mediately the Indian took short
pieces of rope and bound first
Barry's wrists, then Allison's. The
Indians led them away down the
slope to the beach. They walked
for a quarter mile to a clump of
trees. The Indian grunted, nod
