AN AZTEC SACRIFICE.
One Horrible Scene Of Many in Mexico
in the Days of the Montezumas.

One Horrible Scene Of Many in Mexico
in the Days of the Montezumas.
Fifty-two years constituted the Aztec
| cycle. To this cycle was added a compile
ment of thirteen days, intended to make
the solar and civil years agree 1t was be-
lieved that the world would come to an end
on the last night of cycle, and that the
gods, il merciful, would light their fires on
the distant mountains. If the world did
not come to an end the Aztecs congratu-
lated themselves that it would survive an
other cycle, and the thirteen compliment
airy days were passed with feasts, sacrifices
and bacchanals.
In the temple of Huitzilipochti there
was to be a gladiatorial combat, which
was nothing less than sacrifice. The six
ministers of the ceremony were at hand.
Topiltzin. the chief among them, clad in a
crimson vestment, with a crown of vari-
colored feathers, was performing the
duties that preceded a sacrifice to the god,
and the others, with whit0e>robes bordered
with black, their faces hideous with SOM
Der pigment and mouths painted white,
assisted him. A crowd filled the stone
walls of the temple TO witness the specta-
Gle, surging with impatience about the
temalcatl (or round, stone platform, eight
feet high where the combat was to take
place.
The victim, prisoner of war, is brought
in. Armed with only short spear and
shield, he is placed upon the temalcatl, tied
by one foot and confronted by an Aztec
warrior fully armed The fiat nostrils of
The victim are distended, his black eyes
burn with desperation; his coarse, black
hair struggled about his face, and his
thick, purple lips culver as he views the
well armed soldier before him
At word they fall to the fray The
spears clash and they fight like demons
the victim with the desperation of certain
death, the soldier to uphold his valor
among his comrades.
Suddenly, realizing how unequal the
contest, and that his fate is sealed what
ever the outcome of that battle, the pris-
oner throws away his shield and spear and
presents his breast TO the soldiers weapon.
pause, Il blow, and the victim falls
heavily TO the stone.
In n trice the priests, with frenzied
shouts and hair streaming about their de
moniacal faces are upon the temalcatl, and
have borne the dying man to block of
green jasper, on whose convex surface
they throw him. This is the sacrihcial
stone. and ToplitZin, who now takes the
name of the god to whom he sacrifices,
opens the breast of his victim tears out his
heart and offers it, still palpitating, to the
sun.
Then the bleeding trophy is placed in the
hollow mouth of the idol HuitziIipochtH,
and the lips of the statue daubed with
blood. The dead man is decapitated and
his head deposited in the Tzompati, an os-
suary where the skulls of sacrificed pris-
oners of war are set into the walls. The
soldier claims the body for his own, and
bears it away for the delectation of him
self and his anthropophagical comrades

recti0ns, Miss Macleod proceeded to mount
the stairs, the woman, who still stood at

bare-headed man at the gate. Her words
were sufficiently audible:
"You brutew she said, and banged the
door in his face.

inhabitants, Miss Macleod strobe up the

ably after. The first door on the right
stood wide open. Miss Macleod uncere-
moniously entered the room. Her nephew
followed sheepishly in the rear.
The room was good-sized one and was
scantily furnished. One striking piece of
furniture, however, it did contain, and
that was grand piano. At the moment
of their entrance the instrument stood
wide open, and at the keyboard was seated
young lady.
III am Miss vesey," she observed, with
out troubling herself to rise as the visitors
entered.
Miss Macleod bowed. She appeared
about to make some remark, pos
sibly with reference to the apostle spoons:
but before she could speak, Miss Vesey
went on:

Rev. George Vesey. He's dipsomaniac -
Miss Macleod started, which, under the
circumstances, was not unnatural. Her

FL beg your pardon. It seemed to
be stereotyped form of words with him.
PITY me! Pity me! Do"
The words were cry Of anguish- quite
as anguished as the music was. The Rev.
Alan looked round the room, perhaps for
succor and relief He saw his aunt, but at
that moment her face happened to be
turned another way.
If you need my pity. il il yours"
The words, like the lady's were spoken,
doubtless Internationally, in . whisper.
"If / can, III will!''
sfYou promise?"
Certainly"
Although the word was tolerably bold
one, it was by no means boldly spoken
probably that was owing to the state of
confusion existing in the speakers mind.
The theme was changed again. The
came from it which was positively deafen-
ing. The effect was most bewildering, es-
pecially as it concerned the Rev. Alan.
For in the midst of all the tumult he was
conscious of those words being addressed
to him by Miss Vesey.
Help me with your loveF
The instant the words we're spoken the
tumult died away, there was the languor-
Gus strain again. The curate was speech
less, which, all things considered, was
perhaps excusable An idea was taking
root in his brain that the musician was
mad, at least enough to be irresponsible
for the words she used. If that were so,
then, unlike the generality Of lunatics, she
had curious aptitude for sticking to the
point.
sLove me, or die!''

the curate.

spoken was Undesirable, as indescribable
as the music which accompanied them. 1t

CHAPTER III.

'Miss Bayley. am in position of the
EXTREMIST difficulty"
Miss Bayley was not only the Rev. Alan
Macleod's parishioner, she was, so to
speak, his co-euraie at Swaffham- on Sea.
Most of the parish being dissenters, his
congregation not unfrequently consisted
of two-the verger and Miss Bayley.
The curate had returned TO Swaffham,
and ii was this faithful feminine flower of
his iiock he was addressing now.
"Oh, Mr.. Macleod, am so sorry! Can
help your Is il spiritual?"
The curate shook his head. He had not
fallen quite so low as that The idea of
his coming TO a parson in petticpats for
help in spiritual matters struck him as too
absurd. He could scarcely excuse Miss
Bayley.
"Can you think that 1, your priest,
should come TO learn of you?"
Miss Bayley looked down.
Miss Bayley." He cleared his throat.
Ell have an aunt" The abashed Miss
Bayley signified that she had heard him
mention that fact hefore-which she had,
about half dozen times day. ssShe is
not one of u.s." Miss Bayley sighed: she
felt that she Was expected to sigh. ..She
is of the world, worldly Her thoughts
are fixed on temperatures. Being pos
sessed of great riches. TO which | am the
natural herr, the continual desire of her
life is that 1t should marry"
The Rev. Alan stammered a little at the
end. Miss Bayley perceptibly started.
That was the continual desire OF her life

leod, and will let you have an answer-say

sIn MOUTH The curate was aghast.
II want your answer now. Ellen, / do
entreat you, if You do not wish to see me
disgraced in the face of all the world,

But Mr.. Macleod. you do not even pre-
tend to care for me.
Care for you! I care for you more
than ever cared for any woman yet.
Then in that casea-the lady was
little coy-sit shall be just as you will"
At this point the ordinary lover would
have taken her In his arms, and here
would follow anumber of crosses denoting,
what we have seen termed, ''osculatory
conclusions" But the Rev. Alan was not
an ordinary lover at all. He continued
his frenzied pacing round the room.
1t Is not enough to promise to be my
wife, you must be my wife.
Mr.. Macleod, what do you mean?"
Miss Bayley-Ellen-those two persons
are at the rectory, awaiting my arrival at
this moment. She is q disreputable woman,
he is ruffianly man. They are quite
capable of coercing me into some dreadful
