 Tn the days of my fathers when We made prisoner of II man like you We staked him out on the red ants nest or bound him in the red strips of rnwhide. Then he suffered until his soul went squealing like rat Into the darkness of the hereafter.

 Under pretense of working. Gnu went to the house and secured the lariats and the two started for the volcano brink, Making a mask of his handkerchief against the smoke and steam. Tomas lowered himself where the hurdle had plunged. and on the slope found pieces of frayed rope and bits of the hurdle. Then he followed the stream to where 1t disappeared underground. and decided Dick and his friends must have escaped that way and that the river had an out let.

Then he happened to he watching his own and the neigh borhood youngsters playing school. His own seven-yearold wished to be teach CT. but was always turned down be- cause of his youthful age. Finally when his protests had become pitiful. one of the older children said "Why. you can be Mir. T., the new super visor. John. Then you can visit our room"
 John left the room. and when he re-entered came as the new supervis- or. And how he did come, He slap ped one child. shook another. and shook his fist at the third. Then the school board member laughed. "He surely doesn't do that way" he said to them.

power. If l had it 10 do over again it would be Scarface and Scrcweye. who were taking this ride instead of us. But We have the satisfaction of knowing that we did not show the white feather and are dying game. :"
 Dick, gla~'ing back over the way which they lad slid. saw the priest and Scarface peering down at them over the ledge from which they had been showed. Already the snmes of the pit below were winding around them in wreaths, filling their eyes and lungs and causing their brcaths to come in wheezing gnSps. Then all of sudden Dicks heart gave great bound of relief. Sliding over the lava bed. the hurdle slowed pereeptibly as if tipped toward the crater. and Dick. who never despaired of life. was able to burst the ropes at hls wrists. frayed by contact with the sharp lava Grasp q rock he held back the hurdle and at the same time. released Stebbins who quickly freed the others.
 At the left was continuation of the slope. to where the steam from the volcano ran off into small stream, and in this they launched the hurdle and were swept from the scene Their sense of relief. however. was quickly changed to alarm, for dead ahead was cave, into which the stream of hot water disappeared in darkness beneath the mountains. They discussed their predicament briefly, then Dick made the decision:
 "The old sailor of whom spoke who was shipwrecked upon this coast, told me other things that he had learned of these Aztees and this par ticular part of the country. He got this story from the Indians, who firm ly believed that it was true. Of course it may be myth, but l will repeat if to you and you can decide for yourselves.
 "These Indians told him that there had long been a legend in tAeir tribe hat in ancient days one of their mem bers had been captured and condemned Q death even as was done to us. The members of the Aztec tribe who sen enced him bound him to mat and ,ent him over this slide and in some way he was precipitated into a river

IL seemed as though no mortal power could save them. Below them yawned the frightful crater of boil ing lava and deadly breath. and into this inferno they were slipping as q raft goes down rapids. Neither coolness of judgment nor physical strength could avail them here, for the clements into which they were so soon to be plunged would strangle and wither them as furnace does moths, leaving no vestige of their Charred bones as an evidence of the fact that they had ever existed, There would be a sudden leap into the throat of the crater. a moment of writhing in the boiling mass and choking sulphuric gases, then would come eternal obllv. ion and their ashes would be mingled with the molten flow. Even Dick. who uever said die, nearly lost hope as his mind flashed over the situation. With a sad smile he turned to Polly,
 Looks as though we were up against it this time, doesn't 1t. old girl?" he said as he looked into her clear eyes and thought how well life would be worth living with her at his side tn- dauntedly the brave girl answered him:
 Never mind. Dick, dear. We have loved each other, and II Is better to have loved and lost than never 10 have loved at all. And we have the con Solation of knowing that If We are going to our deaths, at least We are going there side by side through no fault of our own and without Nlr.
