CHEERFUL WOMEN

Dependency is thing of evil origin
and evil results. Worry produces moth
ing but wrinkles and wretchedness.
Let the reader put up a little note on
her bureau, on her desk, and at the
head of her bed, just two words, DON'T
WORRY. Worry is the greatest foe to
the happiness Of any household. An
anxious, respondent face, a fretful,
complaining voice, will make every one
uncomfortable
A woman's nerves are more truly the
cause of worry than outside troubles.
The nerves are of woman's body the
telegraph system, which surely warns
her of any trouble in the feminine
makeup. .
Dr.. Pierce, during a long period
of practice, found that prescription
made with glycerine, entirely of roots
and herbs, without the use of alcoholl,
cured over ninety per cent. of such

Meantime things had happened.
Outside the fort there was camped a
gang of about fifty insurrectos. Many
were wounded. all seemed to be in

They had with them three Ameri-

a cigarette. Inez Castro was also in
evidence. The third Americana was

"Who are your" he demanded of

Hernandez and his two companions
reached the tree. They reconnoitered.
Above him in the swaying branches,
all ignorant Of the group below, Neal
wigwagged his signals toward the Al
bany. His heart leaped within him,
for the Albany wigwagged in return.
She was doing more-she was sending
off her fastest launch shoreward,

Below Hernandez smiled diabolical
smile. He was watching, not Neal,
but the swaying Of the tree.
"Look," he said to Ponto, "see how

rock. She totters. And she is more
than a tree growing on a rock-she

CHAPTER XxxVI.
Corazon del Sol.

Corazon del Sol.
After march of hours in the very
thickest of the jungle, Hernandez halt
ed his band Of insurrectos. The re-
spite was welcomed. Exhaustion
reigned supreme. Hernandez picked
out two of the sleeker looking revo-
lutionists.
"This TRAIL" he said to them, has
been lately travelled. See where it
leads"
Hernandez went back to his cap
tives. He carried with him thick
pieces of bread. He Embossed the
bandages from their eyes.
Mine hostages" he said lightly,
"eat, drink and be merry"
Three miles further on there was a
clearing in the jungle. Across this
clearing was an ancient gateway and
crumbling stone wall, older than his
toric man himself. Two unprepossess-
ing stolid stone figures guarded this
gateway. A third guard now entered
the foreground and passed through the
ancient ruined gateway.
He was living guard, but of a dead
race. He was an Aztec. He had heard
noises and he had come out to see as
well as to hear.
And suddenly he saw and was seen
in turn. Wriggling through the por-
tons of the edge of the clearing sud-
denly appeared the two scouts sent
forward by Hernandez. They crouched
there, staring speechlessly at the
Aztec warrior. He. in his turn stared
speechlessly at them.
But they had seen more than he had.
They had caught glimpse through
that gateway of a mass of leaping,
twisting flame, and they knew it for
the thing it was.
with their tongues hanging out and
their eyes still wide with terror, they
crept up to Hernandez and clutched
him by the arms.
"Corazon del SOL" they cried, their
faces twisted with terror.
Ponto heard them. His eyes cleaned
with sudden interest. He waddled to
the side Of Hernandez and nodded
Understandings.
"Corazon del SOL" repeated Herman
dez. "The Heart of the Sum-"
Ponto nodded again. "The Heart of
the Sum-" he repeated.
well, what of it," asked Herman
dez.
"The lost tribe" whispered the
scouts. "The Aztecs.; Come" they
cried, I'VE have no time to lose. They
will be upon us. Fly"
. Hernandez gripped each man by the
wrist. Speak, Ponto," he demanded.
Ponto tapped himself upon his chest.
II am of Aztec blood myself" he said.
II have heard of this lost tribe. I have
heard of this city of Corazon del Sol.
Many assume it to be myth, senior,
but it is no myth"
Hernandez nodded. "How many in
habitants of Corazon del Sol?" he
Queried.
"Tradition has It," said Ponto, that
it is town surrounded by wall and
that it's population never increases"
He smiled grimly. What human be-
tngs it does not need, it feeds to the
Heart of the Sun-the fame"
1T will feed all of us to the fame"
cried the scouts. 1--WE must go back
back"
Hernandez leered. "Ponto," he said.
Tin front of us, according to these in
surrectos, is fiery furnace with mill
lion foes. Behind us, camping on our
trail somewhere, is a handful Of Ameri-
can marines. Which do you choose?"
Forward" said Ponto, ito the fiery
furnace. Deliver me from a handful
of marines"

