A peep in at the power house
reveals the fact that we are now
well prepared in the way of
water. The new compressor is a
fine piece of machinery, and with
the new well and boilers the
water plant is complete. More
electric power is needed badly,
but because of the high price of
material and machinery, it may
not be wise to invest further at
this time. There is a time to
buy and time to wait. This is

the health of our people in the
future. We have our new sew
erage system finished and ready
to be connected with which
should be done by all means be-
fore summer comes and every
one should exert himself to the

others will do so in the near

off toward town.
At his command the Brute carried
Annette across the desert, totally OBJ
livious to her struggles and outcries.
Ponto led the way, stopping from time
to time to make pleasant remarks to
Annette.
By this time they had reached the
small, damp, dank oasis with its shad-
ing palms and it's little pool of water.
Ponto led the way into the very depths
of this inviting green shelter. Then
he struck the Brute on the shoulder.
Now set her down." he commanded.
The Brute obeyed. Annette gasped
with surprise. She was not bound
she was free, untrammeled.
What are you going to do with
me?" queried Annette.
Nothing, senorita," returned Ponto,
bowling low.
Annette, wary, fearful, looked be.
hind her as though she expected an
attack from the rear. But there was
no one to be seen. Beyond was the
desert-there seemed to be no hiding
places.
Ponto merely bowed again. "Seno-

in distress-ah melt touches my
heart always. See. The mission lies
yonder-behind you Your path lies
there You are free"
Annette turned. Keeping her glance
over her shoulder. to be ready for
treachery, she slowly proceeded on
her way.
Suddenly, without warning, she sank
into the pit.
Ponto laughed in glee. "The stakes
they are like knives" he cried-they
are deadly-they are for taguars-and
little wildcat heiresses-oh, yes"
With a cry, Annette found herself
falling helplessly into the unknown
terror underneath.
"Help-help-help." she cried.

glanced warily about him. Suddenly.
he saw The jungle's edge came
down nearly to the water. Something
was stirring in this thicket. Joe
stared. And suddenly the face of a
woman-Inez Castro, peered out from
behind the huge leaf of tropic plant.
Read" That was the message
flashed from the eyes of Inez Castro
to the brain of Joe Welcher. Joe
read.
The note was brief and to the point:
We do not board this steamer.
But we must reach Santa Maria
first. 1t is up to you and you alone,
to create all possible delays. Do
not fail US now.
That night at dusk, Joe Welcher
lounging on the deck of the small
steamer as 1t steamed north along the
coast-shambled over toward a scut-
tie, and peered down to see what he
could see. What he did see was ma
chinery-the vessels machinery, work
ing smoothly, we'll oiled, well cared
for-for a steamboat engineer is a
steamboat engineer the world over.
What he saw was that for the moment,
no one was in charge
the engineer had stepped outside. This
was the instant that Joe Welcher had
been waiting for. Furtively he drew
from his breast pocket a small bar of
steel. For one instant he held it sus-
pended over the machinery. Then he
let it drop and noiselessly tiptoed
away.
Almost Immediately there was ter
rife grinding noise below, followed by
a terrific jolt. Then the engines
stopped-and the steamer followed
suit. Passengers and crew rushed to
the captain-Annette included.
What has happened" she demand
ed.
Something dropped into the ma

At midnight the break had not yet
been repaired.
At midnight, another small steamer,
also bound north along the coast,
passed silently along upon her way.
She was within hailing distance, but
she gave no sign.

Inez Strengthened up. Hernandez
and Ponto moved forward So did the
Brute. The sudden movement seemed
to startle the priest He looked up
hastily. He caught sight of the blank
face Of the Brute. He rose.
''Who-what is that?" he demanded,
pointing toward the Brute's blank
countenance.
"a servant" returned Hernandez,
picked up from a shipwreck some
three years ago. He had been a long
shoreman. He is emented-always
so, they told US. He is devoted to us
ALPHABETICALLY to Annette"
The priest stared at the Brute and
the Brute returned the stare.
"The eyes," said the priest, 81 never
forget eyes. I've seen those eyes
somewhere before" He tapped his
forehead. Let me think-when-
how"
Finally he shook his head. cit will

Brother Anselmo picked 1t up and
looked it over. 1t was Annette's let

governor of Martinique, and originally
