of Annette Ilington. Now, however
genuine as the letter was-genuine as
was the guaranty of the governor OF

contained them. He rose and smiled.

At his command the Brute carried

Ponto led the way, stopping from time

Annette.
By this time they had reached the
small, damp, dank oasis with it's shad-

Ponto led the way into the very depths
of this inviting green shelter. Then
he struck the Brute on the shoulder.
"Now set her down." he commanded

Annette, wary, fearful, looked be-
hind her as though she expected an
attack from the rear. But there was
no one to be seen. Beyond was the
desert-there seemed to be no hiding

Annette turned. Keeping her glance
over her shoulder, to be ready for
treachery, she slowly proceeded OF
her way.
Suddenly, without warning. she sank
into the pit. {.
Ponto laughed in glee. "The stakes
they are like knives he cried-they
ara deadly-they are for jaguars-and
little wildcat heiresses- yes"
With a cry, Annette found herself
falling helplessly into the unknown

Hernandez was quite right. Annette
Ilington, even more eager than had
been her, enemies, could hardly wait
the moment when she might stand be-
fore the fathers of the Santa Maria
mission and claim her own.
Ponto woke the Brute with vicious
application of the whip lash.
Spare him not, Ponto," said Her
nandez," if he disobeys this time, cut
his hide into strips-I give you leave"
At half run Ponto and the Brute
started across the desert, lodging
here and there behind little hillocks
of sand. Finally the village was cut
off from their sight.

let it drop and noiselessly tiptoed

With bound the Brute was upon
her. He darted to the very edge of
the pit, and with the surefootedness of
an animal crouched there, throwing
his entire body forward and catching
her by the shoulders just as she dis
appeared from sight. He drew her
back to terra firma. No sooner had
he done so, however, than Ponto was
upon them both, knife in hand, his
teeth literally crashing with rage.
He hurled a savage knife-thrust at
the Brute-and missed. Then he threw
himself upon Annette and half tore
her in his frenzy from the Brute's
grasp, cutting and slashing at them
both with his wicked knife.

He thrust her savagely into the pit.

with his sharp weapon.
