C cen im The chief, whose favor Vilak ;ron by a gift of jewelry, said in answer to Reluctantly Vilak decided to abanâ€" don them, shift as many of their burâ€" dens as possible onto human shoulâ€" ders, and for the rest, live on the country. Two days after they had so decided they came upon a tribe of dwarfed blackish Indians, almost pyg&â€" mies, who lived in the branches of trees or in mere windbreaks which they hastily constructed wherever they might be. s ‘clean, whotbeue SPared to have it .dun.wholuonemdfnubw Day after day they went on unâ€" interruptedly througt the tangle of grim, towering trees, always with the feeling that they were being watched, followed. Soon the increasing density of the underbrush made traveling exâ€" tremely difficlut for the remaining mules, which, on the point of exhausâ€" tion, were now mere breathing skeleâ€" tons through the ravages of tiny wing. ed and crawling parasites. \ QuauTY As they traveled the three friends conversed little, the humid heat of the jJungle and their steady, unflagging pace consuming all the energies of Elise and the old man. To their astonishment, Vilak quietâ€" ly replied that he and his friends were at liberty to depart any time they liked; further, that their departure would delight him. At dawn the expedition split, the five mutineers sullenly going back in the direction from which they had come, while the three whites and the silent Indian guide, who after some vaccilation had refused to join in the rebels‘ councils, tramped on toward‘ the west. , ; _ ..\ it Made of pure mater. The murmuring among the men inâ€" creased. When the cook was preparâ€" ing supper the other albino shuffled forward to Vilak, and announced that he and his fellows would go no farâ€" ther. It was certain death for all of them if they proceeded, he mumbled. Everyone except foolish white men knew that the country which they were approaching was haunted; the closer they came to it, the tighter the evil spell was woven about them. He and the other natives had decided to turn back. He dragged the prisoner roughly back to the camp, kept him under strict guard, then at dawn when the expedition started on its way again slackened his bonds so that his feet were free and put him at the head of the train, where the wasps and fire ants were apt to be most irritatinz and the dangers from the pararaca and deadly coral snake greatest. Much as Vilak wished it, no jararaca struck him. Instead, one of the negroes, through carelessness in crossing a swamp, was bitten by a loathsome sovt of copperhead and died before an antiâ€" toxin could be administerea. The last tragedy deepened the gloom which had begun like a cloud to overâ€" hang the travelers. "Nothing except to cut his finger so that the blood would draw the piranhas and make them attack us. If you know anything about their characteristics you know that blood makes them perfectly mad. If we had waited a few minutes longer they‘d have come in swarms and torn us to pieces."

Vilak, Elise‘s cousin and guardian, believes that Gagord‘ Prentiss is mg)uible. Vilak, Elise, and Lincoln Nunnally, an elderly chemist, rescue Prentiss from being murdered by the natives. The next day Tinky, Elise‘s orphaned baby neâ€" mw, is stolen. Natives have seen ntiss with a white child, and Vilak forms an expedition to penetrate the ISSUE No. 32â€"‘ Jungie Breath CHAPTER XXXVII Ben Lucien Burman At daylight they renewed their efforts until Vilak decided that they could afford to look no longer. They "Either he‘s lost in the thicket or he‘s chosen to disappear for his own purposes," Vilak grunted. "Almost certainly the latter, for he‘s one of the few men I‘ve met who really know the jungle: However, we‘ll look in The setting sun swiftly put an end to the search. Long into the night, they sat by the fire shouting and shooting their rifles to guide the other back to the camp. They separated to approach it from two sides; Vilak killed it with a weilâ€" placed bullet. Striding back to the camp, he rejoined Elise and the old man. The guide did not return. Vilak and the others began to beat the brush. \ _ "Incidentally, if we keep on going west this way, we ought to be getting out of the jungle onto the uplands pretty quickly and probably see some Inca ruins. We‘re heading straight for the Andes plateau, and they weren‘t confined to that narrow area by any means. They were tco vigorous and too colonizing a people. They were spreading out tremendously when the Spanish came and put a sudden end to their empire." { Another week they traveled through the gloomy, unbroken forest. Then they lost their last native adherent. They had seen a jaguar lurking in the underbrush as they were about to pitch their camp; Vilak and the Inâ€" dian guide had gone out to stalk it to preven: the animal from springing upon them while they slept. indirectly through the Incas, whose civilization was undoubtedly an Orienâ€" tal one, possibly Egyptian. "Certainly that‘s where these fire legends came from, for the Incas had the most elaborate fireâ€"worship ritual the world has ever known. "Even a tribe in such a low state of development as this one. This chief, too, told the story about the man who walked through the fire and beâ€" came a god. These men probably got the Oriental traces in their culture "More proof that there is a proâ€" nounced Oriental infl.ence all through the Indians," Vilak: said to Nunnally as they sat by the fire. He continued until his shrill, piping voice grew weary, bade the visitors good night and slowly climbed up into the trees, the other men and women following, leaping from limb to limb and liana to liana with all the dexâ€" terity of monkeys. The newcomers sat around it to eat birds eggs and a large sort of squirrel. Their hunger satified, the women danced, then the chief folded his legs under him, and like Bagarundi, began to tell the heroic legends of his race. It was Detto Cicerone. He lay ward sign of a wound or bruise on As the sun disappeared, and the cool damp night enveloped the jungle, the chief took two pieces of wood, and rubbing them together while his folâ€" lowers murmured a dismal ceremonial chant, kindled a fire. The old chief shuddered, closed his ferretâ€"like eyes, and did not answer. Vilak pointed toward the setting sun. "Other Indian tell ine, whits man, no good there. What there?" "Where you white mon go?*" he grunted in thick Guarany. â€" the other‘s question that he had heard from a neighboring chief how strange men had passed that way not long before.

