What's it about, Nadito?" Trent
asked sharply. why is Pepe crying?
What's the mystery"
You might as well know now"
said Nadito. IF we don't break down,
| expect to catch up with Catuca in
side half an hour"
Great; tut why should he cry
about that?"
He isn't. He's crying because Paca
is with her and Paca is our sister"
You mean =" began Trent and
stopped.
You've guessed it, or perhaps you
haven't. Anyway it's good time to
warn you to leave this game to me.
Make single move on your own. and
you may find yourself in the same pit
with Catuca."
II know I'm in your debt" said
Trent angrily, but not to the tune of
being your trained poodle. Ill do what
Iplease, act as think ought to act"
Try it," said Nadito shortly.
He went into second gear for the
long climb to the fned. Unseen, Pepe
was having another desperate strug-
gle, his conscience against his given
word. But he had given his word
twicei AS they approached the level
vale he reached over, clamped his
palm on the button and sounded the
horn again and again before Nadito
could strike a blow that almost broke
his wrist. Hold him, Trent! Hold
him.
At that moment the roar Of start
ing engine came to their ears, and the
long shafts of headlights poured out
at right angles to their course. The
beam swerved left and rushed upward
into the night. Nadito fastened his
eyes on the red bull's-eye of the tail
light and gave chase. From far ahead
came a fantastic echo - the frenzied
beat of a horses hoofs and wild
whinny. Nadito gave the car gas. 1t

through ruts, groaned but kept on.

changed from loan to shale.

WHAT"
Reach over. Take the gun from

What shall / do with it?"
"It they hit down grade, they
might get away. When We get close,
pick rear tire and puncture it.
Us Kathie in the motor ahead?"
shouted Trent.
Yes" yelled Nadito.
Where does this road go?"
"Over the mountains to a town
called Christ. Shut up and let me
drive"
Trent made up his mind; not for
worlds would he or anybody else shoot
at the risk of hitting Kathie. He
thrust the gun into his pocket. AS it
happened, however, at the top of a
rise, the car in front came to so sudden
halt Nadito couldn't believe it had
actually stopped. Instead of slowing,
he raced on until his headlights warned
him he was probably in for rear-end
collision.
Only both brakes combined with the
upgrade saved him. The occupants OF
the other motor car weren't even
looking back; three of them - all but
the driver - were on their feet, star
ing ahead at a riderless horse sill
houetted against the sky line. Now
they turned to face the glare behind
them - girl and two men.
Il told you nobody was on him!
one of them was crying excitedly.
Pepe shrank still deeper into the
seat, as if trying to hide. Nadito
stepped out, followed by Trent. He
stared at the girl. This wasn't kathie;
Kathie was blonde as Morse maid,
alien to the scene. This girl wore mid

into the weirdly illumined room and
stopped. arrested by the sight of the
Carib's towering figure against the far
wall Shoulders braced and head high,
he stood with one hand outstretched,
flattened back, and the other hidden
behind him. Froth was on his lips and
the pupils of his eyes were like two
shining pin points of jet.

received it in his arm and fell head
long. Almost before Pepe struck the
floor, Carinegro crumpled at the knees
and sank forward, shot through the
heart.
Trent was the first to reach Pepe. =.
He grasped the handle of the knife
and gave it quick pull. Blood fol-
lowed the extraction in a steady flow,
causing him to gasp with relief, as
sured no artery had been severed.
Paca took the boys head in her lap.
She had uttered no cry, but her face
was paper white and tears were rolling
down her cheeks.
Tony had not been idle Selling one
corner of a heavy floor rug. he ran with
it toward the heap of palm fronds and
plowed through the flames. dragging
the rug behind him. Turning. he began
stamping on it and was soon joined by
Antohico and Geromo. In the sudden
darkness Kathleen CROPPED along the
wall, found the light and switched it
on.
Nadito sank on the nearest chair.
How about it, Trent? Is it bad
wound?" he asked in a low voice.
At that moment Pepe opened his
eyes. looked up into Paca's face and
smiled. "Paca," he murmured.
"Pepe," she answered softly, touch
ing his hair with the tips of her fingers.
'Pepito mio, My own little brother,
it's all my fault - cnlba mia, mia
culpa'"
The fire out, Tony ran to kneel at
the boys side.
Where's my knife. Kate?" he
asked.
Kathleen stared in dismay, then re-
membered, plunged her hands in her
brecches pockets and came forward
with the knife Here it is. Tony"
Quickly he slit the seams at the
armhole and drew off the sleeves of
both jacket and shirt. ITS only a

Pick him up. Wen carry him into

Trent lifted Pepe as gently as he
could, Tony helping. They started
down the hall, Paca beside them. Kate
followed, then stopped abruptly. her
eyes wide with the fright of sudden
thought. She hurried forward and
touched Paca's arm.

RIVERS RECEDE
 IN NEW ENGLAND
Floods Have Left Thirteen Dead-UntOld Millions
 in Property Damage

Boston, March 16-UP)-New England flood waters receded to- day, leaving in their wake at least B deaths and untold millions in property damage.
 Though rain or snow was pre- dicted for tonight, observers de- lieved the floods had passed their peak. Portions of many communi- ties, however, may be inundated for weeks, it was indicated, while thousands, thrown out of employ m,nt when rivers flooded factories, will be unable to return to work for at least several days.
 Food and fuel shortages threaten ed several sections of Maine isolated by flooded highways and railroad lines.
 Maine Is Easier
 The flood peril in Maine, chief danger spot, was eased last night when a 20-mile ice jam in the Pen- obscot river broke with a thunder ous road and sent thousands of tons of ice surging down the river. The jam had menaced Bangor, Maines third largest city.
 A similar ice pack in the Connec- ticut river at Mt. Tom junction in western Massachusetts also broke suddenly last night, relieving Holy 6ke, Northampton and other cities and towns. With the passing of the ice mass, some 1000 feet wide, off, cials said most of the Connecticut river was virtually clear of ice.
 New Hampshire reported all riv- CTS receding and little prospect of further flood damage. Threatening ice jams near Concord and Nashua broke yesterday. Nearly all main highways have been reopened.
 Tn Vermont, center of the $l00,- 100000 flood of 1927, rivers were falling to normal levels. Damaged bridges were being repaired.

 London, March 16-UP)-Ger- many raised momentary hope today of her participation in the League Councils discussion of the Rhine land crisis by informing Britain that serious error had been made in translating her reply to the Leagues invitation to join the con- ference.
 Germany said her reply did not demand immediate" discussion of Fuehrer Adolf Hitler's peace propo- sals, but discussion "in due course"
 France, however, dimmed the hope that the mistranslation would alter the situation by preparing to reject Hitler's qualified reply when the council meets this afternoon.
 The German word "Asband," 1t was said, was misinterpreted in the reply which Germany sent to Lon- don yesterday.
 As translated. "Asbald" was given the meaning that Hitler's peace terms must be discussed forthwith. It should have been translated, more suitably, according to the report of
