The fat chieftain Saw the iiewecene

The soldiers and theie,captivee obeyed

•. • this, looked at him .,repitaChfully:

• D'Albentafa had lost his calm. Ric

said hastily. "These men are not good.

• The eltief's smile faded. His thick
lips puffed ,out uglily, "Hill

"High priest Smart:. Do what high

When Batalagos kili? What say high

"Tonight, 0' 0 son of the sun. • For

Though Elise'S knowledge of Guar -
any Was slight,. she had caught the
purport- of the chief's .annotincement.
Her Interest, however, centered not
on her ludicrous' wooer, but on D'Al-:
bentara. Her eyes were fixed on him
so steadily, so questioninglY, that he
turned his back to avoid Ler gaze.
The huge ;chief helped her to her
.feet.r The Portuguese* wad fdcing her
once more. Hen eyes were 'no longer
questioning; they were bitter, weary.