In a few moments he had reached a rocky outâ€" crop a few feet higher than the genâ€" eral level of the path. He stopped short.

They hadl trampâ€" ed cautiously down the valley for only three or four miles, when Vilak noâ€" ticed that the carranchos over them had suddenly ceased their listless fAlyâ€" ing and were concentrating over a spot in the road about half a mile‘ ahead. "This is obviously the devil valley Bagarundi warned us of," Vilak grunted as he stood on a high rock and looked down on the wide vista spread before him. ‘And that extinct volâ€" cano is undoubtedly the red mounâ€" tain." He took some betel. "We‘ll know in a little while whether he had any real reason to be afraid. Keep to the centre of the path. Remember that. Keep to the centre of the path. Our lives may depend upon it." 4‘ treeless, except for a few bare outâ€" croppings of rock being alm»st entireâ€" ly covered by continuous matted stretches of cactu, and the other thorny plants which occurred on the plateau. Swarms of purple butterâ€" flis drifted lazily over the tops of the green vegetation. Here, tov, carranâ€" chos wheeled lazily in the sky. Another day and a half brought them to the foothills. The trail dropâ€" ped sharply into a long mountainâ€" girded valley which led like a highway built by giants to the great red heap in the distance. It was practically "Looks like an extinct volcano," said Vilak, pointing to it. "This whole western part of the continent is volâ€" canic. Undoubtedly why they have so many earthquakes. This one doesn‘t look as if it compared in size with Chimborazo, but it must have been a good one in its day." Some were short and jagged, reâ€" sembling great red icicles; others were long and rolling like huge dunes of vermillion sind. Over the highest, coneâ€"shaped and looking rather like the upper half of an enormous pear, drifted a thin black cloud. pushed on. The next day the jungle began to lessen perceptibly. The trees . became fewor and smaller, the trail | they were following became a narrow but wellâ€"beaten path. Soon the jungie was behind them, and they were on a wide rocky plateau covered here and there with dwarfed palmâ€"trees with leaves like knives, or patches of spiny ' cactus and thickets of thistles and‘ thorns. Great vultureâ€"like carranchos circled in the sky, hopefully searching for some dying bushâ€"deer which would soon provide them with a sumptuous meal; tiny gossamer spiders drifted everywhere on their /ne webs. Mounâ€" tains showed dimly in the distance. The trail led toward them. They pitched camp on a wide red rock which formed part of a low bluff rising from the plain, delighted to be in the open once more. Two days later the mountains were much nearer. With a little straining of their eyes they could now distinguish the different peaks and ranges, all of the same brilâ€" liant red which had characterized the rock about Porto Ve.de.