AS she did so there was a scream
q. woman's scream-Annette's Her.
nandez heard it; so did Ponto;s but
they could not locate it. Out of their
sight, somewhere along that Cliff, An.
nette was crouching watching with
eyes wide with terror. She saw the
tree bend slowly outward, though she
did not know the cause
Then her, heart 1eaped within her,
for the tree had dropped, topping
mead over heels, 80 to speak, but by
some great chance it had brushed
Neal lightly, not heavily, against the
Cliff, and then had plunged down to it's
own doom leaving him graphing for
his life with clump of bushes on a
narrow ledge below.
She saw all this and so did Herman
dez and his partner, Ponto. Ponto
smote the brute upon the shoulder. He
pointed to a huge stone at his feet.
Finish him." he commanded. 60
down and finish him."
The brute seized the stone and crept
warily down narrow path and
reached the ledge upon which clung
Neal.
The brute slowly raised the rock
| above his head. AS he did so a small
firm hand clutched him by the shout
der-a woman's hand. He turned and
looked into the eyes of Annette ling
ton. AS though hypnotized he dropped
the rock.
Help him." commanded Annette,
help him. Do as l say"
Hernandez, white with rage, thrust
| Ponto behind him and leaned far over
the edge of the cliff shaking his
clenched hand impotently at the brute.
DO as l say" he commanded. 81
will fay you if you don't"
He leaned too far, not for his own
| safety, but for the safety of some of
his belongings. A paper packet wrig-
gled easily and joyously out of his
| breast pocket and slipped easily and
joyously down the cliff, landing almost
at Annette's feet.
The brute turned suddenly, darted
forward, stretched forth a huge hand
| and jerked Neal from his precarious
position up to the ledge-up to safety.
The three stood there clinging to
the side of the cliff; the brute pant
ing with wonder, Neal and Annette
painting with relief Suddenly Annette
stopped and picked up a packet that
lay at her feet. She uttered a little
cry of recognition-and with good
cause.
It was the identifying map-part. of
the evidence that linked her with the
lost Isle of Cinnabar
Ten minutes later Neal flung up
his hands and cheered-and with good
cause. Over the brow of a hill, clam
bering like mad, there swarmed up
through the jungle a crowd Of United
States marines.
Hernandez and Ponto saw them
from above and with wild oaths turned
and incontinently fed. The brute,
obeying a sudden impulse, crept swift
ly along the ledge and followed his re-
treating masters.
Neal and Annette assembled more
cautiously and carefully. They met

groups faced each other, tense, won,

The high priest spoke-uttering I'M
Ineligible jargon. Hernandez turned
to Ponto.
what does this old devil say?" he
demanded.
Ponto was painting with terror.
'He says" said Ponto, that he
wants to talk to you"
Hernandez pondered for a moment
and toyed with the weapon in his
hand.
Then he crossed the clearing and
faced the high priest. Ponto from his
vantage point of comparative safety
translated in thin high-strung tones.
'You are interlopers,' said the
priest angrily, his cruel eyes watching

He turned and passed between the

the gate.

walls three PAGES behind the priest.
He led Hernandez to the center of
the village.
With a long, lean, skinny finger, the
high priest pointed to the sun god.
He Frustrated himself, then rose and
gave a sharp command. Two Aztecs,
clad in scarlet robes, darted forward,
each with a burning brand raised high
above his head. Before Hernandez
was a pit sunk into the ground. It
was piled high with fuel and from this
pit there rose quite a familiar odor-
the odor Of petroleum. In went the
burning brands and in the twinkling
| of an eye the fuel caught fire and a
leaping, twisting flame sprang into
the air.
Hernandez drew back. The flame
| was hot. It grew hotter as he
watched. In a few moments it was a
| seething, roaring furnace.
Hernandez stood with folded arms
The high priest swooped down upon
him and denounced him in whitening
jargon. Hernandez knew what it
meant. It meant that they were to go.
"Ponto," he cried, come here"
Ponto, quivering, crept through the
| double line of Aztec warriors and
through the gate. Hernandez jerked

"Tetl him." said Hernandez, that

hand and from every hut in the in

group of warriors.

fell, half shuffled out of the cell, fol-
lowed by Hernandez raining blows
upon his back.
