Bruce found themselves forced to
put up terrific fight at the temple
entrance. The temple was full of
traps and pitfalls, which they tried
to operate, but they proved as dam
gerous for friend as for foe and
had to be abandoned. The dead
Hest of these was trapdoor which
dropped the victim into a pit Of
horrible knives and spears.
Bruce fought off his assailants
and managed to make his way into
the temple, but without their vali-
ant American leader Bak's forces
lost heart and, outnuhlbered by the
temples guards, retreated. Within
the temple, Bruce found his sweet

Bruce and Ruth thought they had

away, BUT a net was hurled through
the air and they were enmeshed In

Captain x then realized that the
only thing that could save both
Bruce and Ruth from the vengeance
of the High Priest was the return
of Ezra Hawkins. Earlier in the
day he had seen Slim Morgan on
the streets and, aroused by Nor
gan's suspicious actions, followed
him. AS he half expected, Morgan
joined Hawkins. Listening at the
door, he heard Hawkins tell Nor
| gan that if Morgan could get him
away from that accursed island he
would gladly sell his rights to the
| American lava pit to Morgan.
| Morgan warned Hawkins, if he
valued his life and safety, to stay
hidden until arrangements were
made for his passage on the next
cargo ship sailing for America.
Captain x fastened to Hawkins
hiding place, feeling certain that
he had not yet been moved there
from by Morgan. Hawkins was
easily captured by Captain X, the
long months of his confinement in
the temple cell having sapped his
strength, and conducted in great
haste to the temple
In the meantime, Ruth and Bruce
fought off their enemies with all
/ the fierce desire of healthy youth
to live. But their case was utterly
hopeless. Not only were they out
numbered, but they could not hope
to find their way through the maze
of underground corridors that

A few minutes later Ruth and
Bruce, hand in hand, stood at the
entrance door to the temple and
looked about them at the warm

substitute is passed by the legisla-

New York will become null and void,
representatives of the Workers

out that the joker would create a
medical board of three physicians,
whose decision would be final.
"Sillicosis is lung disease pre-
valent in certain dusty trades, and
often leading to tuberculosis" these
organizations declare. "The effect Of
the joker would be to nullify the

worker would be denied the right of
