 He caught the vague outlines of a long body. crouched five or six yards away. on the far side of the hollow He sprang back. his club brandished to strike. But the expected attack did not follow. Blake glanced about as though considering the advisability of a retreat. Winthrope and Miss Leslie were staring at him, white-faced. The sight of their terror seemed to spur him to daredevil brayado: though his actions may rather have been due to inc fact that he realized the futility Of Aisht and so rose to the requirements of the situation--the grim need to stand and face the danger

But many of their small companions had been killed and partly destroyed by the heat and flames from the burning brush. In places the fire was yet smouldering.
 Blake picked path along the edge of the Till, where the moist vegetation. though scorched had refused to burn. After the first abrupt ledge up which Blake had to drag his companions. the ascent was easy. But as they climbed around an outiutting corner of the steep right wall of the cleft Blake muttered curse of disappointment. He could now see that the cleft did not run to the top of the cliff, but through it. like tiny box canyon. The sides rose sheer and smooth as walls. Midway. at the highest point of the cleft the baobab lowered high above the ridge crest. its gigantic trunk filling third of the breadth of the little gorge. Unfortunately it stood close to the left wall

 "Bows-arrows- did you not agree that they would make knives?"
 "umph--well see What is 1t, Miss Jenny"
 Isn't that hole in the big tree9'
 Looks like it. These baobabs are often hollow"
 Perhaps that is where the leopard had his den" added Winthrope.

 Might have been: but I'll bet they lit out with the other. Look how the tree is scorched Must have been stacks of dry brush around the hole, 'nough to smoke out fireman. We'll look and see if they left any soup bones lying around. First, though, here's your drink. Miss Jenny
 As he spoke. Blake kicked aside some smouldering branches and led the way to the crevice whence the spring trickled from the rock into a shallow stone basin. When all had drunk their fill of the clear cool water Blake took up his club and walked straight across to the baobab. Less than 30 steps brought him to the mar row opening in the trunk of the huge tree. At first he could make out noth- ing in the dimly lit interior; but the

JESUITS COMING
into SIERRE MADRES
Reported That Mission in Mex
leo Is to Recover
Buried Gold.

Il Is not generally known, but 1t is
a I?ct which can lie stated on good
authority, nat a Goa .neTable number
of Spanish Jesuit priests are coming
into the Sierra Madres in western
Chihuahua and It is thought by some
that as they seem to be locating in the
old mining towns in those regions
that part of their mission is searching
for buried treasure. Il is known
that the Jesuits have records of their
wonderful work of civilization in the
vice-regal days in Mexico and the
mountain towns TEEN with legends of
buried treasure OF which the priests
of that order undoubtedly could learn
more than any one else. In Salaman-
ca, Spain, this order is said to have
stored their wonderful records con
corning their great work in Mexico
and other counties of the New World.
The legends of the famous Lost Ia
yCpa" mines say that the Jesuits have
the records OF them in Salamanca.
The reports OF these priests coming
into Sierra Madres are that they are
coming in one or two at a time and
in their quiet. unassuming manner
they locate in the little mountain
towns At a little village near Urua-
chic in the very heart of the Sierra
Madres there are said to be four of
these priests and they are building a
new church. The village consists Of
eight or ten families.
