Chris, with Josellto acting as in terpreter, conversed with tne native, (He stuck to his story of a White Bird God forced - down in Jungle fastnesses who had given him the .watch. But matters went much fur ther; JoseUto found amulets on ithe man which plainly Indicated ..his adherence to a Voodoo cult. This meant that, even if his story were true, Harry Harding might have been tortured or sacrificed by we memoers oi tnat savage tribe. There was only one thing to do, Chris decided; Alma must be kept from following this Voodoo tribes man into the Interior. He must take the risk himself. One morninsr. before davbreak. Chris routed out the native. Josell to explained that the white god- uess wouia follow If his atorv were proved true. And secretly leaving the others, they set out in a birch canoe. For three days and night they pt on, until, paaaiing rouna a river curve, at dusk, they heard the sound of a great war-drum. Josellto whispered that in all llkeli- nooa It belonged to the Voodoo tribe. The man who had guided' uem mere couia no longer be trusted; with & quick blow, Chris rendered him unconscious and tied him n the bottom of the boat Then he and Josellto following ui uroai pounaing, started xor tne jungle camp. As Chris and Josellto watched Breathlessly, the hltrh Driest made gesture and from-a nearby hut our mem emerged, carrying a lib er between them. Startled, Chris raised his binoculars and trained hem on the body which lay on it. Be could make out a white man, trail and with a stubbled beard. Thafs Harry Harding, all right," Chris said grimly. "He looks about gone." ;. f"Sure, that' What I tell you. hey bleed turn alia' time. He not! 5t much blood left" "There must; be some way to save him." Chris suddenly stared at tne cim on tne opposite side or tne camp. "That cliff's) blner than the screen ; of most any theatre." He turned: quickly, "Did you bring that test fumT" - JoseUto nodded.

And the sound track started, car rying Hunter's voice, Josellto plug ged his own small microphone into the loud speaker and began to tell them in their native tongue that a great leader was coming among them. Chris set off the masmeslum flare. The natives began to shout th crowd outside continued madly to dance ana cnant. All' through the night ChrU and his aide stayed on the lob. and as the sun rose in the distance, the former shook bis head. "His pulse is stronger," he said, "but we'll have to, wait until to night He ought to be easy to move by that time." .But Deiore Joiento coma say a singleword, the soar of a plane came out of the sky. Huntergroan ed in despair. "Alma." he cried. "She's spotted her brother's wrecked plane. Here's their White Goddess!" Chris and Josellto watched through the window of the temple as Alma's and Bill's plane gilded to the surface of the lagoon at the far end of the clearing. Chris grimaced as the yelling and chant ing of the natives grew louder. "We'll put on native robes," he said, "It might ruin everything if they recognized us.

With regal gestures he scattered the un ugniea lire, tore aown the poles and released the fluttering chicken. jui. auotner instant, disregarding all else, he was on his knees be side Harry's inert form. "Everything's okay" he whisper ed- narry. .'.narry warding! uan you talk?1 There was onlv a faohlA mim. ment of the boy's head. Chris felt nis puwe, men ne stood up ana stretchSa his arms toward the cliff. Intoning loudly, he spoke: "This boys' too sick. Josellto! We've got to work on him before ha can travel! Pick up that me- oicine ait ana come in the way I did! Then order them to take Harding to the temple." The bewildered natives gazed off in the direction from which Chris had come. Suddenly there was an other explosion and JoseUto ad vanced, carrying a small kit, his face very serious. At his command native bearers picked up Harry and proceeded toward the temple. As they entered, the litter and carry Harry down to meet Alma, Tell 'em it is my wish that she take him away and that I'll bring her back later." When the bearers approached and set Harry Harding down on the sround. there was mingled iov and anguish on Alma's face. This was followed by astonishment as the disguised Josellto motioned for Harry to be carried to the plane. "I can hardly believe it" whis pered tne gin, nail in a trance. In a moment she was helping Bill lift her brother to a seat In the plane. Suddenly two natives rushed out of the Jungle. One was a warrior. The other.. .the Voodoo native Chris had left tied up in the midst of the swamps! He was screaming at tne top, of his lungs, pointing to the plane. JoseUto started. "Por Dlos!" he gasped. "Look who's here! You know what he's teUing them?" T know what he's telling them!" Chris muttered quickly. "Pick up tnat grass hoop-skirt and run for it!" Running to the water and leap ing tnto a dugout, JoseUto caugbi hold of the tail of the airship While it skimmed over the watei. It carried the little boat along When Bill finally raised his rlfli to fire, Josellto and Chris couldn'l Set their disguises oir.

Chris hat used his camera! Alma and Bil stood speechless, amazed. Then Alma, looked around wildly and dashed to the Union camera man. "Where's Chris Hunter?" sh snapped. "Why isn't he..." The cameraman hardly looked up from his instrument. "Chris?" he said calmly. "Oh, he went out on a hot one about two hours ago The cops got Two-Gun Hixon trap ped in a flat at Hamilton anc Broadway." Alma rushed for the first cab Twenty minutes later she was at the designated address. Across th way. barricaded by police, machine gun was operating. Ane there was Chris, crouching undet a window sUl with his camera. A policeman grabbed Alma at she started forward. But she sUpped from his graan and the next instant was in thi clear. There were horrified gaspi from the spectators as she raced madly down the block. "Grab hert" someone shouted "Bring her back! She'll be killed'.' Heedless, Alma raced across U Hunter's position. She fell tumbling at Chris' side, as the killer's but lets spatted over them. Chris turned, staring. "AlmaJ You're crazy," he shouted. He saw that she had bruised her arm fall ing into his retreat. "Why, you've been hurt," ht added. "What do you care?" she de manded. "Care," he exclaimed. "A publi figure Uke you? Shot by a gun, man? Get down, and stay down!" Carefully, he sighted his earners again, starting to aim it at th gunman. But suddenly he changed his mind. "Honey," he said with a grin, "This'll be the greatest shot I evet made in my life." He turned the camera directly on her as Hixon's last desperate bul lets pounded the cobbles en the street level. In another moment, tSe street above had become astonishingly quiet "Oh, they've got him now!" Alma said. "They can have him, honey, Chris replied, taking her in his e. tended arms. THE END.
