the little squad of marines on the top
of the cliff and joined them in the
double quick toward the Aztec strong
hold. They reached the clearing. The
gates of the walled city were open and
the walls bristled with armored Aztec
warriors. The marines fixed their bay

Suddenly however, Neal held up his

the unseen waters beyond there was
the boom of gun.

His squad halted. 1t was we'll they

could see the sun gods demoniacal

Across the strip of jungle they could
hear the boom-boom of the gun.
Neal slapped his thigh with JOY
Hes got the range already, boys" he
cried. wait. ook--look-look."
With a mighty shout of triumph the
marines leaped into the air yelling like
demons themselves. They had good
cause, for the gunner on the Albany

had planted an exploding shell in the
very middle Of the sun god--and the
sun god and his temple, amid shrieks
from a hundred throats--burst into
thousand pieces-and disappeared

We brook no strangers-we tolerate
no enemies. You are an enemy, you
and yours. Go, and go at once"
I'VE are not enemies" returned Her
nandez. I'VE are travelers-weary
travellers. We have lost our way. We
need rest and food. To turn back now
means death"
The high priest shrugged his shoul-
ders. Follow me" he said.
He turned and passed between the
divided group of warriors and entered
the gate.
Hernandez followed, entering the
walls three PAGES behind the priest.
He led Hernandez to the center OF
the village.
With a long, lean, skinny finger, the
high priest pointed to the sun god
He prostrated himself, then rose and
gave a sharp command. Two Aztecs
clad in scarlet robes, darted forward
each with burning brand raised high
above his head. Before Hernandez
was a pit sunk into the ground. 1t
was piled high with fuel and from this
pit there rose quite familiar odor-
the odor Of petroleum. In went the
burning brands and in the twinkling
of an eye the fuel caught fire and
leaping, twisting fame sprang into
the air.
Hernandez drew back. The fame
was hot. It grew hotter as he
watched. In few moments it was
seething, roaring furnace.
Hernandez stood with folded arms.
The high priest swooped down upon
him and denounced him in withering
argon. Hernandez knew what it
meant. 1t meant that they were to go.
"Ponto," he cried, come here"
Ponto, quivering, crept through the
double line of Aztec warriors and
through the gate. Hernandez jerked
his head toward the priest.
Tell him." said Hernandez, that
he must take us in"
Ponto obeyed. He began to plead
in his oiliest accents. The high priest
was firm. Once again he held up his
hand and from every hut in the in
closure there sprang forth another
group Of warriors.

for your life"
But Hernandez did not run, for sud
denly the countenance Of the high
priest had changed A crafty smile
spread over his leathery old face. Pom

end of the clearing with ray OF sun
shine full upon her crouched Annette

Without removing his glance from
the girl the high priest touched Her
nandez on the arm and spoke in high
shrill accents.
What does he say?" demanded Her
nandez of Ponto.
Ponto shivered. HE says" re-
turned Ponto, the sun god is angry.
That he has commanded his people
to destroy you ALL That he will smite
you hip and thigh unless"

ed his band of insurrectos. The re.
spite was welcomed. Exhaustion
reigned sugreme. Hernandez picked
out two of the sleeker looking reyo'
lutionists.
This trail" he said to them, has
been lately travelled. See where it
leads"
Hernandez went back to his cap
tives. He carried with him thick
pieces of bread. He unloosed the
bandages from their eyes.
Mine hostages" he said lightly,
"eat, drink and be merry"
Three miles further on there was a
clearing in the jungle. Across this
clearing was an ancient gateway and
a crumbling stone wall, older than his
toric man himself. Two uupTepossess-
ing stOlid stone figures guarded this
gateway. A third guard now entered
the foreground and passed through the
ancient ruined gateway.
He was a living guard, but of dead
race He was an Aztec. He had heard
noises and he had come out to see as
well as to hear.
And suddenly he saw and was seen
in turn. Wriggling through the por-
tions of the edge OF the clearing sud
denly appeared the two scouts sent
forward by Hernandez. They crouched
there, staring speechlessly at the
Aztec warrior. He in his turn stared
speechlessly at them.
But they had seen more than he had.
They had caught a glimpse through
that gateway of a mass of leaping,
twisting fame, and they knew it for
the thing it was.
An hour later painting, breathless,
with their tongues hanging out and
their eyes still wide with terror, they
crept up to Hernandez and clutched
him by the arms.
"Corazon del Sol" they cried, their
faces twisted with terror.
Ponto heard them. His eyes cleaned
with sudden interest. He waddled to
the side of Hernandez and nodded
Understandings.
"Corazon del Sol" repeated Herman

Ponto nodded again. The Heart of

Ponto tapped himself upon his chest.

Many assume it to be a myth, senor,
but it is no myth"
Hernandez nodded @How many in

queried
Tradition has it," said Ponto, "that
it is a town surrounded by a wall and
that its population never increases"
He smiled grimly. What human be-
ings it does not need, it feeds to the
Heart of the Sun-the fame"
1T will feed all of US to the fame"
cried the scouts. 1--WE must go back

Hernandez leered. "Ponto," he said,

Why did Clearwater county pay out

The county was then out of debt?
Why were the old Nez Perez county
warrants not paid during the four
years ending January IL, 1915? If
the county board did not pay its debts
the law had to be violated. And the
1914 levy should have been at least 25
mills instead of some II. The Nease
cruise would have necessitated six tC

ton of the county, and the board
should have levied to meet this. Toe

SHALL WE SLOW DOWN?

The Republican believes, consider
ing all phases of the situation, that
the time has come for all the economy
in county business the case will stand.
BY this we mean that until there is
relief from the present burdensome
taxation the county should slow down
on roads and every other thing that
takes money. Perhaps the present
county board has done this except in
the matter of roads, which the people
have demanded. Every section of the
county hounds the commissioners for
road money, and we want the people
to stop and realize what they are do
ing. Naturally public officials are
anxious to do all they can for the cit
liens, and take pride in count devel-
opment. And in a new county, need
ing so many roads, and so much i'm
provement, and repairs on what we
have, there is no limit to the amount
of money that can be eaten up, and
not penny wasted.
Nor are county officials entirely at
fault for the fact that some of our
road fund are thrown away, wasted,
sometimes grated, and that our roads
suffer ir spite of the fact that the
people dig up ample. The people
! themselves, not all, but too many,
are ready to bleed the road funds to
the limit, and do it at every opportun-
ity. They look upon the road funds
as legitimate prey. They will not dc
the square thing by the county, and
the county road dollar does not always
get dollars worth of service.
Clearwater county is probably nc
worse than other counties. 1t is a
habit people, the world over, have in
dealing with the general community,
and is the strongest argument one
/ has against government ownership.
A corporation could run our post office
at saving of millions annually. A
good business man could materially
increase the efficiency of our roaC
funds. 1t is up to the people them.
selves to change this condition. But
do you back up the few road overseers

To illustrate. Druing the fall o
