But there were those who knew he

knew he lived. because periodically
and quite persistently he demanded

Just now he stared straight before
him through the gates OF the crum-
bling walls. The high priest followed
his glance
Suddenly the high priest started and
held high his hand. A group of Aztec
warriors answered the summons. In
crude uneven order this crowd rushed

Across the strip of jungle they could
hear the boom-boom Of the gun.

cried. Wait. Look-look-look."
With a mighty shout of triumph the
marines leaped into the air yelling like
