to the leader. "We go west at once
and with our prisoners"
1t takes the trained eye OF a native
to know trail when he meets one
in the well-nigh impossible jungles of
Dolores. The United States marines,
little squad of % men, were begin
ming to realize this fact. For an hour
they followed blind trail after blind
trail, only to retrace their steps to a
given starting point.
Never mind" said their officer.
They're up there and we'1 get them,
and then"
He stopped. A shower Of dirt and
small stones spattered on his head.
The officer looked up. Above him
lowered a cliff, and half way to the
top of this cliff there ran a narrow
ledge-a mountain pass. The officer
ducked, for there was another shower
of dirt and gravel. Then he caught
sight of a donkey's tail swishirg out
over the precipice.
i've got the TRAIL" he said, "and a
good trail it is, for it leads here-here
to our very feet"
He was quite right. Some three
quarters of an hour later Inez and her
small party passed that very spot-a
spot now deserted.
Suddenly twenty-five American ma
rines with drawn bayonets sprang
from the jungle as by magic and sur
rounded them.
Inez, excellent actress, breathed an
audible sigh OF relief. AT last" she
said, I'VE have found you"

at the half-dozen insurrectos wearing
uniforms.

Inez.
These" said Inez. with a wave of
her hand, ARE Dolores regulars who
have befriended us, and we are three
Americans, and one of us is sick. 1t
Is for her that we seek refuge"
He strobe swiftly to the side of Mrs.
Hardin. She was swaying helplessly
from side to side In the saddle of her
donkey, supported by two insurrecto
escorts.
Meal, Neal" she cried.
Inez dismounted and approached the
officer. "She has the fever" she ex-
claimed, land she raves in her speech
all the time, lieutenant; she makes up
names-all kinds of names"
There are other Americans in the
mountains?" he queried.
Inez opened wide her eyes and
shook her head. 1--WE saw none, sill"
she said.
The ensign pondered. "This woman
needs immediate attention. Take her
to the launch and thence to the AL
bany." He bowed to Inez and beck
oned to Joe Welcher. "You two must
go along" he said soberly.

gates of the walled city were open and
the walls bristled with armored Aztec
warriors. The marines fixed their bay.

Suddenly, however, Neal held UP his
hands. Listen" he exclaimed. From
the unseen waters beyond there was
the boom of gun.

His squad halted. 1t was we'll they
did. Through the open gate they
could see the sun gods demoniacal

the red glare of the affairs flames.
Across the strip of jungle they could
hear the boom-boom of the gun.
Neal slapped his thigh with inv.
He's got the range already, boys" he
cried. wait. Look-look-look."
With mighty shout of triumph the
marines leaped into the air yelling like
demons themselves. They had good
cause, for the gunner on the Albany

had planted an exploding shell in the

sun god and his temple, amid shrieks
from hundred throats-burst into

CHAPTER xxxVl.
.Corazon del Sol.

|
After a 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 ewo 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
| a 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 a 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-
lions 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. lie in his turn stared
| speechiessly at them.
But they had seen more than he had.
They had caught glimpse through
that gateway of q mass of leaping,
twisting fame, and they knew it for
the thing it was.
! An hour later, painting, breathless,
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.

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.
81 am of Aztec blood myself" he said.
81 have heard of this lost tribe. have
heard of this city of Corazon del Sol.
Many assume it to be a 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 a town surrounded by wall and
that it's population never increases"
He smiled grimly. What human be-
| ings it does not need, it feeds to the
| Heart of the Sun-the flame"
"Jt will feed all of us to the flame, !"
cried the scouts. eve must go back

Hernandez leered. "Ponto," he said,
''in front of us, according to these in
surrectos, is a fiery furnace with a mil
lion foes. Behind us, camping on our
trail somewhere. is handful of Ameri-
can marines. Which do you choose?"
Forward" said Ponto, ito the fiery
furnace. Deliver me from a handful
of marines"

CHAPTER XxxvII.
The ANGER of a God.

Within the walls of Corazon del Sol
there lived a god. He didn't know he
lived-he was quite ignorant of his
own existence. If he had ever lived
he would have died from ugliness.
But there were those who knew he
lived. They were the inhabitants of
this ancient Aztec village-Corazon
del Sol, the Heart of the Sun. They
knew he lived, because periodically
and quite persistently he demanded
flesh.
Just now he stared straight before
him through the gates of the crum-
bling walls. The high priest followed
his glance.
Suddenly the high priest started and
held high his hand. A group Of Aztec
warriors answered the summons. In
crude uneven order this crowd rushed
through the gates and stood at bay.
Across the clearing was another group

The high priest spoke-uttering I'm.

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 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

The Brute, cringing In his turn, half
fell, half shuffled out OF the cell, fol
lowed by Hernandez raining blows
upon his back.
Hours passed. Suddenly an omi.
nous whisper spread through the fort
"a whisper Of apprehension. There
was much hustle.
During an interval Of comparative
quiet there was waited into the range
of Meals hearing the one word
"Americanos." Then with two sue
cessive clangs the cell doors, Neal s
and Annette's, were flung back.
They were bound and once more
blindfolded. Then, each in the CEN
ter of an ample escort, they stumbled,
plunged and staggered once more

Hernandez, white with rage, thrust

the edge of the cliff shaking his
clenched hand impotently at the brute.

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 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 packet that
lay at her feet. She uttered a little
cry of recognitiOn-and with good
cause.
1t 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 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

the terror he inspired, "and you shall
be destroyed. Behind me is fire, sud
den death. We have many thousand
warriors. We have an Unsuitable god.
We brook no strangers-we tolerate
no enemies. You are an enemy, you
and yours. Go, and go at once"
eve are not enemies" returned Her
nandez. 1--WE are travelers-weary
travellers. We have lost our way. We
need rest and food. To turn back now
means death"
The high priest shrugged his shout
ders. Follow me-" he said.
He turned and passed between the
divided group of warriors and entered
the gate.
Hernandez followed, entering the
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 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. 1t
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
seething, roaring furnace.
Hernandez stood with folded arms.
The high priest swooped down upon
him and denounced him in w1tnerlng
iargon. Hernandez knew what 1t
meant. It meant that they were to go.
"Ponto," he cried, come here"
Ponto, quivering, crept through the
double line of Aztec warriors anu
through the gate. Hernandez Jerked
his head toward the priest.
Tell him." said Hernandez, that
he must take us in"
Ponto obeyed. He began to plead
in his oiliest accents. The high priest
was firm. Once again he held up his
hand and from every hut IN the IN
closure there sprang forth another
group of warriors.

for your life"
But Hernandez did not run, for sud-
denly the countenance Of the high
priest had changed. A crafty smile
spread over his leathery old face. Pom

end of the clearing with ray or sun
shine full upon her crouched Annette

without removing his glance from
the girl the high priest touched her

shrill accents.

turned Ponto, ''the sun god is angry.

CORNELL ROWING CREW
 SURINGS INNOVATIONS

Corenll University oarsmen have been out anotherns4. .oituercshrdlun been trying out another rowing inno- vation in training which is reported to work very successfully. It is noth- ing more than an adoption of the mir TOT system used during the indoor training season. It consists of bright silver disk, which is fastened to the oar handle in such manner as to be parallel with the blade. In connection with the disk is cleat which prevents the oar handle from being gripped ex- cept in one way. As a result the oars man. by glancing at the disk, can. see the exact position of the sweep blade during any portion of the stroke. It is said that thede has been a decided improvement in the uniformity of the blade work since the installation of the device.
