CITY HAS LONG BEEN DEAD
Tlahuanaco, in Bolivia. Collection Of
Ruins of Which Even the Incas
Knew Nothing.

One of the numerous cities claiming
the title oldest city in the world"
is Tiahuanaco, near Lake Titfcaca in
Bolivia. A thousand years ago, say
the scientists, Tiahuanaco was as dead
as 1t Is today, and that Is practically
all that anybody knows Of its history.
Even the Incas, who hold record for
antiquity in South America. admitted
to their first Spanish visitors that they
knew nothing about Tiahuanaco, ex-
cept that it was very probable that
the stone images scattered over the
ruins were the people of the city turned
into stone by some angry god.
There would be nearly as much of
the old city visible today as there was

modern village of Tiahuanaco, near the
ruins. is full of stolen souvenirs. Whole
houses and churches are built Of them.
After several centuries Of this plum
der the government Of Bolivia put a
ban on removing stones from the ruins.
but there was then little left of old
Tiahuanaco. A few stone gods as
huge and angular as any deities OF
Egypt, the sites of fortress, a palace
and many tombs, all vaguely marked
by worn carved stones are scattered
over great desOla,e plain. Yet from
these battered relics with their cryptic
carvings the psychologists hope some
day to reconstruct the story of mys-
terious people.

wisdom, is one who painfully turns

starts to reach it. He sets out but
falls exhausted on the trail. There
he is found by a man and woman
who are from the ship he was try
ing to reach. Mott, first mate, and
Helen Mackay, a passenger. They
convey him to the vessel. The ship
proves to be a small tramp steamer,

Laynton tells Wallen the vessel had
been chartered by Wallen's father
TO find him, the father knowing his
son to be in grave danger because
Of a long standing feud between the
elder Wallen and notorious pirate,
Ram Gulab Singh. Laynton also
informs him of the death Of his
father. explaining that the fatality
was believed to be an accident.
Wallen instantly associates his IA
theirs death with the Chinaman's
confession on the Upolo. He takes
over the charter Of the vessel and
sail for Singapore. Helen Mackay
explains that she is on a visit to
an aunt in Sumatra. Wallen agrees
to take her there, just touching at
Singapore, where he is determined
TO fathom the mystery of Drink

love with her. While looking over
his fathers papers, which Laynton
had turned over to him, Wallen is
startled By the thrusting of a piece
of paper beneath his cabin door.
On the paper is traced a human
hand from which all but the fore
finger had been hacked away. He
recognizes it as of sinister import,
connected with the death of his ia

the ship, alone, and visits Drink
