to the spot. He was powerless to do
anything. Suddenly-obeying the in
stinct of safety-for he could do moth

that foolish risk of life was suicide
-obeying the instinct of self-preserva-

At that instant with one final grunt
one final heave-the Brute bent his
mighty shoulders in one last desper-

loose, detached, uprooted, to one side.
The next instant the troop train
empty as it was-reached the broken
track and left it. With the roar Of
thunder it plunged, plowed through
the soft earth and plunged pell nell

the train by mere hairsbreadth.

into the jungle. The Brute followed
him, as a guilty dog follows its master

He paused a moment. DO you know"
he said, there's something about that
location that sticks in my mind-some
vague rumor."
"The isle contains quicksilver

officers quarters have been placed at

There you can get train.
Its a short ride on that road to

Half a mile farther down the track
out of the Jungle crept two figures
each with gun in hand, each with a
black mask upon his face. Across the
track they piled tree or two-these
trees had been plucked up by the roots
by one of these masked men
After completing this self-appointed
task, they crept back into the jungle
and waited patiently.
Finally one of the men prodded the
other. "Now," he commanded, there
