 Neal and Annette entered side by side In dark corner was a huddlod shape under a filthy cloth Annette sprang toward it Al that instant the native dropped to the ground and clutched Neal aukles tightly in each hand. At the same instant the hud- dled figure in the. corner leaped to it's feet-it was no stricken girl-it was Hernandez. with the light of triumph in his eyes And at the same instant Ponto and the brute sprang into the fray.
 It was only matter of a moment before Annette and Neal found them selves bound and lying on the floor.
