first then crossed himself with hOr-
ror, and tumbled on. From behind
arose a distant call and he remem-
bered the vision end he had glimp-
sed but refused to see In the Mir
ror Of the World and wondered II
this end was near upon him
Yet IL had not resembled this
place Of trees and forms and jungle.
From the glimpse he remembered
nothing Of vegetation-only solid
rock and blazing sun and bones OF
animals. Hope sprang up afresh in
the thought. Perhaps that end was
not for this day, maybe not for the
wear. Who knew? Twenty years
might yet pass ere that end came.
Emerging from the Jungle he
came upon a queer ridge Of what
looked like a disintegrated lava
rock. Here he left no trail and he
proceeded carefully on beyond It
through further jungle, believing
once again in his starIthat would
enable him to elude pursuit. His
plan Of escape took shape. He
could find a safe hiding place until
after dark. Then he would circle
back to the lake and the whirl OF
waters. That gained, nothing and

TO leap in.
The subterranean journey had no
terrors for him because he had done
il before and in his fancy he saw
once more the pleasant picture Of
the Gualaca river flashing under
the open sky on fits way to the sea.
Besides, did not he carry with him
the two great emeralds and two
great rubies that had been the eyes
Of China and HZatzl2
Fortune enough, and vast good
fortune, were they for any man.
What II he had failed by the Maya
treasure to become the richest man
in the world? He was satisfied.
All he wanted now was darkness
and one last dive into the heart Of
the mountain and through the heart
Of the mountain to the Gualaca
flowing TO the sea.
And Just then. the assured vision
Of his escape so vividly filling his
eyes that he failed to observe the
way Of his foot, he dived.
Nor was IL a dive into the swirl
ing waters. It was a head fore
most, dry-land dive down a slope
of rock. So slippery was IL that he
continued to slide down, although
he managed to turn around with
face and stomach to the surface and

feet Such effort merely slowed his
descent, but could not stop it.
For a while, at the bottom, he lay
breathless and dazed. When his
senses came back to him he became
aware first of all Of something un'
usual upon WHICH his hand rested
He could have sworn that he fell
teeth. At length, opening his eyes
with a shudder and summoning his
resolution, he dared to look at tho
object. And relief was immediate
