The dog told. He didn't want to,
but neither did he like the prick of
bayonets through his hide-so he told,
and then he led the way. BY the time
they had reached the outskirts of the

Hernandez, in his hut, heard the
commotion. He knew in his bones
what it was. Come on" he cried to

Ponto.

Someone comes" he whispered
No sooner had he said it than the
Brute was upon them. He seized Neal
as in wise. But Neal-a trickster in

Neal dropped like log.
POntO, knowing the reason for haste,
turned and looked about him. He
was puzzled by Hernandez absence.
but this was no time to wonder. He
drew a knife and started toward
Annette.
''This time" he cried, you shall
not get away"
Annette ran, crookedly, hysterical

quagmire, and still sinking. Ponto
from terra firma, 1unged at her with
his knife-but his lunge fell short.
Annette struggled away-tried to
reach some place of safety. But her
way was blocked by a waterlogged
piece Of wood. Against this she rest

For the first time she screamed.
The Brute, busy with Neal who lay
upon the ground, heard her and swung
around. He saw what was happening.
Ponto has raised his knife on high.
Failing to strike-he was about to hurI
it at the girl-and Ponto's aim was
perfect.
