crawl hands and knees. few hundred yards
further on, it made sharp turn TO the left and
here Banning, holding his lantern, that
breach had recently been made in a wall of old
masonry which had blocked this point. The traces
were those OF a single worker and his task must
have been slow and dificult But Banning could
not pause tonight he promised himself to return
for full examination later. Slipping through the
breach, he found himself in ancient rock pas
sage bearing signs of Maya workmanship. 1t was
high enough and wide enough for two men TO
walk abreast and at full height; and it led direct
ly into what Banning knew must be the very
heart of the temple ruins. The way seemed long.
Frequently. walls of masonry interposed, evident
ly to cut off this passage; and through them, Nor
quOy evidently still alone, had patiently mined
his way. 1t must have taken months of work
and so given him uninterrupted opportunities.
Banning was beginning to fear he must turn back,
leading down into the earth. He hurried down
them and in a few moments found himself stand
ing in the broken doorway Of a small square
chamber.

household use, feather robes still brilliant in that
dry air headdresses, furniture and Maya books ia

rich discovery, and wonder, perhaps, Norquoy
had wished TO keep it TO himself
But tempted as he was, Banning had time 20

Banning, well, you that gave Norquoy time.

"My dear boy" said Grendon. "and-you say

was off in the chiefs place, Banning

awaited developments.

he could have hoped. He saw Nor

1t took the whole camp twenty
minutes battle with the mad man
before they got him down. Norquoy
had imbibed an unusually heavy
dose of the mariahuana, and he was
an unusually powerful man. In his
delirium he imagined that he fought
with wild beasts, and his cries re

struggle they got him tied and

''Norquoy!" muttered Banning and sat up. He
must ferret out this vile business to the bottom
before he took any action. What motive had
Norquoy for such evil deed? Unless in truth
he was after something which he wishes to pUr-
sue alone, and unobserved-? Banning remem-

noiselessly opened, and Norquoy came out. He
stood there a lean, alert figure, listening looking
carefully this way and that Then with cat-lke
steps he moved away from the camp and down
towards the river. Banning followed, keeping
well behind and in the shadows Norquoy took

part had been untouched, by the COpan river

oars. Fortunately, the moonlight gave certain
