 She and Barry joined the two monta6ores who stood in the sun near the boiling kettles giving their report to Renaldo They were powerful, ugly-looking natives, looking more like exhausted, lthfy animals than men after their long, grueling tussle with the jungle.
 Renaldo turned to greet Barry with a smile. sounds like we've got a fair-sized grove from what they say" he said. his voice ring ing with satisfaction.
 "Isn't 1t thrilling?" Allison cried. ITO just go out and dis cover your orchard?"
 Thrilling maybe, but tough, unused Barry as the two monta- doreS, now dismissed, moved heavily off toward their estancias, His gaze returned to the girl be- side him. Her violet eyes were wide and shining.
 That's it." she was whisper ing. That's the jungle. Thrill ing - and tough. You can scream your head of, but you can't faze it. You have to fight every min ute for your life"
 Barry's mouth dropped open in amazement. Why, you scrappy title varmint," he said. Renaldo laughed, but the lcok he turned on Allison was pure de- votion. "She understands the jungle" he said.
 Allison caught Barry's arm with sudden change of mood. Come on," she cried jubilantly. "You're going to see my zoot caps" She walked quickly down the wide trail striped with yellow sunlight and deep shadow that led to the closest group of zapote trees. But. though sch chattered gaily, Barry noted her hand rested lightly on the small gun in the holster Slung about her slender hips, and her eyes kept alertly on the path ahead.
 She broke of to answer his un- spoken question. "Bushmasters. :" she said shortly. "Renaldo says they're the meanest snakes in the jungle. They'll find a path that's used often and lie in wait all day for a victim
 T know" Barry agreed. But you mean you've learned to shoot that gun already?"
 You can learn fast when you have to-" she laughed.
 They had come to the group of zapote trees and stopped to watch the native chiclero slashing zig- gag gash down the length of the zapote trunk. Barry found he was seething with sudden anger over the girls statements.
 Look here" he protested, as she waited for the chiclero to de-

 | She didn't answer, and he prod ded, Do you?"
 She shrugged then and locked up at him, confusion and laughter both in her eyes. You don't have to do anything she murmured, including live. But you find yourself in the midst of something you want to go on with for a while. never know why. But it doesn't matter does 1t? It keeps it all pretty fascinating" She broke of to point with ecite-X meni. Now you can see the zoot cap"
 The chiclero was almost at the foot of the tree. He wore sharp leg irons to dig in and hold him- self upright against a rope looped around himself and the tree. He was naked except for loin cloth and white hood with visor which I tied under his chin. Barry sup pressed a laugh at the startling combination.
 "Is that bonnet supposed to be thing of beauty?" he asked.
 Certainly not" snapped Alli- son. She called the native to low. CT his head, and pointed trium- phantly at stains on the visor. ''Poisoa drippings from the com- padre tree" she said. Some of those drops might have gone in his eyes. Later on. I'm going to see if I can send for some goggles. Meanwhile" she added proudly. the sides of the cap protect his ears from that nasty insect that lives in the top of the zapote tree"
 The chiclero had reached the ground. Another Indian was hang ing a canvas bag to a peg driven at the bottom of the zlgzag gash, and the chicle was already flowing along the jagged cuts.
 Lady, said Barry, you come right after the grand canyon. Now if you'd use a little of your in. genuity to make a little sense out of your own plans"
 She brushed a bright tumble of hair back with the back of her hand ard gave him an impish Esnile. Don't worry about my I plans, my iine-teathered friend she murmured. Just be on your sIasd." She turned sharply and started back thlougn the muddy path toward the estarcia, leaving Barry grinnlng helplessly aftel her.

MONTADORES CHAPTER XVI

His fever had once more miracu- iouslw disappeared during the night. Barry woke to the golden fragrance nf d tropic morning feeling weak but clear-headed. He lay listening Co the loud chatter of macawS. par rots and the thousand and one varieties of birds that flashed their bright hues about the estancia.
 Good morning. lazy bones!" z Allison was in his doorway There was a bright light Of eagerness in her as she carried in his tray, laughter in her voice. she spread his napkin for him and touched her small hand lightly to his forehead.
 rYou're flne," she said with ma lfcfous joy. No excuse for not coming out and helping initiate my zoot caps"
 sWhat are you talking about?' Barry frowned as he drank his pineapple juice. She stood be- aide him laughing, her golden hair m ragged auricle about her heart shaped face whose whiteness had now disappeared under a honey tan.
 Meet me out in the clearing and you'll see." she taunted.
 Barry drank his coffee and ate khe two eggs with relish this morning. He felt stronger than he had for long time and a surge of fresh hope went through him. Maybe he had thrown the fever for Q real loss this time. He gut up and put on the clothes laid out for him and went out of the es- fancia.
 It was a large matched house on stilts with a broad veranda. from which could be seen the half dozen smaller shacks of the chi cIcrOs and the wide clearing that surrounded the massed eStancias. On every side crouched the vi- hrant green lush jungle waiting to devour the puny resistance of mans efforts against 1t.
 Barry made his way unsteadily down the broad steps of the es- fanscla and crossed the sun- washed, muddy clearing toward the boiling kettles. Allison saun- tered to meet him.
 '"rhe montadores came in this morning" she reported breath lessly.
 ~Alontadores?" Barry puzzled.
 
 Her eyes twinkled with mischief. aMontadores are our chicle scouts, tenderfoot."
 'sxes, my calluoSed chiclero," Barry retorted meekly.
 ''You set," Gbe explained. Its uegy naughty of them, but zapote trees don't grow all in oen place. Co live their lives."
 eLike you," jeered Barry.
