it had been attached to the photograph
of Annette Ilington. Now, however,
genuine as the letter was-genuine as
was the guaranty Of the governor OF
Martinique-yet the photograph was
the counterfeit presentment of Inez
Castro.
"Ah, yes" he said, comparing the
picture with the face of Inez and TAX
ing advantage of the opportunity to
search her very soul, 'ah, yes. The
identification would seem to be COM
plete.'
"Then," said 1nez, II may have the
grant?'
The priest folded up the papers and
returned them to the iron box that had
contained them. He rose and smiled.
Nothing in my life have l ever
done,' he said, without prayer and
sleep. This is an important matter.
It requires praying overwhelming
over. Come on the morrow, daughter,
and I shall then make delivery. Until
then-adios.

other officer, getting out section OF

senior told him that.
Eighteen degrees NORTH" unused the
junior, "and 1913 degrees west" He
pored over his sectional map. He
shook his head.
"Rut,' he protested, there's no land
there-there's no island to be seem
Neal almost jumped out of his skin.
There is an island there, uncharted
and unmapped," said Neal, but it's
there. It's the Isle of Cinnabar-wa
call it the Lost Isle.'
"Who calls it the Lost Isle?"
Neal told them Annette's story
from start to finish.
The commander smiled. 1--WE get
our coaling stations by making trea

making a treaty with a girl, but sup
pose it can be done. Well have tc
wireless Washington about that. And
I know pretty much what our orders
will be now-suppose you guess" 81
Neal smiled. Follow the girl" he
said -
So they followed Annette. But 9th

Hidden Peril.

1nez by the wrist, the party has ar

He handed his binoculars to Inez

risk of getting it? Already that old

not take the bit in our teeth and

with the whip and the horse ambled
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
Annette
By this time they had reached the
small, damp, dank oasis with it's shad-
ing palms and it's little pool of water.
Ponto led the way into the very depths
of this inviting green shelter. Then
"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?" aueried Annette.
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-
rita," he said, with leer, beauty
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. s..-. ..
Suddenly, without warning, she sank
into the pit. s.. -. O.. .%~-. r:
Ponto laughed in g]ee. "The stakes
they are like Knives" he cried-they
are deadly-they are for jaguars-and
little wildcat heiresses-oh, yes"
With a cry, Annette found herself
falling helplessly into the unknown
terror underneath. !
"Help-help-help." she cried. |
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1916-02-19

With a bound the Brute was upon,
her. He darted to the very edge of;
the pit, and with the surefootedness of
an animal crouched there, throwing
his entire body forward and catching
her by the shoulders just as she dis
appeared from sight. He drew her
back to terra firma. No sooner had
he done so, however, than Ponto was
upon them both, knife in hand, his
teeth literally gnashing with rage.
He hurled a savage knife-thrust at
the Brute-and missed. Then he threw
himself upon Annette and half tore
her in his frenzyygfrom the Brute's
grasp, cutting and slashing at them
both with his wicked knife

He thrust her savagely into the pit
Once more theaBrute caught her-and
in so doing swung the, three of them
around, so that their positions were
reversed. Ponto, throwing caution to
the winds, kept lunging at the two
with his sharp weapon. ~
I'll get you both," he yelled, "Ill
get you both"
A moment later he was clawing at
the air-but it was too late Making
frantic struggle to preserve his bal
ance, he tottered over backward.
There was the crash of heavy body
falling-a tearing, thudding sound-a

CHAPTER IL.
The Jauuar's Mate

A lieutenant from the battleship
Missouri clapped Neal on the shoul-
der.
WELL he said, 'ensign, we're still
following your girl. Pleasant occu-
patton for you, en-
Looks as if I'd do it all my Hfe,'
said Neal, but some day l hope to
catch up to her"
The officers we're in charge of a
small squad OF men who had landed
at Santa Maria in Lower California,
under orders from Washington, and
under advices from the United States
district attorney in California. They
were on the track of coaling station

treaty with a girl. The girl was
here-somewhere.
Hello" said Neal, look. There's

boys-get it, double quick
Three of the squad caught the
horse and brought it to Neal.
"A woman's saddle" said Neal. His
heart was in his throat. Look" He
drew from the pommel an object that
had caught there-one of a pair OF
woman's gloves.
'Annette's,'' he cried, something
has happened"
Forward, double quick" command
ed the lieutenant Well see."
At the hotel they found Mrs. Har-
din and Joe, gazing anxiously off to-
ward the mission. Neal caught his
mother by the arm.
Annette" he cried, I'VE caught her
horse. Where is she?"
They told the story Of her starting
out,
Not a moment to lose,' exclaimed
Neal, come on boys-hurry all you
can"
Meantime at the mission, Herman
dez and Inez-with full confidence in
Ponto's ability to delay the advent of
Annette-had once more presented
themselves before Brother Anselmo.
I'VE have been patient, father"
said Hernandez, land we trust that
prayer-and sleep-have given you
wisdom and enlightenment, and salts
fed you of the justice of our claim"
"Ah, you speak truth, son." said
Brother Anselmo. g He rose and left
the room. returning Immediately with
the iron box containing the documents
in question. He set it down upon the
table"
There was a hubDub outside in the
courtyard In the midst OF it door
was thrust open, and the Brute strobe
in, carrying Annette in his arms-An-
nette,, still only ssemiconscious-still
suffering from the shock of that writh-
ing figure at the bottom of the jaguar
trap back there in the desert. Some
instinct had led the Brute back to his
master. He laid the figure of Annette
upon the table with the air of one who
has done his duty well. j.

he saw, The jungle's edge came
