lows, but producing iron of such supe-
rior quality that the savages refused to
use the English metal, alleging that it
was rotten. But his ideas had expanded,
and he had erected stone structure
with a complicated blasting apparatus
that filed him with great hopes as he
watched it nearing completion and made
him eager as boy to see it in full and
perfect operation.
Leila would come to him and find him
SO occupied and intent upon his duties
that sometimes he feared she would
think him cold and neglectful, and she
SO tenderly fearful of disturbing or an
moving him that the feeling showed in
her face as she lowered about him. At
these times he would look into her eyes
with such deep, earnest devotion that
she would creep up to him, wind her
arms about. his neck, with ardently WOE
Shipping eyes and clinging kisses, for a
few moments and then say demuEely:
ooh, must not bother my darling. He
is so busy, my great minded hero" and
make a motion as it to leave. Then
they would waste half hour more in
loving dalliance, when she would sud
denly assume an air of stern displeasure
and bid him to go to work while she at
tended to her duties.
These moments came often, too, dur
ing the summer days, when only his as
sistants in all Atzlan were busy and at
work, and they made the hours of self
imposed toll shorter and pleasanter.
She took the fondest interest in every
thing he did, and she had, too, many
plans of her own for the education and
advancement of her sex in Atzlan,
which were the outcome of her love and
the knowledge obtained from Eric. Her
aptitude for learning amazed him al
times; it seemed so phenomenal in one
whose life had been passed in such an
environment. But in truth the Atzlan
mind was in some such state as was the
pagan world at the time of Christ. Like
children the Atzlans listened, believing
all that they heard, and DESTROYS to en-
ulate the people who had learned sc
much they watched all of Gilbert's en-
terprises with vague wonder and huge
expectancy.

Along the side of the chamber were
ranged three rows of urns filed with
gold dust, kingly store Of itself, that
equaled the widest fantasy of the Ara
bian story teller and made Eric almost
fear that he was dreaming. Among all
these treasures Iklapel picked his way,
and Gilbert followed him until the old
man paused before heap of silver bars
and lifting several passed them to him,
saying:
'Six of these are all that you require.
They are worth thousand taos and
more, but we need not be particular.
It is years since these things were
touched We do not have as much
need of them as we once had, it seems. "
GLOW long have these treasures been
accumulating?" inquired Eric.
"Many thousands of years. In the
ancient times we had twenty temples,
and these statues adorned them; the
utensils and furniture were used in
them, and the people yearly brought
new and rare gifts; but as our race de-
clined they were gathered here, and here
they have remained"
"But are they safe here, with nc
guard?"
every safe, indeed, for no one knows
except ourselves of their existence or OF
this chamber. Of course our people
know of the maze of underground pas
sages, but they fear to penetrate them
and the passage leading to this room il

| we will return with our burden before
It grows late" And the aged pries
moved up the dark way with the light
while Gilbert carried the silver ingots.
It was no mean load; they weighed
many pounds, and his arms ached whel
they reached the sacred chamber ant
climbed up into daylight.
That night Eric went with Kulcan t.
Chalpa's dwelling for the first and onl..
time, taking the silver with him. The!

had made, and Chalpa, with his back tc

There was q set of eleven dice in each
compartment, the odd numbers FREEDOM
mating in one side and the even ones In
the other, SO that he could throw out
on the table the proper set to win the
largest of the wagers, as the players
placed their money on the odd or even
side Of the table. He used this false box
only in the presence of the more mex
perienced or intoxicated and therefore
careless players, and he was extremely
Ikillful in tho sleight of hand necessary
to secrete it quickly under his long white
robe.
Kulcan, however, even after he sus-
pected him of cheating, was unable to
detect him in the act, for he imagined
that he deftly changed the dice instead
of the box, and so when he reported to
Eric, after watching Chalpa awhile, he
confessed that he had been mistaken and
was unable to explain the operation.
The next day Eric informed Iklapel
that he required thousand taos OF sill
yer and asked him to obtain it for him
from the subterranean treasury. The
old man readily consented, and request
ing Gilbert to accompany him led the
way to the room beneath the temple.
He allowed Gilbert but moment 70

GREAT ROCK ISLAND ROUTE
TO THE EAST.

