His grasp frightened and he called
on his strength and weight. The
Americans hand yielded an inch;
then the larger man felt the opposi-
ton of the muscles which had rebent
the steel bar. The bodies of the two
men were motionless. Only the parted
lips, the breath painting between
clenched teeth, and the strained liga-
ments in their throats betrayed their
intense physical effort.
Seconds heightened slowly into min
utes. Curtiss heard scuffing sound
from where Jose was lying, but he
dared not turn his head. Another min
ute - another. Still a spectator would
not have seen either man move.
Then sweat suddenly beaded the
Germans forehead as his great
strength yielded to greater strength

John knew, nor asked how he knew
that the next few seconds would de-

had said she trusted him were to llv(

strength he swung the edge of hi
hand against Meinhardt's neck, jusi
below the ear. The German went dow
like pole-axed steer and John whirled
to face Jose.
No DANGER threatened from thai
direction. Gomez was still huddled Of
the floor and Mercedes was crouched
beside him. The point of the knife wa]

Have you killed Meinhardt, Dol

She was an American. but not over

had sustained the men and women O
that land through years of invasion
and terror, through the reign of tht
bestial tyrant Lopez, through poverty
