BARRY FIELDING WIN8
CHAPTER XXX
TARRY was never' to forget that
. . dawn.
. If Rcnaldo got him aboard that
email boat, this would be his last
dawn in a friendly country
his last sight of Allison.
She looked very small and very
dear, crouched beside him on the
log, her pointed chin sunk into
her hand, her eyes brooding over
the shoreline, where a score of In
diana rushed to Rcnaldo's orders.
Her cropped hair was bright,
tousled halo.
Barry felt suddenly, for no rea
son, reckless and happy. "Allison,"
he grinned down at her. "Bo you
mind personal question?"
"Why ask now?" she retorted
morosely. "You've been shooting
them at me for years."
"Are were you in love with
Renaldo?"
She frowned. "The beast," she
cried viciously. Then she con
ildered the question fairly. "No,"
she reported, turning to smile at
Barry. "Thank goodness I wasn't.
But I did think he was romantic
and handsome and very nice. I
was a moron."
Barry felt happier and more
reckless. "You wouldn't fall in
love with me, would you?" he
hazarded.
"I certainly would not," she
(napped. "Not if I had the choice.
You're too stubborn." She kicked
her boot into the sand at her feet
angrily. "Of course I didn't have
the choice," she added under her
breath. "I was in love with you
one deep breath after I met you
as any fool could plainly see."
"I couldn't," said Barry.
"But," she flared, "I'm not with
out a certain code of honor even
in Jttie jungle. As soon as I get
you out of this going-away-on-that-boat
business, I'm sending
you back to Lila."
' "That's big of you," Barry
grinned, "but It'll be hard. Iila
started for Puerto Barrios this
morning."
mHE Quiche guard's stolid gaze
- faltered as he watched his pris
oners kiss. He had thought the
white woman belonged to the
Spaniard. With sigh of relief,
he noted that Renaldo himself was
striding towards them from the
beach.-
"The quicksilver is aboard," he
said shortly. "The boat will leave
shortly after sunset. There is no
point in our staying here longer."
He looked at Allison.
She said quickly, "I wont go
back with you."
- The Spaniard's face was set, but
the cords in his neck swelled.
VYou won't go with him," he re
torted. Then his voice grew cool
ly formal. "You have everything
,, to lose and nothing to gain by
resisting, Miss Topping. I drew
up your father's will. In case of
your death, I inherit the planta-
. ton."
"Bay, "what you couldn't have
done in Chicago," Barry murmur
ed sarcastically.
; "Some day," Renaldo's voice
softened as his dark gaze fixed on
. Allison, "we will be rulers of this
: country, rybu and I. Then you
will' thank roe." He ordered the
Indian to slash the rope that tied
Allison's and Barry's wrists to
gether, - Allison glowered at him through
clenched teeth. "I can see myself
thanking you," she said.
As the Indian's knife severed
the rope, with an expert flick,
Barry's memory flashed backward.
' He turned to Renaldo, his eyes
gleaming with suspicion.
"You said you hadn't seen Hall,"
be said. "But you had. You kept
him from getting to the Moncha
Suma and this private graft of
yours. And you sent Indians up
the coast to stop any more in
truders hound for Quiche country,
didn't you?"
"That Indian who attacked you
on the boat at Santiago!" cried
Allison, aghast.
' The thin smUe that played over
Renaldo's thin lips was crafty. He
shrugged. "I am resourceful when
my interests are jeopardized," he
murmured. He nodded to the In
dian beside them. "Take the pris
oner to the boat."
"No!" Allison's cry rang out
furious and desperate.
But before the Indian had
reached Barry, Renaldo's voice
cracked out again. Its swagger
ing smoothness was abruptly gone.
There was a sharp note of anxiety
in it.
"You found Hall at the hidden
shack? Where is he now?"
Barry grinned mockingly.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" he
taunted.
A dark shadow of fear crossed
Renaldo's face. "He went to Mon
cha Suma!" Turning with nervous
haste, he gave an Indian call.
.......
"THE Quiche Indians at the beach
A started toward them at a trot.
The jutting promontory cut them
from view momentarily. When
they did not come around it, Re
naldo called again.
His voice echoed back from the
cliff. '
After several minutes, he slid
his gun from his holster and
waved Barry and Allison before
him. The four of them walked
along the shoreline through the
brilliant mist of the sunrise air.
They rounded the promontory
with breathless curiosity.
Before them in the narrow ra
vine that wound down to the sea
was a weird tableau!
A hundred feet in front of a
huddled group of mules, Moncha
Suma stood tall and thunderous!
Only Hall and Tony were beside
him. But before him flat on
their faces In the damp sand
were Renaldo's Quiche workers!
. "Get up!" Rcnaldo's command
brought the dazed Quiches auto-
mallcaLly to their feet. "Fifty
silver pesos for bringing the Mon
cha Suma to me!" he cried.
Allison moaned. Hall was glow
ering but weaponless. Tony's hand
was on his knife but he looked
hopelessly outnumbered by the
score of Quiches. There was only
one weapon among the throe. That
weapon was Moncha Suma's black
eyes.
They bored Into the oncoming
line of rebel Quiches like fiery,
flashing arrows. The line faltered.
"Go on!" Renaldo shouted.
"He'll kill you if you don't!"
The relentless fire of the chief's
eyes blazed more hypnotically.
His voice rang out in the strained
silence in a mesmeric icy mono
tone. "You are dead men now.
You have broken the oath of
Chichicastenango."
"That's rubbish," Renaldo
shouted. "Go on! Go on!"
The Quiche rebels staggered on '
for several paces, like men be-
witched. Then, despite Renaldo's i
angry commands, they stumbled j
one by one, and dropped into the i
sand, bodies twitching, hps mov
ing. Renaldo cursed them bitterly,
then lapsed into silence.
Barry glanced back in quick ap
prehension. He saw the Span
iard's gun turning slowly from
him toward Moncha Suma. There
was no time for warning. He
leaped back!
Allison's scream rang above the
gun'? report.
TTAT.l and Barry were kneeling,
tying the last knot in the rope
binding Renaldo's wrists when Al-
hson s tear-stained cheek pressed
for a moment against Barry's.
"Hurry," she whispered. "Tony
and I think Moncha Suma is half
inclined to slip you a few quick
silver mines for saving his life."
' Ttnrrv nva her aaulcTc kiss.
"You're trembling," he grinned.
"In fact, you're beginning to cryl
The deal must De set-
As the tropic sun broke over
the horizon, they went dsck to
gether to Moncha Suma.
TUB END
An excellent balance has been
maintained between risk and de
sirable objectives. Everyone has I
a right to take some measure of
pride in what has been achieved.
