Back in the jungle, on the outskirts
of the Aztec village Of Corazon del
Sol, few days before, three men-
accompanied by a native guide or two
had crept through the jungle toward
civilization and the shore. On the
second day they had reached a rail-
way station, such as it was, and rail-
road, such as it was. They found
the stationmaster.
when does the next train go?"
demanded Hernandez.
The official yawned. when she re-
turns from Tortuga, the pestilential-

Hernandez stamped his foot impa-
tiently.
Hours later from a clump Of trees
on the outskirts of Tortuga Herman
dez, Ponto and Brute peered across
the bay.
Suddenly Hernandez clutched Pom
to by the arm. Look" he cried, they
come"
Through the opening in the leaves
he pointed toward the wharf. Annette
and her little coterie were landing on
the wharf.
"Ponto," said Hernandez, "that lit
tie wildcat of girl-she and her
smooth-faced sweetheart-they have
tricked us long enough. This time
they shall not get away"

hurled it with tremendous force at
him. 1t grazed his head, stunning
him. The Brute, grasping in his hand
sapling, leaned far out from the
shore of the little islet and with one
hand grasped Annette, drew her, drip
ping from the quagmire and set her
on dry land.
Behind him he heard shouts.
In frenzy of fear, he seized Pontos
body, slung it over his shoulder, and
then, with the instinct of a brute and
not man, he leaped lightly, but sure
ly, from bog to bog, and disappeared
along some painless trail.
Ten minutes later Annette, in the
midst of motley crowd Of tars and
natives-and in the glare of many
torches, was answering Meals whis-
pered question.

"they didn't get the map. They
couldn't get it. Last week 1 gave It
for safe keeping-to the commander

NOTICE.

All people are hereby warned
that yellow fever is carried by
mosquitoes. Avoid being bitten if
you can and kill all the mosqui-
toes you find.
RAMON CAROL, Mayor.
In cooperation with U. S. S. Al
bany.
Gunner he said to Neal, you're
on shore leave, l know. But I'd be
glad if you'd buckle to and tack these
up in town. I'll go back to the ship
and get my squad and a few supplies.
Until then good-by.''
That afternoon Ramon Carol, the
mayor of Tortuga, stood, now clad in
his official uniform, in the middle of
his doorway, surrounded by clamor-
ing mob.
See, now, my people," he ex-
claimed, there is no cause for alarm.
See what I am doing for you-what
other mayor has done SO much? Note
the magnificent cruiser-of the United
States-the Alliance I have sent for

vast, my children) out of my private
fortune am paying all these special
lists. - He sighted suddenly
figure on the outskirts Of the crowd.
His manner changed. The figure was
that of the surgeon of the Albany

mayor.
"Ah, senor," said the mayor, speak

how noble, beneficent your country is
how you have, free of all charge
and without expense-come to our
prosperous little community and have

The surgeon snorted. Excuse me
for moment" he exclaimed. He
darted down the street and caught
young woman by the arm just as she
was entering an adobe hut.
The young woman was Annette H.
ington.

away-hands of-you'll kill yourself"
From inside there came low moan

Annette broke away from the sur
geon's grasp. Gee whiz," he said,

The wall inside turned to speech

Little white angel" cried the
voice, come, little white angel-and

The commander Of the Albany low
cred his glasses. He beckoned to
Neal Hardin, a gunner on his ship.
Neal answered the summons and sa-
luted.
You may inform your friend Miss
Ilington and her party that in half
an hour they will be set ashore at
Tortuga," he directed.
Neal started off, Zone moment"
added the commander. Tell Miss Il

the message-and in moment An

She glanced about her-even there
bit stealthily, and produced her
chamois bag, ami from it took the
map-the old tinle-worn, yellow, tat

at it with interest.

"Eh," cried Hernandez.
"Our young friend of the map

He leaned forward. "You under

"Ah," said Hernandez, chat is we'll.

"Everywhere-he, too, will answer

PeriIous Places.

FERROUS traces.
Ten days later Annette Ilington,
now called the little white angel even
by the shore squad from the cruiser,
felt her skirts plucked by clutching
hand. She looked down. A native-a
mere bag of bones in a tumble Of rags
-crouched at her feet.
Little white angel" whined the ma
tive in Spanish-and Annette had
learned enough of the tongue to listen
to appeals for help-"my daughter
just like yor-so kind, and pretty.
She lies at deaths &Gor. You have
food, you have medicine-and you can
lay your hand on her. She will get
well. What you have done for 9th
ers you can do for her"
An officer from the Albany turned
the corner Annette's heart leaped.
The man was Neal Hardin.
"Neal," she cried, listen to him
talk to him for me. Ask him where
his daughter is-Ill go unless it's too
far"
Neal spoke to the man in his native
language. The man jabbered back
eloquently.
"Only a short distance out of town, y
said Neal, lover that hill"
"T'1l CO." said Annette.
Neal pondered for a moment. "All
right he said, land I'm free just
now. I'll go with you"
The native leaped to his feet with
alacrity and ran crookedly ahead of
them. Outside of the town they
plunged into underground and then
through woods-but the ground was
dry and the trail was fairly good.
At the door of hut the native
paused and motioned them in.
Neal and Annette entered side by
side. In a dark corner was huddled
shape under a filthy cloth. Annette
sprang toward it. At that instant the
native dropped to the ground and
clutched Meals ankles tightly in each
hand. At the same instant the hud-
died figure in the corner leaped to it's
feet-it was 20 stricken grit was
Hernandez, with the light of triumph
in his eyes. And at the same instant
Ponto and the brute sprang into the
fray.
1t was only a matter OF a moment
before Annette and Neal found them
selves bound and lying on the floor.

CHAPTER XIII.
Pernicious Plots.

Pernicious Plots.
1t was after dark. Out of clump
Of trees upon hill there sauntered
forth a man-this man was Ponto. He
picked his way carefully-warily. Be-
fore he knew it he was where he
wanted not to be-in the streets Of
the town. Once in, he started out,
but something attracted his attention.
A little crowd of men and women
stood about placard tasked upon the
side of hut Ponto read it swiftly.
Ponto raised his eyebrows signifi-
cantly. He had heard rumors-this
confirmed them.
Mosquitoes" he said softly to him
self, mosquitoes" He tucked the
word mosquitoes back in the inmost
recesses of his mind and went his
way. Skirting the town he reached
the Inn Of the Spanish Don. From
the rear he spied a figure in a win
dow. He whistled softly.
A woman in the window started
slightly, and peered out.
Ponto clambered up to the window
Immediately replacing it as best he
might. He shifted the air.

Inez.
Ponto shook his head. Not" he

The proprietor was summoned. At
the door, at sight of Ponto he started
back in surprise But Ponto held his
finger on his lips, and exhibited a
multitude of coins in the open palm
of his hand The proprietor advanced
and quickly appropriated the coin.

The two men struck light and sat
down facing each other.
Ponto spoke in measured tones-ev-
cry word that he uttered from now on
contained portent. He knew what he
was about. In the back of his head
he had an idea-baleful but useful.

grimly. He felt that Ponto was hold

An hour later Annette and her
party disembarked from one of the
Albany's launches.
