Annette Was Watching With Eyes
Wide With Terror.

the terror he inspired, land you shall
be destroyed. Behind me is fire, sud-
den death. We have many thousand
warriors. We have an Unsuitable god.
We brook no strangers-we tolerate
no enemies. You are an enemy, you
and yours. Go, and go at once"
''We are not enemies" returned Her
nandez. 1--WE 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 shout
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 long, lean, skinny finger, the
high priest pointed to the sun god.
He Frustrated 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 a
leaping, twisting flame sprang into
the air.
Hernandez drew back. The fame
was hot It grew hotter as he
watched. In few moments it was a
seething, roaring furnace.
Hernandez stood with folded arms.
The high priest swooped down upon
him and denounced him in whitening
jargon. 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.
Run, partner" cried Ponto, ''run
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
to followed his glance. At the other
end of the clearing with a ray of sun
shine full upon her crouched Annette
IIington.
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"
Unless what?" queried Hernandez.
"You give the white girl to the god
and the rest of you can get food and
succor within the walls-the white
girl for the god"

To the orderly the visitor said:

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
onets and made ready for charge.
Suddenly, however, Neal held up his
hands. Listen" he exclaimed. From
the unseen waters beyond there was
the boom of a gun.
"It's my gum" said Neal "T know
her when she speaks-my six-inch
gun"
The officer in charge of the squad
held up his hand. Halt" he COM
handed.
His squad halted. 1t was well they
did. Through the open gate they
could see the sun gods demoniacal
countenance twisting and mounting in
the red glare Of the affairs flames.
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. Look-look-look."
With 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 more than found the range-he
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
a thousand pieces-and disappeared.

Corazon del Sol.

After a march of hours in the very
| thickest of the jungle, Hernandez halt
| ed his band of insurrectos. The re-
spite was welcomed. Exhaustion
reigned supreme. Hernandez picked

"This TRAIL" he said to them, "has
been lately travelled. See where it
leads"
Hernandez went back to his cap,

pieces of bread He Embossed 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
crumbling stone wall, older than his
toric man himself. Two unprepossess-
| 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
fbaro or cnooobloco1u OF "a
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 waddIed to
the side of Hernandez and nodded

DEE.
''The lost tribe" whispered the
scouts. "The Aztecs. Come" they
cried, Eve have no time to lose. They
will be upon us. Fly"
Hernandez gripped each man by the
wrist. Speak, Ponto," he demanded.
POnto tapped himself upon his chest
"I am Of Aztec blood myself" he said.
II have heard of this lost tribe have
heard Of this city of Corazon del Sol
Many assume it to be a myth, senior,
but it is no myth
Hernandez nodded How many in
habitants of Corazon del So1?" he
queried.
'sTradition 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
back"
Hernandez Ieered "Ponto," he said,
Gin front of Us, according to these in
surrectos, is a fiery furnace with mil
lion foes. Behind us, camping on our
trail somewhere Is handful of Ameri-
can marines. Which do you choose?"
Forward" said Ponto, ito the fiery
furnace. Deliver me from handful

CURED.

There are few varieties of rye. A
kind known as Southern rye is practi-
cally the only one now grown In the
warmer parts of the cotton belt. The
Abruzzes Tor AbruzzD rye, u recently
introduced variety, is giving excellent
results in South Carolina, and promis-
es to be the best kind for large part
of the cotton belt, both for grain and
as pasture or cover crop. 1t stands
more erect, produces more rank
growth, and yields more grain than
other sorts that have been tried there.
The supply of seed of this variety is at
present limited, and if seed Of this va
riety can not be secured, homegrown
seed should be used if possible. North

IF BACK HURTS

well known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which clogs the kidney pores 90
they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from thu,
blood, then you get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, constipation, dizziness },
sleeplessness, bladder disorders, come
from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache il
the kidneys or your back hurts, or If
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full Of
sediment, irregular of passage, or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a tab
lespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This fam
GUS salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used fo.
generation to flush clogged kidneys AMI
stimulate them to activity, also TO
neutralize the acids in urine SO it no

Father Tells How She Was

Lakeport, NH. -"Our little girl, 8
years of age, was in a debilitated, run
down condition, and had a stubborn,
chronic cough. While she did not have
to stay out of school, on account of her
condition, she was weak and ailing all
the time and far from well.
eve treated her cough, but nothing
seemed to help her until we tried Vinol,
after which we noticed an immediate
improvement Her appetite increased
and now she is strong and well and we
can recommend Vinol to other parents
who have delicate, ailing children. -
GEO. A. COLLINS, Lakeport, N. H.
What vinol did for this little girl it
will do for other weak and ailing chill
dren, because theyneed the build
ing, strengthening cod liver elements
and the tonic iron that Vinol contains.
1t is delicious to the taste.
That's why vinol builds them up SO
quickly, and we ask parents of delicate
children in this vicinity to try Vinol
with the understanding that we will
return their money if it fails to give
satisfactory results.
