He led Hernandez to the center OF
the village.
With 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,

burning brands and in the twinkling

the air.
Hernandez drew back. The flame
was hot. 1t grew hotter as he
watched. In few moments it was a
seething. roaring furnace
Hernandez stood with folded arms.
The high priest swooped down upon
him and denounced him in witheriag
jargon Hernandez knew what it
meant. 1t meant that they were to
go.

But Hernandez did not run, for sud
denly the cguntenance of thes high
priest had changed. A crafty smile
spread over his leathery old face.
Ponto followed his glance. At the
other end of the clearing with ray
of sunshine full upon her crouehed
Annette Ilington.
Without removing his glance from
the girl the high priest touched Her
nandez on the arm and spoke in high
shrill accents.
What does he say? demanded
Hernandez of Ponto.
Ponto shivered. HE says re-

the brute seized Annette and held her

Hernandez and his two companions
reached the tree. They accommodated.
Above him In the swaying branches,
all ignorant of the group below, Neal
wigwagged his signals toward the
Albany. His heart leaped within him,
for the Albany wigwagged in return.
She was doing m0re--she was sending
off her fastest launch shoreward,
crowded to the gunwale with marines
marines who knew their business.
Below Hernandez smiled a diaboli-
cal smile. He was watching, not Neal,
but the swaying of the tree.
Look" he said to Ponto, "see how
these roots tug at this scant earthern
covering. She is tree growing on a
rock. She totters. And she is more
than a tree growing on a rock-she
grows on the edge of a cliff. Beast,

Ponto told him, emphasizing his
commands with the ever-ready whip.
The brute obeyed. He set his snoui-
