Ah Annette's party panned along, single file, up tho narrow overgrown shore road, slapping and swatting mosquitoes to their heart's content, they heard a quick Step behind them. Thoy turned. An officer closing up their rear, saluted. I If was the ship's surgeon. He strode on with brisk pace. "Let me get ahead there it" you please," he said, "there's something that I don't like abont this plaee- I want to have a look." Scarcely had, lie said it before a native woman darted out of a tumble down hut one of many that fronted on the shore road. ".Mad re' di I >io:s," she cried in shrill, accents, " A niericitnos help ? ^succor. For the love of Iwaven." She kneeled by the roadside and as i he surgeon swung along, she clasped him. by the. knees. . "My child -my man ehild^my only one." she wailed, in the' Spanish tongue, "he is at death's door.

Finally he lYmnd his way to tho cen ter of tlve town and made an inquiry. He was directed u> a somewhat formal looking building. The surgeon strode on into tho J house. He found the mayor in his I pajamas, smoking u cigar. The surgeon seated himself and ae- j cepte ! a palmleaf fan. "Sorry," ho ! said, but your place reeks with yel low fever ? you've got an epidemic on ! your lianfls ? " Mayor Kanum Carrol started u*p. Madre di Dios," he cried, "what ? not ' another one.

They are grate ful." The surgeon snorted. "Excuse me for a moment," lie exclaimed. He darted down the street and caught a young woman by the arm just as she was entering an adobe hut. The young woman was Annette II inpton. "You young renegade," lie cried, sternly, "1 thought I told you to keep away ? hands off ? you'll kill yourself.

Out of a clump of trees upon a hill there sauntered forth a man ? this man waft Ponto. Ho picked his way carefully ? warily. He fore he knew it he was Where, he wanted not to he -in .the streets of the town. Qnce in. he started out, hut .something attracted his attention. A little crowd or p. fn and . women stood about a placard tasked upon the side of a hut. Ponto read it swiftly. I'onto raised his eyebrows signifi cantly. lie had hoard rumors ? this cor. firmed them. "Mosquitoes.." he said softly to him self. "mosquitoes." lie tucked tho word mosquitoes back in the inmost recesses of hi.s mind and went his way. Skirting the town lie reached the. Inn of tho Spanish Don. From the rear lie spied a figure in a win dow. lie whistled softly. ^ A woman in the window started' slightly, and peered out. Ponto clambered up to the window and noiselessly tore the net from ft, immediately replacing it as best ho might. Ho sniffed the air. "Ah." whispered Inez Castro softly, "I am smeared with crude oil ? face and hands and ankles. I am immune. Here, you smear also. Ponto." ? "Where," queried Ponto, "Is tho map?" "So far as I determine," answered] Inez, "she has.it still." "You cannot got it?'* unless 1 show my hand." said Inez. _ I Ponto shook his head. "Not," he returned, "until the chief says tho word. What of mine host?" ho quor led. "A blood-sucker." answered Inez;,] he'll do anything for coin." "Summon him," said Ponto. ' The proprietor was summoned At the door, at si?ht of Po^to he started back In surprise. Hut Ponto held his finger on his lips, and exhibited a multitude of coins In the open palm of his hand. The proprietor advanced and quickly appropriated the coin. "More later." whispered Ponto, "sit down ? confer with us." An hour later Ponto ? a black patch on the background 'of black night it self ? stealthily pushed open the door of a hut in tho middle of a clump of small trees on a hill. A man inside, waking suddenly, a9 suddenly sprang up, knife in hand. "Soft, capitan,*' whispered Ponto, "it Is but I." The two men struck ? liuhi ?nd down facing each other. Ponto spoke in measured tones ? eT cry word that he uttered from now on contained portent. He knew what he was about. In the back of his head he had an idea ? baleful but useful. "Yes," ho said, "tho mosquitoes car ry tho pestilence. One might call it the mosquito sickness just ae well. And at dusk, then is their time ? thou ther bite the -worst ?
