"Then, discouraged by the lack of success in their schemes to get money from Elsie. they decided to abandon her in their plans, and follow up the information they had gained.

Consequenly he and the child were thrown into prison to await a more tavonhlo moment. “Prentiss was I. scientist, who had steadfastly mnintained that it was a bad plan for " archeologist to inter- fere in local politics.

He darted forward, knock- ed one ot the priests domt-he was quite husky then- and seized the baby in his arms. "Prentiss went.

He had plenty of enemies, particularly among those natives here who prob. ably had considerable Inca blood in tthem and certainly came of good stock. naturally, they bitterly resented har. ing a mongrel like Bataiagos over them.