BEST DINING CAR SERVICE IN THE WORLD.
The Rock Island is foremost in adopt
ing any advantage calculated to inn
prove speed and give that luxury, safety
and comfort that popular patronage de-
mands. Its equipment is thoroughly
complete with vestibuled trains, mag
nificent dining cars, sleepers and chair
coaches, all the most elegant, and OF
recently improved patterns.
Faithful and capable management
and polite, honest service from en-
ployes are important items. They are
q double duty-to the Company and TO
travellers and it is sometimes task
difficult of accomplishment. Passen-
gers on this line will find little cause
for complaint on that ground.
The Importance of this Line can be
better understood if short lesson in
geography be now recited.
What is the great Eastern termini OF
the Rock Island Route?-Chicago.
What other sub-Eastern termini has
it?-Peoria. To what important points
does it run trains to the Northwest
st. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota,
and WATERFOWL and Sioux Falls, Da-
kota. To what important Iowa and
Nebraska points? Moines, Daven-
port, Iowa; Omaha and Lincoln, Ne
braska.
REMEMBER
The Great Rock Island Route runs all
regular trains to Englewood suburban
station, close to Worlds Fair grounds,
and you can save time and trouble by
getting of at that point and avoid the
crowd in the city.

CHAPTER VIII.
THE ross OF THE DICE.


Chalpa's success in entangling Kulcan
in his snares was not wholly the result
of well laid scheme. 1t was largely
due to circumstances. The young priests
suddenly developed taste for gambling
was simply the foundation upon which
Chalpa based his villainous plot, and he
succeeded beyond his expectations when
he induced Kulcan to wager his sister.
Chalpa did not love her; he was proba-
bly, incapable of the pure passion. Re
wanted her merely because he felt that
she would strengthen his claim to the
vacant chair of Office.
Many of the priests and wealthy citi-
Kens frequented his rooms, which were
large and comfortable, and were rem
dered attractive by liberal dispensation
of aitsi. The game which was played
was but one of many ancient forms of
dice throwing.
The players sat on the floor around q
square stone tablet and made wagers
upon the odd or even numbers on the
dice as they fell out of an ohlong box
upon the table. The dicebox had a
round opening at each end, and was
balanced upon the apex of a prism shaped
piece of wood. This permitted the
manipulation, Chalpa, to throw the dice
out Of either end, as he wished. The dies
were small cubes of baked clay, mum
bered like modern dice, and the game
when played fairly was one of even
chances. But, as Gilbert suspected
Chalpa did not play fairly, and his de
vice, simple, almost clumsy one, would
have been easily detected in a gambling
room In any civilized community.
When he wished to cheat he substi
tuted for the box another, with a parti
ton dividing it diagonally into two
parts, thus:

SILVER MEN READY,
The National silver Convention

The National Silver Convention in
Chicago to be Largely Attended.
CHICAGO, July 31.-The indications are
that the national silver convention to be
held in this city tomorrow will be largely
attended. Delegates are expected from
every state and territory, although the sill
reproducing sections are most largely
represented. The leaders of the silver
movement are, for the first time on record
perhaps, proceeding with caution, and even
such free coinage advocates as Lee Gran
dali of Washington and General Warner of
Ohio, decline to express an opinion as to
exactly what will be the outcome of the
convention.
A strong attempt is to be first made to
unite all the different elements of the CON-
vention in one line of action, regardless of
past political affiliations; and populists,
democrats and republicans will be asked
to forget for time their partissnship in
the coming struggle for free silver. 1t is
already certain that the resolutions to be
adopted and the delegation sent to Wash
ington will be in opposition to the repeal
of the Sherman law unless coupled with
the repeal is enacted a rule providing for
greater volume of circulating medium.

the road. The overtures have been made

be surprised il deal was made to include

division is secured by the Consolidated
road all passenger trains will be run to the

MUCH COMMENT EXCITED

BY the Ambiguous Tone OF the
French Cabinet Council In Accept
Ing Siam,s Surrender.
!. PARIS, July 31.-The ambiguous tone of
yesterdays cabinet council in accepting
Slams surrender has excited much COM
ment. 1t is generally understood that
this tone was adopted for the purpose of
soothing international susceptibilities.
1t is stated on authority that France in
tends to take decisive steps to insure
Slams carrying out the terms of the ulti-
mstum. The blockade will be continued,
1t is understood, until Frances demands
are satisfied. The French force Is believed
to be sufficient to make the blockade eff
fective.
The general opinion here is that the is
sue of the controversy is a triumph for
French over English diplomacy.
