SALAJVA GREEN tea will givt you most enjoyment "SALADA" GREEN TEA .. Fresh from the gardens* Jun by gle Breath Ben Lucien Barman THIS HAS HAPPENED Attempts have been made on the life of Klise Martarry, owner of largo plantations near Porto Verde, Brazil. Her cousin and protector, Vilak, be- lieves Gaylord Pre.itlss to bo respon- sible. Elise's two-year-old orphaned nephew, Tinky, is kidnapped. Prentiss has been seen in the jungle with a whlto child. An expedition la formed nd they follow Prentiss. Through de- sertion and i'.! fortune, only Klise, Vilak and Lincoln Nunnally, an elder- ly chemist, sur'-ive the trek through the jungle, and these three are cap- tured i> v sun-worshippers who intend to offer up the men as a sac-ifice at the feast of Kaynii. The king intends to marry Klise. NOW HKCIN THK STORY CHAPTKR XI.lll. "Got that ceremony from the Incas, too, pr<bably," Vilak muttered as he turned his head to look at the old man lying on the done two feet away. "Often a custom of fire-worshippers.

All day l.e lay rigid, mo- tionless, as though he were another of the gloomy stone figures carved in th> ruined temple walls. As wht-n he had lain in his room in Porto Verde, the pupils of his Mon- golian-like eyes dulled until they ap- I>eared the- eyes of a muramy rather than a man, while the thin film, lik a bird's imi'-r eyelid crept out from the corners. His swarthy skin became bloodies, his breath came stertorously through his open mouth. In the aften.oon his breathing and hK face beAme normal again; he spoke cheerfully to the old man, sweat- ing protufly in the hot sun, and be- gan watching a group of Indians eract a rude pavilion facing the idol and perhaps a hundred feet aw..y. Just before sunset this pavilion was the centre of another procession. Elbe garbed in a robe of brilliantly woven wool, was linrnc into it on a litter and Ret upon a stone chair. Before her came the fat half-breed women with the painted aprons and ringed ears who had been her escorts a few days before, then a long line of native wo- men of all varieties of dross, stature and racial mixture. Each deposited a flower or fruit at .ier feet. At sun- ni'wri Halalagos appeared. Giggling, he threw a groat veil or mantle of beautiful, ancient design over Elise and slio was lifted onto thn litter again anil can-led away. For half an hour the court was oncn more deserted. The prisoners had br.'n given no food during the day; now one of the hideously painted priest* brought them wine in two clay cere- monial vessels, held the bowls to their lips so they could drink, then put the vessels at their sides in depressions cut especially for the purpose in the stone. Throughout the ceremonies, which began soon after, they leturnzd nt intervals of approximately an hour to toucl. the bowls to the captives' lips, an though the drinking of the wir.. was an act of purification which made them fit to bp a gift to the gods. The court now filled anew with a swarming, buzzing multitude. Klise was brought out again and placed in the pavilion. TJatalai-o.i took a MMI 1m.

A dance was begun. Thirty or forty black, brown, and reddish-skinned women, their bodies bright with paint and feathers and their limbs jingling with metal orna- ments, leaped, bowed, quivered, gy rat- ed, while rows of men, with painted like death masks stamped their feet and beat time with thudci ing tomtoms. ISSUE No. 38- -'30 At a command from Balalapos the dance ceased. A fowl, a wild pig and two oxen were laid upon the altar-like stone, killed with a knife, mil their hearts thrown into the crackling fire. More dancing. A 'ile of native soldiers tame for- ward, each holding aloft a spear. On ea'-h spear-tip was a dried, shriveled human head. The soldiers fixed tHc'ir burdens like standards in two row? on each side of the open-mouthed i*lol. Nunnally noticed that each grim t rn phy bore the same tattooed triangles which had marred Prentiss' forehea I, while a tattooed line circled each shrunken neck just above the point when- it had been severed. Now a native with a particularly ferocious face was flung down r*-ar Vilak and made fast to another on t- of the seven stones, where he lay alto rn ately screaming with terror ..ml plt-atl- ing piteouely with bis caphrs. A s<.'c- ond young di-vr was slain 'o consult the omens; they decreed immediate sacrifice. Three of the soldier* dan<'ed a hort pantomime in which there -was much clashing of spears and italic ing through imaginary bushes. "This poor devil near us Is n mur-l derr-r." Vilak whispered to the old] man. "I got that from what he .-^niil when he was begging formerly. This pantomime i< a favorite .iiitmii of savages. They're showing t.ow how h:- committed the miinUr.

'Albentara gave a command. The savages swarming on all sides dropped to the ground and began a dismal chant. Their eyes WITC fixed as though tiynotized upon the grotesque idol. Suddenly n puff of smoke, follow?'! by a tongue of flame, issued from its mouth; its upraised arm began to des- cend. Nearer and nearer canio its thorny hand to the captive's r'orehcad. At last thorn met tattooed triangle. The criminal's convulsive struggles ceased ; he lay rigid. Yet lie was not dead; his drawn eyes gleamal with the tame bitter anguish which had marked the eyes of the prostrate Tony Bar- belta and Detto C'icerone and the creep! MR Limey Potts. While in this helpless condition, his bonds were united. Th priests be- tame four fiends. For half ; r. hour they tortured him. Then another heart, like those of the beasts, -went to the fire; another head and another spear joined the rows at tho foot of the idol. four natives, carrying hollowed reeds and gourds of different sizes, bonan a shrill wliistlinfi and noisy rat- tling intended to be music.

"You will not speak with me, r.ivalhiero? Ah, if so it must be, FO then it must be. You think that 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 so. Rather docs he hate blood, hato death. They are like mud, liko wounds upon the face of a beautiful woman.
