One of the priests swiftly tattooed t'. rec teeth-like triangles upon his forehead, then a thin, black line around his neck. The Indian with the enormous nose came forward carrying a great knife, looked at the tattooing on the forehead, passed the back of his knife experimentally about the neck- line, then nodded approvingly. The tattooer put away his instruments.

Nunnally noticed that each grim tro- phy bore the same tattooed triangles which had marred Prentiss' forehead, while a tattooed line circled each shrunken neck just above the point where it had been severed.

D'Albentam stood at the that. A dance was begun. I I71 Homesicknes-And a Cure! Soon the court was deserted except for the four captives on the stones and the solitary soldier standing guard. A tttture came creeping toward Vilak, then scuttled back into the sha- dows. The baby began to ery; ceased The ceremonies ceased for 'he night. Batalagos and D'Albentara disappear- ed. The crowd began_to melt away. Again the omens were consulted. They decreed that Prentiss and the child should be seaerifieed at not n when the sun was at its highest. Another dance wag begun, another pantomime. In it D'Albentard took part. He shook hands in un-Indian-like fashion with a gaunt native who was wearing Pren- tiss grimy linen coat. Much running and stalking through imaginary bush- es followed. "I think we've seen something of Prentiss' recent history," Vilak mut- tered to the old man. He strode off. A few moments later Batalagos rose pom: ously from his stone seat, waited until the seething worshipper before him had become silent, then granted a short oration. He clapped his hands. A litter was brought in again and put down near the altar. A great shout went up from the spectators. A man was lifted from the litter and put down on one of the stones. "There's Prentiss," grunted Vilak. A moment later as the priest took another figure from the litter, he added quietly: "and there's Titiky.” Suddenly a figure dashed from the pavilion. It was Elise. But she was permitted to run only a few feet. Two guards snatched her. She was carried back to the pavilion, then off into the darkness. Pour natives, carrying hollowed reeds and gourds of different sizet, began a shrill whistling and noisy rat- tling intended to be music. They ceased their discordant labors. D'AI- bentara approached Vilak. "All goes well, amigos'."' he murmured. Vilak did not answe'. The Portuguese shrugged his shoul- ders. "You will not epeak with me, cavalhiero? Ah, if so it must be, so then it must be. You think Chat Carlos D’Albentara is cruel, do you not, cav- alhiero? That he loves blood like the vampire bats who fly in the night. Yet is this not so. Not 30. Rather does he hate blood, hate death. They are like Mud, like wounds upon the face ot a beautiful woman. They make life not pretty. Though he must cause you to die in the same way and do other things which may be yet more evil, it is not because he so wishes. No. It it always because of this miser- able . . ."

ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO Vilak drew a quick breath. With a jagged fragment of the vessel he had just broken he began sawing at the thongs which bound his wrists. The edge. was no keener than a dull knife. But even a dull knife cuts vigorously with pressure behind it; soon a thin gap appeared halfway through the tough leather. The shadowy figure crept torward once more, once more vanish ai. Vilak lay motionless, silent. Again his eyes became slanted eyes like a Chinese philosopher. Again the thin film likea bird's inner eyelid crept out from the corners to half cover the iull pupils. Suddenly the clay wine-bowl at his side cracked and fell noisily to the ground. The soldier came running; muttered a curse. A priest swiftly brought another bowl, and returned to the templn from which he had come. quickly. Vilak eraned his head to see it. He could not.
