Suddenly rose the sharply sounding tones OF con-

that no blood had flowed.
AT last the excitement of the dances va
raised to the highest pitch; one party OF the ~
tiers splaDg for the last time To their bow, sl
aimed at the breasts of their opponents, but tss
let their weapons fall, and with averted itss
offered their hearts to the arrows. Then ieitk

shouts of joy, and the bells in joyous tones jast
