Back in the jungle, on the outskirts
of the Aztec village Of Corazon del
Sol, a few days before, three men
accompanied by a native guide or two
had crept through the jungle toward
civilization and the shore, On the

way station, such as 1t was, and a rail-
road, such as II was. They found
the stationmaster.

An officer from the Albany turned
the corner. Annette's heart leaped
The man was Neal Hardin.
'Neal," she cried, "listen to him

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,
said Neal, "over that hill"
"Ill CO." said Annette.
Neal pondered for moment. "All
right" he said, "and I'm free Just
now. Ill 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 a hut the native
paused and motioned them in.
Neal and Annette entered side by
side. In a dark corner was huddled

sprang toward it. At chat instant the

Pernicious Plots.

Perncious Plots.
It was after dark. Out of a clump
of trees upon hill there sauntered
forth 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 a placard tasked upon the
side of hut. Ponto read it swiftly.
Ponto raised his eyebrows signiti-
cantly. He had heard rumors-this
confirmed them.
Mosquitoes" he said softly to him

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 spfed figure in win

A woman in the window started
slightly, and peered out.
Ponto clambered up to the window
and noiselessly tore the net from it,
Immediately replacing it as best he
might. He shifted the air.

Summon him." said Ponto.
The proprietor was summoned. At
the door, at sight of Ponto he started
back in surprise. But Ponto held his
